One of the many difficulties which

In the meantime Isere and at Due-

Lloyd George's complaint to For-

the Rhineland is concerned, Instead

the surplus German profits have been

A. despatch from London says:—It
is learned on the highest Foreign Of-

are moving rapidly with the White
Russians distinctly gaining the Lipner

he increasing hourly by the wholesale
desertions of the Reds.
Chinese and Lettish mercenaries are
being rushed -to replace the revolting
troops who have been greatly heart-
ened by the reported arrival of Ker-
eneky in Russia.
The Copenhagen Politiken gives a
graphic description of a battle on the
ice between these revolutionary sol-
diers and a zegiment of Red cavalry,
supported by Chinese infantry sent
against them by Trotzky.
The Soviet troops, including a regi-
ment of Red Finnish soldiers -in the
service of the Bolsheviki, attempted
to envelope the counter revolutionists
on an ice field with an armored cruis-
er. The !ortatPetropavlovsk, in the
hands of the mutineers, laid down a
heavy barrage on the ice behind the
Regiment of Finnish Reds, With the
breaking up of the ice, the entire
regiment is reported to have perish-
ed in the icy waters.

There are many community needs
which can bo served by these old
buildings. Some enterprising 0001-
munities will turn the old schoolhouse
into a housing centre for fire -fighting
material, An automobile truck, equip-
ped with a number of chemical tanks
and hose -reels will be bought on ,the
co-operative plan. When there is a
fire in the district the farmer living
nearest to the old schoolhouse will
get out the truck and pick up his
neighbors on the way to the fire. This
represents very good protection, be-
cause the -average school district can
be covered in a few minutes by
motor. The only handicap is in ease
of muddy roads, but it is seldom even
then that the machine couldn't reach
the scene of destruction in time to be
of sonic use. At that it is :better
than the old bucket 'brigade. The ob-
jection will be overcome more and
more as hard surfaced roads become
general.
Then again the old school building
may be used as a housing place for
community thols. The thresher, reap-
er, separator, skacker, ensilage -cutter
and numerous other machinery own-
ed in common may be conveniently
sheltered there, as the schoolhouse is
located in about the centre of the
district.
A library and social centre might
profitably be established in an olcl
school, A place to hold meetings and
entertainments would contribute
greatly to the social life of the dis-
trict.
In one locality the young people
have taken over the old building, fit-
ted it up as n social centre or club-
room where they can have their own
social gatherings. The pride and in-
terest they have taken in the work
has gone a long way toward reviving
the social life of the community and
in making them contented and happy
in the country.
Don't tear down your discarded
schoolhouses or let them fall into de-
cay. There is a community use for
the old building in every community
—and, after all, isn't it worth more
to put it to that use than the mere
value of the junk and old lumber?

The marriage of King Haakon and

to adapt themselves, with their tact

LITTLE GIRL DROPS

Montreal Sewers Searched in

A despatch from Montreal says:—
Squads of men were at work in the
sewers of this city on Thursday night
searching for the body of Lilly Man-
tling, eight years of age, who Thurs-
day afternoon, when out with her
mother and her little sister, Gertie,
stumbled and fell into an open mane
hole on St. James Street, opposite St.
Antoine Market, between Aqueduct
and Mountain streets.
Mrs. Joseph Manning, the mother,
says: "I was crossing the sereet with
my two little girls and I did not no-
