As the average mean read the re- sults of the balloting in Upper Silesia and noted that the Germans polled about 60 per cent. of the vote, said average man settie:d. back with the idea that one troublesome post-war natter had been cleared up. Wherein the average man seems to have been mistaken. Upper Silesia is not to be, denied her "piece in the sun" of Biel world's news. Instead of settling the natter, it seems that the plebiscite throws' the whole situation into a . tangle ee t t 1 that mist final, be g passed y pa back to the League of Nations for ad- justment. 'Far from being the end of the quarrel, the French and the Poles would make it the beginning of another long-drawn-out dispute. Geographers, ethaoologists, economists and industrial experts are all to have a word. Germany .gets the clear majority; but Poland claims to Have carried a majority of the communes. Towns and industrial centres go Teuton; but the Pole caaades the farming areas and the mining towns.

She had no mercy whatever on her hus- band, Uncle Ben. The poor old gentle- man was not disorderly himself, but Aunt Marha had browbeaten him into thinking he was and had forced him meekly to accept all her own stand- ards of cleanliness and order. How well trained she had him the following incident shows: One afternoon Uncle Ben tiptoed in- to the -kitchen and crossing t0 the sink, stood there looking over his - spectacles at the shining fr.ucets and the carefully scrubbed slate. Then be turned to Aunt Martha, wno was darn- ing socks by the Window. "Guess ye've just washed up the sink, ain't yer?" he asked. "Yes, I have," she replied. "Why?" "Well," said Uncle Ben with a gentle sigh, "I did think, I'd relish a drink of water, but I guess I c'n get along without it" --a "We sleep, but the loom of life never stops•; the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up in the morning."—Henry Ward Beecher.

A despatchafrosn Paris says :—Cen- teal Europe is again aflame. ' Charles, proclaimed the "Apostolic King of Hungary, Emperor of Austro-Hun- gary, and Ring cf Jerusalem," Is marching at the head of half the Hungarian army towards Budapest, where the Government, headed by Admiral Horthy, is report- ed to be preparing for imntedrste flight. A state of war has been declared between Hungary and Juga-Stavi'a and Ozecho-Slovakia, while Prince Cbika, the Roumanian Minister to Paris, said that "before the Haps- bua-gs are permitted to remount the throne Roumania will fight." ' Jugo-Slavin on Thursday afternoon Mobilized three •array corps and occu- pied Peco in the frontier region awarded to Hungary under the Tri- anon treaty, They seized the impor- tant railway and industrial town of "Szegedin, several miles within the IPungarian territory, The Czeelno- eZate Slovakian Minister, Osuki, in ,Paris, I declared that the "situation is the ' gravest. If Charles takes Budapest it will be direct defiance flung into the teeth of our ultimatum—and means wax." Martial law has been proclaimed practically throughout Central Eur- ope and the Balkans. Censorship has been imposed upon all telegraph and telephone. lines. All foreign news- papers ewspapers have been forbidden to enter Hungary. Railways in Hungary, Jugo-Slavin, Catcho-Slovakia and Roumania have been taken over by the military. All frontiers have been closed and no travellers are permitted to eater or leave Hungary.

