April IT F-The supreme court of Ontario today was the scene of a second fighting of the battle of Mons as General Sir Arthur Currie. former commander of the Canadian corps. sought to refute charges that the entry of the ! Belgian town by Canadian troops on November II. 1918, was made at deliberate waste of human lives to giorify the Canadian head quarter staff.

 The article is adimtted to have been written by Preston and a large part of the opening days tes- tlmony yesterday was 10 esta blish that the ''commander-in- in chief" re- fcrred to in the article was Sir Ar thur.

T|LSON WILL JET
 Sl5,70l IN SALARY
Served as Federal Judge by
 Coolidge's Appointment
BY GEORGE II. MANNING


 1 Washington Bureau of the N. B. Herald)
 Washington. D. C.. April IT, Representative John c. Tilson's brother, William J. Tilson of Georgia, will probably get s15.7olss for his services as federal district judge for the middle district of Georgia. dur l ing the time he served without the 1 senate's confirmation.
 It will le remembered that Judge Tilson was twice given recess ap- continents to this post by President Coolidge. When the senate. during the second session of the G9th Con- sress, refused to confirm him, the President appointed him again. the day after the senate adjourned. Then, last December. when it became clear 1 that the senate would never confirm him, the President finally withdrew i the nomination. and soon found an- 1 other job for the brother Of the ma jorlty leader of the house of repre- stntatives.
 Judge Tilson served from July 10. 1926. until March IT, 1928.
 The judiciary committee of the house of representative has favor ably reported to the house q bill authorizing the payment Of $l5,7Ol.- 5S as compensation for his services during this period. It has the ab- proval of the entire Georgia delega- tlon in the house and the senate.
 Although the senate would not confirm Judge Tilson's nomination for the federal district judgship in Georgia, it promptly confirmed his nomination for judge of the court of customs appeals, and he is now holding this position.
 There is precedent for paying Judge Tilson his salary for the time he served without senate confirma- tion. Congress passed similar bill to pay the salary Of Judge Ewing c. Bland of Missouri for the time he served without the senate's approval,
 Representative s. Rutherford Of the sixth Georgia district introduced the bill 10 pay Judge Tilson for his services.
