[" A) D ifr.MU * FIFTY - SEVENTH YEAR SHOWING THE WAY The British dirigible R-34 accomplished the flight across the Atlantic ocean in 108 hours\u2014four days and a half.in the venture was never doubted by the erew and the promoters, and to the everyday individual the only question was that of time.Lieut.-Commander Reid's seaplane voyage to Europe by way of the Azores showed that the trip from Success continent to continent was quite feasible with favorable weather conditions, and Alcock and Brown's aeroplane flight \u201cffôim NewToundlatid ta Ireland proved that the ocean could be crossed in less than a day.To the R-34 belongs the honor of the first flight from Europe to America.The great balloon is a lighter-than-air craft and as such was subject to delays by the vagaries of the weather.The distance flown was 5,634 miles.A direct, uninterrupted flight from East Fortune, Scotland, to the landing place at Mineola, L.I, would have been half that distance.The R-3+ carried more than a score of persons.Flying machines of its type are safe craft, if slower than the heavier-than- air machines.The flight that ended Sunday morning demonstrates that air craft are suitable for commercial and tourist purposes.Scheduled voyages are assuredly things of the near future.If the R-34 can do 5,634 miles in four days and a half, she should, with favorable weather and other conditions, be capable of making a direct Atlantic flight in at least three Her return trip may be much | days.n shorter than her great pioneer flight.\u2014Montreal Gazette.Flesherton, Ont., July 4\u2014A really remarkable instance of the mother in- stinet in birds, vouched for by several observers, had its beginning and end at the C.P.R.station here.Robins built a nest in a freight car which stood on the side track for some days, and the mother robin laid her eggs therein.When the car was moved the railway men noted that the bird per- pistently followed it, and on every opportunity visited the nest.The number of the car was noted, and railway men passed on the story.After some time the car was returned here, and the young came forth at their home station.\\ Toronto, July 6.\u2014The police raided a colored men's club late tonight at 51 Simcoe street, and arrested inmates on charges of gambling on the Lord's Day.Among those caught was a former soldier with artificial hands and legs, who handled the cards with ease.The police let him go.Berlin, July 5.\u2014Prince Eitel Frederick, of Prussia, second son of the former German Emperor, has sent the following telegram to King George: To His Majetsy the King of Great Britain and Ireland: In fulfilment of the natural duty of a son and officer, I, with my four younger brothers, place myself at Your Majesty's disposal, in place of my imperial father, in the event of his extradition, in order by our sacrifice to spare him such degradation.Florence, Italy, July 5.\u2014One person was killed and seven were injured late today in a renewal of yesterday's rioting over the high cost of living.There has been much firing by the carbineers detailed to keep order.Mobs again have become violent and the ransacking of shops has been resumed.All workers are idle under a general strike order.During the day goods of all kinds have been distributed to the people, under the supervis- jon of the mayor and the military command.All commodities have been reduced from 50 to 70 per cent.The red flag has been hoisted in many places, here and elsewhere, in the Romagna district, by what are termed local Soviets.{ Rome, July 6.\u2014Shop-keepers here, learning that the riots throughout the Romagna district were spreading to other cities, decided todey to reduce their prices to fifty per cent.without waiting to be forced to that course by mab violence.THURSDAY JULY 10th, 1919 TEETH AND HEALTH Dentists Are Awakening to the Call of the Child.(Reproduced, with the approval of the Oral Hygiene committee of the College of Dental Surgeons of the Province of Quebec, from an article by Dr.Edwin F.Bowers.) There is more truth than humor in the cheap pun that says \u201cone can be what one chews.\u201d We used to esteemv the teeth more as adjuncts to a pleasant smile than as practical aids to long life.We regretted their loss more because of the conspicuous cavity their absence developed than be- \u201ccause, we-beliéved them 1o- be valuable in preserving health and happiness.We are now realizing the tyranny of teeth, especially bad teeth.We are learning the painful lesson that to spare the brush spoils the teeth and sometimes the child who owns them.All over the country medical men and dentists are co-operating in perhaps the most important task of conservation in the world; they are awakening to the call of the child.: Science is now emphasizing the ; importance of teeth in preparing food for digestion.It is also calling at- -tention to the very intimate connection between decayed teeth and a large number of diseases that apparently have nothing to do with teeth.A little reflection serves to show that improperly masticated food due to bad teeth, or lack of teeth is a primary cause of malnutrition, resulting in anemia, neurasthenia, and the entire pernicious host of symptoms that follow chronic indigestion and autoin- toxication from intestinal absorption.Almost every germ of a gencral infectious nature can be found in the cracks and crannies of hollow teeth waiting and watching for a favorable opportunity to jump out and pounce upon the insufficiently protected or fatigue-weakened organism, Measles, chickenpox, whooping cough, mumps, scarlet fever, diphtheria, influenza and smallpox have bred in the fertile soil of decayed and neglected teeth, and have manifested their presence by .starting the particular kind of trouble for which evolution has designed them.i So great an authority as Dr.Osler, one of the world's most competent, medical men, declares without reservation that more diseases are brought about by neglected and decayed teeth than by excessive indulgence in alcoholic liquors, and that there is not one single thing more important to the public in the whole range of hygiene of the mouth.No regular family investment will have the economic importance, or earn more in the way of physical and mental dividends, than prompt and efficient dental care.Only in the rarest instances are poor teeth inherited.In fact, we are coming to the conclusion that Nature, unless there be a distinct serofulous taint, creates all children free and equal, physically speaking; so bad teeth signify neglect, bad habits, uncleanliness, ignorance and carelessness.