the house was for rent.
1.-The very idea," said Mrs. Wood
pecker, when her husband told her
what Mr.. Squirrel had asked; she

after the imperial conference in Lon

and Washington.

Sir Robert Borden was prime minister
and was the subject Of prolonged ne
gotiations with the British govern

to Canada having a representative at
Washington, the British idea in the
first instance was that such an officer
should have only the status of COM

ment maintained, on the other hand,
that in view of Canada's part in the

five years.
While whistles and sirens sent up
shrill welcome and thousands at
the dock cheered. the veterans
