GIVE PEOPLE A VOICE. Proposal Made by Canadian Minister of Justice. PARIS, Feb. 3.—An international peoples' house of representatives, to be established in connection with the League of Nations, is a striking pro- posal contained in a memorandum submitted to the Peace Conference by Charles J. Doherty, Canadian Minis- ter of Justice, through the British League of Nations Commission, of which he is a member. Every nation in the world would be represented on this body, and the delegates would be representatives of the peoples themselves. This plan is to be presented to the Nations dele- gations in the Peace Conference. Mr. Doherty's view is that it would bas vital' mistake to declare at this time the principle that the interests of humanity are to be confined only to sovereign states. He believes that the present time is opportune to in- terest the peoples of the world di- rectly in methods for the prevention of war, and that the opportunity ought to be seized.' - The plans thus far suggested pro- vide for the constitution of judicial tribunals and for the exercise of exe- cutive powers by the Governments, especially the great powers.

One of the questions which the Council discussed was the gravity of the relations between Germany and Poland. The military danger with which Germany menaces Poland, it is felt, may threaten France later on: So far, it is declared, the Germans have turned a deaf ear to the injunc- tions of Marshal Posh in regard to the evacuation of territory claimed by the Poles. The Germans are hold- ing an army in readiness to march into Poland and are concentrating troops in the east. The War Council is resolved, ac- cording to an Exchange Telegraph Company despatch, to compel Ger- many to carry out the clauses of the armistice and in the renewal of the armistice on February 17 will prob- ably impose such. conditions that from the point of view of demobi- lization and disarmament all the dan- ger threatening Poland will be re- moved. It is declared in well-informed French quarters that in view of the German attitude toward the Poles, the Associated Powers may think it advisable to consider the question of the occupation of the port of Danzig and the railroad from Danzig to Thorn with allied and Polish forces. The Supreme War Council contirei ued its discussion of the terms for a renewal of the armistice Saturday. The following official communication - with respect to the negotiations was issued Sunday afternoon: "The Supreme War Council met Sunday from 3 to 5 o'clock at the Quai D'Orsay. The discussion of the terms of the renewal of the armistice was continued. The following reso- lution, proposed by President Wil- son, was approved: "First.—Under present conditions many questions not primarily of mili- tary character, which are arising daily and which are bound to become of increasing importance as time greater assurance of a general de- passes, should be dealt with on be - termination of the peoples of all half of the Allies by civilian represen- countries to maintain peaceful rela- tatives of -these Governments exper- ienced in such questions — finance, food, blockade control, shipping and raw materials. "Second.—To accomplish this, there shall be constituted at Paris a Supreme Economic Council to deal with such matters for the period of the armistice. The Council shall ab- sorb or replace all such other existing inter -allied bodies and their powers, as it may determine from time to time. The economic council shall con- sist of not more than five represen- tatives of each interested Govern- ment. "Third.—There shall be added to the present_International Permanent Armistice Commission two civilian re- presentatives of each Government, who shall consult with the Allied high command, but who may report direct to the Supreme Economic Council." The question of feeding Germany involving a partial raising of the blockade is said to be solved. An agreement is said to have been reach- ed between the Inter -Allied Food Commission and the newly consti- tuted Blockade Commission in con- junction with the Armistice Commis- sion sitting at Spa, for a supply of food not only to Germany but to Hol- land, and in the latter case the French will not only furnish transport but 'Journalists Organize Unions, escort, and America will furnish the food. The German attempt to lay down obstructive conditions for the use of Danzig as a port of entry for Polish food has been quickly over- come at Spa, and the Inter -Allied Supreme War Council will frame ad- ditional armistice terms to prevent any further essays of the same kind. There has been much alarmist writings in the French press about the recrudescence of German mili- tarism. On this point, Gen. Maurice, late Director of Military Operations of the British Army, said on Sunday that Germany has only two forces now effective for military operations, one at Danzig, the other on the Siles- ian border. All their armies else- where throughout Germany have fallen into complete disorganization and could not be reorganized again by anybody for years to come. France naturally feels nervous concerning her neighbor who attack- ed her treacherously and whose ill - will is not likely to be lessened by her now humiliated, condition, and this nervousness is at the root of French chariness in accepting a League of Natione, as adequate pro- tection in all circumstances. tions, if a body, mainly legislative in function and composed of repre- sentatives directly elected by the nations, great and small, were added to supplement the wink of these judicial and executive bodies. In such an assembly the principal powers would be those of inquiry and legislation, taking the form of re- commendations of sovereign states. The necessity so far insisted upon of equal representation would dis- appear, the members assigned to each country conforming rather to such considerations as influence the distribution of seats in any legisla- tive assembly.

