"The minutes of the Sail Remo co ferenco contain a declaration by X'r mi:el'"'•1ii1leraild to the effect that th French Government and the vast ma ority of the French people are oppose to' the policy el' annexing Germa territory, I attach enormous impor ante to this." Premier Lloyd George made th striking statement in his speech i the House of • Commons in which h explained how differences had ar:se between Britain and France, how the were conciliated, and what the allie decided at their Italian rendezvous, The speech proved a notabi triumph for the Prime Minister, II was cheered to the echo from al sections of the House. In part, th speech was a reply to Lorcl North cliffe's charge that the Premier wa becoming friendly with Germany a France's expense. Mr. Lloyd Georg denounced the newspaper king as "a reckless person fomenting trouble.' -Most of what the Premier said was identical with his various statements at San Remo. He reiterated that Eng- land was just as determined as were her allies to enforce the Treaty of 1Tersaillcs. Speaking of the allied • t - tile 'United States to accept the man- n-; date for .Armenia, he said: e,-.1 "It ;twelves the employment of a e very strong and well-trained military force, as it necessitates the conquest d • of territories, n "England, France and Italy are un- able to shoulder the burden. The course whiell we adopted was to appeal to is the United States, who have not ac - n' cepted any share in the responsibil- e ities for civilizing those. areas of n, Turkish territory and in 'protecting y, the poor Christian pbpulation up to s' the present, but I hope will do so. I "1 am convinced they have real o sympathy, which is sincere and cap- e able of making sacrifices. 1'' 'If the United States do not re- s spend to our appeal, we ask President - Wilson to arbitrate the boundaries of s Armenia. W e would not carry it any t further. Anieeican representatives, e were present at the conferences, but they had no authority to participate." In conclusion, the Premier empha- sized that Great Britain had sur- mounted her post-war difficulties much better than any other country. He added that Europe was still strugt gling, although "the gaping wounds are healing, and San Remo marked a tea le invitation to distinct stage in the convalescence?'

Nf Ft W Seeding is General Throughout Manitoba A despatch from Winnipeg says:- "Seed:ng has become general through- out the Province, and the farmers are working at top speed," Hon. Valentine Winkler, Minister of Agriculture, stated on Thursday. Mr. Winkler said that the recent good weather had per- mitted the farmers to get away to a good start, and that they were looking forward to a very good crop. There would be plenty of moisture in the ground this year, 110 said, :because of the fact that the spring thaw had been slow and most of the water had been absorbed` instead of running away. The Minister gave the impression that the late .spring had not delayed seeding to a material de- gree, stating that the conclusion of the seeding period for Manitoba grains was May 15 for wheat; oats, June 1; barley, June 10 to 15, and flax, June 26. There was still plenty of y- time for seeding,'he said.

Jitnir after a short fight, Here the smashing victory by the Poles over the Russian Reds ,iso announced by the Polish 'General .Staff. After victoriously repulsing all Bolshevist attacks in the past six weeks, the Polish army launched vast counter -offensive on April 25 in Volhynia and Podolia. Under the supreme command of General Piisud- ski, the Poles on the first day of the offensive defeated the left wing of the Red army, capturing the towns of Ovracz, Kromnz and Codnow. The next day, vigorously pursuing the routed Reds, General Pilsudski took 58th Infantry Division and the 17th Cavalry Division of the Red Army absolutely were annihilated. Many prisoners and vast stocks of war material, including 160 loeotnoe tives and 2,000 cars, fell into the hands of the Poles on the line of the Jaltuyslove N,icclwee Squad. General Pilsudsisi launched the offensive,, which he Is continuing victoriously, on receiving information that the Reds were concentrating strong reinforce- ments in order to renew the attack. The Bolshevist plan has been com- pletely frustrated by General Pilsud- ski's plan. The Need of the Times God give us men!

A Prayer in Spring. Let me not live too long to be In love with the wild heart of spring, So long I shall not care to see How fair is Maytime's burgeoning; So dull my nostrils shall not thrill With odors of moist, upturned sod, Soft green things starting leave me • still Unmoved of miracle of God. Let me not live too long to be In tune with life's fresh burst of song, So old its charmed minstrelsy Shall to another world belong; Let not my eyesight grow so dim I shall not glory to behold Sky, cloud, leaf, flower and budding limb Unveil their blue and white and gold. Let me not live too long to be A part of the tense joy of spring, The glad adventure, strong and free, That comes to every living thing, - So gray of soul love's sweet emprise Stirs me no more than shadowed stone, And I forget in mating eyes Lies mirrored all that May hath known.

Pew people know why it is possible to reproduce the vocal or instrumental art of a great artist with the faithful- ness of the modern phonograph. In the first place; it should be remembered that sound waves gradually diminish in: volume if released in a large space of air, just as the ripples caused by tossing a pebble into a still pool grad- ually become smaller. The "record" Consists of one long groove having indentations of varying sizes in it to represent the sound waves to•be reproduced. These small indentations are either in the bottom or sides of the groove, At the begin niug and end of the groove there ar no indentations, as it is desirable t have a space for the stylus to run in until it can be removed from the re cord, if finishing playing, and when starting the record it .is desirable to place the stylus in the groove before any of the indentations are reached. As soon as the stylus or needle is placed in the groove of the revolving record, only a slight hissing sound is produced until the sound indentations axe reached. As soon as the stylus strikes these tiny obstacles vibrations are set up which are conducted to the centre of the diaphragm of the repro- ducer. Then, just as the ripples of water roll away from the spot where the stone struck, the vibrations spread throughout the reproducing mem- brane, recreating the original sounds, although in a reduced volume. The revolving of the record at an even speed causes the vibrations to follow each other in their proper order.

An American who went to Esth.onia, • as agent of the Allied powers writes in the Atlantic Monthly that Bolshevik officers are never taken alive, Art Esthonian general who was asked why there were no officer prisoners produced from his pocket a sheet of paper, says the writer, that had beers taken the night before from the body of a dead soviet captain.
