To Solve ;Canada's
•
aY�
•
ent Problem
EVERYONE in Canada should understand just what
the Government is doing to solve the .unemployment
problems that may arise through the demobilization of
g
our fighting forces.
VrI:
(1) Employment Offices.
' So that everyone—male or
female, soldier or civilian—can
get;' quickly such:- jobs '!,:.'are
available the Government" is co-
operating with the Provinces in
establishing a chain of Public
' Employment Offices. Employ-
ers are being urged to make use
of these offices to secure any
$25,000,000 to be loaned through
the Provinces to encourage the
building of workmen's houses.
This will mean much new work
in the spring.
(3) Land and Loans for Soldiers'
To help soldiers become far-
mers the Government has de-
veloped a programme that
includes the providing of land,
the granting of loans, and the
training and supervision of
those inexperienced in farming
At present, the soldier is grant-
ed, free, in addition to his or-
dinary homestead right, one
quarter -section of Dominion _
lands. He also receives a loan
up to the maximum of $5.),,500.
These originalplans are now
being broadened. If Parliament
pa'ssies the new proposals° during
;this session, the Soldier Settle-
ment Board will be able to buy
suitable land and re -sell it to.
the soldier at cost.
Land up to the value of
$5,000 may be bought by this
plan—the money to be repaid
in 20 years. The low interest
rate of 5 per cent. will be
charged. These new proposals'
will also permit the Soldier
Settlement Board' to loan the
soldier -farmer up to $2,500 for
purchasing equipment, etc., in
addition to $5,000 loan on his
farm.
help they need. Farmers, for.
_ example, who need hired men
should apply to the nearest
office. There will be a Public
` Employment Office in every
. town of 10,000 people—and
wherever the needfor one exists.
There will be 60 different offices
in all—one-half are already in
operation

LEADER LAID TO REST
Last Sad Rites to Sir Wilfrid
Laurier.
Prominent ' Men From All Parts of
the Country Were In Ottawa to
Attend the Funeral of the Former
Prime Minister of Canada. -Men
of All Parties United to Honor
Memory.
OTTAWA, Feb. 24.—With all the
honors which the state could bestow,.
with the most magnificent ceremon-
ial which the Roman Catholic Church.
ordains for such occasions and ac-
companied by thousands of Canada's
most prominent men, the body of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier was laid to rest in
Notre Dame Cemetery here Saturday,
Probably in all its history the capital
has not witnessed so Impressive a
gathering of leaders from all parts of
the' country and in all walks of life,
nor such sincere mourning for one of
her great sons. Business throughout
the city was practically suspended
while the funeral was in progress and
crowds everywhere lined the route of
the procession from the Victoria Mu-
seum, where the remains of the de-
parted statesman,tladeain lite state in„
the Senate .Chamber, to the Basilica
on Sussex street where the solemn
high mass' was sung by Monsignor
Pietro di Maria, the Papal Delegate
in Canada, with Monsignor Routhier,
vicar -general of the diocese of Ot-
tawa, as priest assistant, Canons
Campeau and Plantin as deacon and
subdeacon of honor' and Father May -
rand, of St. Ann's Church, as deacon
of ()flee.
The scene in the Basilica was one
of solemn grandeur. The fane, com-
pletely filled by those entitled to ad-
mission, was heavily hung with black
and gold draperies. The catafalque,
with its gilded pillars was veiled with
the same colors, surmounted by long
streamers which ' were gathered near
the roof into a golden crown and
formed a lofty canopy. Candelabra
bearing scores of lighted tapers sur-
rounded the catafalque. • The entire
sanctuary was walled with black and
gold cloth upon which shone a huge
golden cross above the high altar.
Half -an hour before the arrival of
the funeral procession the galleries
were filled with ticket holders and a
' great crowd blocked the approaches
to the church. The tolling of the old
cathedral chimes heralded the slow
approach of the funeral proces-
sion and the clergy filled the sanc-
tuary. In addition to the celebrant
and his assistants, deacons and sub -
deacons, all the parish clergy of Ot-
tawa and many visiting prelates and
representatives of religious orders
were present. The black and gold
vestments of the officiating priests,
the crimson of several bishops from
distant dioceses, the pure white garb
of the Mitred Abbot, of Oka, head
of the Trappist order, and the brown
and black' and white habits of Fran-
ciscans and' Dominicans, added
touches of color to the sombre back-
ground of the scene.
The coffin, escorted by the honor-
ary pall -bearers, was received at the
door by Rev. Father Laflamme, cure
of the Sacred Heart Church, which
Sir Wilfrid Laurier attended, and
two acolytes who preceded it to the
catafalque, where it rested under the
guard of four attendants throughout
the service.
The service was a full pontifical
High Mass followed by the funeral
rites. The music of the mass, com-
posed by the Abbe Perosi, was beau-
tifully sung by the choir, and at its
conclusion Joseph Saucier sang
Schubert's plaintive "Adieu."
Then were heard the addresses of
the occasion, by Archbishop Olivier
Matehieu of Regina, who spoke in
French, and Rev. Feather John
Burke, director of Newman Hall,
Toronto, who used the English lan-
guage.
The funeral procession left the Vic-
toria Museum sharp at 10 o'clock,
after the casket had been placed in
the hearse by eight stalwart members
of the Dominion Police Force, who
then took the place in front. The
honorary pall -bearers walked on eith-
er side of the hearse. They were:
Sir Thomas White, acting Prime Min-
ister; Sir James Lougheed, leader of
the Senate; Sir Lamer Gouin, Pre-
mier of Quebec; Sir Allen, Ayles-
worth, Sir William Mulock, Hon.
Frank Oliver, Hon. Rodolphe Lem-
ieux, Hon. Charles Murphy, Hon.
Sydney Fisher, Jacques Bureau, M.P.,
Senators Davis, Belcourt, Dandurand
and Edwards, J. A. Robb, M.P., and
Mayor Lavigueur, 1Vi.P., of Quebec.
The cortege was preceded by eight
draped carriages, loaded with hun-
dreds of floral tributes, which at-
tracted
ttracted the attention of the thou-
sands of people who lined the streets.
There was no attempt made on the
part of the authorities either to po-
lice the route, yet there was not the
slightest disorder. Every head was
bared as all that was mortal of the
late Liberal leader was borne to his
last resting -place. While it took the
funeral procession forty minutes to
pass a given point, it was transcend-
ed, as a tribute to the memory of
the departed statesman, by the silent
homage rendered by the multitude.
The hearse, flanked by the honor-
ary pall -bearers, was followed by the
chief mourners, relatives and inti-
mate friends of Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
Then came his Excellency the Gov-
ernor-General seated in the vice -regal
carriage, with Col. the lion. Harold
Henderson, his military secretary,
and the Earl of Minto. The former
Governor-General, H.R.H. the Duke
of Connaught, was represented by
Maj. -Gen. Gwatkin, chief of the Gen-
eral Staff. Then came lieutenant -
governors of provinces, prominent
among whom was Sir Charles Fitz-
patrick, of Quebec. In order followed
prominent clergy, Protestant and
Roman Catholic, members of the
Dominion. Cabinet, who were all
present, the Speaker of the Senate,
Chief Justice Sir Louis Davies, of the
Supreme Court of Canada; chief jus-
tires of other courts; members of the
Privy Council, Senators, etc. In all
about five thousand representative
men walked behind the hearse. They
came from every part of the Dom-
inion from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

covered by the policy on lots 9 and10,
or by the By-law, and dismissed the
action. Mr. Best appeared for the
plaintiff and F. Hoimested for the de
fen dant.