| It is asserted that forty per cent.of all absences from school attendance are brought about because little Johnny or Susie has a previous engagement with a toothache.This is very interesting, as it touches us in our most vulnerable spot, our pocket- hook.Taking New York city as an example, 67,000 children fail in promotion to higher grades each year owing to deficient scholarship, blamable to compulsory absence from the class-rooms.So 26,800 of them are kept from school on account of pain or ulceration in their teeth.To teach the young idea how to shoot, costs thirty-six dollars a year a youngster; so that when these children have to duplicate a year\u2019s work we lose a million dollars.The loss of that sum causes mental suffering to the parents who have to earn it; but the greatest sufferer is the child himself, who not only has to bear the pain, but becomes apath-, etic and discouraged at his lack of progress, and scizes the first excuse for leaving school and swelling the ranks of unskilled workers.S we sell this furnace it is a guaranteed heating system.When installation is planned by our engineers, we deliver exactly what you want\u2014 Comfort in your home.If you are going to install a furnace, let McClary's engineers show you how Ask about the LITTLE DRAFT- MAN that tums on the drafts and regulates them automatically, \u2018 from infancy to old age.Sunshine it should be done.They have seventy years of experience to guide them, and their services cost you nothing.Between the sixth and twelfth years, those golden years of satchel and shining, morning face, the teeth are most helpless and dependent.During this period the first teeth are lost\u2014their loss being accompanied by considerable decay\u2014the permanent teeth meanwhile coming in, Tooth nutrition is interfered with by the pressure of the second tooth pushing upward.In addition to all this misery the poisonous germs from diseased teeth lower the child's vitality, making him more susceptible to infectious diseases.This is one of the chief reasons why the children of the poor succumb more rapidly to these dis-' orders than do the children of wealthier families.The poorer parents have no knowledge of dental prophylaxis, nor money to pay for the same if they had.Consequently disease germs find ready entrance into these unclean mouths, apd establish most favorable grounds for growth and propagation.The first of the permanent teeth, the sixth-year molar, is by far the most important tooth we have, or have had; for when it is lost nature, in her bungling way, makes a determined effort to close space by foreshortening the jaw.This throws the entire articulation \u201cout of joint.\u201d and is the chief cause of irregularities in the other and later teeth.If these sixth-year molars were preserved, few children would ever develop \u201cbird\u201d or \u201cTox\u201d faces, or become mouth breathers.One of the most common and stubborn diseases of the teeth\u2014although found more frequently in adults than in children, is Rigg's disease.This usually begins as a simple inflammation round the necks of the teeth at the gum margins, and gradually but steadily progresses to the jawbone itself.Tt is accompanied by the formation of pus and final loosening of the teeth in their sockets, or their eventual loss.Preventive dentistry has added not only to the length of life, but also to its breadth and depth, measured in terms of efficiency and happiness, it will be remembered, Schopenhauer defines as freedom from pain.Scientific dentists all over the world now believe that at least 80 per cent.of all dental troubles can be prevented by properly caring for the teeth The day is rapidly approaching when a toothless, snaggle-jawed individual, with a prominent breath or a lump on his face that resembles the rear elevation of a billiard ball, will he arrested on sight by the medical police, and rushed post haste to a dental clinic, there to be detained until he is once more fit to be at large among his fel- low-men.This is only fair to himself and to the society he infests.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 WORK Work is God's greatest blessing to Until you have learned to look upon your work, not as a curse, not as drudgery.not as a treadmill which you are compelled to turn laboriously every day, you cannui be really happy, man.you are missing the hest that is in life.No honest work need be drudgery, whether it be sweeping streets, making collars, or painting

