Ozechordovakia Gives Isortrese of Spielberg to Italian Government— Many Italians Suffered Imprison- ment There Under Austrian Bole. Antonio Villa, an Italian patriot iniprisoned in the fortre.As of Spiel - berg, at Brunn, Czechoslovakia, dar- ing the Austrian domination of Italy, wrote.: "Not Spielberg, mountain of sports, but Weinenberg, mountaiu of tears, you must call It." The old caatle where the martyrs of liberty euffered—as 'described In "Mie Prigioni" by Silvio Pellico, a prisoner for many years in the Aus- trian stronghold—has been given by Czechoslovakia to the I! alia n Govorn- meat. It has been converted into a museum in memory of the captives. Spielberg fortress in other times was the palace of the Court of Mo- rexia. It was once strong, but the French bombarded and took it in the Battle of Austerlitz, It was never restored to serve as a fortress, but a Part of the demolished enclosure was rebuilt to hold convicts. A monument, for wIsich the funds were contributed by the birthplaces of the flatten patriot -martyrs who perished in the dank cells, has been erected on the hillside leading to the old fortress. It fulfills a desire ex- pressed by Pietro ktaroncelli, who, writing of the death of Fortunato Orobonl, a prison -mate, said: "Each one of us composed an epitaph to our dead companion in the sweet de- lirium that one day the last of us w -ho ahould abandon the Moravian land, would be able to erect at least a stone in the place where the afflict- ed bones repose." The first official visit by Italians to Spielberg after the World War was in 1921. The Italian Government was represented by the Prince of Scales., who was entrusted by the king with a special mission to the Slovak Government. Then, for the first time in many years, tbe notes of the Italian national hymn "Marcia Reale" re-echoed in the old walls. In 1922 Italian pilgrims visited the prison. On that occasion a marble slab was inserted in the wall of the first courtyard of the castle. The words chiselled upon it were dictated by Paolo Boselli, president of the Dante Aligheri Society, and are an exaltation of the martyred patriots: "From these dark caves sanctified by neartrydom, issued victorious the re- demption of Italy, 1822-1922." Authentic copies with the Italian translation of all documents that con- cerned the Italian prisoners of Sobel - berg have been collected in the mu- seum. One is a letter sent to Petite° by his parents in 1822 but never de- livered to him by the custodians. Pel- lico's cell has been conserved as it was when he occupied it. Part of the manuscript of "Le MU Prigioni" has been placed in the cell where it was written. In the cell of Oro- boni has been placed a bust of this political prisoner, sculptured by Somme. of Turin. The cells have been put in order, but they have not lost their charac- ter of living tombs—tombs of dark- ness, without a breath of air or ray of sun; tombs fitted with chains. At one time the number of Italian poli- tical prisoners totalled more than a hundred and included Countess F11 - angled. Sime was imprisoned M 1816 with her servant, and died before Panic° arrived. 4 Deprived ot books, paper and ink and constrained to silence and to Iignore the life of the world, they made their own paper and distilled the ink from rhubarb. A small piece of sharpened reed served as a pen. With these small means the prisou- ers left records of their prison life which sunk deep into the national consciousness. Spine of these writ- ings were conflscated and a report of them was sent to the Austrian Em- peror Franz whom Col. Pellicelli characterizes as the "most inexorable 'of the gaolers." The most intelligent and audacious youths see Italy with older heads leading them joined the ranks of the Carboneria, a secret organization formed with the hope or bringing about a revolution that should free the country from the Austrian yoke. Austria kept a large number of enters and police in Italy and the work of the political patriots was now and again uncovered. "Le Mie Prigioni," by Petrie°, ts the moat faithful and simple recital of the hardships endured at Spiel - berg. It created a sensation and the Government of Austria hastened to suppress it, but enough copies had been issued to acquaint Italy with the life of the prisoners. "The Cry of Pain" from Polite° was heard throughout the peninsula and awoke the nation to a succoesful attempt to free the country from Austrian sove- reignty. Monkey Missiles.

