OPENED BETWEEN ALLIES AND RUSSIA Soviet Envoys Resume Negotiations With Britain and Italy With View to Opening Up Trade Communications. A ciespateh fibro Washington, D,C., grays: -The Allied . Powers are once more preparing to renew trade rein.• tions with Russia, according to dip- lomatic advices received here by the State Department, Great Britain is expected to be first to show 'the way, while Hely will likely fo•ilow suit. Retent cable advioes from Ja- pan were to the effect that that coun- try would act in consonance with the course taken by the European powers. The probability that differences in the nay of reopening trade relations would be smoothed out was indicated bera the information received recently that Leonid Krassin, the Bolshe- vist envoy, who negotiated the pre- liminary trade agreement between Britain and Russia, had left Moscow for London to resume negotiations; while another Soviet .mission. was leaving Moscow to discuss the same question with Italy. • International problems dealing with the Near add Per blest are involved in filo negotiations which Krassin will eonduet. The trade agreement which he is anxious to make, Jr accepted, would bind the Soviet Government to stop its propaganda work in the East, The trade agreement which Kras- •sin negotiated with Lloyd George was taken by hhn to Moscow, where the Bolshevist leaders accepted tbe agree- went in the main, but objected to its binding Agreement that Bolshevistic propaganda among the countries of the Near East stop. It is believed; however, the Bolshevists will find a way of molting an agreement with the British, according to the view of Washington officials. r -Berner pile kielons Will Explore the Arctic ' Sir Ernest Shack:eton, Antarctic ex- plarer, now in Canada, who states that he intends to explore the Arctic regime, Isis plans are not yet com- plete, All One World. Sometimes to 'the pessimist the world seems naught but evil; he pass- es in review, like Solomon, all govern• menta and governors, all men and measures, and in the whole disordered panorama he finds nothing to approve, IIe asks you the question, "How is it all coming out?" But it is a rhetor- ical question, asked- after the mind of the speaker has reached it own gloomy answer; and if you do not coincide in the black view of things, your res- ponse is rejected, with pity for your blindness to the signs of the times, your ignorance of the trend of events. Each man in his place has his part to perform, and the man who sits in an observatory merely complaining because the earth is not run to his lik- e. ing le performing less than a man's part. Let him get out and show "them" how "they" ought to do the things he has prescribed for them to do. Let him, instead of bemoaning a decad- ence, exert an influence. If he would impress his lesson, let him teach it in the most effectual way -by the cogent force of personal example. We are prone to sit in judgment on foreign peoples and to give Pharisee thanks that our ways are not as their ways. We pity them for their infer- iority, though the pity may not take the form of helping them up to a status owe level with our own. Pity, that springs to no action of allevia- tion, is the cheapest of emotions. It is a sentimental indulgence that accom- plishes no good when it merely begins and ends with the sentiment, A real pity distinguishes between compassion and condescension; it is able to im- agine another's plight, and to take an- other's place, and to feel as another feels in a given set of circumstances; and from that feeling springs the deed that 'mines relief. That kind of pity is now reaching out to take in the earth, and it is bringing -nations together against the 1. force of politics or the schemes of militarists to divide them. It defies the fallacious programs of those who under the guise of "communism" are proposing that a few shall keep and many shall go without. That hollow deception stands exposed. It is all one world. Hurt it in any place and in every part there is a sen- sitive reaction. More and more for alI the setbacks and all the disheartening sequelae of the worst of wars, men aro seeking out the good its other men, signalling to one another, discovering and proclaiming their need of brother- hood. The world is sick of turning gardens into fields of battle, killing instead of cultivating a field or a friendship; it is tired of suspicion, jealousy, the song of hate. It wants in all parts much the same things, for under the surface human nature is strangely similar. "Let us be gentle, because wo know so little." Let us he kind, because the need of one is the need of every one, and tIO greatest need is .for a friend. LEAGUE MEETS AT FRENCH CAPITAL Important Matters Await De- cision of Council. A despatch from Paris says: -Next week's meeting, which will be the first held by the Council of the Lea- gue of Nations since the assembly's adjournment at Genova on Dec, 17 last, will be attended by Leon Bour- geois, the Foreign • Minister for France; A. J. Balfour, Lord Presi- dent of the Council for Great Britain; Viscount Ishii, ambassador