RITESH AT WINDSOR CASTLE Twenty Men-iâ€"bâ€"ers of Royalty Pay Final Tribute to Queen Mother Alexandra. London, Nov. 29.â€"Twenty members of the royal families of England and European countries yesterday, hum- bly and privately, paid their final tri- butes to the late Queen Mother Alex- andra. With extreme simplicity the remains of Britain’s "Fairy Queen" were buried in the Albert Memorial Chapel at Windsor Castle. Escorted by only a small number of automobiles, the casket was taken at seven o'clock in the morning from Westminster Abbey, and conveyed in a motor hearse to Windsor Castle. The residents of Windsor, despite the fact that business had been suspended as a mark of the community’s respect, saw little of the last rites for the neon Mother. Windsor’s great park, t. rough which the cortege passed to closed to the public. The service, which began almost immediately on arrival of the remains, was brief and simple. Only one hymn, “Abide With Me,” was sung. At the burial were the British royal family and the Kings of Norway and Denmark, the Queen of Norway, Prince and Princess George of Greece, and Prince Olaf of Norway. At the conclusion of the hymn the OF CANADA CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET' LIABILITIES Notes of the Bank in circulation . . . . . . . Due to other Banks Dividend and Bonus Deposits . . . . .

He now sees that as an impossible attitude. “What he is determined to do now is not to take anything sitting down, but stand up and fight it out. “To anyone who knows the facts and looks closely you see. this resolve to make good running throughout'the country in every class and in every village and city, men are thinking of what is their duty on the economic side of citizenship, how to fight waste, gm not bending the nation in the very commit the other parts of the Empire :against their will. “Freedom and |union" are the two principles upon [which our Commonwealth of Nations ‘has been built up, that remains our {guiding star. It is in that sign that ‘we shall lead the world. Pitt said that l England had saved herself by her own exertions and would save the world by her example. It is my firm belief that the British Empire has saved itself by its efforts and will now help to save the world by the example which it is offering mankind, of how a Commonwealth of Nations can be [run and ought to be run.” ..

Thursday’s conferences at London Ulster, and President Cosgrave of the Free State Cabinet concerning the! boundary situation as between North-: em and Southern Ireland failed to help matters. .

Raoul St. Germain has been placed under arrest charged with murder. ,Canadian National Railways inch- tigation department officials say that St. Germain and William Leicbrc came into Graham from n trapping expedition, evidently under the influ- ence of liquor. The,men, police say, pulled guns and began to shoot. Mike Lacezko. section laborer, was shot dead, and C. eroid, section foreman was badly wounded. St. Germain then turned his gun on his partner, Lefcbre and killed him. ' ' .__~. .4 i “Shingled” hair was popular among' French ladies at Court fully 2230 years ago.

Responding to the many expressions of condolence on the death of his mother, Dowager Queen Alexandra, King George to-day issued a message to the Empire, reading as follows: “To my people: “In my great sorrow I am helped by the flood of sincere and generous sympathy reaching me from every quarter of the British Empire, and indeed from all parts of the world. “While deeply grateful for these expressions of good will, I also re joke that my beloved mother enjoyed the constant and warm affection of my people.
