Foe' every men executed vengeance anticipaed, and Ebe the Government has in oustody many men liable to the death penalty, and is said to mean to carry out exectetione, the piling up of deaths on each side is considered here as inevitable. - No big outbreak is thought prob- able, but the daily guerrilla warfare against the troops and police and the individual shooting of policemen .MI(1 men suspected of having dealings with them are considered not likely to be seriously checked by any gov- ernment measures yet taken. A sensational rescue of Leahpri- soners took place Wednesday evening in County Roscommon, A military party was proceeding toward Long- ford in two lorries when it was aen- hush,ed by Irioh fences nem Strolsee- town. Cant, Peel of the Ninth Lan- cers and four eoldiers were shot dead and several of the soldiers, including Lieue. Tenant, were wounded. The Irish attacked elven both skies aof the rood and when the troops Were Oyer- eonio.the prisoners that they had with them were taken away. In the Court of the King's Bench on Wednesday the Lord Ohlief :Justice granted a cenclitional .order of habeas corpus in behalf of six 'prisoners court-martialed at Cork on the charge of levying war. Phe applieation was made en the ground that the court - Martial had no jurivdection. Attorney Compts, in making the ,applicatiori, said that the execution of three of the men had been fixed for Saturdtay. The Lord Chief justice said that no exe- cutions mad occur in the face of the court'a order, which would be directed to Gen, Stelekland anti the officers ofl the eourtenaatiall. A Canadian in Constantinople Canadirms are especially interested in their own workers in the disturbed area of the Crows Roads of the Near East. The following has been reedy- ' ed at the headquarters of Armenian Relief:— "Only the quick work of Miss Ent- , ma Wood and Miss Frances McQuade, s' its managers, saved from :total des- tructien the Canadian Hospital .for Tubercular children at Yedi Constantinople, built by -Canadian funds, when the building was recent- ly damaged by lire. "The workers were aroused early in the morning by the smell of s.moke. Miss Wooti gave the alarm and the fire was finally located in the Store room. Courageously entering the room, the workers removed six eans of gasoline. The blaze was finally ex- tinguished after it had caused a loss of two hundred dollars." Miss Wood's home is at 221 College Avenue. Sarnia, Ontario, Miss Mc- Quade is et native of Charleston, West Virginia. Miss Wood is a graduate of the Training School for Nunes, John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Md. Since graduating she has had quite a varied experience. A year was spent in Pittsburg, Pa., in connection with Mies Ennna M. ,Wood of Sarnia, Ontanio, Superintend ent Canadien Hospital for Tubercular Children, Constantinople. Dr, 'White's Tubercular ,Sanitarium, and this work covered social service work amongst the poor of the city. Leaving Pittsburg, she spent, three years in the Baptist Sanitarium, Dal- las, Texas. This experience was, fol- lowed by a year in New York City, Where she took a course at Columbia University, and at the same time lec- tured to the nurses in Bellevtie, Hos- petal, where she resided. In the fall of 1917 sbe entered the War Demonstratien Hospital, New York City, which at that time wasa branch of the Rockerfeller Founda- tion. At this hospital she was for- tunate in becoming familiar with the Carrell -Dakin method of wound treatment, Dr. Carrell, himself, being in the .hospital. Miss Woocl remained with this hospital until March, 1918, when she sailed for Palestinewith the Ainerican Red Cross Conineasien to Palestine, which ' was Sent out under Colonel Joint Finley. Her duty to •the Coniseission was that Of surgi- cal nurse, and she toted in this capa- city in the American Red Cross Hos- pital at Jerusolem. She remained in the East until the spring of 1919, when he sailed for Pavia. In France a couple of Months was spent in Red Cross duties, and then Miss Wood, with other nurses, left for Poland to help in the fight against typhus in that country. She remidn- pianesek's ' ed in Poland five menthe and during this time lied a very harrowing ex- perience in the Polish town of Biola, At the end of the five months she re- turned to France, sailed for America, and arrived back in Sarnia in the middle of December, 1919. After a rest of three months, she engaged with the Near East for ser- vice in the Caucasus and, with others, tailed for Constantinople in March, 1920. The journey wits made into the Cautasus, but on .account of con- ditions there, the nurses were taken back to Constantinople last summer. At this time, arrangements were be- ing made to open up the Canadian Hospital for Tubercular Children at Yedi Koule, and Miss Wood teas ap- pointed Superintendent of the hospital and delegated to oversee the renova- tion and equipment of the hospital. She is still the acting Superintendent at Yedi Miele, and 'from the tone of her letters, one would infer that she is very much in love with her work. Send contributions to Mr. D. A.

