ited States, said the Standard Oil Company before the war claimed ; certain oil rights in Palestine which ¦ would have the effect of neutralizing the complaints against British Jwar required rights in Mesopotamia.Sir Charles said there was no question of closing the door against the [ United States to the world\u2019s potential oil fields.\u201cIf the Standard Oil Company\u2019s rights in Palestine are to be recognized\u2014and there is no indication of any desire to abandon them\u2014the rights of other nationals other than the enemy in the late Turkish Empire, must be recognized,\u201d he declar'd.\u201cTo act in any other way would be to adopt a policy of the \u201cclosed door\u201d in favor of the United States against Britis hand other national Interests.\u201cNobody can reasonably object to United States producers claiming a ! fair share of the world\u2019s oil supplies, ; but every other country in the world is entitled to object to their demanding a permanent eighty or eighty-five per cent of the world\u2019s supply, and to resent most strongly their op position to Great Britain and other countries securing their fair share of these supplies.\u201cTo bring forward a mandatory principle in support of monopoly and confiscation of acquired rights would be a traversity on all that mandatory principles means, and the principles which, through the Lea-igue of Nations, the rest of the j world is trying to establish.\u201d I The London Times, discussing the address, says the remarks of Sir Charles Greenway are important, because they may be taken as express-ling the British official view of the ;

NEWS OF INTEREST Liquor Rerefendum Being Talked of Again\u2014Other General News of Interest.MAGOG, Que., Dec.23.\u2014 The Magog High School closed this afternoon for the Christmas holidays.It will reopen again for the winter session on Monday, January 10th.The Sunday schools representing the St.Luke\u2019s, Adventist and Methodist churches will hold their Christinas festivities on Christmas Eve.One of the welcome news items cf the week was the cancelling of the luxury tax by the federal authori-tfes.This tax was not exceptionally severe, but was a decided nuisance ever since its attempted enforcement.The law was continually being changed, making its application very difficult.In addition, it afforded opportunity for shady work on the part of those who wished to do so, thus placing a handicap on honesty.Coming'' also as it did just at the commencement of the Christmas rush, it will probably help in no small degree to break the buying strike which the Canadian public generally seems to have been indulging in during the past two or three weeks.There is apparently, judging from humors, a movement on foot to endeavor to have the county of Stan-stead put in the wet column once again.In the year 1914 a vote was held in this county with the result that the county went dry by a majority of approximately four hundred majority.The enforcement of this was delayed to some extent by its legality having been the cause of fk law case.The prohibition forces finally won out, and as a result Stanstead county has since that time been dry.Now it appears that an effortwill be made to have the county return to Its former state.Mr.E.Auger, of Montreal, is spending a few days with his parents, Mayor and Mrs.A.A.A\"\" The members of Lake Magog Lodge, A.F.& A.M., will hold

Mrs.J.Bice, was-Jtom in Cherry River, Que., July 18th, 1877.She was a young lady when she came to Cole-brook to work, where, after four years she married Mr.William N.Stevens, who is a carpenter.She has a mother, three sisters and one brother left to mourn her loss, and a sorrow - stricken husband.Mrs.Stevens had been a woman generally liked because* of her cheerful and kindly disposition.She was a good neighbor, always willing to help in every way she could.She was a true helpmate to her husband, and no wife could be more faithful than she.She had not been very well for two months past, and gradually grew worse, and it was thought best to have an operation, from which she recovered, but nevertheless gradually failed, so that the only thing that could be done was to make her as comfortable as possible until she passed away on Wednesday evening, December 8th.She was conscious »\u2018i until the last, and was just as cheer- Eastern Star for about fifteen years and had filled the office chair of Ruth, and was thus a very valued and honored sister.She was also a member of the Grange, so that Cole-brook has lost one of its best women.The funeral services were held from ful apd happy as ever.Deceased was a member of the M.E.Church for the past sixteen years, being a faithful and loyal member, always ready to do her part in any work that was to be done.She was also a mem her of the Eureka Chapter of the the home at which they were mar- ried, and had lived together for twenty-one years.The Rev.William B.Locke, a former pastor, of Lancaster, conducted the service and spoke words of comfort and consolation to the sorrowing relatives.Mrs.Twombly sang very feelingly \u201cAbide With Me.\u201d The Eureka Chapter at- tended in a body, the home being) filled with the

to proceed overseas to maintain the high meals to which Canada had pledged herself, we gave cur solemn promise to look after their family interests while they were away.TVe succeeded to a certain extent, but our assistance represents an infinitesimal proportion of our contracted debt and it is extremely appropriate that, in the midst of our holiday greetings, we should give a thought to the father-fess children of those Urave soldiers ¦who lie buried in the fields of Flanders and other scenes of desperate struggles.\t»\t.Sherbrooke can rre:; bxiotq to t>e proud of the record of her own boys, hut gratitude expressed in a material way is the best form of proving her sincerity.From time to time the noble self-sacrifice of our soldiers is eloquently brought to the attention of the public, but can_we realize the pangs of emotion to which the widow is constantly subjected, when together with her children, seated at the dinner table, she is for ever painfully aware of the 'Vacant ehair.\u2019\u2019 Within the course of the next few days we will be exchanging greet-tngs with many dear friends, we wi.i no doubt be giving and receiving numerous Christmas presents, but what about the children of those who gave us the biggest present of all?Though we can never expect to reciprocate on the same sacred basis, we should and we must, graciously \u2022nd generously give our full moral Bnd financial support for the protection and honorable upkeep of the wtdows and children of the bravest of the brave.The response to the local appeal for funds to provide a real Christmas treat for the children of soldiers is very encouraging, but in measuring out the extent of our do-jranon let us bear in mind that the fathers of these children, in many cases, paid the supreme penalty.This was the amount of their sacrifice for us, surely there can be no limit to the slight financial inconvenience it might cause us.Let us give freely, confronted with the knowledge that we are attempting to liquidate a perpetual debt.LLOYD GEORGE\u2019S EMIGRATION SCHEME.The proposal for the relief of unemployment out-ined by Premier Lloyd George, in the House of Commons, is one of extreme magnitude, and one likely to be subject to intricacies of a very delicate nature.In resorting to emigration within the Empire, serious consideration will have to be given to the industrial conditions prevailing in the districts towards which it is intended to direct the people who are to be bene-fitted under this scheme.Here in Canada unemployment has increased steadily within the past few months and it appears to be a most inopportune moment to consider providing work for thousands of emi-j grants when we have our own un-1 employment question continually inj discussion before the Federal and j Provincial Governments.Charity be- j gins at home and our first respon-1 eibility lies in relieving the condi- i Mans of our present unemployed.It is interesting in this connection, to note that the United States are adopting stringent measures for minimizing, if not totally abolishing, the influx cf emigrants.Conditions in the spring may warrant an attempt being made along the Unes proposed by the Premior, but the Immediate necessity of providing Work for the unemployed, during the \u2022sinter, etHl remains very acute and other measures will have to be ««krpted, .- ¦ ?¦¦ *\td* *> *

63rd, which is no longer on the active list.The oniy means of revenue within their reach is the Government allowance per capita for annual training, which is not paid until after the training :* completed, and the pay of the officers, ' very cent of which goes into the Regimental Fund- No allowance is made for organization expenses, recruiting or advertising, so that it is easy to ;ee the