Mr.Lloyd George, delivered the House of Commons this afternoon an explanation of the peace treaty, which he described ns \u201cthe most momentous document to which the British Empire ever affixed its seal.Though showing the effects of his long labors at Paris and lacking his usual fire, the Premier at times made impassioned utterances, and was loudly cheered.His announcement that the former German Emperor would soon be placed on trial before a tribunal sitting in London was cheered most of all, while his presentation of the Anglo-French convention, providing for British aid if Germany should attack France unprovok- ed\u2014a convention analogous to one between the United States and France\u2014 was greeted with unrefrained applause I do not think anyone can claim that the terms imposed constitute injustice to Germany, unless they believe justice in the war was on the Germany.Having regard to the uses Germany made of her army, there is no injustice in scattering and disarming it.If the Allies had restored her colonies to Germany after the evidence of ill-treatment of the natives, and the part the natives have taken in their own liberation, it would have been a base betrayal.Then take the trial of those responsible for the war.If wars of this kind are to be prevented, those personally responsible for them, who have taken part in plotting and planning them, should he held personally responsible.Therefore the Entente decided that the man who undoubtedly had the primary responsibility, should be tried for the offences he committed in breaking treaties that he was hound to honor and by that means bringing on the war.It was an exceptional course, and it is a pity it was, because if it had been done before there would have been fewer wars.The Allied countries unanimously decided that a tribunal\u2014an inter-allied one\u2014should sit at London for the trial of the person chiefly responsible for the war.Those guilty of submarine outrages ought to be punished, for their officers knew they would he held personally responsible for offences against the laws of war.EE \u2014 mr Feed Cane Mola Every Day; Make Healthy Pigs \u2014 Keep Sickness Away.in

Huntingdon, Que., July 10th, 1919 , Notes of the Week The session of parliament ended on Monday.A vast amount of business was transacted during the 5 mos.it lasted.and a great deal more could have been done were it not for the propensity of so many members to talk.The government grew stronger as the session continued, owing more to the imbecile course of the Opposition than that their proposals were not open to serious criticism.The overhanging cloud of increased debt.and the certainty that heavy taxation will have to be imposed to meet interest on it.has the tendency to subdue party feeling.not for strife.cover engagements, the last act of the members was to vote one hundred and sixty-two million dollars, making in all 700 millions granted, was enough to make even careless men consider whither Canada is drifting.Those who favor reviving the party lines that existed before the war are not patriots.The question before the electors is not, whether they are going to again ranged as Liberals or Conservatives, but how the ship of State is going to be steered clear of financial rocks.ee All the speeches delivered in favor of free trade have not influenced public opinion in its favor as much as the evidence extorted from manufacturers by the committee on the high cost of living The revelations as to how they manipulate their books to conceal the amount of profit on their capital were amazing, even more so than their admissions as to charging for what they make from 25 to 100 per cent.more than cost.It is useless to say the duty does not increase cost of clothing when a tailor swore he paid 40 per cent.to the custom house on cloth he bought in the States The evidence taken about the Paton mills is enough in itself to justify, at least a tariff for revenue.Sir Thomas White evidently intends getting at the profiteers by a special tax on their undue gains.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The British steamship was plowing her way on a trading voy age, when a submarine popped up to fire a torpedo at her.With great presence of mind, her captain, stesre the ship directly at the German to run her down, which certainly would kave been her fate had she not pramnp- tly dived.Captain Fryatt saved his ship ard all on Lead.The command- uv of the subd: .ne reported to haadi- quartrrs the verduct of Fryatt, contending his trying to sink him was an act of war unfitting a merchant ship and therefore he was liable to punishment.Being on the lookout for him, a submarine sighted his ship and the captain made prisoner.He was taken before a court-martial at Bruges and sentenced to be shot for trying to sink 8 German submarine.His body has been exhumed, taken to England, given a state funeral in St.Paul's Cathedral, and buried with fitting tributes.For doing what any brave sailor would do to save his ship and comrades Fryatt died.Co \u2014 Airships which do not depend on wings for floating in the air are called dirigibles.They have a large bag filled with hydrogen, the lightest gas available, which holds up the car beneath, containing crew and machinery.To carry much weight the gasbag or balloon, has to be of immense size.The British admiralty last year ordered the largest dirigible so far planned, the bag being 640 feet long.It was designed to carry a crew to bomb Berlin.The big craft was unfinished when the armistice rendered it unnecessary.The government, always experimenting with the navigation of the air, considered she would be useful in testing crossing the Atlantic.After various trial trips, which were satisfactory, she started from her shed at East Fortune, a place between the Firth of Forth and the Clyde, on the 2nd July and steered straight for New York.From the time she left Scotland to her arrival on Long Island, she had unfavorable weather, fog and head winds.What troubled her most was thunderstorms, electricity being developed unpleasantly in the huge bag.The rate of travel varied from 33 to 100 miles an hour.Thick clouds hid the Atlantic, of which only occasional glimpses were had.On the bay .of Fundy a violent gale was encountered which tried the nerves of her erew, who numbered thirty.On Sunday she was over the landing place that had been prepared on Long Island near New York city.The landing was made without difficulty.The distance traversed was 3600 miles, which was done in 108 hours, four and a half days.She started from Scotland with 15 tons of gasolene, and had only enough to carry her 90 miles farther.The experience gained was not quite favorable for air navigation, storms and fogs on the Atlantic making it extremely risky.Improvements in the shape and equipment of airboats were suggested.Today the dirigible started on her return voyage, sailing over the city of New York and then steering for England taking the Southern route.The chief complaint of her crew was they were not allowed to smoke and were too nervous to sleep right.; ' Monarch, | It is time for