Harder than the distinction between bad and good is the differentiation between the gcod and better, or the better and best. When one has seen and known the beet, one is less likely to be tempted into accepting the second -Tate. What are the finest things? Cer- tainly not these that any one can buy lox money. You .cennot buy a ereene. You cannot 'buy the goodness and greatness of human fellowship and the inspiring social contacts. A rich man purchases foodand flowers and the service of an orchestra --he ptu.cbases the presence of others at his feasts and dances—but he can- not purchas.o society, for society is not a matter of gorgeous and costly entertainment; it is an affair of con- genial and cordial affiliation. You may have far better society at a fire- side in a woodland camp or among primitive nomads than in the sophisti- cated air of a rich man's palace. Personelity is, one of the treasures of life that are worth more than ropes of pearls, We are so constituted that we look to others for the lift we do not find within ourselves. We take heart again from the shining face as from the glowing word of the preach- er. Wo read of some one who bore up and .struggled on in the face of all hard conditions and we say, "If Eel did that, I cen!" First among the finest things of life let us set down the good influence onn human being may have upon another. That is fundamental to all else. • The things that are enjoyable—lit- erature, art, music; horses and clogs, golf and baseball; the sheer delight in a clay of a glorious sky and a beauti- ful earth --all these things are twice as much to us when we divide then with another. The first instinct of the soul in the presence of delight is to share it, and by the sharing to enhance it. A pic- ture or a book, a sermon Or a play, or a symphony, is less to us in the absorption than in the communication to a kindred spirit. If you do not feel like sharing it at once, the thing yon have is lees precious to you. The first inspiration, of a true professor of religion is the feeling that what he has jis SO precious that'he must not hug it to himself, but pass it on, The finest things of life are those we want to give away. A party of sixty British farmers with 235,000 for investment in land have sailed for Canada. The majon. ity are bound to the Lloychninster dis- trict in Alberta. g••••••1,....

Thousands of - British War Widows Remarrying - A despatch from Paris sayst--In- stead of the one billion marks gold which if is demanded that Germany parbefore March 23, the Reparations Commisslon laws received a long note --tin German. This note etvici three things: First—Germany did not owe the money asked for. Second—IT she did owe it she cou•klett pay it. Third—However, Berlin would talk it over with the allies. The Reparation Commission drafted a reply to BerlIn saying Germany could net question the figures of the commission and had not met the de - Mends to fulfill the treaty terms. The commission sent to the allied Goveon- intents notification that Germany had felled to fulfill the reparation terms of the treaty, and advising action. Under the treaty Gem -Lamy was pledged to pay 20 billion marks, be- fore May 1 when and how the Com- mission of Reparation .should decide. Against this sum Germany wasebo be credited with deliveries of property to the allies after the aTnesuice. Several months ago Germany announced else had peed 20 billione. One month ago the Reparations Commission eon -mkt - ed its valuation and announced that GeTmany had paid eight billions, and thaws owed 12 billions tresee, and on March 15 sent Germany notice to pay up beam May 1. The Getman note stated that Berlin could not accept the Reparations Com- mission valuation of its payments, 'that Berlin estimated 20 billion marks had been paid., and therefore it owed neither the one billion asked for on March 23 nor the eleven More asked for by May 1. The note says Ger- many is ready to present further argu- ments that it has paid up. Officials of the Reparations Com- mission state that the commission was sovereign, and that its figures stood. Therefore, Germany is in the position of refusing to fulfill the treaty. New Sheep Disease in Welsh District A despatch from Cardiff says:— Nearly 20,000 sheep have been killed recently in the Vele of Clwyd by a disease known as "fluke," according to a report to the Welsh Agricultural Council. Experts say the point of at- tack is in a certain class of snail, and that better drainage of the land is the best precaution against the dis- ease. A revolutionary movement is afoot in Russia which gives the impression that it has erognseeti too far for the Bolsheviki to .stamp it out. Discontent against the Connnissary dictators is prevalent, and within the last fort- night M numerous cases throughout the interior of Russia the Extraordin- ary Cornaniesion—the Bolshevik ter- rorist organization—hes been unable to inspire terror. Instead, the Extra- ordinary Commission, the terrorists themselves, have been s.eized, and tho. revolting. peaeants or workmen, who hold them, refuse to deliver them up. A Startling Innovation. Wherever, in any part of Ontario, twenty. or mere persons wish to pro - teed to. a University degree without diveortt-inuing their employsnene 20.01 - Wee to accomplish their ambition are offered by the Provincial University so far as its finances and the slim of its staffwill permit For years the University