A despatch from London saye -
Another Imperial Conference has
passed into history,: The Economic
Conference meets again on Friday for
the consideration of wireless mom-
mnnications, but its proceedings will
probably be briief. For all :practical
purposes both, conferences have -con-
_ eluded their labors. It has been six
weeks of constant consultations, com-
' rnittees, conferences and: speeches.,
What has been the result? Not until
Sunday will the official text of the`
resolutions be leaned, but it may be
forecast that they will not indicate
any organic change, in sonstitutional
relations;. in fact no ::constitutional
proposals of a sweeping nature ap
pear • to haa3e beenbrought forward
at all:
In 'matters .of foreign policy there
is no change in the existing machinery.
As seen from the Canadian point of
view the results of the Conference are
summed up by ;a member of the Can-
adian
an-
,adian delegation as follows:
1. A much clearer understanding of
the Canadian position •as to Imperial
relations
2. Recognition of equality and inde-
pendent initiative in matters peculiar
to one part of the Empire .coupled
avith willingness to co-operate in mat-
ters of common concern.

LUDENDORFF PLACED IN COMMAND OF
REVOLTING PROVINCE OF RAV
A despatch from Munich says:—
The Bavarian Government has been
deelared overthrown by Adolph Hit-
ler, the Fascist leader,_ and the ad-
ministration placed in the hands of
General Ludendorff, as Commander -
in -Chief. •
Dr; von ICahr, the Military Dicta-
tor in Bavaria, had just finished ad-
dressing a patriotic manifestation hi
the Burgerbrau on Thursday, when
Hitler entered at the head of 600 men.
Hitler 'announced that the • Govern-
ment had been overthrown and was re-
placed- by a new Government, with
Gen. Ludendorff as eupreme,bead and
Hitler as political; adviser.
Ludendorff, who: 'was present, spoke
after Hitler, and placed himself "at
the disposal of the national- German
Government, and. avowed his willing-
ness to lead the national German
army. Ludendorff :.was greeted with
wild cheers.
Armed liitlerites occupy the prin-
cipal' Mnnieh squares, the State police
occupy the Munich main telegraph
office,
Incidentally, Hitler proclaimed a
march on Berlin' and a crusade for
IA
the establishmentof a national Reich
Government. '
Former Chief of Police von Pohner
has been named as Administrator of
the country, and General von Lossow
Minister of War,
After Hitler's declevation.hie troops
drew a cordon around the Burger-
brau. About- 10 o'clock Thursday
night troops of Oberland and Empire
flag organizations concentrated on the
Burgerbrau and occupied different
quarters of 'the city, chiefly; the
squares.
Conferences are being 'held within
the Burgerbrau, and it is reported
that Dr. von Bahm is attempting to
negotiate a settlement with • Hitler.
The attitude of the police and the
Reiehswelu• has not yet been disclosed.
Those who gathered in the Burger -
beau, which • is a famous' Bavarian
beer cellar, were members of Nation-
alist patriotic organizations, to whom
Die von laahr read a manifesto to the
German nation 'denouncing the prin-
ciples of Marxism. The reading pf
the manifesto was greeted 'with ap-
plause, and Hitler's sudden entry with,
strong forces wag something in the
nature of a dramatic surprise.

4. recent report by the Do-

gives the number of pole miles
of, „the telephone service atone
in Canada as 18414'7., Of this
total but 2,102 miles -is' in Bit-
tisk Columbia, Ontario leaving
47,176 miles; Quebec 13,456, and
the Prairie. Provinces 108,733
miles, The telephone poles for
' this huge mileage are practical-
ly all taken ,from the forests
of the Pacific province, each pole
representing one cedar tree. As
approximately 40 poles are re-
quixed per pole mile, the 184,-
147 miles' would require 7,305,-
880 cedar trees to provide tele'
phone service. It will readily
be seen, therefore, that when a
forest fire attacks a British
Columbia forest Ontario is di-
reedy interested in the timber
that is being burned.

Planting Trees by Machinery.
Machines have been devised 'to do
many things, but one of the most re-
markable is one used by the. United
States Font' Service, which sets out
seedling 'trees ten times as fast as
the old hand planting method, .Its
capacity- is from 12,000 to 15,000 trees
a day, while a :man might set out
1,200 to 1,500 if he were active. It
is an adaptation of a machine made
to, set out tomato and cabbage plains,
and it -takes three men and .two horses
to operate it 'at Capacity„ ,
In 'appearance the tree planter is
something like. a mowing machine'and
just about the same size. It has. a
plowshare arrangement in front and
back of the feeder are two metal
wheels, which push, the dirt around
theiiecently placed tree seedlings mnd
packs it down. It is son at a seed
of the team's walk, and the two men
deeded beside the driver are , kept
busy placing . the seedlings in the
planting hopper.
Extra features of the tree planter
.include -a marker that indicates where
the next row is to go, andtwo hop-
pers containing water and fertilizer
that function by a cam :system, (Mop-
ping the nutriment for the young trees

The Rule of Self. .
Contentment does not come till a
man has brought his own being into
subjection to 'eerfain, laws' which
through the ages have been ,slowly
formulated and vindicated by the gen-
eral .experience of mankind. Among
those to whom the only "red-blooded"
way is the way of red radicalism, the
thought' of any sort of•contentment--
individual,. social; industri4j—is ab-
horrent, and any concept of law, .as
regulating life, is detestable. They
try to pretend that all decencies and
dignities are, merely ,ridiculous, all
conventions narrow and mean. They
look with simulated pity on the "con-
servatives" who do not . follow thein
beyond all bounds into the wild life
which knows no guidance but unleash-
ed desire -
The 'rule of self, : meaningcontrol
over self, costs struggle. The rule of
self, meaning doing as, pm pleases,
without any care for pain to others,
or:. harm to those who are trying to
live, is the easy way to take; but Na-
ture plays no favorites, she inflexibly
affixes and collects her penalties, and
the fool pays. "The sin, ye do by two
and two ye must pay for one by one."
The moralist is least welcome when
he preaches control to the uncontrol-
led, It is held that the time through
which we pass is peculiarly depraved
and given to strange gods. So men.
who thought at all have thought in
every period our earth has survived.
As soon as an earth began to be popo-
lated some of the people were grieved
and shocked at the behavior of the
rest and started to reform them. It
is 'easy to contemn the reformer and,
because certain reformers have failed
and fallen, to set them all down as
miserable hypocrites. If anything is
sadder than the fall of a, minister of
God, it is those who rejoice over it
But there nmst'be control, whether
the advocates of untrammeled person-
al liberty caro for it or not. What an
unbearable earth it would be if a
thousand restraints did not interpose
to safeguard the individual! The first