Where Conservation is Unknown, ' In Canada forest fires are net popu- lar. No Canadeien would be astonish ed if Ire were reproached for starting one. Mr. Roy Chapman Andrews, writing 'in the magazine Asia, tells a story that shows that there. is at least one country in which the Canadian view of forest fires le not sheered. The scene is the great hunting park at Tung -ling, China, the site of the East- ern Tombs,.where the Manchu emper- ors and their royal consorts sleep in splendid mausoleums among the frag- rant pines. When we had been in camp at week, says Mr. Andrews,, we awoke one morning to• find a heavy cloud of smolte drifting up the valley. 'Evi- dently a' tremendous fire was raging. Smith and set out at once on a tour of investigation. A mile down. the valley we saw the whole mountain side ablaze. It was a beautiful sight, but the destruction of that beautiful. forest depressed us. Fortunately, the wird was blowing strongly from the east, and there was no danger that the fire would sweep northward in the direction cf our camp. As we emerg- ed into a tiny clearing in which was a single leg hut we saw two Chinese silting on their heels and placidly watching the roaring furnace across the valley. With a good deal of excitement, we asked them how the fire could pos- sibly have originated. "01,," said one, "we started it our- selves." "In the name of the five gods, why did you do it?" Smith asked, "Wahl, you see," replied the Chinese, "there was quite a let of brush here in our clearing, and we load to get rid of it. Today the wind was right; so we set it on fire," "But dont you see that you have burned up that whole mountain side, destroyed thousands of trees and ab- solutely ruined this end of the val- ley?„ "Oh, yes; but never mind; It.can't be helped," the men answered, Then I exploded. I assured him that be was an "odd rabbit," and that his father and leis grandfather and lris great•grandfather were rabbits, To tell a man that he is even remotely connected with a rabbit is decidedly uncomplimentary in China. But when it was all said, I had accomplished nothing. The man tanked at one in blank amazement ---as if I had sudden- ly lost any mind; he could not see that burning up that beautiful forest was it the slightest degree reprehensible. To him and all his. kind the only thing worth while was to clear that bit of land in the valley. If every tree on the mountain were destroyed in the process, ghat difference did It make? In any event the forest must go event - molly. Land, Whether it be on a hill or in a valley, was made to grow crops and sto be cultivated by Chinese farm- ers. .u, Some Really Expensive Sugar. What would yon say to sugar that cost from $76 to $376 a 'pound? Well, there are sugars for which such prices. are asked, and whtah people buy. The most expensive of them is called dul- citol and costs $376 s. pound. By com- parison tho other sugars seem almost cheap. Mannose, for example, costs only $140 a pound. Mannose is made front the serape that. are left over in making vegetable ivory buttons. An- other sugar, 'mannite, is made from manna, the nutritive gum with which the children of Israel were fell in the wilderness, itdanna forms In, little flake-like scales, which the wind blows into the air and carries to the ground some distance away. It has the deli- cate taste of a sweet wafer. Still an- other of the sugars, called xylose, is made front corncobs and is priced at $120 a pound, The costliness of those sugars is the result of the excessive care, that Must be exerelsed in making them, 'for the presence in them of any im- purity or of any other kind of sugar unfits them for. the Important uses to which they are put. Every bacteriological laboratory has them. One is particularly useful: in detecting typhoid; the organisms that cause the disease are so fond of it that they pounce upon 1t at once and there multiply so fast that their presence is easily detected. Others are invalu- able int de ectin � re, cholera ra germs. Only a small quantity of the sugars is used at one time. An ounce of some of, them world last even a busy bac- teriologist a year, John Burroughs, the world-renown- ed naturalist, died recently while travelling home from California where he had spent the. winter.

With the agreement no more than signed, the first British steamers carrying British products to Russia have ap- peared at Riga.

