NEW FRENCH MINISTER TO SIAM.

Parla. November 6.

M. Wilden Franes, Consul General at Shanghai, has been ap" pointed Minister to Bangkok to replace M. Pila who was sent to Siam on a special mission to sign the new Franco-Siamese agreement con- cerning Indo-China.

Le Matin says of this agreement that advices received from Indo-Chinu state that the French colonists welcome the agreement for they feel quite easy in their activity. It emphasizes the wisdom of the Siamese administration and the substantial services it has done and will render to its Indo-Chinese neighbour.-Faras.

GERMAN MORPHINE SMUGGLERS...

Ottowa. November 6.

The seizure at Vancouver of $100,000 worth of morphine con- tained in trunks from Germany and labelled for Japan is expected to result in the arrest of a number of German smugglers and the exposure of a scheme for smuggling morphine into Canada from Japan. Oficials of the Department of Health believe the drugs were shipped from Germany via Quebec to Japan and smuggled back from Japan.-Reuter's American Service. -

HEAD-'PHONE AERIAL.

Without Wires from the Set.

The whole affair took place in such an incredibly short space of time that it was impossible for the Police to deal with the situ- ation before the worst of the ghastly business had been done.
