The premises which were destroyed included Higgins' saloon, Miss Ma - hairy 'e stationery stot'c, the West - warning that he would rule Ireland ''bourne fruit store, Macaris' restaurant with a 'harsher hand unless all 9,ttacks and Murphy's saloon. The police also held up and searched all the employes of Dwyer's huge wholesale drapery concern. While the explosions were proceed- ing and striking new terror to the heaits'of the people. of Cork, Strick- land dealt another blow to the citizens by ordering that, curfew shall begin at five o'clock on Saturdays and Sun- days. This means that henceforth . no peple will be allwed on the streets on rest days after nightfall. The order isa heavy blow to business of all kinr.s, military dynamited six buildings on Washington Street, in the City of Cork, Ireland, as seta of official re- prisal, including two houses where two members of the Royal Irish Con- stabulary were attealced on Saturday. The destruction of the six business establishments followed within forty- eight hours of General Striek'laed'a upon the Crown fame eeased'at once. The miliary officials .assert that on Saturday night while they were escort- ing an ambulance containing wounded meta to a hospibal they were fired upon from houses hi Washington street and also %rem street corners. The houses selected for destruction are said to have been occupied by well- known Sinn Fein sympathizers who were given a warning to clear out. They were permitted to remove .their - furniture and then military engineers prepared for the demolition of the buildings. Meanwhile officers with Germans Harmless From Military Viewpoint A despatch from Paris says —Foul: pourparl'ers bet ween France -and Great Britain show that no undue pressure is to be exercised upon Germany on the question of immediate disarma- ment of the home guards. Experts of both countries have assured their Governments that Germany to -day is altogether harmless from a military view - ,point. It has been decided to sanction the Spa agreement that further occupation ; of German territory will be postponed by the Supreme Council next week. Sees No Evidence of Cancer Cure.

DESTROYED When Flax Building at Do- minion Experimental Farm Burned. , A despatch from Ottawa says:—The destruction by fire on Wednesday night; of the flax building at the Experiment -1 al Farm constitutes a serious loss to the Dominion in connection with the research work which has been carried on, dealing with the process of manu- facturing flax into fibre and linen, and the tabulating of the different areas throughout Canada best suited for the growing of flax. In the building, which was erected four years ago, were stocked quanti- bles of flax seeds, gathered from crops grown all over Cvtade, together with valuable machinery. Experimental work was also con- ducted in converting flax seed into different feeds, and the records cov- ering this research work during the last year and a half, which were kept in the office, were destroyed. Albania is a "One - Class" Ocean Liner A despatch from London says:—For the first time a transatlantic liner sail- • ed from England for America with ne distinction of class In its passengers.

REVOLT MAY FOLLOW ARMY REDUCTION Measure to Withdraw Troops in India Opposed by--- ' Military Men. A despatch from .London says: A Reuter despatch from Delhi says: "Much uneasiness prevails at th moment' in the Indian army at th decision of the Government to demob ilize about a dozen. Indian cavalry and over thirty Indian infantry regiments This means that about 30,000 men and 2,500._ British officers will be die charged from the service by the end of March. It is also believed probable that the British forces in India will be reduced by the sending home of two British cavalry and of four British infantry battalions. "These measures are being adopted partly because the great war is ended and partly owing to the withdrawal of troops from Mesopotamia and to the bad financial outlook in the country and the consequent growing Indian outcry at heavy army expenditures. The Government of India is now con- sidering ways and means of meeting the heavy Budget deficit which seems 'inevitable, owing to the fall in ex- change and severe trade depression." The Daily Telegraph, in an -editorial headed "Aro We Giving Up India?" takes a very serious view of the an- nouncernent contained in this despatch. It says the reduction of the Indian army was not recommended by the Commander -in -Chief in India, nor by the Army Council et home, nor by the Viceroy's military advisers. "These responsible' authorities," it says, "are entirely opposed to any diminution of the small army of Eur- opean 'soldiers which guards India against invasion and rebellion. It is regarded with equal disfavor by the most highly placed and experienced officials of the Indian Civil Service. Nevertheless it was carried in the Viceroy's Council by the votes of non- official and native members. They ob- jected to the increase of taxation which would, be required to maintain the army at its present establishment.; Tho'Viceroy was unable or unwilling1 to insist on this necessary addition to the military budget, and on division the party in favor of ruinous economy. was in the majority." t T Venizelos (to Olemenceau and Wilson): "We've all lost our jobs, but Lloyd George seems as popular as ever."