of To- ronto has had .special arrangements to enable teachers to secure higher academie qualifications and the degree of B.A. without giving up •their teach- ing positions. At the Manch meeting of the University Senate these ar- rangements were extended and adapt- esi meet the needs of people engaged in any ordinary employment. With only certain absolutely indispensable regulations as to size of classes, con- trol of staff, suitable equipment for soieralific subjecks, .and with only ordi- nary university fees preseribed, the opportunity is offered for the estab- lishment of what may be virtually lo- cal .00lleg'ee affiliated with theProvin- trial University. The course thus offer- ed is the "pass" or "general" course, the subjects of the first year being English, Latin, French, algebra and geometry (one paper), trigonometry, and science, and those of the 'second, third, and fourth years being English, French, science and any two of his- tory, psychology, and political economy. This departure is in accord with the well-known democratic policy of On - Melee University. Its design is to make the advantages of higher educa- tion available throughout the Univer- eity's entire constituency. This is' no "cheapening" of university education, for university teaching and examina- tions will be maintained at the tradi- tional high standard, hut it does bring higher education to the people's doors -,-especially to the dome of those adults who have, for any reason, fail- ed to avail themselves of youth's op- portunity for learning:. To obtain a B.A. degree will involve just as much work as it ever clid, but the extraneous Obstacles have been. removed. It is such innovations as this, along with the notable work that has been and is being done in the regular way, that entitle the University of Toronto to the most generous support of the Provincial Government. ' Ocean Liners Equipped With Floating Safes A despatch from The Hague says:—The Dutch Indian /ruse steem- ems -have just been equipped with floating safes large enough to con- tain all of the ship's vaina•bles and registered met. They look some- thing like a MSS between a floating buoy and a submemine, and ore equip- ped to ring balls, shoot off skyroekets, flash light and blow barna The safe, if •ertet overboard in event its ship went down, would go floating about the seas ate:meting attention to itself until its clockwork machinea.y, set for thirty clays, ran down. The River St. John, in New Bruns- wielc, 400 miles long, is celled the Hudson or Rhine of Canada because of its scenic beauty. Good sends are uniformly bright colored, whereas seeds that have been exposed to moisture or that are dead are duller and darker in color, .„ . SEAPLANE USED IN WAR ON DRUG SMUGGLERS. When'the Emprese of Russia aerivel a.t Vancouver from the Orient, she was met half way between Victoria and Vaneouver by a Governinent sea- plane which scanned the path of the liner for nines around in order to detect any small craft that might be used by smuggler% to pick up drugs thrown overboard. CCM Mastering Farm Machinery. Farmers who are inteested in keep- ing their boys eind girls, on the 2:11.111 would do well to give more study and attention to the use of better farm maehinery and the introduction of modern convenien,ces in the home, There are too Many people who seem to think that education is the volu- tion of the problem, and they have in mind an education that will carry the boy and girl to the agricultural col- lege and then back to the old farin, contented fOr the rest of their lives. Boys and girls who are brought up on a farm where most of the hard work is done by hand and where but few modern conveniences are in use, can ,see but little need of a technical education that will teach them the great things to be done on the farm and how best to do them. Send boys and girls from such farms through the public school, on through high school, and then to the agricultural college, and they will in all probability prepare themselves for some other profeseion than that of faeming or agriculture in its true sense. On the other hand boys and girls'whose impressions in, early life were gained on a fawn well- equipped with labor-saving machinery and in a home where modern conven- iences were used will take an Iictive interest in a technical training, in ma- chinery they can control and become supreme master of; something which holds their interest in the mysteries of construction along with the power of accomplishment It is the setiefac- tion that comes from driving a truck or tractor for work, or from doing some particularly fine piece of me- chanical work iai the tool shop that sends a thrill of power through the nervous system of the most phlegm - ate boy. If hydro power or small pow- er plants are at the disposal of farm homes the girls Would find more in- terest in staying at home and attach- ing the meter to the sewing machine or churn than they do M the home where these conveniences are not in use. Both boys and birls Take en inter- est in doing good work and after they have acquired anti education and train- ing they find it more difficult than ever to return to the farm and take up the old order of things. Farmers who are oomplaening about their ]Joys and •girls leaving the farm can do much to improve conditions by introducing labor-saving machinery for the farm and modern conveniences for the home. If they can have these