RAIL ANECDOTES TOLD ment. 21 years later. After leaving the Bench Judge Bruneau acted as legal adviser for a number of Canadian development enterprises in Paris. As a judge of the Practice Division ot tne Superior Court in Montreal, Mr. Justice Bruneau was repeatedly in the public eye as the result of decisions he gave on marriage annulment cases which came beore him.

He always contended that the civil marriage laws of Quebec were drawn up originally the days of the French regime in Canada and could be invoked to give lay enforcement to the marriage nullifications of the authorities of the Roman Catholic Church. He was supported in this view by majorities in the higher Quebec courts, though the Privy Council rejected this interpretation and in the celebrated case of Tremblay-Despitie. 1911, ruled that no civil annulment could be enforced in cases of people of the age of consent (no matter of what religious denomination) who had been married by an officer possessed of the legal right to perform the ceremony. Mr. Justice Bruneau wrotti and published a treatise on the question of the Quebec marriage laws, which is considered a standard authority, at least in the courts of Quebec.

Born at St. Athanase March 4. 1864, Arthur Aime Bruneau was the son of the late J. J. and Marie Louise Bruneau.

He received his early education at the College of the Sacred Heart at Sorel and In the Jesuit College of Montreal Upon completion of his classical course in these institutions, he studied law at Laval University, Montreal, graduating with the degree of bachelor of law in 1889. He began the practice of law in Montreal in that year. He was made Queen's Counsel 1899. His outstanding merits as lawyer and judge were recognized in 1909 when he received the honorary degree of doctors of laws from his alma mater. PUBLISHED TWO BOOKS Mr.

Justice Bruneau, in addition to being a polished speaker, was a writer possessed of a graceful style. He published two books. "Bour-dages and His Times" and "Lafon-tame and Laurier." the latter being an analytical study of the two statesmen. He also contributed largely to the press when a young man and was associate editor of Le Patriot; a Sorel publication. He heiped to draft and was one of the subscribers to the address sent by thr Liberal Party to the Pope in 1696, which resulted in the appointment of the first papal delegate to Canada.

Mr. Justice Bruneau married first Arzelie, daughter of Professor J. B. Cloutier, Montreal, and of this marriage two sons survive, Jean-Jacques, employed with the Hudson's Bay Company, Quebec City, and Charles, an official at the City Hall. Quebec City.

His second wife, who survives him, he married in 1905. She was the daughter of W. M. Foy, of Sorel. The body will be taken to Sorel this morning and funeral service will be held Wednesday at Notre Dame Church, Sorel.

CONIBEAR DIES tions of His Majesty, King George by cable. Send in your contributions. Both the dollar of the rich and the cent of the poor is welcomed: it is one more tie between the Greek abroad and the Greek at home; it is means by which we can successfully fight the enemies of Greece and Great Britain. Greeks, help our country. FiqHT FOR DEMOCRACY.

Mr. Ganetakos said: I am proud to have the opportunity to speak to you about my people and to ask you to help them to the best of your means. Because, I believe, they deserve your help; not only because they are beating our enemy, as they are; but because they have the courage to stand up and say 'No to the thieving brigands who, by threats and bullying, try to conquer a small nation one-sixth the size, of themselves. Because they have the determination to be free or die and because, the odds were so great against them nobody thought they were in a position to withstand such a terrific onslaught; but they showed the rest of the world that where there's a will there's a vay, and I firmly believe that they will die before they give in. Just as he did the British, Hitler bombs them to Bcare them; but did he succeed? Let me tell you that Hitler and Mussolini will never conquer people like the British and the Greeks.

The Greeks came In on the side of Britain when everything looked bad. Hitler had overrun Belgium. Holland, Norway, France and Rumania; and Mussolini had Albania and was next door to Greece. When it looked to all of us as though the poor little Greek nation was doomed, the Greeks stood up and said to the bloodthirsty Mussolini: "Get out of our country or we will fight you to the end." The Greeks are the founders of democracy and they will fight to the bitter end for democracy and for freedom. With the British at their side, people with the same determination to live and to die for freedom and democracy, they will go places.

I know you will tell me this Is a bad. time to ask for help, just after the appeals of the Federated Charities, the Jewish Philanthropies and the Catholic Charities, and now with Christmas at hand. I know all that. The odds are against us, but we are not discouraged. When the Greeks entered the war, the odds were against them also 10 to 1.

Are they downhearted? No. And if you don't believe it, ask the proud Signor Mussolini and he will tell you. He knows. But the Greeks need help and Great Brilain helps them by fighting side by side with them. They realize and appreciate all that; but let us show them the people of Canada and the United States are behind them.

