Wind Up the Matter of Reparations. . A despatch from London says;—A definite agreement and program for finally firing the amount of Germany's indemnity to the Alliea has been :agreed to in the course of rt confer- ence held here. Allied Ilrr.tncia1 ex- perts will meet in a final eonferenee in Brussels on Monday, Dee. 13, to examine the German proposals and will innmedeateiy report back to their own Governments. Secondly, there will be a conference of the Allied ex - pelts with the Germans, This con- ference probably will not be in Ce- ' neve., us Wes originally intended. Then the Allied experts will eon• er' with the Reparations Commission in the :tight of the result's of the pre- eacius COleer n es and the evidence of "Geremey'e ability to lay." Follow. ing this, the Supreme Council will hold what it is hoped will be the final • meeting in this connection, to inform Germany of what has been decided upon a.s to the amount of reparations, time M payment a it, etc., and to settle the, Fen:Aloes whereby the pay - meets will be enforced, according to • the Spa agreement. Protest Payments to Former German Emperor A despatch from Berlin says : —The Tageblatt hears that Great Britain and France have decided to send a protest to the German Government against payments being made to the former German Emp- eror. Recent Berlin despatches reported that the former Ger- man Emperor had received from Germany nearly. 100,- 000,000 marks since his flight from that country to Holland. How Big Is a Man? When we were reminded that it i tot passible by taking thought to ad cubits to one's stature, the trenchan saying might have been taken as rebuke to conceit. A man may no be so big as he thinks he is. There is little room in the world to -day for small men—the space i reserved for the big ones. And th latter are not significant by virtue of their self assertion. Those who run about clamorous and insistent for recognition, hurt because notice is not taken, are likely- to be the last to de- serve it. Mr. Choate (in the Life by E. S. Martin) is a little surprised vrhen he meets the great scientists, Kelvin and Rayleigh, to find how hu- manly herr ble-minded they are. Of course—because they are wise men. They have so much wisdom that they now how inconscpicuovs the "great- est" man alive is before the wonder of Nature and the providence of God. The voice dose. rot a.;t: ye racy for Mere shouting.

A despatch from Paris says:—A telegram from Constantinople to the French. Foreign Ministry received on Thursday states that, according to in- formation from Angora, a peace be- tween Armenia and the Turkish Na- tionalists was signed at Alexandropol during the night of December 2-3. All Armenian arms are to be handed over to the Turkish National- ists, except 1,500 rifles, 20 machine- guns and three cannon. Armenian territory is to be reduced to the dis- trict, Erivan and Lake Gokcha, and will not include tie fortresses of Kars and Alexandropol. A Bolshevist wireless message at the sante tune announces that a Erivan and that accord will be made A despatch from Landon says:— Switzerland is the newest field where- from Ontario is drawing immigrants. This news is taken as the text of a note in the semi-official Temps ex- plaining away reported differences between the French Foreign Ministry Agent -General Greeiman will leave and M.

IT • hundred Danish dairy farmer applica- tions are being eonsidered. The Pro- vincial Government is assisting immi- grants from both countries, but the proposed Ontario campaign in Nor- way and Sweden has been deferred owing to unexpected opposition. The total number of emigrants already accepted to sail for Ontario in the spring is nearly 400. Applications natural that France should wish to average about 2,000 weekly, but a give it support. small percentage only is suitable.

If the truth were only known it would be found that half the ills of life are caused by constipation, for when . the bowels cease to work properly all the organs of the body become deranged. A free motion of the bowels, every day, hould be the rule of everyone who spires to perfect health. Keep your bowels regular by the use of Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills,and you will have no constipation, no ilious or sick eadaohes, or any other troubles arising rom a wrong action of the liver or bowels. Mrs. G. Brown, Lewisville N.B., writes:—"I .have been troubled for ears with •-constipation, and trying various so-called remedies, which did me ne good whatever, 1 was persuaded by a "end to try Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills. hey have done me worlds of good.

Japan to Return Shantung to China A despatch from Geneva says : --Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Ambassador t.i Gt. Britain, and head of the Jap- anese delegation to the League Assembly, informed the cor- respondents . on . Thursday evening that. japan was get- ting ready to hand back the Province of Shantung to China, but was unable to get China to open negotiations. He added that the only condi- tion Japan makes is that Kiao- Chau shall remain open to for- eign trade. Baron Hayashi thought that China's refusal to negotiate was due to the fact that public opinion had been falsified by the military party. Scientists to Travel By Airplane A despatch' -from Ottawa says:— If plans now under consideration by the Dominion Air Board are matured, Canadian geologists who every sum- mer make arduous trips to far north- ern regiions to carry on field work, will next summer be spared much effort and saved several weeks of valuable time by being carried in air- planes. The first attempt to utilize the flying machines for this practical purpose will be made in the Mackenzie River basin and the flight will prob- ably he from Peace River landing, in Northern Alberta, to Fort Norman. The man to advocate the air route for geologists was Dr. Alfred Thomp- son, member for the Yukon, who dis- cussed the time -saving possibilities of this plan in the House of Commons two years ago. Use for Happiness. A school teacher said to her boys: "Now, I am going to give to each of you three buttons. You must think of the first as representing life, the second liberty, and the third happi- ness. In three days I want you to pro- uce these buttons and tell me what they stand for." On the appointed clay the teacher asked ono of the pupils for the but- tons. "I ain't got 'em all," he sobbed. "Here's life and here's liberty, but me other went and sewed happiness on e trousers." The fall fur hunt vin the Canadian North has been a dismal failure. Mild weather and the low prices contribute to the non-success of the hunt. Hun- dreds of Indians turned to fishing in. - stead, and reports from the fishing, grounds say the catch outstrips the past several years by a wide margin. White -fish are principally caught and for the first time sturgeon fishing is being done in the Churchill River at Puckatawagan, _._.* City of Danzig Has Parliament :A. despatch from Beri,in Says:—The rn Constituent Assembly of Danzig has m• proclaimed itself the Parliament of the free city, under the title of "Volkstag," with powers to enact legislation until 1923. A majority of the Socialists, Inde- pendent Socialists and Poles voted against this decision, and then left the hall, taking no fuether part in the proceedings. Dr. Sahm, the former Burgomaster, has been elected Preident of the Senate, and is thus the first President of the free city of Danzig.