It is expected that trade between Eng- land 'end Russia will now develop as rapidly ,EIS arrangements for payment fol• the goods can be made. A despatch from Landon says, -By a ,loyal ,proelansetien issued WI Thurs- day night Great Britain is deolaaed to Ido In a "state of emergency" in view gf the coal miners' strike. This is the first time in British history that an industrial cn4eis has been so qualifled, The seclazralipn of this "•steto of emergency" .enmpowers the Govern- ment to apply serba 'n special mea- sures provided for under the act which wee passed by Parliament last October, and which was introduced at the period of another mining diffi- culty, The jest coal strike was settled be- fore the Emeo'gene, Aet became a Law, and this is its initial application. Labor leaders of all chandos of opin- ion had protested against the hill, but it was put through Par11iamemt, and then practically forgotten. News of its application, in fact, mane as at great surprise, eveii- to many poli- tielans, . There are certain indications that the coal strike may develop into a general strike, a warning of which is conveyed by the seem:ening of a con- ference by the two other members of the "Labor Triple Alliance"the railway morn and the transport work- ers. The coal strike alone, apart from its grave social conuequ:enees,• will completely paralyze British trade and industry, but a general strike would be a national calamity at this time. Efforts for a compromise are still on foot, but no -progress has so far been made towered a 'solution of the probe Imam. The coal problem is extrema,, diffi- cult of solution, because while every- one adnlibs' that the miner's have a grievance in facing a b:eowyy reametien in wages, no 'erne can suggest hew it may he obviated except by a Govern- ment subsidy, `Theis secant to be out of the question. It is also eslimitbed that the divers cion of the coal to oMerseas trade was dere mainly at first to the exoribltaint prices fixed by the ma? owners, who were determined to maintain their intmenao profits in addition to meeting the increased wages. Now by reason of the United States competition and the inoneasineg res- triction of the French demand bemuse of her coal receipts from Germany, the situation demands a sacrifice, but neither the miners nor the Downers are willing to face it. . - No strike cam =aerate such a situation, but it can certainly make it worse. The coal minors, in determining the existing wage con,tnaecte, gave notice to all tnin•e empe'oyes, including the; enginemen and punnprnen, who were: the chief beuefredaries under the war' wage soak; end this notice 'which the coal owners contend was only a form- ality, these workers are now threat- ening to accept, thus allowing the mines to :be flooded and ruining the industry for an indefinite time. Suoce'ss or failure for the strike, is ' expected to depend upon the results of meetings of the railway and trans-, port workers called for early next weep. Educational Expenditures. Ofitario spends something over twenty millions of dollars annually on its pueblic, separate, industrial, con- tinuation, and highs schools, and its collegiate institutes. The greet bulk of thee amount is contributed and ex- pended by tete municipalities tlrem- selves. On university education the Province spends less than two mil- lions of dollars; that is, Less than one- tenth of the amount spent on prirnaay and secondary education, No one who realizes the interde- pendence 'of the various grades of education will arcane that university education costs too rnuc'h. "Primary, secondary, and higher education are part of one great education effort. The goal of that effort is to develop a free, human being who has been prepared for tate responsibility of deciding things for himself. Each division of our educational system has its share in this preparation. The same pupil may pass through all grades. The teachers of the primary schools are taught in the secondary schools by teachers who have themselves been taught in tho universities. The effec- tiveness of university work largely de- pends on the excellence of the pre- paratory se) oole, and. the whole tone ami atmos h ere of the secondary schools are created. by their• univer- sity-trained staffe. The character of bhe work in the •primary schools is ultimately influenced or ,even deter- mined by the ideals of the University. The interests of primary, secondary, and higher education are interdepen- dent aid interlocked. No one inter- est can be unpaired without weaken- ing the others; none can be improved 'without strengthening the others. To set the fimmmeial claims of one against the other would be to impoverish all." Bavaria Aiding Charles' Cause A. despatch from London says;— The Daily Chronicle publishes a des- patch from Berlin which states that it is believed that the Government of Bavaria is concerned in Emperor Charles' coup in Hungary. It is declared possible that in the event of his success the nnonerchists in Bavaria will attempt a coup. Mrs Ralph Smith, M.P.P., British Colunsbia, is the forst woman Cabinet Minister in the British Empire. IMMIGRATION ORDER RETARDS INFLUX OF POPULATION A despatch from London says:— The Canadian steamship companies here say that tiheey are receiving from twelve to fifteen careeelilatio•ns daily for passages to Canada, *Mob have been booked by prospective emigrants from the 'British Wes, the reason given being the continuation of the restriction eequ reing the increased amount of lant'etng money, which was recently decided upon by the Can- adian Cabinet. The Caned'iait immi- gration authorities hero are said to favor tins action in so far as it affects continental imm-1g-ration, but it would :appear that it might WEE be modified in the case of Britishers. It hits hardest those who had booked their passages .and made their 'arrange- ments betere the landing money re- quirement was increased. Now some of those people find that they cannot go, and hence are cancelling their passages daily, much to bhe discom- fiture of the Canaxiisn railway and steamship companies. In spite of this facet, itowevea•, aid four' of the boats which will carry emigrants during the month of April, are already full. General Degonete French General -in -Chief, who is con. ducting the military operations+ in the occupied German, territory, The "Terrible" Turk. Those who know anything of the Turk at hone in his totterin ' domin- ions are well aware of the fact that he has a way of peeing before the visitor dart before a distant foreign government, net merely as the side man of Europe, but as ..the great gentleman of Europe and of Asia, too. Few equatl and none surpass the flaw- less geniality he can assume; he is the devil's own child at donning the livery of light and masquerading as an angel. lie knows that those who have narrowly watched him exit him the • "terrible" Turk, and with reason. Anxious to lift from hdunself this herr,, true none, he uses all his skill in camouflage, all the deferential d'est- terity of personal adda-esn, all tber veneer of rammer that hides the reel intent and the black heart to "bam- boozle" the westerner. From the way in which western diplomacy is now playing into his hand, it wen's, seem that ail the les- sons of misrule and,b'loody massacre, chiefly at the expense cf the Armen - tans, is utterly lost by those who have been hoodwinked by the Turk and are enamored of murderers. Those who side with the Turk are ccaspound- ing a•felOny against eirilizaticn. They are supporting an- that the opinion of respectable mankind opposes. They give countenance to monstrous infant - les and bloody viliony without a par- allel.. What on earth has the Turkish Government done that it teemed be permitted to Nue canal that it should actually be received with prole:scions of favor, and even friendship, by those whose eyes should have been wide open to the real Turk long ago? We are speaking of the Turk not ns an individual,, but as a governing fac- tor. antor. It semis true that Turkish sol- diers in bhe field were often found to be chivalrous foemnen and that srome Turks of the old regime leave been kind, honorable, 'eharitabI•e neighbors to the distressed But the Young Turk movement, whose chief protagonists :have been Enver Pashto and the nmt•- dered Taleat, has disappointed the hope of the world for better things, and bas finally shown how empty are the professions of reform When tacked from Conduct. Much of the sacrificial cost of the war has gone for nought if it leaves the ruling Turk the same free agent in the Levant that he was before 1914.