things right at home the boys and ghle are not going to the city to look for them. The strongest factor in the life of a boy or girl is the thing's they do because they have an education or the power at their command. The boy Or girl on the farm given the masteTy of mac.hinery and modern conven- iences, trained to efficiency in their management and use, made to feel that every operation in the conduct of the farm ds something to call for the best technical and intellectual trcatmeut of which they are capable, are going to feel that a Idngdoin lies at their feet waiting for its ruler. Widows' Pensions Budget Lower in Britain A despatch from London sale:— British war widows am re -marrying so rapidly that the Chancellor expeots to be able to reduce pensions appro- priatione in this year's budget by 210,000,000 sterlirg. • This, however, is only one of the factors ecintributhing to the anticipated reductions, but it is stated that thousands of women made widows by the war have again become wives and thus have auMmiutically taken their names off the pension list. The pensions granted tor. widows of soldiers who died in active service are withdrawn when the widows remarry. Canadian Wheat 'Arrives Via Panama Canal A despatch from • London says:— Messrs. Dewar end Webb of London, the consignees of the hig wheat ship- ment received from the prairie pro- vinces vita Vancouver and the Pan- ama Canal, which, arrived in London last week, have reported that never was any shipment landed in better condition, and that the millers on the Corn Exchange have said that the wheat was about the finest which had ever been received from Canada. BRITISH COUNIIMA TO SE DIVIDED Form New Province of North- ern Section and Yukon Territory, A despatch from. Ottawa says Tho formation of a new Province of Camelia consisting of "all that Portilon of British Col'uinbia 'which Pee to the north of the 62nd pereliel of north *Weide mid inoluding the Yukon Ter- ritory, subject, to the approval of a majority of the efteetome of al the territory mentioned and d.etermisned by a plebieeibe," is being moved in the 1101.10e of Commons by Col. C. W. Peck, V.C„ and fieeonelled 1y Dr. A, Thompson, Yukon. Col. Peck's rese. lution reade: "(1) Whereas, it has been the policy of Canada to estabeish new Provinces as` the country develops, as was done by the creation of the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta; and, "(2) Whereas, the natural resourc- es of northern British Columbia and those of the Yukon are of a similar obetatteter• and "(8) Whereas, these resources are bang developed and as so result the population of this tea'ritory is rapidly increasing; and "(4) Whereas, it is fully expected that the census to be taken this year will, show sufficient population to warrant the erection of another Pro- vince.'and, "(5) Whereas, the building of the Grasiol Trunk Pacific created a natural polibical divimsion— "(6) Resolved, that a new Province be formed consisting of all that por- tion of British Columbia which lies to the north of the 52nd parallel of north latitede, and Mcluding the Yulten Territory, subject to th.e ap- proval of a majority of the electors of all the territory mentioned as de- termined by a plebiscite." S Austen Chamberlain Who succeeds Ilonar Law as leader, in the British Commons, of the Coali- tion party. Forest Revenues. - Reveuueee,from Crown forests are playing an increasingly important part in the several provinees. in New Brunswick, for the fiscal year ending October 31, 1020, the forest revenues to the provincial treasury aggregated $1,387,005, or more than double those of the previous year. This increase was due partly to an increased cut, partly to increased stumpage dues, and partly to a closer scale. In Quebec, for year ending June 30, 1920, the forest revenue amounts to $2,604,456.26, or 23.6 par cent. greater thankluring the previous year. It Is estimated that during the current fiscal year the forest revenue to the provincial treasury will aggregate around $3,000,000whin may be in- creased to $3,500,000 during the fiscal year -following. In Ontario, for fiscal year ending October 31, 1920, the forest revenue was 92,684,843, OM Increase of nearly 50 per cent over the previous year. During the calendar year 1919, the British Columbia (Novernment re- ceived in forest revenue a total of $2,755,739. • The importance of perpetuating these revenues, to say nothing of in- creasing them, is obviously so great that all of the provinces would be amply justified in expending linger sums than at present upon the pro- tection of the forests from fire, insects and disease, upon reforestation, and upon an administration calculated to ensure ene-oyer areas being left In the best condition to produce continued mops of the more valuable tree species, so far as that may be owe Blatant with the economics of the eltuation, Paderewskl's Pun. The worid-famoue planistpolitician possesses a ready wit. He 'was once present at a dinner, also attended by O well-known English polo player. Atter dinner M. Paelerewski, turning to the polo pliyer, asked:— "Do you know the difference be- tween us?" "No, I am afraid I don't," answered the Englishman, atter a few moments' thought. 'Well,' 'replied M. Paderewski, "You're a spill that plays polo; 2 am a Pole that plays -solo." It's a Great Life If You Don't Weaken • ..•••••emeeemema•••eng it By Jack Rabbit . -rf‘NT.S -rim. — e.,...