they had need of, why ask also for shorter hours?We read of strikes for from 40 to 355 cents an hour, and the demand is invariably coupled for a 41 or 48 hour week.The pretence of increased cost of living seems to be a cloak for laziness.Excepting those engaged in mines, roll- ing-mills, or the like, the demand for an 8-hour day bespeaks love of idleness.\u2018The éxtreme is reached by strikers on the Pacific coast who are asking for a 6-hour day at à dollar an hour.ER A.Reports from Germany are favorable.There appears to be a general disposition to make the best of the peace terms.The

and 238,000 Canadians.In Germany and England there are those who protest against a trial for the Kaiser, and we may also expect to hear from the United States.That the junkers and jingoes should wish to save their friend and confederate is natural, but that Englishmen should fear to make him a martyr is difficult to understand.He is accused of being the leader who brought about the Hell and misery of a war.In justice to himself, to the German publie.and to humanity he and his confederates must be tried and the punishment must suit their crime.~\u2014\u2014\u2014 West of Sault Ste.Marie,

divorce courts.In Rome and Florence riots have occurred against the high cost of living, mobs sacked shops and the police were compelled to use fire-arms to restore order.er On July 2nd the British super- dirigible R-34 left her moorings at East Fortune, Scotland.and after a successful trip landed at Mineola, N.Y.on the 6th.The last day of the voyage was very trying, owing to head winds, fog and electric storms, so that in order to play safe, an American destroyer followed her down the coast.at any time ready to take her in tow.She, however, reached her destination and landed without mishap.The R-31 was built in a little village near (Glasgow.Her length is 610 feet and her height 79 feet, very nearly the same size as the ocean liner Adriatic.She carries two million feet of cubic gas, five Sunbeam engines which develop 1000 horse power, 8000 gallons of gasolene and will lift 59 tons.She averages about 70 miles an hour, and brought with her a cargo of thirty flying men and mechanics.This is the first of these monster craft to land in America and it is safe to predict that very soon a gas which has a much greater lifting power will be made in sufficient quantities to be

which spread to the stable and shed of Mrs Wm.Anderson.The neighbors were active, but with buckets could do no more than save Mrs Anderson's house, and quench, embers that, borne by the wind, fell on other houses.In the course of an hour the buildings in which the fire started were burned to the ground.No animals were lost; the doctor's horse was got out just in time.Besides his stable , the

Rockburn, Que.July 9th, 1919 DOS \u2014Sunday was set apart by the hang Es thanksgiving for peace.In St.Jubn\u2019s church it so happened Bishop l\u2018arthing was present to receive a confirmation class and added emphasis | ; ; to a solemn service.In his address ha said there was danger in people forgetting what they had come through | and of reverting to habits of carelessness and extravagance, He feared the lessons taught by the war of sacrifice and economy were being abandoned.The same spirit of union and cooperation which had carried us thru the dark days of the war was needed a8 much as «ver in settling the per- \"plexing questions that were before us.It was a common remark that the church hud failed in doing its duty in the national crisis.That it had not done all it might have done he admitted, but on whom did the failure mainly lie?What was the church?Did it consist solely of the clergy?Was not the church composed of all the ; men and women who called them- | elves Christians?If the church | failed, are the great body of people who make up the church not accountable?There was an unparal- (led thirst for making money, it had \u2018come to be looked upon as the chief end of life, and was leading to extor- ; tion and jobbery of a nature unheard cof if the past.The reports of the proceedings in parliament and of the i evidence taken before commissions | bore this out.Thus one witness, manager of a large commercial cstab- t i lishment, acknowledged in his evi- rdence of fleecing the public by unwarranted high prices, on being asked if he could justify it, replied his corporation was not run for the glory of God but to make dividends for its shareholders, and his blasphemy evoked a laugh! One class was preying on another and labor was no better when it endeavored to extort its demands by coercion.Society was permeated by a spirit of selfishness which ignored truthfulness and justice.What was the remedy?A deeper \u2018sense of doing what is just and honorable, in a word, being governed by the teaching of Christ.A man might be orthodox in his belief, he might ob- { serve all the requirements of his , chureh, but if he went out on Monday | to defraud his neighbor in prices or deceive him by untruthfulness in buying or selling he was no Christian.The times demanded higher standards than those in practice and that standard was nothing short of a daily striving to imitate Christ in all we do and say.He solemnly