A despatch from Washington says:—President Wilson has des - UKRAINE TO HOLY LAND ON FOOT Jews Eager to Reach New Na- • tional Home. A despatch from London says:—So eager are certain' classes of European Jews to get to Palestine, their new national home, that many are actually walking there from the Ukraine, drift- ing into the country via Constantin- ople, said Sir Alfred Mond, the first Qommissioner of Works in the British Cabinet, who has just left London for a visit to Palestine. "There is," he continued, "an im- mense amount of work to do. The housing shoutage is worse than here, and the country has practically to be rebuilt from the beginning. If plans are properly worked out, we could provide for three or four million peo- ple. Preparations have to be made for those Jews who want to go and, in fact, we have to make Palestine fit to be the lt,ome of the Jewish race." Sir Alfred said that he did not an- ticipate religious difficulties. There was already a good deal of co-opera- tion in commercial natter between the Arabs and the Jaws, and the popu- lation would improve with the advance of the country. The greatest of faults, I sitoul'd say, is to be comsrious of none.—Carlyle. patched to the Allied nations a note in connection with their request to hien to fix the boundaries of Armenia, it was learned on Thursday. The Presi- dent, in his communication, is under- sto'od to have requested co-operation in the task he has accepted. When the Allies asked President Wilson to fix, the Armenian frontiers they agreed thoroughly to co-operate. With this assurance the President proceeded by appointing Henry Mor- gen.thau as his representative. He then asked the Allies to suggest how the subject should be approached. No suggestions from the Allies have been received in response, to this re- quest practically for instructions, ex- cept one from Lloyd George that the President might a'iscuss the matter with the Allied commissioners at Con- stantinople. This inethod was not re- garded by the Government as condu- cive to results. The best opinion is that the Presi- dent already has indicated to the Al - Lies that he may take up the boundary question with Turkey. This Govern- ment previously has advised the Allies that, as the United States assisted in the defeat of Turkey, it has the right to be heard on any treaty settlement by the Allies with Turkey which in- volves partition or rearrangement of territory. That includes Armenia. Canadian Material to Rebuild Cork A despatch from Ottawa says:— Plans made to rebuild Cork's burned area have resulted in the Irish Inter- national Trading Corporation, Ltd., of Cork, Ireland, seeking materials in Canada. The Trade and Commerce' Department has received a letter from that corporation asking to be put in touch with Canadian firms which can supply building materials for recpn- struction purposes. France Makes Payment on War Debt to Spain A despatch from Paris says:—In response to Spain's repeated requests for France to settle its war debt of four hundred million pesos, the Min- ister of Finance has forwarded the first instalment of thirty-five millions to 'Madrid. EXCHANGE RATES ON UPWARD TREND Demand Bills on London Are Quoted at Highest Level Since July. • A despatch from New York says:— Exchange on European countries rose vigorously in this m'uske't on Thurs- day, the advance being ascribed by international bankers to reported pro- gress in connection with the claims of the allies against Germany. Demand bills on London were quoted at $8.77%, the 'Ugliest since the latter part of last July, and at noon a fur-'" ther advance to $3.78% was reported. The French rate or Paris demand bills sold at 6.60, a gain of 14 points over Wednesday's final price, and a new high level for the current move- ment, Marks or German remittances sold at 1.64, a slight gain over Wednesday. The other continental remittances were irregularly higher. KING ALBERT'S AUTO KILLS' BELGIAN GIRL Sovereign Carries' Remains to Parents' Cottage—Sum- mons Doctors. A despatch from Brussels says:— The ays:The automobile of King Albert, while returning to Brussels on Thursday from Louvain, ]mocked down two chil- dren in the village of Kesseldo. A girl of• five years of age was killed outright, and a boy eight years was seriously hurt. King Albert, who was in the ma- chine, was greatly perturbed"by`the event, and personally carried' the body of the little girl to, the cottage of her parents and sought to console then in their loss. The King then fetched two doctors to attend the injured boy. It is said that the children dashed out into the road from behind a truck which masked the oncoming machine, and that they were under the wheels of. the Royal automobile before its driver saw them. His Majesty Joins Hog Club. A despatch from London says:— Ring George has just been elected a member of the Large Black Pig So- ciety, The Times announces. Members of this society are breed- ers of a famous Berkshire variety of large hogs, some of which were pur- chased recently from the royal farms at Windsor by King Alfonso of Spain, with a view to improving the native breeds. The Plight of Austria. 14o longer b+initd together by the cement of SJr bisterie loyalty to the Hamburg clyneety, shift into fribg meats by the creation of the senerate statesof Czeeho-S'1ovaloia, Juga-SInvi: and 'Lavery and by the :transfer of rich territories and dense population to Poland,. Italy and Rumanle, the fate that has overtaken Ateitria was Who might have been .expected, Economic- ally dependent upon surrounding states over which it has no longer con- trol, its whole internal organization thrown 5nte confusion by the revolt: - Winery changes which have resulted from the sitar and burdened by an ap- palling debt, the government of Aus- tris has surrendered to the inevitable; and if the Vienna adyices via Berlin are accurate, it proposes to turn over the administration of affairs to the Allies' reparation Commission, Sash an arrangement canna: but be temporary. The function of adminis- tering the affairs of this fragment of the fernier Austro-Hungarian empire must of necessity revert to the League of Nations until some means can be devised to relieve the economic neces- sities of the people and to enable them to carry on for kheanselves. The league cannot • evade the responsibility, for the safety of Europe and the mainten- ance of peaee and security require some substitute for the measure of supervision and control formerly ex- ercised, however imperfectly, by the Hapsburg monarchy: Inevitable as the collapse of that empire was long rec.. ognized to be, its importance as a check on Balkan unrest was equally well known. By the liberation of the former subject peoples and their in- vestiture with the right and the res- ponsibilities of self-government new causes of friction have been created which call more than ever for a strong guiding and controlling hand and for a barrier between the Balkan states and the more settled peoples in the centre and east of Europe. Austria in its dismembered and weakened condition is obviously in no position to fulfill that most essential function. It remains to be seen what the Allies can and will be prepared to do to meet the situation. The obvious, need, of course, is the immediate relief of the intolerable conditions of priva- tion under which the Austrian people are sufferinee the patient guidance of some strong hand until the welter of new nationalities can be brought to see the vital 'necessity of unity and amicable intercourse with one another and the ultimate growth of an Aus- trian or Balkan union capable of wield- ing, wisely, humanely and disinter- estedly, the unifying power of control so long exercised unwisely and oppres- sively by the Hapsburg rulers.

