LIVERPOOL. Sept., .V- “Stormy j
! days” after the war were predicted
today by Sir Alfred l»ooth, presiding j

prise.
Internationa! attempt to divide up
: the raw materials of the world
among competing industries, making
politics, instead of price the determ

ternational jealousies engendered bv
! such a system,” said Sir Alfred, (
i “would be sufficient to kill any Lea
gue of Nations where we might have j
to form.”
Labor unrest due to false'hopes of j
a new heaven and a new earth.

LONDON, Sept., b— A Canadian
oliicer, wounded early in the war,
came io St. Katharine's Lodge, one of
ihc American Red Cro.-s orthopedic
hospitals in London7 to have his left
aim made over. The elbow had been
shattered. 'Hie officer was given a
choice of having a weak, movable el
bow, or a strong stiff one. Without
hesitation, the Canadian chose the
ridt e.bow, and astonished the sur
geons oy asking that the arm be made
perfectly straight so he could use a
hunting rifle and a billiard cue.

that he could continue to ride a horr>e.