ODESSA, Feb. 3.—It is reported that Leon Trotsky, the Bolshevist Minister of War and Marine, has ar- rived at Kharkov, and is exhorting Bolshevist regiments to invade fur- ther the Ukraine.

MONTREAL, Feb. 3. — Following a meeting of the French journalists of this city when a Newspapermeu's Union was formed, the English- speaking journalists met at the Windsor Hotel on Saturday and the suggestion that they form a union was carried after some discussion.

Labor Congress to Meet In Dublin. DUBLIN, Feb. 3.—A Labor Con- gress has been summoned for next week to meet in the Mansion House here to demand a universal 44 -hour week at wages 150 per cent. above pre-war rates, with a minimum of 50 shillings (approximately $12.50) weekly for all workers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—A cloV-. srly-organized propaganda, the pur- pose of which is to estrange the American people and their Govern- ment from the peoples and Govern- ments of the nations with which the United States is associated in the war, is in operation in the United States, according to United States Senators who discussed the subject Saturday. Great Britain is the na- tion which is being principally attack- ed, and every pro -German agency, backed by such anti-British elements as the Sinn Fein, is actively partici- pating in the agitation, the purpose of which is to create distrust in this country, and, if possible, to bring about a rupture of the relations be- tween Washington and London. There is also a somewhat less active propaganda directed against the French. Statements that these propagan- dists were at work'were made in the Senate by Senator King of Utah, Senator Wadsworth of New York, Senator Overman of North Carolina, Senator Poindexter of Washington, Senator McCumber of North Dakota, Senators Knox and Penrose of Penn- sylvania, and other Senators of equal prominence. Senator King bluntly asserted that the agitation was of German and Sinn Fein origin, and should be ex- posed in the interests of both Amer- ica and of Britain. Senator Poin- dexter and Senator Wadsworth plac- ed the propaganda at the doors of the enemy, as did other Senators repre- senting both of the great parties and all sections of the country. HOSTILITIES MUST CEASE. Allies Endeavor to Arrange Russian Conference. PARIS, Feb. 10.—No official an- nouncement has been made since the receipt of the Bolshevist acceptance to the invitation to the Princes' Is- lands conference as to what further steps have been taken to secure a more complete understanding of the conditions under which the confer- ence will be held. It is understood, however, that the French Govern- ment, which originally transmitted the invitation through its wireless service, has since been trying to get an agreement that hostilities will cease all over Russia and adjacent countries, including Archangel, be- fore the conference assembles. Other- wise, it is said, the Entente Govern- ments will not consent to colder with the Soviet representatives. Decision on this question is expect- ed. In the meantime, American com- missioners to the conference are planning to leave next week. The Ukrainian Soviet Government has announced that it is willing to accept the invitation of the Allies to the proposed Marmora conference of Russian factions, according to the Temps, but it considers the date fix- ed, February 15, too near at hand. The anti -Bolshevist Governments of Russia are apparently firm in de - dining to participate in the Princes' Islands conference. Nicholas Tschai- kovsky, President of the Provisional Government of Northern Russia, told the Associated Press that he and his Government had decided not to go. Sergius Sazonoff, representing the Denekine, Kolchak and Don Govern- ments, reiterated his refusal to par- ticipate in the conference. JUDGE RAPS ONTARIO, Absentees Under M. S. A. Lightly Treated In Quebec. QUEBEC, Feb. 10.—Absentees un- der the Military Service Act are still flocking to the police court at Que- bec to pay their light fine and escape any later punishment for their shrinking from the duty of reporting for military service. Saturday again a large number of them appeared before the Police Court. After imposing upon all of them fines runnings from $5 to $10, Judge Charles Langelier of the Police Court talked on the criticism that comes from Ontario because the ab- sentees are too generously dealt with in this section of the province. "I hear," said Judge Langelier, "that in Ontario there reigns a dis- satisfaction because the absentees here are liberated after paying a light fine. It seems that the sentiment out there asks that absentees be sent to the penitentiary. We do not feel that way. We judge different cases according to the facts of the case and also according to the dictates of our conscience. We are not to be guided by the conscience of the judges in Ontario." "Absentees are classified in three categories, according to the gravity of the offence of each, and according to the particular situation of each absentee. It must be understood that not all absentees stand in the same light. Some of them are more or less guilty, and consequently each individual case must be dealt with differently, according to its own par- ticular circumstances. "In Ontario this seems to be poorly understood. And this is not the only thing that is not understood there." Burn Wilson In Effigy. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. — The militant branch of the suffragettes had a stormy time of it Sunday on the eve of the vote in the Senate to determine whether the question of submitting the giving of nation-wide suffrage to women shall be placed before the state legislators. President Wilson was burned in effigy in front of the White House, after a demonstration by a number Of women, who charge that the President is to blame because he has not swayed the recalcitrant Senators to his Will and thus assured victory for the cause.