charged the members of the confirmation class, which consisted of 5 girls and 12 young men, not to think making money their chief end but to attain the stature required of professed followers of Christ.To be a Christman or a Christwoman meant daily striving to live the life of Christ.The congregation, which filled the pews, wan deeply impressed hy the earnestness and plainness of speech of the bishop.t | | I \u2014The Oddfellows of Excelsior lodge and other visiting brethren paraded to the cemetery on Sunday afternoon to decorate the graves of deceased members.It was the largest procession of Oddfellows which has ever paid tribute on decoration Sunday, there being over a hundred SN nr the band.Rev.J.I}.Maclean côn- ducted the service at the cemetery, where a large number of friends had gathered, \u2014Preparations for the new Merchants\u2019 hank are going ahead rapidly.\u2014A number visited Fort Covington on their national holiday, the fourth of July.The Huntingdon Jazz band furnished music at the dance in the evening, It was well attended and but for the heat all had a good time.\u2014Friday was the have had this summer.\u2014The largest shipment of Ayrshires which has left this district was loaded this week.Mr E.PP.McFarlane of San Mateo, California, heing the purchaser, in all he took away over one hundred head.It speaks wel) for the district that a breeder would come 80 far to purchase pure-breds.He reports that almost all the purebred Ayrshire cattle in California have been taken from the Province off Quebec.\u2014E C, McCoy and Charles F.Hyde were re-elected school commissioners for the village.\u2014Rev, Thos Hutchinson conducted the preparatory service in St Andrew's on Friday.\u2014Within six weeks there have heen three fires in the district caused by sparks falling on roofs, Had the roofs been covered with metal a loss of at least $4000 would have been avoided.\u2014The following soldiers have returned: John McCrow, 42nd;

Buenos Aires Soviet South America also contributes its tale of labor unrest.appeared continent, but its most serious manifestations have arrived at Buenos Aires, the capital of the Argentine Republic.£ver since last January, Buenos Aires, which in the New York of Argentina, has been crippled by a lezgshoreman's strike.This strike was the signal for an avowedly revolutionary movement, a \u201cSoviet government of Argentina\u201d being proclaim ed by the social revolutionary elements.À general strike was simultaneously proclaimed throughout the Republic und destructive rioting occurred in Buenos Aires and other Argentine cities.The disturbances were Such unrest has at several points on that finally suppressed, thanks to the vigor ! of General Dellepaine and the loyalty | of the Argentine army.The revolu- .tionists were arrested wholesale, many being killed in the rioting, and about 13,000 were deported.This movement was apparently confined mainly to the foreign population.The foreign element in Argentina is.: however, very large, immigration into | the Republic having been heavy for » many years.Buenos Aires is almost \"as polyglot as New York.The arrest- edd Soviet supporters are overwhelmingly of fordgn extraction, mostly Russitn and Spaniards, the Soviet \u201cPresident\u201d (killed in the fighting) being a Russian named Wald, Only | about 20 per cent.of the prisoners | proved to be genuine Argentinos.There is clear evidence that the out- | break was abetted and financed by Neviet Russia, Although order has heen restored in Argentina, the port strike has not yet been settled and Soviet propaganda is known to be going on, A convention of Socialists from al! over Latin i America has been scheduled to meet in Buenos Aires some time in the late spring, and Socialists admit that measures for a general \u201cforward\u201d policy throughout Latin America will be then | elaborated.: Egyptian Unrest Egypt has lately passed through a « wave of rioting and incipient insurrec- tiem Beginning in and about Cairo.| the disturbances spread like wild-fire all up and down \u2018he Nile valley.Rail- | ways and telegraph lines were systematically cut, isolated British officers were attacked und murdered.and the | confusion was rendered more acute by \u201cthe irruption out of the desert of swarms of Bedouin Arabs lent on .plunder.The British governmert admitted in Parliament that all Egypt was in a state of insurrection.though , the determined efforts of the large British garrison in Egypa seem to have restored relative order to the country- These disturbances, however serious, are not surprising, for unrest in Egypt is nothing new.In fact.Britain has been faced with popular discontent ever since she conquered Egypt in 1882.Notwithstanding the enormous maternal benefits of British rule, and about the beginning of the present century a strong Nationalist party with the slogan \u201cEgypt for the Egyptans\u201d came into existence.The aim of the Nationalists was independence and their tactics were so turbul- \u201cent that the British were compelled to use sharp coercive measures.Egypt's strategic situation, especially the con- trol of the Suez Canal, rendered its retention of the British Empire necessary.The outbreak of the European War dealt a bady-blow to the good relations of Boer and Briton in South Africa.Altho Botha and his followers joia- ed with the Unionists in expressions of loyalty and pledges of support to England, the Nationalists called for a policy cf strict neutrality.When Premier Botha ordered general moh- ilization for an expedition against German Southwest Africa the Back- veldt farmers flamed into insurrection This Boer revolt was far more serious than vas known at the time.It was soon crushed, but it left an evil legacy of race-bitterness behind.The Nationalists kept up their propaganda.Their theory was of course destructive of anything like British .Imperial unity.Nevertheless, Nationalism continued to make headway.