RURAL TELEPHONES
IN SASKATCHEWAN
m.
Rural telephone construction this
year in the Province of Sasatchewan
is stated by iilr. D, C. McNab to be
slightly above normal, with conditions
healthy and prospects bright. "While
there have been years," said Mr. Me -
Nab, "in which more rapid develop-'
meat has been made, it is estimated
that from 7,500 to $8,000 new tele-
phone mileage will be completed this
year."
The statement has frequently been
heard that it is impossible to forecast
the development in a city er town, and
therefore not practtieal 'to plan com-
prehensively /for its future growth.
Unfortunately, places in this country
have been unplanned from the be-
ginning, and by treating additions and
developments in piecemeal fashion, a
ehaotie growth has occurred, resulting
in the above erroneous deduction. The
leading cities in. the United States
have recognized the dangers and
harmful consequences of unregulated
expansion, and have been adopting
regulations as to use, districts and
!building restrictions." -Saskatchewan
Municipal Department.
BLOCKADE ON GERMANY

Memorials fo British.
The people of France do not intend
to let the memory of five years' close
association with the Tommies fade,
for although the British troops are
gradually leaving the country, even
when the last man has departed there
are still to remain tangible memorials
to; tisose days when they fought side
by side.
The town of Havre intends to erect
a suitable monument at the entrance
to the harbor, where thousands of
English soldiers obtained their first
glimpse of the country where they
were to experience what modern war
means, while at Dunkirk the towns-
people are considering a project far

Indian soldiers who, with France's
own 'colored troops, did yeomen ser-
vice.

JEWLSW PALESTINE -ASSURED
UNDER A BRITISH MANDATE
Full Accord Reached Between Britain and France With Regard
to the Disposition of Turkish Territory in Asia Minor.
Full accord has been reached be -1
tween Great Britain and France with
regard to the disposition of Turkish
territory in Asia Minor. Au a result °
of negotiations between General
Allenby and the French mission, the
status of a Jewish Palestine under a
British mandate is assured, while
France will have charge of Syria. This
arrangement is by no means based
;on ethnical grounds, for the Turks
form the majority of the population.
But to leave the country in their
control after peace is finally conclud-
ed would be to aband-n the large min-
orities of Christians, Jews, Orthodox
Greeks and Armenians to pillage and.
massacre. The powers have therefore
deoided to protect these minorities by
the creation of new states. This i s
only a fitting punishment not only for
the hideous outrages committed by the
Turks during the war but for their
centuries of misrule, cruelty and tor-
ture. Under the new dispensation
Turkey will lose even more territory :
than the Austro-Hungarian empire.
That partition of Turkey was in-
evitable was foreshadowed in the
terms of the armistice, which demand -

Arabian coast, back of the Judean
hills about forty miles from Jerusalem
and just north of Aleppo connects
with the Bagdad railway, which is
open to Constantinople, the Mount
Taurus tunnel having been computed
by the Germany just two 'leeks {-
fore the armistice. The Germans were
particularly angry against the Turks
for surrendering this fine tunnel, as
long as the St, Gothard, en which they
had expended large sums and employ-
ed their /best engineering skill for
years. 0
When Allenby entered Damascus he
ended forever the Germandream of an
eastern empire through control of the
Mohammedan world. They had hoped
to send Turkish armies by this route
to the gates of India, menacing the
lifeline that connects the vast domains
of the British Empire, New this mag-
nificent artery of commerce with the
east passes into the hands of their
hated rivals, -
A secret treaty was entered into be-
tween France and Great Britain in
1010 by which Syria and southern
Asia Minor were to go to France and
