BRITISHER OFFERS 3600.000
TO HEW WS COUNTRY
A despatch from London say ss:
When an individual eomee forward
and volunteer. to surrender to his
country's needs 8f00,000 the circum-
stances would be a noteworthy inci-
dent in any part of the world.
Such is man has been revealed in
a letter to The Times, "F. S, T." say-
ing: "I have decided to purchase that
amount of the new war loan and
'" present it to the Government for
cancellation, C'nn the nation be made
to understand the gravity of the fin-
anodal situation, that the love of
country is better than the love of
money? By example the wealthy
classes now have the opportunity for
service which ran never recur. They
know the danger o1 the present debt.
They 'mow the weight of it in years
to come."
While there has not been a wild
rush of other wealthy men with free-
will offerings, a number have come
forward quietly and anonymously,
and taken large blocks of the new
Victory Loan. This new movement
proves the existence in Great Britain
of another high form of patriotism.
QUICK REPATRIATION
OF CANADIAN AMY
A despatch from London says( -
It has been officially stated in the
House of Commons that by the 30th
of June 82 .2 per cent. of the Can-
adian army will have been repatriat-
ed. The American army is not being
repatriated quicker than the Can-
adian.
Germans Claim Treaty
Worthless as Lasting Peace
A despatch from Copenhagen
says -The acceptance of the Peace
Treaty has left Berlin, and, indeed,
the whole of Germany with a feeling.
of resentment, and, in the words of
the Perlin correspondent of The Ber-
iinske Tidende, "there yawns be-
tween Berlin and Paris a gulf wider
than that which yawned in 1871."
Germany has accepted a peaee
which she was not able to reject, but
it is well to recognize the spirit in
which she accepted it. Perhaps the
best expression of this spirit is found
in Vorwarts, which says:
‘"This peace, being the product of
force, is worthless as a real peace,
because the German people will never
believe in it.' 1t is a peace, which will
last only so long as the balance of
powers remain the same as 'that
which- dictated it."
ADMIRAL SUNK THE FLEET
ON HIS OWN INITIATIVE
A despatch from London says:-
Reuter's learns that the authorities �
are communicating with Paris re-
garding action to be taken against
Admiral von Reuter, who, with the
officers and men of the German fleet
is interned. It is confirmed that the
Admiralty has learned that the
scuttling of the fleet was entirely the
work of the German admiral, and,
was not carried out as a result of
instructions from Berlin.
Houses • constructed entirely of salt
are a unique feature of some of the
villages in Russian Poland.

A PLAIN TRUTH.
..
.A. man may patronize the mail order houses for years• ---may send°them in that time hundreds of dollars -
and at the same time they wouldn't accommodate him for a two -cent stamp. This is the plain, unvarnished truth.
If you think otherwise try it for yourself and see. TheSe out-of-town houses do not know YOU -do not CARE to
know you -are not interested in you In any way -only in the motley you send them. Spend your money with our
own townsmen, who know you for what you really are, who appreciate your worth, your business, your assist-
ance in building up home interests.

DEAD SEA AIDS ROAD BUILDING.
•
Bitumen For Pavements Will Be Ob-
tained From That Region.
Ample quantities of bitumen occur
in the Dead Sea region. It can easily
be gathered and prepared for use in
road making, and there is the advant-
age that it will be obtainable at much
cheaper rates than those which now
obtain in the Near East and in Europe.
The material can best be applied by
means of the usual tar -spraying ma-
chine,
Dead Sea bitumen was undoubtedly
used in ancient tines. It is evident
that the walls of the temples and the
palaces of Babylon and Nineveh were
joined with bituminous cements, and
there are bitumen -lined cisterns in
Syria of great antiquity which are
still water tight'and fit for use. A
road surface treated with this asphallt
according to modern methods may
prove a most satisfactory solution of
a ,very troublesome problem in the
Near East, where, because of climatic
conditions and the narrow wheels of
vehicles, the macadam road is. often
a source of trouble owing to the dust
that arises from it.