at Paris for Japan; Paul Hymens, ,former president of the Council for Belgium; Count Jose Quinones de Leon, ambas- sador at Paris for Spain; Dr. Well- ington Koo, Chinese Minister at Lon- don for China, and an Italian dele- gate who has not ;yet been named. As preeidin} • officer, Senor da Cpn-I ha has the distinction of being the first non-European to hold that office. With seventeen separate items al- ready inscribed an its agenda, the Council will be called upon to take decisions more important than any hitherto recorded. Ambassador ate Cunha estimates that twelve dais will be required to deal adequately with the numerous complicated ques- tions before the League. LOYAL TO EMPIRE, DECLARES ASSEMBLY Legislative Assembly at Delhi Desires Relations With Em- pire be Maintained on Racial Equality. .A despatch from Delhi, British In- dia, says: -The Legislative Assembly at a four hours' debate on Thursday adopted a resolution, firstly, affirm- ing that the relations between India and the British' Empire be maintained on a basis of equal partnership and complete racial equality; secondly, re- gretting the application of martial law by the administration of the Punjab -this being calculated to deeply wound the self-respect of the Indians- and, thirdly, damage com- pensations for the families of Am- ritzar victims on the sante scale as Europeans. A clause asking for the punishment of various officers was withdrawn Airplane Squadrons Guard French Border A despatch from Paris says: -The French Government is establishing several airplane squadrons to guard the frontier. • These squadrons will be,known as the "customs police,' and ill aid the customs authorities in enforcing the revenue laws. They will be under the direction and command of the police authorities, however, and will be utilized whenever necessary to chase fugitives from justice. Smuts the Diplomat. Premier of the Union of South Afr -' ea, who states titan he intends asking General Hertzog, his Nationalist and unauccassfu,l rival, to the next Isn- perlal Conference, • U ;404M ,rr F?Yr. (JY`•lr rh drre .o rq sshnea NOW ALL TOGETHER -HEAVE HO, MY HEARTIES! INDIAN PRINCES ARE BULWARKS OF THE BRIITISII THRONE While grave misgivings are wide- spread in•India and in Great Britain as to the wisdom of endowing the na- tive -population of King George's great Oriental empire with parliamentary institutions for which they are in no sense fitted, no such apprehensions are entertained with regard to the new council of ruling princes of India, which was opened with considerable state by the. Duke of Connaught, in behalf of Xing George, at Delhi re- cently. Relatively few realize that over one- third of India and more than one- fifth of the population, which exceeds 300,000,000 natives of widely varying race and creed, are not tinder British Government administration, but are ruled by their own independent sov- ereigns, who have power of life and death within their, own borders, and who are vassal only in this sense to the British crown: that they cannot wage war, contract alliances or carry on relations with foreign govern- ments save through the suzerain pow- er, namely, Great Britain. These vassal rulers are perhaps the principal bulwarks of the British crown in India. They showed them- selves splendidly loyal to their suzer- ain in the great war. Nearly all of them are men of ability, who have enjoyed the benefit of English mentor - ship, in the form of picked officials, distinguished for their tact, their in- tegrity and their judgment, who have sought to influence them in the best possible fashion without appearing in any way to control their actions. Rep- resenting, as they do, some eighty mil- lion of natives subject to their scep- tre, these native rulers are rightly re- garded as the most valuable expon- ents of what is best in Indian thought and interest. It was Lord Hardinge, now British ambassador in 'France, who, while viceroy, conceived the (idea of forming them into a sort of college, or coun- cil, to meet periodically in consulta- tion with the governor-general for the time being to discuss the policies of the Indian empire as a whole and also to give hint the benefit of their ex- perience in dealing with the difficult problems bound to confront him from time to time in those portions of India under his direct administration and rule. Heretofore these vassal rulers have had no voice in the destinies of India outside their own particular do- minions, yet none has a greater Stake in the welfare 2,f the empire as a whole. The number of these vassal rulers who are entitled to definite eovereign rights is, according to the Official India List, placed at 112; and at the Court of St. James these 112 so-called ruling princes, with the predicate of "Highness," take precedence over all cabinet ministers, including the pre- mier himself, and aver all dukes and peers of minor rank. They come next, indeed, to European royalty, and are only preceded by the foreign ambas- sadors, who are regarded as the per- sonal representatives of the rulers of their respective countries.

