By International »wi Service. Vancouver. B. C., July 26.—Presi dent Harding made history today. He came to Canada—the first American president ever to set foot on Cana dian soil—with an inspiring message of American friendship and peace which has existed .more than 100 years on no firmer foundation than a scrap of paper. This enduring record of Canadian American peace—peace maintained without frontier fortifications or war like display along the Great Lakes— affords an object lesson to the entire world. President Harding declared In his speech In Canadian territory, de livered before a distinguished au dience at Stanley park. Particularly, President Harding as serted, the Canadian-American pic ture of contentment and prosperity without quarreling or arming should provide a great moral lesson to those European countries that continually criticise and envy North American prosperity, yet who consistently re fuse to ud.e the medicines which would cure their ills and provide them with similar peace and prosperity. Just Human Nature. "If only European countries would! heed the lesson conveyed by ' 'anada i and the United States," declared the president, "they would strike at the root of their own continued disagree ment and, in their own prosperity, forget to inveigh constantly at ours." “That we would reproach them for their resentment and envy,” con tinued the president, "after all is hut a manifestation of human nature, hut ral her should we sympathise with their seeming inability to break the shackles of age-long methods and re joice In our own relative freedom from the stultifying effect of old world customs and practices. We are not palsied by the habits of thousands of jears. Others derive satisfaction from contemplating their resplendent pasts. We have relatively only the present to regard, with eager eyes fixed chief ly upon our future.” No Ancient Grudges. President Harding said we nave no "departing greatness," no ‘‘lost prov inces to regain, no new territory to covet, no ancient grudges to “gnaw eternally at the heart of our national conscience." The president mention ed no names In citing these oft used causes for war, but the application to Central Europe was unmistakable. The president referred to England ns the motherland, to Canada and United States as sister lands, and told his jftjdience "the ancient bugaboo of the United States scheming to annex Canada disappeared from all our minds years ago.” Continuing, he said: "Heaven knows we have all we can manage now." Then added humorously: "It I might offer a word of advice to you it wduld be: Don't encourage any enterprise look ing to Canada's annexation of the United States. You are one of the most capable governing people in the world, but I entreat you for your own sakes think twice before you under take the management of the terri tory between the Great Lakes and the Rio Grande." More rather than aspiring tu each others possessions. President Hard ing stated, let Canada and the United States travel the road to peace, prosperity and happiness side by side, mutually helpful. The president said one of the greatest aids to Canadlan-Amerioan accord was the constant Interchange of citizens. He pointed out that the United States had restricted Euro pean Immigration but that there were no restrictions to Canada and also pointed out the heavy American investment* In Canada. "Our protection I* in our fraternity, our armour is our faith," the presi dent said, "and God grant that It will continue through all time." Former Crown Prince “Mysteriously Aeti\e” Hy International News Service.. London, July 2fi.—The former Ger man crown prince 1* "becoming mys terlounly active," said a dlnpateh to the Evening News today. It la al leged In some quarters that a mon archist plot Is brewing.

William hoarded the yacht and conferred at length with mysterious personages on board, Later lie has tened to Hoorn, where hla father, the former kaiser, is living in exile Legend of Sea Dragon Hits Rocks Hay Springs Investigation As sociation Promotes Scheme to Deceive Gullible and Reap Harvest. Scaly Dinosaur Myth Tee, Alltali lake has no sea mon ster. The secret of the scaly dinosaur, variously reported as from 30 to Ml., feet in length, and both with and without horns, but undoubtedly sweating blood from every pore and belching flame from both nostrils, is out. He is a creature of the great god of press agenting. For weeks, before anything was done about it, the fame of his great riess was noised abroad. Then the natives of Hay Springs, Neb., near where the lake made fa mous by the monster, is located, got “hep” to themselves. They organized the Hay Springs Investigation association, with the avowed purpose of dragging the lake in aearch of the monster. An artis tic touch was the decision to send for a whaling outfit and harpoon the brute. Gullible Folks get "Balt.” They made no secret of the mat ter. They permitted it, In fact, to become known. tVord of It spread wherever men are men and lakea have sea monsters, and even into the effete but credulous cities. And great was the fame thereof. Then, suddenly, the investigation hit a snag. The snag was named Ed ward IValgren, and It owned the land around the lake. Walgren wasn’t go ing to have hia beautiful pasture land trornped down by a lot of fool ish city sightseers in automobiles, looking for a crazy sea monster. Salty Tears From lake. Officials of the association went to Edward with tears in their voices. They spoke to him of many tilings. They talked convincingly to him of publicity with a capital P. They spoke to him of the large crowd. They spoke to him of 7,000 cars pledged from Omaha, and Lincoln, and Alliance, and Crawford, and • 'hadron, and some more that they forffot; they touched on tile four pas sengers in each ear; on admission fees: on tho $10,000 they ought to clear; and of his share of 4.000 round berries. Rut I-ease Didn't Say $1,000. They submitted to him a lease for the land and lake for three months. But the lease didn't say anything about the $4,000. It wanted to split 60-i0. Edward made a lease of his own, with the 4,000 berries In big black letters right up on top of the docu ment. But officials of the association couldn’t "see ’em." As a result, the dragging enterprise has gone by the board. Which is tough on the village, but very nice for the blood-sweating eea monster.
