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.

"France," he said, "must be re- duced, sunk forever, made another Portugal or Turkey, even if we have to kill 5,000,000 Frenchmen to do it." - What.Erzberger demanded in 1914: -Seizure of French industries, Pos- session of Channel ' islands, founding of German empire in Africa; gradual absorption of all neutral border na- tions, complete annexation of Belgium and enormous indemnity.

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.
