TO EXHIBIT

Britain to Show. at- Toroiriti

'Trade Extension -Visiting
Commission.
. •
Ottawa, May 7. -Sir George Foster,
Minister of Trade and Commerce, told
Parliament yesterday afternoon .that
Ire had effected arrangement's with 'tee.
British Government to place ott ex-
hibition at Toronto under the 'Otte -
aloe of the Canadian National Exhi-
bition next autumn an important in-
dustrial feature. Britain, the 'Minister
said, had been exhibiting a large col-
lection of goods of German and .Aus-
trian manufacture for the purpose of
stimulating the production of such
goods withirt the Empire. The exhibit
would demonstrate the kind, quality
and cost of articles largely supplied
by Germany before the war.
Sir George asked the passing of an
Item of $150,000, to be used in carry-
ing out his plan of trade extension
previously outlined. There would be
additional trade commissioners, one
in Petrograd, one in Omsk, Siberia,
one in Italy and two other sub -tone
missioners were being trained .for
service.
A. Trade Commission of six mem-
bers would visit England, France,
Belgium and Italy. The Commission
- would be accompanied by representa-
tives of large interests. The expense;
Of the party would have to be met.
The proposed Trade -Bureau would
be established from a small begin-
ning, but even a small beginning
would Involve expenditure.
The war had Shown the need for
trade research. It was found that
Germany had obtained pontrol of
eertain industries, and only from
Germany could melt articles as dye -
duffs be obtained. Canada's indus-
tries needed to be organized to meet
this condition and to start work.
The sources of research in Canada
were both public and private. UM-
vereities, manuffieturing enterprisiel
and private Investigations were at
work. Sir George thought lie could
work out a system which would not
involve great expense and which
would bring all these sources of re-
search together in a Plan Of co-obera-
Me systematic work. Ile hoped that
With the help of the univarsitice, the
Canadian Chemical Association and
other such bodies that problems aria -
Mg in Canada could be assigned to
some special group of investigators for
solution.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier urged that one
of the essential tillage to carrying
out the idea effectively would be the
establishment of a system of technical
education he Canada, to produce men
with technical training equipped to

Sir George Foster planned.

Were a, small force numerically to
advance upon the intrenched idolat-
rous host of Asia Minor. The lesson
before us presents one of Woe syna-
gogue sceaes, which are of so neuch
,interest in Connection with the early
progresa Of Christianity. By the
courtesy of his countrymen Paul was
permitted to opeak, Tbat was an
event in his history, the beginning
of a battle which concluded with his
words, "I have fought' a, good fight,"
Plaurs address reeerable4 that of
Stephen's, delivered before the San-
hedrin. It was a brief, historical
survey of Israel, a trite picture of that
highly favored nation, the history of
- the kingdom of God. The main pur-
pose of Paula :sermon was to prove
the Messiahship of Jesus and thereby
Proclaim the gates of life open to all
men, In portraying the providential
course of 'tweet's history, Paul out-
lined briefly those distinctive fea-
tures which. revealed the filet that
from the beginning God's eye was fix-
ed upon the uppermost parts of the
earth, as well as upon the land of bie
chosen people. In his review Paul
noted the divine selection of la people,
their wonderful deliverance, their de-
sert discipline, the expulsion of the
Canaanites, the foundation of a set-
tled system of gevernmerit, the epeeh
of kings. This recital was pleasing
to the listening jewe, Paul further
declared that in Jesus the line of Is-
raeas greatness was continued; that
without the crowning fact of his re-
surrectiou the iest would have been
Incomplete.
II. Rejected by Jewish leader. Pata's
tact was meet remarkable. FItrdesired
to impress the fact that the Hebrew
scriptures which were the basis of
their faith as a, people, contained the
promise of a liessiali; that the Mes-
siah predicted in their scriptures had
actually appeared upon earth, and that
he was the Mediator through whom
the world was to be saved. Paul's
mode of -preaching was, first of all, to
appeal to the understand with a clear
exposition of truth, .and then to im-
Press that truth with earnest exhorta-
tion. Paul's power as a speaker lay
in the intensity of his convictions and
In his strong sympathy -with his audi-
ence, which made him quick to adapt
iticiself to them and to prese home
his thought. He offered proofs of his
statements which were within ths eom-
prehension of his audience. True gospel
message which Paul presented put Ms
hearers to the test. He warned them
of the fatal consequences of rejecting
the offer of salvation. The results of
Pours appeal were seen in a general
spirit of yeiigipus inquiry, the con-
vetsion of many, great eaeltement
among the pleseee, the stirring up of
bitter persecution, tte inereased power
ot the amain at their work. The
Jews were Made jeeloue of their am
leaders and of the held they and their
doctrine were getting. Tiles' refused
to admit that the redemption of the
Gentiles was a, part of God's plan of
salvation. They said, in effect, if the
Gentiles were to receive the gospel,
they would not, Patti Made plain their
own responsibility for their attitude
toward the gospel. They luul learned
its central truths and formed their own
decision. They decreed their own sen-
ttnee of condemnation, They put from
themselves the Word of God and thus
judged themseivee. To the Gentiles it
was the early dawn of the promised
day. They needed comfort. They greet-
ed the goied news and were blessed bY
it. The mixed audience of Jews, pro-
selytes and Gentilee had the egolden
opportunity of listening to Paul, the
profound interpreter of scripture, the
large -hearted apostle to the Gentiles,
tho truly evangelicat preacher cif the
Christian faith, the undaunted straiten
to the truth, The Jews had a great
opportunity. In every possible place
grace was heln out to them; neverthe-
less they epurned it Ala and foreed the
apostles to leave their city under the
ben of the law, but with no revenge
in their hearts. They grew greater in

Or that he shrank from the aardships

14. Antioch in Pisidia-A.ntioca lay
about one hundred miles nearly north
of Perga. 4 Is thought that it may
have been on this journey that Paul
was in perils of robbers (2 Cor. 11,
28.) It was a mountainous region and
.was infested by brigands. Antioch in
Pisidia was built by Seleueus and was
one of the sixteen Antiochs which he
founded, and named after Iris father.

