This is the building stipulated by the Rockefeller Foundation as a condition necessary to the gr'aiiting of the en - research in Medicine in the Provincial University. During the recent ses- sion i of the Legislature there was a god deal of doubt whether the mil- lion dollar : endowment could be se- cured, but, recognizing the need for every dollar. that -can be obtained for the University, the Government gave its ' promise that the Anatomy Building would at once be proceeded' with. On the strength of this prom- ise, the Rockefeller foundation has forwarded the .first quarter's instal- ment of the annual interest of $50,000. ' This money is to be used for the furtherance of •medical knowledge and for this purpose only. With this ad- ditional income, and a new building which has been urgently needed for years, the University of Toronto will be better equipped to produce the best physicians and surgeons that can be had. Because it is a question of the lives of the people of the country no legitimate expense can he 'spared in providing for medical education. This Rockefeller endowment puts the Faculty of Medicine of the Pro- vincial University on a satisfactory basis, but other faculties and depart- ments are still struggling to do their work 'on as totally inadequate revenue. If, at the next session of the Legis- lature, the Ontario Government adopts the Report of ,the Royal •Commission on University, Finances, the present deplorable condition of affairs can be remedied and the University of To- ronto will be in a position to serve the Province as it should and as it is anxious to do. The present necessity, forstanding still, as far as new de- velopments are concerned is injurious •both to the University and to the Province. The man who spends much time in getting even has that much less time to spend in getting ahead. E REACH THE ,r4 8 ICY THAT 1 5 WHAT liPaS 1<3E-? HE OWNS.

The talk between the two leaders was conducted -behind rigidly closed doors, while 5,000 Irishmen and -wo- men massed in Whitehall, sang Re- publican and old Irish songs.

It is to his intervention that so much is • attributable. We owe him a deep debt of gratitude for this, one of the greatest of the services he has rendered to the world.

Georges Dombreval, the French aviator, once placed on the up- per plane of his airplane eighty-eight pounds of snails, two-thirds of which were the large snow snails of Bour- gogne. After rising to a height of per- haps fifteen hundred feet he was able to take his hands off the controls for the rest of the two hours of flight.

A despatch from London says:- P While 'Lloyd George and de Valera 1{fere thrashing out peace matters on Thursday in London, the Ulsterites and Sinn Feiners reopened hostilities. in Northern "Ireland. They began 'a pitched. 'battle at Belfast, which be- came more and more serious as the day wore on. MargaretWalsh, a who young g 3 girl, was wounded in the head; died at six o'clock on Thursday night. District Inspector McConnell and Sergt. Tay- lor were wounded while answering a riot call in the .Short Strand district. The firing in York Street continued. for three hours. Tram cars were attacked and alleged iStinn Feiners were dragged' from the cars and beaten. Women and: children in the east end aided the men in piling stones and loading revolvers, 'urging the wren . to "go for the enmy." Military assistance was called for, but all efforts to quell the disturbances were unsuccessful, despite the fact that motor cars were brought into use. Outside of Belfast, Ireland is quiet. Just before 10 o'clock the rioting had spread to the heart of tho city, a fiercebattle occurring in Royal- Avenue and abutting streets. The po- lice fired into the crowds. It is re- ported that one military officer was shot dead. William Grant, Unionist M.P. from North Belfast, was shot 1n the chest during the rioting.

The details' of the settle- ment are not forthcorning, but it is understood a detailed plan was daawn up defining exactly what proportion of the monetary vete of Germany's deliveries of housing and other ma- terials should be credited her forth- with on the reparations account. Originally, Rathenau had asked that French Governmentpay into the cof- fers of the Reparation Commission on Berlin's (behalf the full market price of the materials delivered.

A despatch from London- ea s;--' PY Horse lovers throughout the country have bean shocked by Colonial 'Secre- tary Winston Churchill's announce ment in the House of Commons that 30,000 army horses in Mesopotamia are to: be lolled because it too'ex- pensive to bring -g them home. It was explained that they are mainly heavy draught horses for which there is no local use, and that they had to be fed on imported fodder. The nearest .pos- sible markets are India or Egypt, but the difficulties and .cost of transporta- tion thence are said to ,be prohibitive. Shipping men say it costs'. £40 to X50 to bring a horse from the Fast to England, not counting horsemen's wages. The War Office view is that it is better for the horses to be killed hu- manely and scientifically than to ,be left in the hands of natives who w ou'.d not care for them properly, and --no one would suggest turningthem adrift g8 'in the desert..