\u2018 The general elections of 1915 were a | bad blow to the Botha government.The results by parliamentary seats were: South African Party, 54; Unionists, 40; Nationalists, 27; labor Party, 4; Independents, 5.Subsequent by.elections further increased the Nation alist strength, while the Labor:tes and Independents generally acted with the Nationalists.Premier Botha was in a | quandary.He and his party were no | longer in a majority.Instead of resigning, however, he made a working agreement with the Unionists, and South Africa has since been governed by a patriotic coalition, just as Ausat- ralia has heen governed by a patriotic , coalition of Hughes Laborites and Liberals over the anti-war Labor faction.North Versus South In China For months past China has been holding a peace conference of its own, a convention of Northeners and Southerners in an endeavour to heal the schism between North and South that has troubled Chinese political life ever since the establishment of the Republic in 1912.The quarrel between North and South is, of course nothing new.It has vexed China for centuries The vast maas of the Chinese people remaining politically inert, with scant intereat in or comprehension of the momentous political changes which have been passing over their heads the past neven years.This is what gives a certain theatrical umreality to the THE HUNTINGLDUIN CLEANER.complicated series of revolutions, dictatorships, and coups d'etat which have taken place since 1912.Korea Aspires to Independence.Meanwhile, the neighboring region cf Korea, though formally incorpor- atod into the Japanese Empire since 1910, is being troubled by a nativa movement against Japanese domination and in favor of independence.Japanese rule has unquestionaly conferred great material benefits upon the country, raising it economically from the backwardness and decrepitude into which it had fallen.There has been a very large Japanese immigration into Korea, the population of Seoul, the capital city, alone containing more than 59,000 Japanese, more than one-sixth of the total population.But the natives do «ot appear to have become reconcile] \u201co their new status und the news of the Versailles Peace Conference with its outstending prin ciple of \u201cself-determination\u2019 of peoples has reused a lively ferment in the Korea population.Denied an opportunity to lay their case before the Peace Conference, the Korean Nationalists started a \u201cpassive resistance\u201d movement which spread all over Korea nd frequently degenerateu into mob outbreaks against the Japanese authorities.Current reports as to conditions in Korea are highly conflicting, the Japanese stating that the disturbances were not werious nd that relative qui-t had been restored, while Korean ard foreign missionary advices report much bloodshed, whole- site arrests and persistent opposition to Japanese rule.The Flurry Over Lower California An official statement given out ut the end of March by General Amado Aguirre, Mexican Under-Secrctary of Prevelopment and Agriculture, has raised a question containing the possibility of diplomatie exchanges between the United States and Mexico, and.in lesser degree, the possibility of diplomatic excharpges hetveen the United States and Japan.General Aguirre stated that Japanese corporations were making arrangements with the Mexican government for the acquirement of land tracts in Lower California which were to be the scone of Japanese agricultural settlement and exploitation.These land tracts were said to be those which had been acquired by an American corporation, the California-Mexico Land company of Los Angeles.under the Diaz re- rime but which the present Carranza government of Mexico declared reverted to the Mexican government under the terms of the new Carran- cista constitution of 1917, and as such subject to the free disposal of the Mexican government.This immediately raised two issues.In \u201che first place.the United States has never recognized the right of Mexico.by the promulgation of a new constitution.to confiscate foreign interests lawfully acquired under the old Mexican Constitution.The American Government has categorically stated on several occasions that it will not acquiesce in such confiscation and that it intends to uphold vested American interests.Thus, if the land which the Mexican government contemplates leasing to Japanese corporations be that of the American company, the transaction may he made the subject of a diplomatic protest by the American government as concerniny land which the American Goovernment contends is the Jawful property of American citizens and of whicl: the Mexie- an government has not the right thus to dispose.The second issu raised is one of much broader scope.involving as it dues America's attitude toward Lower California under the general policy of the Monroe Doctrine.America has always taken a lively interest in Lower California.This long, narrow peninsula, extending southward nearly eight hundred miles from the American border, is geographically a natural continuation of our Pacific Coast.It is an arid land with a scanty population (52,000\u2014less than one inhabitant per square mile), but it possesses one excellent harbor on its Pacific side\u2014 Magdalena Bay, which in foreign hands, would he a dire menace to our Pacific Coast.Magdalena Bay has already figured in our diplomatic history notably in 1912, when a Japanese fishing corporation sought to establish a concession on its shores.The American Government immediately took diplomatic action and our Senate adopted the famous Lodge resolution, which declared: \u201cThat when any har- hor or other place in the American continents is so situated that the occupation thereof, for naval or mility- ary