For the fiecal year 1926, Canada's favor- able trade balance amounted to 8 le • 134,405, an increase over the prev- ious year of $116,706,299. Only on one other occasion WAS the Domin- ion's favorable balance as large as in 1926, namely, the war year, 19113, when it amounted to $662,637,214. At the end of March, 1926, the favorable trade balance was ahnost entieely with the British Empire, the amount for the Empire being $392,- 031,842 and for foreign countries only $8,502,563. The unfavorable balance of trade with the United States, amounting to $123,970,454, was approximately compensated for by a favorable balance with other for edger countries, Has Improved Our Exchange The remarkable iacrease in the 'favorable balance during the past Iwo or three years, says the Bureau of Statistics, has contributed largely to the improvement in Canadian ex- change. On the average during the fiscal year 192', the Canadian dollar was practically on a parity with the United States dollar. Canada's foreign trade was ex- tremely actuve during the fiscal year ended March 81, 1926, reflecting a general improvement in the econatiric condition of the Daminion. While imports were less in value than for the "peak" year, 1921, exports were greater, being exceeded in only one year in the history of the Dominion, 1918. Canada's foreign trade duving the fiscal year ended March 31, 1926, amounted to $2,255,939,869, com- pared with a similar trade in 1926 of 81,878,294,180 and in 1024 of 91,- 952,130,164, the increase over 1925 amounting to $377,645,689, or 21.1 per cent and over 1925 to $308,809,- 705 or 16.5 per cent. Imports and Exports Better Imports as well as exports show a improveenent over the years 1925 and 192.1; the -increase in exports, however, being greater than imports. Of the total increase in Canada's trade, 1926 compared with 1925, imports accounted for 34.9 per cent. and 'eel...rims for 65.5 per cent, where- as imports accounted for only 11.2 per rent of the toltal increase from 1924 to 1026, while exports account- ed Lor • 811,8 per cent In 1020 Canada's import trade was valued at $927,402,732, as compared with $797, 032, 537; in 1925, and $801,806,867 in 1924; the increase over 1425 amounting to 5180,470,- 195, or 16.4 per rent., and over 1921 to $3-1,035,13fi11, or 3,13 per cent, The Dominion's export trade In 1926, domestic and foreign combined was valued at $1,328,537,137, com- pared with $1,081,351,643 in 1925, and$1,066,703,297 in 1924; the in- crease over 1925 amounting to 5247- 175,494, or 22.9 per cent., and ever 1924 to 5269,773,840, or 25.5 per cent. Domestic Egports Increase The domestic exports for 1926 show an increase over similar ex- ports in 1925 of $246,125,438, or 23 per cent., and over 1924 an in- crease of $229,841,736, or 25.8 per cent., and over 1924 an increase of 5269,841,135, or 25.8 per cent. Canada's total trade in 1926, while 5104,647,182 less than that for the "peak" year since the war (1921), shows an improvement over 1925 of $377,646,689. The decrease in im- ports from 1921 to 1.926 was 5312,- 756,150, svhile exports show an in- crease of $118,109,018. Domestic exports increased 5126,029,060, while foreign exports show a de- crease of 57,920,072. Only in one Year was the Dominion export trade greater than in 1926, namely the war year, 1918, when it totalled $1,- 580,169,792, domestic exports am- ounting to 51,540,027,788, and for- eign exports to 546,142,004. The trade of Canada with the United Kingdom during the year ended March 31, 1926, was valued at $672, 988, 590, compared with a .sbnilar trade in 1926 valued at 50411- 251,994, representing an increase of 5124,736,596, or about 22.8 per cent Imports accounted for 10.2 per cent of this increase, and exports for 89.8 per cent. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1926, the trade of Canada with the United States amounted to $1,095,680,246, as against a trade in 1925 of 5936,964,652, the in- crease amounting to 5158,715,594, or 16.9 per cent. Imports accounted for 63 per cent of the tall increase, and exports for 37 per eent.

