Notes of Interest as to What Is Going
On MI Over the World
Good Roads and Country Life.
The public, improvement root needed to-
day is the hnprovemerit of our roade, and
there is reason for opal:11km. Persistent
alMeals,•acoumulate effeht, but bet‘ter than
a century of propaganda is the spread of
the automobile sad the motorcycle. It is
the poseeesion,of these for praotical use
and pkasure that is taming the good
roade movement. .And together they will
still farther traneform the conditions of
rural life. They will take up what the
telephone and the trolley began and give
to life in the country new social resouroes.
Isolation is passing completely from the
country, and with ite departure one oLthe
profoundest soeial and economic chazge,s
9iniaethe.e history of the country will take
. Forests to he Safeguarded.
Arising out of the reorganization of the
Forestry Branch. 4if the Ontario Depart-
ment of Lands, Forests and Mines, it is
understood that an important move is
shortly to be taken by the Government to
.rtiore adequately safeguard the forest
wealth of Ontario. Prof. E. Z. ZaviTz,
Forestry Cononiesioner, has been com-
missioned by. Hort. W. H. Hearst to study
the whole, question and report with a re-
commendation of a plan to be adopted.
It is likely that when. the Legielature
meets next session a c.orepreheneive pro-
gramme will be laid before the House. The
fire -protection programme will co-ordinate
with the reforeetation scheme now under
way. Not only is the fire -ranging forte
to be maintained and strengthened. but
,it is stated that fire belts will be -cut
through the most valuable stretches of
pine forest; a raore efficient patrol will be
kept up, and severe „progeoution of 'those
who violate the forest regulations. The
fire 'belts:. it' is honed,' girove." win:Lifer,
and where a fire starts to spread it will
strike these belts and stop for lack of COM,
bustible material. '
Thousands of Hindus to Come to Canada.
Secret reports that have, reaehed the
Department of Immigration at Ottawa
of a schenie on foot th bring thousands
of Hindus th Canada by a direct line of
steamers from Calcutta to 'Vancouver are
causing the officials considerable concern.
One rumor has it that a co-operative
soheme, embracing one hundred thousand
Hindus, will shortly, be launched. Pro-
tests have already been received from the
Pacific Coast. and it is reported. that a
special officer will be sent to London to
make 'representations to the India Office.
Hitherto it hae been possible th pre-
vent an influx by' the order in council
which stipulates that immigrants must
come by direct passage from the land of
their bfrth. Another clause that may be
used, and has been used in similar cases,
ie the one prohibiting the immigration of
persons belonging to a -race deem unsuit-
ed to the climate or 'requirements of Can-
ada, but the Hindus have waged a cam-
paign against this barrier. and point to
their brethren now in good health and
comfortable drcumstances in British Col-
umbia. Hindu women and children are
said to be included in the new colonize -
tion scheme.
If despite warnings the Hindus attempt
to land in Canada a serious situation will
develop foi, feeling among the white pop-
ulation in British Columbia is very strong.
Despatches from the Canadian Pacific
coast say that white farmers are already
olamoring fOr simila0 1a0vs in British Col-
umbia to thoee Tecently passed in Cali-
fornia, and against which. Japan so
strongly protested.
OH Fuel for the Royal Navy. •
When Mr. Winston Churchill, First Lord
of the Admiralty, announced that oil will
supplement coal in the case of large as
well ae small ships of war, he called at-
tention to another of the long series of
'changes that have revolutionized ocean
traneportation. This leet is by no means
the /east for the use of oil will 'bring
with it not only increased speed, but a
much larger radius of' action and easier
and faster replenishment. The admiralty'
bas not, however, come to this momentous
decieion without full aesurance that it'le
Justified. For more than a hundred de-
stroyers are built or antler construction
dependent entirely on oil fuel, .and the
experiment of building a division of fast
battleships and battle eruisere and a ninn-
ber of light cruisers burning oil fuel only,
Mr, Churchill affirmed, has proved elm -
Coal, however, • will not be entirely
abandoned, because, as the first lord ex-
plained, oil is only required in large
E3 hips when an exceptional speed has to
be leached with a vessel of exceptional
(nudity. Whatever may ultimately hap.
pen,coal win continue to be the main be-
Sis of British sea power in line of battle
at present. Put the stake in oil shipS is
already So important that Britain Must
have tbe certainty of a steady supply of
oil at a steady price and the admiralty
recognizes that it must 'become the
dependent owner and producer of its eup
plies, In Britain itself are great potem
Utilities, since the Sottish shale depoeits
alone, if developed, can yield between -400,.
000 and 500,000 tons a year for 150 years,
The problem'. remarked Mr, Churchill, is
not one of quantity, but of price.

Mr. A. Chevalier, Chief City Re-

ter for lately arrived immigrants.
Already, he said, a greater amount
•of relief has been asked for than
for the same time last year. Plenty
of outside work is to be had just at
present, but as soon as this has
been stopped by frost all the peo-
ple will be out of employment. An-
other feature will be the importa-
tion a many harvesters for the
west. As soon as this work is over,
said be, many of the laborers will
return to to-wn with the intention
of sailing for home, but a• certain
number will be too late for naviga-
tion and will be stranded here. Mr.
Chevalier said that the charitande
