marty. the Red Rooster, proletarian
Child and several other sheets, printed
secretly in Milan, Turin and Triest

that Socialists and SyndiCalists, for

united front" Anarchists. too. are
throwing in their lot with the Triest
group and are sending TO the local
red relief fund a quantity of money
assertedly gathered among the anar-

While calling upon the red workers
of Italy to aid the international cause
of Communism, Unity emphasizes that
the first duty is organization for the
overthrow of Fascism. To this end,
it is asserted. shop committees, or
"red cells" are being extensively or

H. C. MCLEOD, PROMINENT CANA DIAN FlNANCIER, SEIZED
 WITH HEART ATTACK

l Mrs. John Preston, we'll known Seward resident, received in the last
 mail from the States news of the death of brother-in-law, H. c. Me-
 Leod, former general manager of the
 Bank of Nova Scotia and a financier | of international repute, who died at his winter home in Camden, South
 Carolina. He was seized with an at- tack of heart trouble and died shortly
 afterwards. Mr. Mcleod was in his
 18th year.
 Economist, banker, yachtsman and amateur yacht designer, Mr. Mcleod was Canadian who more than once during his career stepped into nation l al prominence. He was a fearless fighter, once he was convinced of the rightness of any cause, and he op- osed for many years the formation of 1 the Canadian Bankers Association as being contrary to the best interests of the public. Long before the sys-
 tenn of government inspection of
 banks was established, MT. Mcleod
 was the leading advocate of this re- form.
 l Born and brought up in New Lon
 don, Prince Edward Island, MT. Me-
 Leod, the son of Scottish sea cap-
 tain, was by birth and environment
 linked with the Sea. In later years
 he showed his love of the water by
 taking part in various yachting
 events, notably the New York-Ber-
 muda race of 1909, in which he navi-
 gated the ."Amorita' to victory and
 established a new record for the
 course
 | MT. Mcleod was educated in the
 local schools of New London and in
 his 18th year went to Charlottetown
 where, for four years, he read law. Later he joined the staff of the Mer- chants Bank in Prince Edward Is- l land and in 1875 became manager of it's Georgetown branch In 1882 he left that position to enter the service of the Bank of Nova Scotia as mana ger of it's Amherst branch. Later he became manager of the Winnipeg branch and from there went to Min neapolis and Chicago where he estab- Ished agencies. He retired in 1910.
