Carnarvon, assisted by Howard | Carter, a well known archaeologist.; For nearly sixteen years Lord Carnarvon and Mr.Carter have been | carrying out excavations on the site of the ancient Thebes, on the | west bank of the Nils, at Luxor, in the Valley of the Kings, and the | succesful result of thelr long and careful search has been rested | with a chorus of congratulations.| The daily newspapers ha .given some information on the wonderful discovery of Pharaoh's tomb, but the press generally has not gone into the matter with the, wealth of detail given by the Cairo correspondent of the London | Times, Describing the find of the explorers the Times correspondent mys: First they saw three magnificent ' State couches, all glit, with exqul- site carving, and animal heads of Typhon, Hathor, and lon on these rested beds, beautifully carved, gilt, inlaid with ivory and semi-precious stones, and also Innumerable boxes of exquisite workmanship, One of these boxes was Inlaid with gilt inscriptions, another contained emblems of the underworld; on a third which contained handsomely embroidered Royal robes, precious stones and golden sandals were beautifully, panted hunting scenes.Beneath one of the couches was the Btate Throne of King Tutankhamen, probably one of the most beautiful objects of art ever discovered There was also a heavily gilt chair, with portraits of the King and Queen, the whole encrusted with tur- quose, cornelias lapis, and other semi-precious stonss, Two life-sized bitumenized statues of the King, with gold work, holding a golden stick and mace, faced each other, the handsome.features, the feet and the hands delicately carved, with eyes of glass and headdr richly studded with gems.There were also four chariots.the sides of which were sncrusted with semiprecious stones and rich gold decera- tonh Thess were diemantiod, with a charioteer\u2019s apron of ieopard's skin hanging over the seat.Other noteworthy objects were Royal sticks

placed his foot on the neek of the Asiatic prisoners taken in war.There wers some quaint bronze-gilt musical instruments and a robing dummy for Royal wigs and robes.There were enormous quantities of

of information about the life and times of King Tutankhamen.One of the excavated chambers re-: vealed an indescribable state of con fusion.Here furniture, gold beds, exquisite boxes, and alabaster vases, | similar to those found In the first chamber, were piled high.one on| top of another, so closely packed that | it was impossible to get inside at the time of the discovery.Numbers of these treasures are still in a very good state of preservation, but others are in a somewhat precarious condt- | tion, It is hoped, however, that most of them can be preserved, | There seems no doubt that this wonderful collection of objects formed part-of the funeral paraphernalia of King Tutankhamen, and that they were removed from the tomba where they were originally placed, and in\u2019 order to preserve them from thieves were transferred for safety to these | chambers.| The sealing and blocking of the: doors and passages which have so far heen opened suggest that metal rob- hers had attacked these chambers, | and that inspectors of Rameses 1X.| had reason to enter to reclose them.\u2019 Whatever the chambers may have contained originally.their contents, today are sufficient cause for senna- tion in the Egyptological world, They considerably increase the world's knowledge of Ancient Egyptlan history and art, and experts consider that the discovery will probably rank as the most important of modern times.What adda Interest to this discov ery is that thers in still a third cham.her which, significantly.the two figures of the King which have been Alscovered, are guarding.Uniil

Conference At Lausanne By Ismet Pasha Lausanne, Jan.T\u2014Pesce or war wis the great issue placed squarely before the Near Eastern conference yesterday.Ismet Pasha for Turkey brought this issue concisely before the delegates when after refusing all Allled suggestions concerning special Courts for foreigners in Turkey, he declared solemnly: \u2014 \u201cGentlemen, the key te peace îles in your hands\".Lord Curzon, accepting the challenge, retorted: \u2014\"It Peace lis to come at Lausanne, it is essential that of foreign tribunals be arrived at, and he added significantly: \u2014\"We hope that time will soften the Turkish attitude and that Turkey will not maintain her position of today\".The discussion took place before the full Commission on Capitulations, which adjourned without reaching any accord on the most vital question on the Lausanne agenda and without Axing a date for the next meeting.The debate on capitulations was dignified throughout and marked by no evidence of ill-freling In this respect it differed greatly from the morning session which took up the problem of providing a national home for the Armenians.\u201c Angry at the Allies attempt even to bring the Armenian question Into the official discussion, Riza Nur Bey, the Second Turkish Delegate, delivered a short but violent atta.k on the Allies, then brusquely marched out of the meeting hall.In consequence of this Lord Curson.M.Barrere and Marquis di Garronl forwarded a strong letter of protest to Ismet Pasha, requesting the Head of the Turkish delegation to write some explanation of his colleague\u2019s conduct.Riza8Nur Bey, who usually says the caustic things for the Turks when the Turks be- tieve they must be said, was not daunted by the Allied protest, but appeared smiling and gracious at the afternoon mesting when the fateful problem of capitulations was discussed.The unfortunate incident of the morning, which followed the Allies: request that Turkey give her attention, from the humanitarian point of view, te the question of providing ® national home for the Armenians, produced & bad impression.ANOTHER RESIGNATION FROM CANADA COLONIZATION ASS'N.Brandon,

in the conflice continue to flow in le Ottawa lu surprisingly large numbers.A survey of the adjustment work undertaken by National Headquarters of the Grea; War Veterans\u2019 Association during 1922 uhows that more than 34.000 Individual claims were dealt with, of which the high average of | 87 percent vere satisfactorily adjusted.The cinime covered every conceivable phase of war activity, both, with Government departments, private fira and fo.| étviduais.They ranged from the routine claims for, pay balances, pensivis, treatment, etc, to one veteran's claim for damages because of the loss of

the yoar in the raw material market was the shortage of conl, resulting from the protract- od utrike in the United States, and the delay in doliv- erles uconsioncd by the railway strike, Canadian manufacturers do not appéer to have suffered seri.ouxly from either condition.though there is no doubt that considerable inconvenlence was caused and ad: uormsl prices wore paid for coal.During the winter of 1920 and throughout the year ot 1031, many thousands of industrial workers were ont of cemployment, because other countries, under aoing tmde depression, dumped immense quantities of goods, regardicss of production cost, into Cauada.As conditions Improved in these countries, dumping began to diminish, and employment in Canads simul.tancously increased.More people were taken on the | factory pay rolls, and dering the last half of the year the unemployment Situation improved greatly, although dumping in certain lines la still going on and causing unemployment of the workers engaged in these industries, The reports indicate that on the whole wage scales remain practically unchanged from 1831.As re- gars the cfficteney of labor, manufacturers are als net a unit in reporting

some indus tric say that orders have beem insufficient to permit of cconomieat operation of planta.It Is also the case that the practice on the part of merchants of buying only in small lots and for
