Canada's Veterans to Join Empire League skin alone weighing 100 E 3h il• ds and aneasurin 12 feet A report will be submitted proving er and Lord Reber•! Gee that Europe is now spending more on armaments than in 1913, and this not- withsnendizng that Germany, Austria- Iiunfary and Bulgaria are practically disowned, and despite the Washington Disarmament Conference and all the League of Nations labors. In League circles here the allega- tion against America is that she is the largest vendor of farms and am- munition, and sells these especially to eountriee where slavery still per- ists, thus snaking it impossible for civilized countries to ;abolish, it. As for the lessening of European armaments, France has persistently put obstacles in the way of the League's Armaments Commission, A. despatch from London says:--(' The Canadian high Commissioner has been approached by the British Em- pire Service League with the objeet of having the veterans' organizations of Canada become merabers of the league' and appoint a permanent delegate. Canada is the only Dominion which has not joined the league, which iii eludes all the ex -service lien's organ- izations of Great Britain and the Empire. Lord Haig is chief organizer. All the different veterans' bodies in Britain are now uniting as the British Legion. Reparations Instalment Paid by Germany A despatch from Paras says; --- Germany has paid the regular month- ly instalment of fifty million gold marls for reparations. Deposits ag- gregating that amount were made in the designated banks in Paris, London and Brussels. BRITISH EXPLORERS WITHIN 1,800 FEET OF THE ROOF OF THE WORLD A despatch from London says:— Three of the British explorers who are attempting to climb Mount Ever- est have established a slew record. Less than a week ago it was an- nounced that one party of three had reached a height of 26,800 feet, which was 2,200 feet better than the climb the Duke of Abruzzi accomplished. The new record now achieved by an- other party of three, and reported in a despatch copyrighted by the Mount Everest Committee through the Lon- don Times, is 400 feet higher and brings the climbers within 1,800 feet of the top of the world. Mount Everest, if conquered at all,. must be conquered before the end of June. At this time the southwest winds and monsoon begin to impinge on the eastern. Himalayas and they are so heavily charged with moisture that in one month as much rain falls on and around Mount Everest as falls in London in ten months. Han. Charles Bruce, who, with George Finch, has made this wonder- ful record, has devoted a lifetime to mountaineering and its problems.

They told Lenin there was not, a single decent sanatorium in Russia,; and recommended several in Gerreany,! one of which is in a suburb of Berlin. Lenin accepted the ;physicians' ulti- matum of a six months' rest, and ne- gotiations for his visit to Germany are under way. The chief question is bis'. safety, and the sanatorium will be required to keep a battalion of guards during his visit, Steel Airplane Lighter Than Wood .A, despatch from London says: --In seeking to devise an airplane which will be impervious to shrapnel and ma- chine gun bullets and yet will be. speedy the Air Ministry has produced a steel fighting machine which it claims is superior to any all metal machines yet produced. Experiments have been conducted at the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough for a considerable per- iod and the planes are now being sub- mitted to severe practical tests. The wings as well as the fuselage are. built of corrugated steel. The main difficulty was to produce a fighting plane which would not be heavier than the wood machines, but it is stated that this has been successfully ac- complished without loss of power. The machines are easy to manage and can safely make a loop. Authorities re- gard this as a big step forward in air warfare. British House Passes Daylight -Saving Bill A despatch from London says:— The House of 'Commons passed the Summertime Bill by a vote of 207 to 26. The bill beings Great Britain into Elie with other European countries in permanently fixing a daylight-saving period. Flag of Wales Flies When Premier is Halm A despatch from London says:— The admirers of Premier Lloyd, George in his home town of Criceieth now regard him to be such an import- ant personality in the country's attain' that they extend him a distinction ac corded only to the King. Waren the'. Pr iue Minister stepped off the train for the week and a. flag was hoisted on Castle Hilt bearing the Red Dragon of Wales on a green and white bark - ground. when he departed the ling was taken down. It is stated that in the fatere Eiao flag will always fly when the Prirne Minister Is in his residence at Bryn- awelon so the people when seeing the hag will say: "Tho Prime Minister fa here." Primo Ministers constitutionally have every right to have a flag flown where they are stopping, but for reery years the ceremony has been observed only for tate King. Friends of Mr. Lloyd George say he accepts the ,flag ceremony as a touching tribute of: friendship from the home town fele Sometimes we take vengeance for our evil thoughts or actions 'by tyrannizing those around us. The United. States Government, it is stated on high authority, has and will have no unofficial observer at The Hague meeting on Russian affairs.

A New Course in Household Science, Following out its policy of provid- ing every course of study for which there is a reasonable demand and of prev'ding suoh instruction that Can- adian students will not require to go out of Canada for any part of their education, the University of Toronto announces a new course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Household Science, This new course has been designed primarily* for the benefit of women teachers who wish to proceed ,to a degree in Household Science with- out discontinuing their teaching for too long a period. For this reason those who :proceed for the degree of Bachelor of Household Science are to take the first two years of the course under the direction of the Department of university Extension, while the third and fourth years are to be taken in regular attendance under the De- partment of Household Science. The new course is a direct outcome of the special short course which was held for teachers of Household Science last winter. 'So great was the response to the offer of that course that it was Markets of the World Toronto, Manitoba wheat ---No. 1 Northern, $1,381„; No, 2 Northern, $1.3414; Ne, 3 Northern, $1.24Ye, Manitoba oats—No. 2 OW, 593eo; No. 8 CW, 56%e; extra No. 1 feed, 57c; No. 1 feed, 54c.

NEW MARCONI DEVICE MARKS ADVANCE IN RADIO TELEPHONY A despatch from New York says: -- "One party" radio telephone linea are a prospect for the immediate future. "Listening in" on private wireless rconversation is expected to be made impossible. So one will be able to radio just to whom one wants to talk to—and the conversation will be made more secret than that of the telephone. William Marconi, peufector of the wireless telephone and telegraph, ar- rived here on Friday on his yacht Elettra, with a message that, when fulfilled•, will mark the greatest ad- vance dvane yet made in radio telephony. It will put radio en such a. sound com- mercial basis that, it is forecasted, it will rival 1Jhe telephone in common use. Mr..Marconi announced, that he had psrfeeted a system by which radio messages tan be projected in any dse sired d:reation. At present, radio messages are be- ing broadcasted only, scattered in all directions. An idea of he accurracy of Mr. Marconi's new device is given in the inventor's .statement that he has s2m'' messages" 100 miles straight ahead which were not heard, .except at the receiver !aimed at. In time, Mr. Marconi said, appar- atus will be perfected which will pro- ject radio messages with the accur- acy that marks the transmission of the telephone or telegraph. messages over wires.
