ABSENCE OF US.
 HAMPERSLEACUE
Major Gen. O'Ryan, Forum Speaker, Urges
 Cooperation

: A plea for the entrance of the United States into the League of Na- tions was voiced last night by Major General John F. O'Ryan, speaking at the Second Congregational church forum. The speaker de- clared that this country's refusal to join the league ,deterred that or ganizatoin from effective action.
 General ORyan said that govern ments must give up their right to make war as they please" and that all but few have agreed in prin- ciple to do this. The United States, he said, is not ready to give up this right, is not ready for world peace, and defeats the rest of the world in working toward that end.
 He urged 8 world police power for the league as more effective meas ure than sanctions. He also said that the nations should be asked to supply military aid against aggres- sors in wars. In regard to paci- fism, the speaker said that the ma jority of the youths who profess a belief in it would forget their VOWS under the pressure of martial music and wartime propaganda.
 The average family, General o. Ryan said, could help attain world peace by understanding the problem and by organizing locally and na- tionally but bearing in mind con- stantly that the problem was inter- national in scope.
 Rev. Dr. John c. Walker intro duced the speaker. Last night marked the opening of another sea- son for the Second Church forums.

 If Charlie Millar ever had Q blighted romance, no one knows about it. And there is no record that he ever showed any partiCu- lar interest in children.
 " &gs
 LOVE LAW AND HORSES All these who knew him are agreed about two things. His great loves were horse racing and law, and above all else, he dis liked hypocrisy.
 Twice he was offered the honor of Kings Counsel and refused it.
 When his horse, Tartarean, won tn. Kings Plate (blue ribbon event of the Canadian turf), lMillar re- fused to appear to accept the trophy publicly.
 As his wealth and reputation Sn- creased, he continued to live at the same hotel where he had lived as student, riding to and from his office on a street car. Not until after his fathers death did he build the home on Scarboro road which his mother came to share with him. .S.
 He had no patience. whatever with "uplifters."
 Why did he leave bis fortune to be disposed of in such q ctri- ous way2 No one knows. Despite the act that there are. many te scor- at the Millar will, and many more to tell how the money SHOULD have been left. the fact remains that the courts must, or Oct. 31, 1896, settle the su m or some woman, many, many times THE EN ID

and retaining more than I re- quired in my lifetime"
 JEST IN EVERY REQUEST
 Then follow the strange bequests including:
 Brewery stock to every Protestant minister in Toronto.
 Ontario Jockey club shares to men who led crusades against horse racing.
 Kenilworth Jockey club shares to every Christian minister ill Walkerville, Sandwich, and Wind sor (except one who shot a hotel keeper).
 Shares in OKeefe's brewery (long controlled by Roman Cath olics) to every Orange lodge (anti- CatholicJ in Toronto.
 The balance, according to ex- plicit instructions, is to be paid to, "the mother who has since my death given birth in Toronto te the greatest number of children as hown by, the registrations under the Vital Statistics Act"
 If there is 8 tie, the money is to be equally divided.
 The will caused no end of dis cussion in Toronto. Even today the Child Welfare Council is con sidering petitioning the govern ment to withhold the money and use it not or the benefit of one family, but for the u unfortunate children of unemployed of the province of Ontario.
 RELATIVES LOSE WILL FIGHT
 There were nine first cousins oi Charles Millar here and there in Canada and the United States when he died. They heard of the will through the newspapers. It was 6 bitter pill to'Swallow.
 Most of them were poor. They hired legal counsel and started to fight the case. But counsel em- ployed by the Ontario government to defend "the unknown mother won each case brought to the courts.
 Relatives advanced the argument that the will tended to place 6 premium on immortality by offering an inducement to women, whether married or not, to compete against each other in sexual indulgence"
 Apparently their statement re. garding whether married or not was correct, for there was nothing in the will stating that the To. ronto mother had to be married

and say, '1C was JoKe. He never intended to carry it out. He meant to leave another will"
 But Millar's $500,000 joke-if joke it was-is an unshaken one, after nine years of court turmoil. And no other will ever has been found.
 Now, with a year of the race to go, the executors of the eccentric millionaire's estate-the Toronto General Trust Corporation, the National Trust Company, and C.. R. Sproat, 8 member of Millar's law f1rm-have begun the huge task of converting it into cash.
 And half dozen mothers, each with 8 to 10 children born since Oct. 31, 1926, starting date of the race, look confidently forward to victory, each claiming to be ex- pecting another blessed event. " The winners likely will be par- ents in dire poverty. Most of the six contending families are on relief.
 AMAZED AT WILL Plenty of men and women in Toronto who remember Charlie Millar shake their heads when the will is mentioned. Often they blush.
 Yes, Millar was a sportsman, and owned a string of race horses. Yes, ne mad a lot of money in gold and silver mining when such investments were 8 gamble. Yes, he liked a Hong shot" in buSi- ness as well as on the race track. Enjoyed joke, too.
 But Millar, himself, was always dignified. Never stopped to prac- tical jests.
 That's why Toronto can't up- derstand the "Baby Derby"
 The only explanation that ever has been given is in the words of Millar himself, taken from the first paragraph of the will:
 "This will" he wrote, is nec- essarily uncommon and capricious because I have no dependents or near relations and no duty rests upon me to leave any property at my death and what I do leave is proof of my folly in gathering

THROUGH more than six cen- turies, the mighty cathedral at Cologne, in Germany, was under construction until today it appeals to visitors not so much for it's mod ernized outer architecture as for its more imposing and graceful in. terior. Begun in the 18th century, pausing in it's growth through va. rious conflicts, and even falling into disrepair for a while. the ca. thedral finally was completed in 1880 by Emperor William I.
 Early in it's history, Cologne Ca. thedral was repository for the skulls of the Three Wise Men of the East who had come to Bethle. hem to do homage to the newborn Jesus. Hosts of pilgrims came here to view these relics in the Chapel of the Magi. But the only proof of these bones today is the gold reliquary which is kept in the

 But even this argument failed to move the courts. They upheld the Millar will in Its entirety. ESTATE GAINS VALUE
 Millar's investments, in real es- tate, mine, and brewery stock, and the Detroit Windsor vehicular tiln- mel, are worth far more today than when he wrote the will. Usually set at $500, 900, 1t, is likely that they will total considerably more.
 Every penny of Charles Vance Millar,s fortune he made himself. Born near Aylmer, Ont, in 1853, he grew up on a farm and disappointed his father by becom- ing lawyer instead of 3 farmer. It was his. mother who helped Millar get the funds to attend the University of Toronto. Apparent ly this rift with his father was never healed. At the time oi Millar,s death his only relatives, whom he ignored, were on the fathers side of the family.
 He entered a Toronto law firm soon gained recognition as 8 cor- poration lawyer, and became known throughout Canada. He was a recognized authority on commer- cial law and wrote a textbook on the subject.
 HEADED COACH COMPANY
 Millar was president of. the famous B. X. Company, the Brit ish Columbia Express Co, which ran six-horse stage coaches from Ashcroft to Barkerville, far up in the Cariboo gold mining country Later, in the oil boom following the discovery of oil at Fort Norman I Millar and his associates sold the B. X. Company and organized the Alberta and Arctic Transportation Go, running large sternwheel steamers on the Peace River-Mac- kenzie River route to the far north His Interest in mining also was extensive. In 1905 he obtained a large interest in the Lawson mine l at Cobalt. On this was the "silver
