Divided Russia.
Russia was the mast conspicuous ab-
sentee at Paris. She was hopelessly
divided and distracted by civil war.
Lenine and other anarchist agitators
had been sent in sealed ears through
Germany from Switzerland two years
and a half ago by the Kaiser's govern-
ment with the avowed purpose of de-
bauching the new republic, and did
them work well, After overthrowing
Kerensky they set up Soviet rule, ter-
rorizing the people by wholesale mur-
der. Theiraim is economic and politi-
cal revolution throughout the world,
and they have many followers in vari-
ous colantrias. They would gladly
make peace with any nation and then
proceed to debauch it. The chief dan-
ger from them is that they may maks
an alliance with Germany.
Many. Russian factions were repre-
sented at Paris during the sessions
of the conference, but, of course, could
not be admitted. Poland, however,
was an exception, for she constantly
fought against German reaction and
Russian terrorism and became a mem-
ber of the conference and the League
of Nations. Finland was another coun-
try that achieved independence of Rus-
sia, and finally succeeded ie. throwing
off German dictation, after havingpro-
misd'd to accept a king at the hands
of the Kaiser. There are more women
in the Finnish Legislature than in..
any other in the w irld. Finland has.
been recognized by many countries,
but did not taka part in the peace con-
ference and was not invited to join
the league.
Besides Poland and Finland, there
were seventeen other alleged repub-
lics that sprang up out of the ruins of
Russia. Chief among them were the
three Baltic. States of Esthonia, Livon-
ia and Lithuania, with whom the Bol-
sheviki are trying to make peace. t
and east of Lithuania are the 'White
Russians. In the,. Don country is the
Cossack government, with General
Denildne at its head. He had great
success in driving the Bolsheviks
north, freeing his own Iand and also
the Ukraine until Geneial Putlura at-
tacked his left flank between the
Dniester and the Dnieper, while the
Red armies advanced against him on
the 'Volga.
The Caucasus region is full of rival
communities, the Kuban republic,
Georgia, the , Tereks and part oe Ar
menia, with . Turkestan further east
and Bashkir on the north, while in the
Crimea the Tauride republic had a
brief existence. In North-eastern Si..
beria was the Yakutsk republic, while
the Siberian republic was the largest
-of all, with a President and National
Assembly, which were ousted by Ad.
'm,ralKofohate, who called himself the
All-Itussiat government. All the
smaller . States were constanly chang-
ing boundaries and allegiances and
were evidently ephemeral in charac-
ter. There was no real Russia left, .a
very good reason why she could not
be admitted to the peace conference.
Eight Notated States.
There are eight states which took
no part in the war and have not been
invited to loin the League of Nations.
Two are in Africa—Abyssinia, which
sent a mission to Washington after
the war and announced sympathy for
the AIlies, and Morocco, now under
French protection: Two are in Asia-
Oman, under British protection, and
Afghanistan, which tried to stir up a
revolt in India and failed, Two are
in Europe --Luxemburg, which the
Germans occupied, and Albania, whose
disposition has not been determined.
Two are in North America, Mexico and
Costa Rica.
Of t' xe remaining forty-five govern-
ments the following thirteen, which
ook no part in the war, have been in-
vited to join the League—Argentina,
Chili, Colombia, Denmark, Holland,
Norway, Paraguay, Persia, Salvador,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Vene-
zuela. This leaves thirty-two states
taking part in the Peace Conference.
China declined to sign the treaty and
the United States rejected it, 'With-
out China, with her population of 320,-
650,000; Russia, with 166,750,000, and
Rival Republics.
In the south there is the Ukraine,
which first 'splie off from Russia under
German auspices and is half Bolshe-
vist. General Petlura, the, Ukrainian
commander, has been subsidized by
funds from Germany, recateing money
by aeroplane quite recently: If she
finally remains independent. Ukrainia
would be the largest of the Russian
States, with a population of 30,000,000.

urged that the principal as well as the

The trustees of the Rockefeller

their gift, in. eonneetiian with which
Mr Rockefeller added that if the
board "should see fit to use any part
of this new gift in promoting g medical
education in Canada, such action
would meet with my cordial approval,"
Such action will be taken, according
to Dr. George 1l. Vincent, president of
the Foundation, who stated that the
trustees would be asked to set asi
$5,000,000 for this purpose, •
an asserting $5,000,000 would be
set aside for Canadian wheals, Dr.
Vincent said:
"From this sum appropriations will
be made by the Foundation to medical
schools ozi condition that they r-aise
additional funds from other sources'.
,It is heped that $5,000,000 thus enc-
pioefed by the Foundation at this time
will give a distinct impetus to the de-
velopment of medical education in
Canada.
"The new gift will also enable the
Foundation to extend work already

and public health in many parts of the
world."

'The United Farm Women.
In introduoing to our readers the
work of this Farm Organization as it
concerns us women, we thought the
first thing you would like all to •have
an idea of is, who are wear?
Itis really too bad that more of the
175,000 women of Ontario could not
have met at this great convention, but
wei'11 do our best to . get aegt}ai;rt
this' way.
There were at least 150 inen 1
present, and visitors besides, and ea
group they were to vehicle one was
proud to belong.
It2rs, Brodie, the President, Is an
ideal farm woman. Her interest and
work for our U.F.W.0., has never
made her any less the good wife and
mother, and she has all the dignity
and •ease in her public work that we
country women used to think belonged
only to the women of the town. We
know better now, No class has more
ability than we of the farm possess.
The trouble is we have only begun to
reafize that fact, much less to develop