The victory over the secessionists won in the South African election by Premier Smuts is more than a tri- umph for a man who has been called the ablest citizen of the British Em- pire. It is a success for the empire itself, a notable registration in favor of the unity of the nation. Premier Smuts is one of the re- markable men of the age. His work in England during the war revealed to all who were not acquainted with South African affairs a man of aston- ishing strength of character, pertina- city of purpose and industry, ]:Ie made a deep impression on the Peace Con- ference, in which his opinions were given with a freedom and clarity un- usual among diplomats. By his success in the South African election Premier 'Sands takes his place among the statesmen whose political power has survived participation in the Peace Conference, a company small in number and distinguished in power, and in the gallery of those who have served the British Empire well in peace and in war. When Brides Were Smacked. The antiquity of the custom of throwing old shoes at weddings may be realizes] by reference to the Old Testament, where we final that, when the brother of a dead man refused to starry the latter's widow, 'she indi- cated her independence by "loosing his shoe." This, coupled with the fact that It was the custom of savage nation to carry off brides by violence -a pro- ceeding naturally followed by the casting of missiles. of various kinds - proves that the connection bewteen old shoes and marriage dates back al - mast to the dawn of history. In fact, Urquhart, in his "Pillars of Hercules," states: "At a Jewish mar- riage I was standing beside the bride- groom when the brlde entered. As she crossed the threshold he stooped down, slipped off his shoe, and struck her with the heel on the nape of the neck,' I at once saw the interpreta- tion of the passage In Scripture res- pecting the transfer of the shoe to an- other. The slipper, being taken off indoors, is at hand to administer tor• rection llence it Is used as a sign of the obedience of the wife and the supremacy of the husband." Canada's Thanks Tendered to Stefansson A despatch from Ottawa says: - The Privy Council of Canada has is- sued a formal vote of thanks to Vil- hjalmar Stefansson, the Arctic ex- plorer, acknowledging on behalf of the Canadian Government the service which Mr. Stefansson has rendered the nation in exploring uncharted Can- adian lands. The statement observes that in three expeditions in the last eleven years the explorer "has added greatly to our knowledge of lands al- ready known to exist and has discov- ered lands of large area previously unknown, thereby extending the boun- daries of Canada."

