U. S.-Canadian
Peace ‘‘‘Lesson
for Europe”
So Harding, First American
President to Set Foot on
Canadian Soil, Declares
at Vancouver.
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."

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.

Sene Prison Term for For

Trial Denied.
Denver, July 28.—Father Watter A
Grace, Arvada priest, was sentenced
to two years in federal prison on each
of two counts for forgery of applica
tions for liquor permits this after
noon. The sentences are to run con
currently. A motion for a new trial
was denied. The case will be ap
pea led.
The sentence was imposed by Judge
.1. Foster Kyinea in United States dla
trict coyrt.
Father Grace made no plea for Judl
oial leniency, nor did he show signs
of emotion when He heard the sen
tence pronounced.
The handful of attorneys and the
small group of spectators who had
gathered In the courtroom obviously
to hear Judge Byrnes deliver a scath
ing lecture to Father Grace waa dis
appointed.
Judge Symes complimented attor
neys for the defense for the "orderly
way in which the case had l>een con
ducted." after Krsklne Myer, chief of
defense counsel, had addressed the
court, saying Father Grace had no
plea to make and pointing out that
the defense, of necessity had been
clean and that no untruths could
have entered iwcause no evidence
was introduced for Father Grace.
"The conduct of the case has been
splendid.” ssid Judge f<ymes. "The
court can hardly believe that n man
in the position and standing of
Father Ornce would do what he hits
been convicted of doing. However,
the Jury has found him guilty and
this court can but accept that verdict
and provide punishment."
