' HOLLAND TO LONDON WITH DEW STILIL ON Flowers Cut eil.t Daybreak Sold M Covent Garden at 8 O'clock. A despatch from London says:- .Altleough aerial passenger „traffic be- tween England and the Continent has been falling steadily as a result of ace:laetrile; transportation of freight is increasing. Consignments of Dutch cut flowers for London by a group of Rotterdam grower -s, who are sending crates of peony roses, have been begun. 'Flowers cut at daybreak with the dew still On them are on sale in Con- vent Garden" market at 8 o'clock. Be- side de luxe parcels 'such as robes, per- fumes from Paris and men's clothing., cigars and whielcey from London, there is a big traffic in newspapers between the Capitals. London dailies are, 'en sale in Paris at 9 &Clock in the morning. As a matter of fact passengers are , growing timid, the flying official guiles showing 7,000 persons in 1920 and 11,000 last year, with only 3,000 so far this season which is half over. Refuting the statements of London_ riewspapers that certain French aero- planes are -unsafe and averuld not be granted permission to carry •passen- gers, the British Air Ministry com- menique says: "Although the French system of certification of air worthi- nese is -different from the Britieb, there is no reason to euggest that it is less efficient." Educational Economy. ie of the series ,of bulletins issued recently by the alumni of the Uni- gireaeirsity. of Toronto deals with the cost "'er pupil of education. It is a well known fact that the cost per pupil in the public schools has greatly in- creased during the past two decades • arid the same is true with regard to the high schools. Such, of course, is only natural not only on. account of the continually decreasing value of the dollar but also on accour.t of • the greatly diversified type of educa- tion which the modern world demands. No longer is instruction in the three basic subjects of the early school curriculum sufficient for the needs of the modern boy and girl. The same is true, this bulletin demonstrates, in the provincial univeraity. To ineet the requirements of modern life it Las teen necessary to add very many uni- versity departments. .anwd yet the cost per student in the University of To- • ronto is vereweensiderably below the cost per student in the universities -ef' Great Britain and of the lJnited States. Thi a is proof, if proof were needed, that the University of To- ronto is managedwith the most care- ful economy. It is easy for the Angio- -axon to criticize anything that is his own, but the series of belleties al- ready referred to has served to show that criticism of ,the provincial uni- versity's expenditures is not Support- ed by fact and that everything poi- sible is, being done to furnish to the youth of Ontario the very best of higher education a t a minimum of cost.

I am informed that the ex -Kaiser is taking the keenest interest in this work, and is being kept informed of all the plans of the Commission through a German pastor at The Hague, who is frequently at Doom. No Loan to Germany at Present Tiine A despatch from Paris says: -The international bankers, at a session held on Friday, virtually decided to adjourn for three months and then resume consideration of a proposed loari to Germany.

A despatch from Belleek, Ulster, says: -British troops were in action here on.' Thursdey supported by how- itzers firing 4.5 -high explosive shells. The fighting lasted for nearly an hour, at the end of which the village was in undisputed possession of the abtaeking force. This consisted of detachments of the South Stafford.shires and the Lino:fins, who advanced from Pettigee 15,y road, skirting Lough Erne on the northwest, while the Mancliesters, •with the Hampshires in reserve, a field company of the Royal Engineers, and two howitzers, followed the road which runs along the southern shore. ,Altogether about 300 officers and men were engaged in the operation. The following official report was issued in Enniskillen on Thursday night: "Orders weee received to discover whether forces from the Free State were still in occupation of the Bel - leak district. Orders were issued that Free State territory was not to be entered unless fire was opened on the troops while in Ulster territory. Means of water transport were ar- ranged, as 150 yards of the road en- tering I3elleek from the south were in Free State territory. The infantry were divided in -to two columns, one on eaeh side of Lough Erne. Armored cars were sent on ahead of these col- umns to reconnoitre. These were fired en from Free State territory while they were still in T.J1ster territory. The infantrytthen advanced from the North. Artillery shelled a ridge to the North, from which fire was being brought to bear on the northern col- umn, and Ohlre, which was the head- quarters of the forces occupying Bel - leek. The fire was very accurate and the enemy retired. "At 2 p.m. the columns eeterecl Bel - leek. Our casualties were one man of the Lincoln Regiment, who was slight- ly wounded. Those of the enemy are un,known, as no wounded were re- covered." A later despatch from Belfast says: -With the British occupation of Belleek, peace ruled along the Fer- managh border on Friday efternoon. The main body of the troops -engaged in the eperation passad through Ennis- killen mad returned to 'headquarters on Friday. • Refugees also were return- ing to 13elleek. On Level With Men.

A despatch from Paris says: -The Russian Bolshevilii, leaving no stone unturned in their wcrk of ferreting out Church treasures for cenfiscation, have violated the tombs of the Czars and Czarinas in St. Peter. and Ste Paul's Cathedral, Petrograd, says Le' Journal, quoting private advices from a reliable source. The tomb of the Czarina Anna Ivan- ovna, which is made of silver, was re- moved bodily, and the coffin of Cath- erine the Great was broken open and a necklace and rings of great value were taken. The Bolsheviki are de- clared to have even pried the lid from Peter the Great's coffin, but finding the leader marvellously preserved, were abashed, and darecl not strip it 01 its jewels.