Woman Appointed to University Chair A despatch from London says:- The ays:The London University Senate has appointed Miss Anne Louise Mcllroy to the University chair of obstetrics and gynaecology at the London School of Medicine for Women. Miss Mcllroy was educated at the Universities of Glasgow, London, Berlin, Vienna and Paris. Speaker of the British Columbia Legislature. William Monsen who hes been ap- pointed Speaker by the Legislature, Mrs. Ralph Smith declined the ap- polntniont. A deepAteh from London saysi- The total amount of Canada's claim for reparations against Germany, witl the exception of losses involved in the sinking of ships, which are in- cluded in the British total, has been forwarded to the Reparations' Coin - mission by the Canadian Gov'ornment, When the marine losses are :added, Canada's claim will amount, in all to about one billion dollars, MIS en- ormous sunt, however, is not eegarcl- ed as a practical figure, inasmuch as It will be but one of the items in the "moral" damages due from Germany, rather than the actual amount recov- erable under the peace conference settlement. Its• largest constituent is the amount paid out, or to be paid out, by the Canada Pensions Board, which, as capitalized, is assessed at slightly over five hundred millions of dollars. For separation allowance another hundred million dollars has been added. A third item is the charge for the expanses of the Can- adian portion of the army of occupa- tion. This is a definite figure, but not a large one, as the Canadian troops remained en the Rhine for only a few months, The Canadian marine losses, as al- ready stated, are not separately men- tioned in the Dominion Government's statement, being included in the Bri- tish total of over seven hundred mil- lion pounds: It would appear that a considerable diffieultY may later d velop over the apportionment of thy; 5 sums xeeovered from Germany undeQJ this head. This money is not to be paid ovef•l to the companies which owned tli lost ships, ainee they were reim'bilree ed by the payment of the inaurancef ripe to the insurance companies, ins i theys ' 1 profited from the wax prem' sums, but will (become the property o �' the taxpayers and to be need by tls5 respective governments of the Mothee Country and the Dominions for pub„/ lie expenditures. The difficulty, whiele promises to arise is over, the questio of vessels ,owned in one part of th Empire and registered in another. In the caae of the Canadian Pacific yes. seta, for instance, which are owned in Canada but registered. in Great Brii tain, the contention advanced here is that reparation should be made to the country of registry rather than to the country of ownership, especially as so much C.P,R. stools is held hr the United Kingdom. Thie is a view which' will scarcely be popular in Canada, How Canada and the other parts of the Empire are to share in the twenty-) two per cent. of the total German payment for reparation which Great Britain is to receive has not -yet been decided. This will probably be a sub- ject for discussion and decision by the Conference of Premiers in Lon -1 don in Jame. i CAPTURE FORCE OF IRISH ARMY Fifteen Caught by Black and Tans Digging Trenches Near Dunmanway. A. despatch from Cork says: - Black and Tans surprised and captur- ed fifteen members of the "Irish Re- publican army" who were digging trenches near Dunmanway, County Cork, on Wednesday night. . A despatch from Dublin says: -An attempt was made by incendiaries to destroy the Earl of Keninare's house at Charleville, north of Cork on Thursday. Considerable damage was done to two rooms on the ground floor by an explosion. There still has been no sobttion of the escape of Frank Teeling and two other prisoner$ from the Kilmainham jail. An official communication says a military court has investigated the af- fair, and that as a result of the facts ascertained disciplinary action is contemplated against certain persona who are believed to have been res- ponsible for the men escaping. The matter is still under consider- ation; it is added, and further details cannot be given at the present time. Large vs. Small Universities. Much is said and written about the advantages of the small university, about students being `lost in the mass" in a Large university, But to this, as to all questions, theta are two sides. A little considerationmakes clear to the thoughtful citizen that, even in a large university, classes cannot be large, for classrooms usu- ally accommodate not more than forty students. And a large university is not just one large building -it con- sists of a great number of buildings which are .called colleges, or which house different faculties or depart- ments. Really, a large university is a collection of colleges; that is, it is a group of smaller universities' bound together in a common interest, a com- mon name, and a common esprit de corps. Hence, any advantage which a small university possesses is pos- sessed also by the large university. Besides, if university education is a preparation for life in the world should not university life approximate in its general characteristics to the life of the world. The youth who is train- ed in the large university learns to compete with the best, he learns to know all types of human nature. And who succeeds like the man or woman who really studies and knows human nature -that most fascinating of all studies? In the large university the student brushes shoulders with the keenest intellects there are, he learns to take his place among men, he learns something of the occupations and aims of others of his kind, Isere are pros- pective clergymen alongside of pros- pective engineers, journalists niingl- i>,sg with budding doctors and lawyers, teachers with foresters, dentists, chemists„ and architects. Such daily contact kills narrow provincialism and is, in itself, one of the best phases of. a liberal education. To go out into life with general knowledge thus ob- tained, with the prestige of a degree from an immense institution, is to go out equipped par excellence for a suc- cessful career: The United States contains more people of British origin than do the British Isles themselves. iws i>iraasi Rv L.
