ARRESTED ON CHARGE
OF THEFT IX   1010
EDMONTON, Jan. 12��Seldom thus Edmonton been bo stirred as by tlu< arrest of George S. Armstrong, postmaHte.r, and former mayor. Citizens in all walkB of life wero shocked i on Thursday morning when It be-[carae generally known that Arm-strung-had been taken Into custody [on a charge of stealing $50,000 from i postoffico vaults In August, 1919. | The postofflce mystery had been accepted by the public as one that would never bo solved. There were hmiH now and  then that the money
to put thorn In shape for tholr matched. But three or the team have been able to work out together, and Dickinson, one of their speed artists, had to travel twenty miles to catch the train In to this city. The result was an absence of combination In their play which robbed them of a number of chances to score; Danahey, who played goal for them, In the opening game divided honors with Dickinson and Averlll. He let a lot of counters through, but he made a large percentage of neat saves anil had more than twice the work to do that fell to tho lot of Ynrzeau, who was in the net for the locals.
The local boys put up a good game quite aside from the fact that they had the stronger team. Williams was in the best form ho haa shown on the local ice and had little difficulty In eluding his opponents. Ken McKay played n strong game and registered seven of the eleven goals scored on Saturday night.   The other

The game on Sunday afternoou was much closer than the first en-countor, which Is perhaps explained by tho fact that the Vanderhoor players are hotter accustomed to daylight practicos than they aro to tM electric lights. They showed them-Helves to be good clean sports and took the short end of a 6-2 8cor< with the best of good nature, and from all accounts intend to keep th/ Vanderhoof ice warm from now ov in preparation for a return encourr"

LONDON. Jan. 13�In high political circles in Britain It 13 expected that tho French occupation of the Huhr coalfields may cause serious trouble--In..Germany of an insurrect-lve nature.