"arose in his place and, beckoning with
his hand for the attention of the 'aud-
ience, addressed them by the Minor -
able title, "Men of Israel." He related
the early history of the Jewish race
and declared that Jesus, who sprang
from the lineage of David. was the
Messiah. He told of the preaching of
John the Baptist and of the hatred of
the Jews toward Jesus, who had been
unjustly put to aeatit. God raised him
from the dead and salvation, was pro-
claimed in gis name to all the world.

Their hearts were touched by Paul's

French Private Initiative is
Universally Working.

Quite Unnecessary.
-Paris 'Cable, -(Correspondence of
the Associated Press.)-Tbe reported
boycott, after the war, of German
products la France and other coun-
tries of tile Entente might, until re-
cently, have been -looked upon as the
manifestation of a spirit that a rea-
sonable peace treaty could overconee.
Tbe idea is now apparently so deeply
rooted in the minds of individuals as
to constitute a raenaee that may resist
.any sort of a peace treaty. The only
official action regarding trade between
citizens at Francs and the Central
Emilree applies only to the period of
hostilities, Private initiative, how-
ever, has gone far in the direction of
a permanent ostracism of merchandise
from -countries now at War with
Frauce. If it continues to develop
along the same lines, it may make
official action sinierfluous.

Enemy Mines Failed to 'Do
Any Damage.
London iCable.-The British offa
del statement on the -campaign in
Franee and Belgium, issued to -night,
folio we:
"The enemy sprang mines last night
near NeuvIlle-St. Vaast, and oae to.
day east of Albert, without effecting
any alteration in the situation. Due.
ing the night there was considerable
artillery activity on the banks of the
Somme, opposite Hulluch and west of
Ypres. To -day there is nothing to re-
port; The artillery was less active
titan usual,
"Yesterday as a result of air cern.
bats we drove two enemy machines
down behind the German lines. One
was wreaked and the pilot of our
aeroplane fired on the occupants after
the landing and then returned safely
to our lines. The other enemy machine
was damaged. During day one of our
aeroplanes was lost, being brought
down •witain the enemy's lines,"
BRITISH PRESS
ON GERMAN NOTE
All See in It an Evasion of
the U. S. Demands,
With Effort to Embroil Bri-_
lain and America.
London iCable,-Phe Interest with,
which Germany's reply to the United
States was awaited here could hardly
have been exceeded in America, All
the evening newspapers yesterday
printed the note prominently by sec-
tions in successive editions. The great-
est curiosity was expressed as to tbe
reception of the note by the United
States.
The Daily News says:
"The essential int is that America%
specific demands are on every 'Mint ei-
ther completely evaded, or met by a
concession so emasculated by the con-
dition on which it hangs as to be ap-
proximately a flat reTusal. On a plain
reading -the German note is a non. pos-
sumus, and on plain reading the Am-
erican not foretold a break la diplo-
matic relations as a result of a non
poseumus."
The Express characterizes the Ger-
man reply as "insolent, cynical and
disingenuous," and declares it is an
ultimatum "because it means that un-
less the United States attempts to -
force the Allies to raise the siege of
Germany, Germans will continue to
kill haphazard."
"The purpose -of the long rigmar-
ole," says the Daily Chronicle, . "Is
imply to gain time. It adduces no new
argument, it cites no unfamiliar fact
or fable, it makes no offer to the Un-
ited States, except on terms which
render It valueless." .
The Morning Post, in an editorial
sees in the German note an attempt
to prolong negotiations and to embroil
England and America, while omplete-
ly evading America's categorieal de -
mends.
The Times says it fleas nothing In
the German note wilich is likely to
prove satisfactory to President Wil-
son or the American people. The al-
leged coneession contained in It is
vogue, and is made to turn upon eon-
ditions which are utterly inadmissible.
The Manchester Guardian says that
the effective point in the German re-
ply in cOntalned in the single brief
passage in which Germany offers a
further concession with the object of
adapting submarine warfare to the in-
terests of neutrals.
"Is this likely to satisfy the United
States, after two previous pledges have
proved worthless?" the Guardian asks.
Regarding the German pledge as
conditional on the modification or
withdrawal of the British blockade,
the Guardian Oneiderea President
Wilerin in the right in taking the pee-'
Rion that he naust argue the British
case with Great Britain and the Ger-
man. case with Germany without con-
fusing the issue by making settlement
of one dependent on the other. it eons
tinues:
"The Presideet is offered modifica-
tiOn on line o already shown to lelad to
bewhere and coupled with the condi-
tion he has invariably 'rejected, The
President's future couree would appear
to be marked out for Min with clear -
nets admitting, for a -firm statesman
representing a proud nation, of no dis-
pute,"