CANADA'S k{1.�•G ANNOYS THE SWISS -' Claim Our New Marine Flag Too Closely Resembles Theirs, $ A despatelt from Herne says;—The announcementn just made hero that the t Canadian Goverment has introduced merchant merino flag showing; a white cross enoireled by a ring on a red ground has caused consternation in Switzerland,. The Swiss flag is, of eourse, a white cross on a red .ground, but without any ring around the cross, and the Swiss press and public are asking their gov- ernment whether Canada .eannot be prevented from having a merchant marine flag so closely resembling,_ the Swiss flag, especially as Switzerland hopes one day to have her own mer- chant marine, in view of her long. cherished- project Rf having a canal connecting the Rhone, or one connect- ing Marseilles with Lyons and Geneva, and also utilizing the Rhone, Switzerland likewise 'wants to establish shipping connections with A.ntwerp by they Rhh}'ne, while Italy lo planning to connd'et'Venicc and the Upper Adriatic with the great Alpine 'passes by means of the River Po and Lake Magiore, one end of which is in Switzerland. Before the war German mnanufac- turers`got into the habit of using the Swiss national colors for various toilet articles, but the Swiss Government protested, and the custom was aban- doned. It is suggested that this new grievance is one which might be car- ried to the League of ,Nations, but it is possible that the Swiss Government will merely make friendly reprosen- tations to Canada. The new ,Canadian merchant marine flag supplants one on which the beaver was featured. Sailors had nicknamed the Canadian fleet the "ratline." The first Governor of Ontario, John Graves Sintcoe, realized the import- ance to any State of an institution for higher education. He inaugurated the proposal that a college or uni- versity should be erected and his re- commendation was supported by the Legislative Council and the House of Assembly with a magnificent grant of land for which sanction was given by the Crown in 1798. A University, as was recognized for centuries be- fore Ontario became a province and as is recognized to -day, is one of the chief bulwarks of civilization. The type of service rendered by a Univer- sity cannot' be computed in dollars and cents. Governor Sinrcoe saw that no Prov- ince or State can attain and hold its proper place in the world without a well-equipped, well -supported univer- sity. In the United States the neces- sity for such a University is now as- sumed without argument. Minnesota spends more than five million of dol- lars this year on her university; Wis- consin, over four and a half millions for maintenance only; California, practically the same amount; Michi- gan, nearly our millions; Illinois, over three and a half millions; Penn- sylvania, morn bhan three and a quar- ter millions. • Compared with what Ontario spends, these are very large amounts. Ontario cannot be content with a university second to any on this continent. Ontario's boys and girls are worthy of the best there•i's in higher education. Ontario's Pro- vincial University, the University of Toronto, must be maintained at the highest possible standard of efficiency if this Province is to prosper.

Stimulating Plants, The simplest of all methods; of ap- plying the supposed. stimulus of elec- tficity to growing plants appears to be. -that of Monsieur Busty of Ant- werp. He sets upright in the ground metallic rods, furnished avith unoxi- dizable points, and pensiratine to the depth of the roots of the plants to Be treated. These miniature lighting rods are supposed to collect atmos- pheric electricity and conduct it ,into the soil. The area of action, Monsieur Basty calculates, is a .circle of radius equal to the height of the rod. As ninny rods as needed may be employed, at proper distances apart. As applied in a garden. at Antwerp for some time past this ntethocl-is credited with hav- ing increased the yield of lettuce, strawberries and similar garden pro- ducts from twofold to fourfold. lion- sieur Basty's observations seem to have been conducted with care, and have attracted considerable attention, but his conclusions need to ha con- firmed by similar expeaimouts °lee- vrhere before they will be generally accepted.