purpeses, might threaten the communications or safety of the United States the Government of the United States could not see, without grave concern, the possession of such harbor or association which has such a relation to another government, not American, y8 to give that government control for national purposes.: To be sure, it appears that the lands today in question are not anywhere near Magdalen Bay, being situated in the Mexican portion of the Imperial Valley, just south of the American- Mexican border\u2014assuming, of course, that the lands referred to by General Aguirre are solely those of the Log Angeles corporation.But the attitud : of the American Government has always indicated clarly that it would not view with equanimity Jrpanese interests in any part of Lower California.That was explicitly stated by Senator Lodge during the debate in 1912.Furthermore, in 1911, when an American company owning land in Lower Calif- ornis asked our State Department how our Government would view a sale of the company\u2019s land to Japanese purch- users, Secretary Knox replied: \u201cIt is difficult for me categorically to answer the inquiries you make, but I ought not to disguise the fact\u2014very likely fully realized by you\u2014that such a tran- sfr would be quite certain to be interpreted in som quarters in a manner to Cause à great outcry.Such a result ' i Î i | would be 50 obviously a cause of regret to the Government of the United States that it appears unnecessary for me to make further comment in res- : ponse to your request to know the feeling of the Federal Govrnment in the premises.\u201d The sale never took place.In the present case the \u201coutcry\u201d which Seeretyry Knox foresaw has already occurred.Numerous protests have been voiced from the Pacific Coast, and Senator Phelan of California has uttered a vigorous wyrning against the creation of a \u201clittle Japan\u201d right on our bordere, whence a stream of clandestine Japanese immigration might infiltrate into California.Mexico and Bolshevism This Lower California matter is only symptomatic of Mexico's deplorable condition and of its unsatisfactory relations, not merely to the United States but to other countries.The Carranzista Coustitution of 1917 has invoked indigngnt protests throughout the civilized world.Its summary \u201cnationalization\u201d of Mexico's natura\u2019 resources without compensation to foreign owners is sheer confiscation, utterly contrary to existing standards of international comity.well-informed observers of Mexican affairs assert that the Carranza government is not merely seeking to win jingo suport by raising the \u201cMexico for the Mexicans.\u201d but that it is also pandering to revolutionary socialism in a manner that threztens to make Mexico ; centre of Bolshevism, and a source of dangerous contarion to

operation of Our Country In Winning the War, and Business Relationships Are Bound to Be come Much Closer In the Future ITH Canada entering the period of reconstruction when war industries must be readapted to peace activities and new trade secured, jt is encouraging to note the possibilities of greutly improved commerclul relations with France, At the recent mecting of the Canadian Rteconstrue- tion Association at Montreal, Seni- tor Beaubien emphasized the desire of the republie for increascd trade with the Dominion, \u201cDeeply moved by Canudu's effective co-operation in the war,\u201d he said, \u201cFrance deems anxious to show her oppreciation of our efforts, Inspired by that desire, the Comite Franco-Amerique, which is presided over by Monsieur Gabriel Hanotaux, and whose principal object is to cxtend to the fields of industry the close relations now welding Cunadu and France on the fields of battle, has called the attention of its Canadian section to the great trade opportunity afforded in reconstruction work neccssary to restore the devastated areas of France.It points out that many nations are already cagerly seizing this opportunity and strongly urges Canada to do likewise.\u201d The Canadian section of the Comite l\u2018ranco-Amerique has already recommended to the Government that an honorary commission, assisted by experts if necessary, be appointed to ascertain what Canadian products could be furnished for the work of reconstruetion in France, particularly such products as can be standardized and provided in large quantities, The Canadian As- saciation further suggested that this commission should negotiate with the French Government \u201cwiih a view of having France, as a nation, purchase large quantities of such standardized products with the understanding that the orders for such materials would be handled by Canada in the same manner and through the same channels as war orders.\" In supporting measures [or greater trade with France, Senator Beaubien submitted some striking figures ot our present exportation to prove that large orders can be secured from the republic, Within the last two years orders have been placed in Canaaa for very large amounis of metallurgical products.One enquiry received by a consulting engineer in Montreal wis for no less than 250,000 miles of cable exceeding in price $10,000,- 000.Tremendous quantities of material are required by the French state railways, including: Wheels for locomotives, Wheels for freight and passenger cars, Straight axles for Ilocomolives, freight and passenger cars.Bent anxles for locomotives, J,ocomotive steam cylinders.Cast steel lubricating boxes.Cast iron lubricating boxes.Iron.brass and bronze castings.Round, flat and square steel bars, Steel castings, Steel billets, spring steel.Helicoidul and spiral springs.Steel shapes.Spikes, cut and wire nails, Iron fittings, spare parts freight and passenger cars.Copper and steel five-box plates, Rails, bars and splices.Traction chains and hooks.Drawn and