Those who know anything of the Turk at hone in his totterin ' domin- ions are well aware of the fact that he has a way of peeing before the visitor dart before a distant foreign government, net merely as the side man of Europe, but as ..the great gentleman of Europe and of Asia, too. Few equatl and none surpass the flaw- less geniality he can assume; he is the devil's own child at donning the livery of light and masquerading as an angel. lie knows that those who have narrowly watched him exit him the • "terrible" Turk, and with reason. Anxious to lift from hdunself this herr,, true none, he uses all his skill in camouflage, all the deferential d'est- terity of personal adda-esn, all tber veneer of rammer that hides the reel intent and the black heart to "bam- boozle" the westerner. From the way in which western diplomacy is now playing into his hand, it wen's, seem that ail the les- sons of misrule and,b'loody massacre, chiefly at the expense cf the Armen - tans, is utterly lost by those who have been hoodwinked by the Turk and are enamored of murderers.

We are speaking of the Turk not ns an individual,, but as a governing fac- tor. antor. It semis true that Turkish sol- diers in bhe field were often found to be chivalrous foemnen and that srome Turks of the old regime leave been kind, honorable, 'eharitabI•e neighbors to the distressed But the Young Turk movement, whose chief protagonists :have been Enver Pashto and the nmt•- dered Taleat, has disappointed the hope of the world for better things, and bas finally shown how empty are the professions of reform When tacked from Conduct. Much of the sacrificial cost of the war has gone for nought if it leaves the ruling Turk the same free agent in the Levant that he was before 1914.