That will be great encouragement to them. Money is needed immediately and every dollar you are able to donate will be of greater assistance now than later. Mrs. George D. Davie, who is spending a week in Montreal, is staying at the Themis Club.

i. LACRENCE Pharmacists Montreal plete certainty that the people of Canada will rise to their opportunity and give generously that I appeal to all who hear me to contribute as largely as possible to the Greek War Relief Fund. The whole civiluzed world has acclaimed the bold decision of the-Greek Government to respond with fire and steel to the bullying language whereby, Signor Mussolini in pale imitation of his Nazi prototype sought another cheap Axis advance at the expense of a small adversary. However, Greece's conduct of the campaign is of a piece with the traditions of a brave and dignified people. I have already mentioned Thermopylae, and in the" same breath I can refer to Marathon and Sal-amis and 'the decision of the Greek Government in 1917 to join the Allied cause despite unfavorable omens and meet the threat of their independence.

A truly vigorous and great people! Faith and spirit of that calibre can move mountains. OUR DUTY TO HELP. Can there be any doubt as to our duty to support courage of this sort? It is our fortune to be, in proportion to the size of our nation, perhaps the very wealthiest of the Allied powers. Far from the actual scene of conflict we have not known what it is to see the ravages of war in our land or on our own borders; have our homes destroyed, the aged and the women and children of our people mutilated or killed. In these circumstances, the duty of Canada to come to the assistance not only of Greece as a nation, but of the heroic individuals who make the Greek people, is plain, and will, I know, be accepted by all the people of the Dominion.

The most direct measure of assistance which we in- Canada can give to the people of Greece is, at the moment, to contribute to this fund for the relief of suffering, and I urge all my hearers to give as generously as their circumstances will permit to the Greek War Relief Fund. You may rest assured that your contribution is needed, and that it will go, in the most direct fashion, to aiding the intrepid people of this small nation to fight in a struggle in which, disregarding all counsels of caution or of cowardice, they have come to the support of the cause of liberty. I hold in my hand a copy of a telegram from the secretary of the Greek Relief Fund in Canada to the secretary of His Excellency the Governor-General, which I shall now read: Montreal, November 23, 1940. Sir Shuldham Redfern, Government House, Ottawa. I beg you to be as good as to present the following communication to His Excellency, our Governor-General, the Earl of Athlone, in the hope that we might graciously receive a reply from His Majesty in time to be published with the inauguration of our Dominion-wide campaign which begins on December 2.

We beg your Excellency to be so gracious as to convev to His Majesty our King and Emperor the following message from his Canadian subjects of Greek descent In the face of the unprovoked attack upon the land of our ancestors and its valorous defence against the common aggressor, we His Majesty' loyal subjects of Greek descent living in Canada present our humble duty and, proud of the fact that Greece is the ally of the Empire, pledge all our efforts to the achievement of a glorious victory and a lasting peace. (Signed B. C. SALAMIS, Secretary, Greek War Relief Fund. 343 Dominion Squar Building, Montreal.

In reply to this expression of the loyalty of the people of Greek origin in Canada, His Exellency's secretary has returned the following telegram including a message to Canadians of Greek descent from His Majesty the King: Ottawa, November 27. 1940. B.C. Salamis. Greek War Relief Fund, 343 Dominion Square Building, Montreal.

Governor General forwards following telegram received from Buckingham Palace. Be- The King sincerely thanks he Canadians of Greek descent for their loyal assurances and appreciates their determination to fight until victory and peace have been secured. Ends. Secretary to Governor-General. In this moment when all the forces of liberty are being mobilized against brutal tyranny and oppression, let us support, as generously as we can.

the efforts and sacrifices of the small nation which stands in the very forefront of our battle, and whose sons are today adding new laurels to the age-long record of glorious heroism which is the history of Greece. TSEREPIS MAKES PLEA. Mr. Tserepis said: Dear Fellow-Countrymen, Each and every one of us is following with pride and anxiety the glorious victories which our Evzones are achieving in the mountains of Albania, where the Greek army, living up to its traditions, is writing new glorious pages to its history. It was impossible for Greece to yield territory which its army had bravely liberated.

Today our country is fighting at the side of Great Britain for its liberty, for the liberty of Europe and it is no exaggeration to say for the liberty of the entire world. The contribution of Greece to the war is of prime importance and today she is waging her hardest "battle against an unscrupulous enemy hu bombs open cities and villages, killing civilian Dopulations. The entire Greek world, in spirit and soul, is by the side of our warring brethren. I want every Greek, no matter how distant from the Motherland, to become one body with our brethren in the Motherland. Today to wage war involves immense sums of money.

Money is the life blood of warfare and our country lacks the means with which to meet the difficulties it is facing.
