From Our Own Correspondent, Vancouver, Jan. 27.
A scene on board a trans-Pacific liner to the Orient between Miss Beatrice Hebert, aged 29, of Toronto, and William Zinser, a Philadelphia business man, is related among the further details arriving here of the chase, half way round the world, of the determined lady seeking to be near the man with whom she said she was madly in love. In Philadelphia police court she was charged with breach of the peace and disorderly conduct, and, during the evidence, a police surgeon declared that Miss Hebert was perfectly sane—''that is, if anyone deeply in love can be called sane." According to the surgeon she "is simply a determined yamp—determined to capture and win this man.'"
Zinser, who is about 25 years old, told' the magistrate that when, Jast March, he was conducting a party of tourists to Japan and China, he-was annoyed on the liner by Mis§ Hebert, who so pressed her attentions on him that he had to move his seat at the table and also change his stateroom. On his arrival in Japan he thought he was rid of the ardent wooer, but when Hongkong was reached she turned up again. On the return trip to Honolulu, he said, Miss Hebert was discovered as a stowaway on his ship. The captain turned her over to the authorities in Honolulu and it was understood she was to be sent back to her home in Canada. Nothing more was heard by Zinser of the woman until last September when she returned to Philadelphia, with the result that she was arrested and deported to Canada.
Questioned by the magistrate, before he ordered her deportation, as to how she entered the United States from Canada after first be-jing deported. Miss Hebert answered: "Easy enough. IT came by airplane. It cost me $100 but it was well worth ten times that price to the near my loved one. I_ would like to get bail and go back to Canada on my own money—but will get my sweetheart yet."

Mr. Simms is of the type of American journalist that Canadian journalists respected during the war, for he gave full credit to Britain's part in the gigantic conflict. Speaking of conditions the political arena to-day, Mr. Simms said here: ''Anti-British talk in the United States is pro-