seamless steel, per and brass tubes.During September enquiries wore received at the French Chamber of Commnierce for shoes, Inmber, foodstuffs, canned goods, prepared furs, glassware for electric fer light, lard, bacon and smoked ham, tovs, maple syrup and tree felling and cutting machines.The present demand for window sashes and doors alone in the devas- con hardware, > talesl areus in France would supply | a splendid market for Canudian fae- torics but as Senator Beaubien pointed out, prior to the war and even up to two yeurs ago, the major part of ready-made wonden doors sold on the Canadian market were manufactured in the Stites; most of them came froin the middle west, many even from the State of | Washington, tion were made lumber.In other words, American doors dominated the Cunacian no ker despite the fact that these articles had to Lear the exten cost of long railway haul and of Canu- dinn duty which alone added price.tically Gue-tuird to their cost price, The reason for such an extraoroin- ary stile of things Senator Beaubion declared was the failure of Caux dian manufacturers to standardize their products, As he sald, \u201cwith their enovinns markets the Americans can spoectullae in one product and hy producing cnoruious quantitics rve- duce cost price to a minitium,\u201d Standardization is one of the ont.standing features of British and American trade preparations, The question should be given the carnest consideration of Canadian manufacturers.STRASBOURG.Capital of Alsace-Lorraine Liberated By the French.\u201cStrasbourg was a town of Germany, the capital of the imperial province of Alsace-Lorraine, and a fortress of the first rank.\u201d So ihe guldebooks used to describe it, and they would assuredly go on to tell that it is situated in a fertile plain at the junction of the Ill and the Breusch, some 370 miles southwest of Berlin, and thirty miles east of the French frontier.After all, such a description, for conciseness, at any rate, could not well be improved upon; but there is a wealth of story behind it all.The III and the Breusch, as they have flowed together at Strasbourg through all the centuries, have seen much history.They are undoubtedly the oldest features In the old town, although their actual waters may have been ever the most transient of visitors.They wore there before Strasbourg.They were there when the Roman legions marched through the passes of the Vosges on to the \u201cfertile plain,\u201d and captured the Celtic settlement which spread itself over the land where Strasbourg now stands, and they are there to-day, joining hands, and moving on together towards the e.A substantial propor- \u2018 out of Cunadian \u2018 \u2018The Itomans, as Was so generally their custom, replaced the Celtic settlement with a fortified station.They gave it the name of Argentoratum, and in after years, it became an important military post, and the headquarters of the Eighth Legion.It was here that the Emperor Julian, for a time, in the fourth century, , Btemmed the tide of the barbarian invasion by a decisive victory over the Alemanni; but, about fifty years afterwards, Argentoratum and the whole district now called Alsace fell into the hands of that people.Later | on, towards the end of the fifth century, the town passed into the pos- | gession of the Franks, and it was the Franks who gave it is present | name.Christianity, of course, came with Clovis, the Frank; and it was! chiefly in consequence of its eccles- iasticul difficulties that Strasbourg gained such prominence in medieval times.The Bishops of Strasbourg were princes of the church, not at all given to democratic views, and | they carly fell foul of the good citi- .zens of the town.Strasbourg had prospered as the years had passed, Its citizens had grown wealthy, and | the more the bishop tried to assert! his authority the more firmly were the citizens convinced that such ec- clegiastical rule was inconsistent with - their full development.And so from protest added to .protest they went | to open warfare.The conflict was finally decided, by the battle of; Oberhausbergen, in favor of the citi- | zens, in 1262, and Strasbourg gained a full recognition of its position as a , free imperial city, a status which had been conferred upon it by the German King, Henry of Swabia.Once freed from the dominance of the church, Strasbourg set about organizing an internal revolution, Its citizens had always {favored the democratic view of things, and the Government of the city was not democratic enough (lo satisfy them, so, towards the middle of the fourteenth century, they secured the ad- | mission of the guilds to the muni- | cipal councils, Thereafter, Strasbourg flourished more than ever, and when it had to make the cholee bea .ween the old and the reformed religion, in the sixteenth century, it listened readily to the preaching of Martin Luther, accepted the teachings of the Reformation, and, through all the troubles which followed, was peculiarly immune from the miseries endured by so many of iis neighbors, far and near.So its history comes down to the memorable day, in 1681, when Louis XIV.marched against the city, and not only seized it, but, in spite of all protests, kept possession of it, and had his title confirmed and recognized by the Peace of Ryswick, in 1697.The next great incident in the history of Strasbourg was Its siege and capture by the Prussians, in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1.The siege lasted seven weeks, and the city, with its garrison of 17,000 men, finally surrendered, on Sept.28, 1870.As to the rest of the story, the world in perhaps more generally femiliar with it than with the story of most cities.\u2014 meet TEACHERS WANTED For District No.3 in the Township of Elgin Term ten months, salary $43.per month.School to open August the 18th.Applications received