Cause, Symptoms and Cure of Ring- worm Explained—As It Is Very Contagious the Stockman Must Take Great Precautions to Pre- vent Its Spread. feontributed by Ontario Department pf Agriculture, Toronto-) OSTLY everybody who is keeping poultry wants to get eggs in winter. Gener- ally speaking, the number of eggs gradually goes down from week to week from September tc January and then there is a slow but gradual increase until March, April and May, which in Ontario are the best months for egg production. It is unusual, and in most case: very unwise, to publish figures in re- gard to experiments until the ma- terial has been very thoroughly test- ed, but in this particular case, con- sidering the high cost of feeds and the general scarcity of new laid eggs, we are giving the figures on a rather short test of but four weeks' dura- tion. The results appear to be gen- erally true in all pens tested and are in accord with results obtained else- where. The increase in egg yield has been obtained by the use of electric lights, or prolonging the day. The facts of the matter appear to be that a hen's crop is too small a reservoir to hold sufficient feed for the long night. A hen, to lay, must have a surplus of feed over and above that required for body maintenance. In these particular trials, the re- sults of which are given below, the - lights were turned on at dusk and were turned off at nine o'clock at night. The birds get their first feed in the morning at seven o'clock and a few dull mornings require lights for about one hour. The usual feed of grain given at about four to five o'clock in,the after- noon is missed or only a handful or two of grain is given to twenty-five birds, simply to keep them moving a little. The full feed is given at about eight o'clock. The following, results have been secured: - No. of birds. 00 &I 4 g 03 Di 11) • 1:13 4' 5 ca 0 3 t,00 ba bo to .04to to 00 to 1-4 00 CO CD to CO Di CO D.4 0 to 0 0 00 VD to tO CD 00 CO Di CC 110 1-1 e•1 ei • th 07 02 CD VI .

There are many people keeping poultry who have no electric, lights. Fair to good results have been se- cured elsewhere by using ordinary barn lanterns. The danger of nre when using lanterns is materially in- creased. We have not tested these as yet but hope to have them under way soon. Fdr electric lighting we use three ordinary bulbs for a pen of one hundred birds, or one light in a twenty-five bird pen.—Prof. R. W. Graham, 0. A. College, Guelph. Ringworm. Ringworm is a contagious disease to which all classes of animals, and man, are subject. Calves and young cattle appear to be more susceptible to the trouble than other animals, but no age ren- ders an animal immune. It is purely a skin disease, and is due to the presence of a vegetable parasite, which is readily capable of being con- eeyed from one animal to another by direct contact, the hands of the at- tendant, pails, stable utensils, cloth- ing, harness, saddles, blankets, the contact of one animal with the stalls„ etc., of affected animals, etc. In like manner, curry -combs, brushes, rub- bing cloths, etc., that are used on affected animals of any class, if used on other animals, become a fertile cause of infection. Symptoms.—While any part of the animal may be the seat of the dis- ease, the skin around the eyes and of the face, and on the neck and back, appears to be the favorite seat. The first symptom shown is usual- ly an itchiness, which is followed by a slight form of eruption, which soon assumes the appearance of little yel- lowish scales of a circular form, the mass scales forming a circular space, hence the term "ringworm." A var- iable number of these circular patches may be noticed on different parts of the body. Treatment.—It is necessary that great care be taken to avoid the con- veyance of the virus from the dis- eased to healthy animals. Where practicable, it is well to remove all non-infected animals to non-infected premises. The infected premises should be disinfected by thotemgh- ly sweeping and dusting, and then, giving a thorough coat of an insecti- cide, as a hot 1,0 per cent of one of the coal tar antiseptics or carbolic acid, or a coat of hot lime wash with 5 per cent. carbolic acid. Local treatment consists in mois- tening the scales with Warm water and soap, or sweet oil, removing them in order to expose the unprotected t4 urfaceg of the affected areas, An insecticide, ati tincture of Wirt should be applied once or twice d Until cured, J It IL 04