ONTARIO Sunday School Lesson BY CHARLES G. TRUMBULL (Editor of The Sunday School Times) THE CALL OF MOSES Sunday, July 18.—Exodus 2:11 te 4 :18. Golden Text: "Certainly I wid be with thee" 'Ex. 3:12), For forty years Moses had the best training and education that the court of Egypt could geve him, as an adop- ted son of the Royal family. But he had far more to learn of God and God's ways. Men of faith in God are men of Dation; but men Of action do not al - 'gays have faith in Ged, lYloses took precipitate action one day when, see- ing an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, he promptly killed the Egyptian. He had not consulted God, but went a- head on his own initiative. He was grieved by the persecution of his kinSmen, the Hebrews, and he want- ed to end it, but he did not go about it in the right way. The next day he tried to end a quarrel between two Hebrews, and one of them resented it, reproaching Moses for the murder of the Egypt- ian, which finally reached Pharaoh's ears, and Moses' life was at stake. That was the end of his standing at court; he fled into the wilderness of Horeb, came into touch with a priest of Midian, dwelt with him, and mar- ried his daughter. And so forty years more passed by, Moses living the life of a shepherd, far from both Egyptians and Hebrews. .His life was divided into three great forty -year periods: the 'first forty years at Pharaoh's court, in splendor and luxury; the second for- ty years an outcast in the desert, sup- porting himself by carieg for his father-in-law's flock; the third forty years, in response to God's call, ad- ministering one of the greatest, tasks ever enthusted to a man in the hie - tory of the world, leading Goti's chosen people out of unspealcable slavery, through svilderness line, to the edge of thi, land that was their covenanted right, and that has been anti will yet be, the strategic centre of human history. After. Moses' forty years as a shepherd, God heard Israel's cry in Egypt, knowing the time bad come to set His people free. Probably l Moses had long ago abandoned any ! idea of becoming the , deliverer; he realized, with shame and humlliation, that he had killed his own chances of that when he killed the Egyptian. !, But God eves to do for a Mall the very thing that the man has come to see is impossible. It is never too late for God when things are really put into Rio hands. So He appeared to Moses in a burning bush in the desert. Some one has called attention to tWo different looks of Moses, sena- fa:J ated by forty years. Back in Egypt,. before slaying the Egyptian, "he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian." That is the human method: to look everywhere M earthly directions till we think It is safe to go ahead. But forty years later, out in the - wilderness, Moses looked, not "this way and that way," but fixedly at the burning bush in evhich God was manifested. Then we read: "And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said: 'Moses, Moses.' And he said: 'Here am " God now, at last, had the undivid- ed attention of Moses. Anti so God could begin to entrust a mighty un- dertaking to the man who naa stop- ped looking in other directions, and was ready to look unto Him. We often keep God waiting a long while before we are ready to do this— and then wonder why God keeps u$ waiting . When the Lord had revealed to Moses His plats for bringing Israel out of Egypt and -bondage, He ac- tually commissioned Moses to be the human instrument of this deliver- ance. "I will send thee unto Phar- aoh," said the Lord. What followed is not to Mos& credit. He objected over and over again. He began thinking about him- self, and his weakness and unfitness for this vast commission, instead of thinking of the Almighty One who was accepting te entire responsibil- ity for the task, and who was quito. able to carry it through. God's pat- ience with doubting and resisting Moses is very notable and beautiful: it was the same patience he has to man ifest toward us. God told Moses what to say to the Israelites, and promised that they , would hearken to hie NreiCe. 3it0003 replied to God: "They will not be- lieve me, nor hearken unto my !voice," I God then entrusted supernatural signs or miracles to Moses to use as ; credentials. And when Mosee jeeted that he could not epeak before !Pharaoh, because he was slow of ! speech, God - patiently answered e "Now, therefore, go, and I will bp , with thy mouth, and teach thee. what* thou shalt say." Even then.. Moses hung back, until God appoint- ed his brother Aaron the spokesman to the people. And so Moses accepted his divine eommig,lon. It is a remarkable story of God's patient, triumphant use of a reluctant, unbelieving meesengers until God's grace had overcome the human unbelief, and transformed Moses into as great a charaeter— apart front the Son of God—as hum- an history has ever known. ream ra ETTER CREAM B Means ETTER BUTTER ETTER PRICES We are now prepared to Grade your (Ireton honestly, gather it twine it week end deli vei at nue Creamery each day we lift it, We gat her with covered truck to keep sun elf it, We pay a Premium Of I cent Per lb. buttor-fat fnr Sive- IRIS neer, that of Nn. 1 gun de,.nriti 800010 per lb, butter -fat, for No, 1 grade over that of No, 2 grade.
