A despatch from London says:— The final meeting a the Supreme Council was heed an 9,45 o'clock Thursday mering at 10 Downing Monet, when than members affinen their signatuxes to the ultimatum to Germany and, the protQcol a the re- Penations plan, Each document was snit:ten in English and rrelIelb, Lloyd Ganga signing first and Briand sec- ond the English text, and M. Jasrper, the 13elgian member, first, Briand second and Lloyd George third the French text. Immediately the signing Was over the French delegation took the train for P,aris. Lloyd George then summoned Dr. Stharner, the German Ambassador in London, by telephone, and at 11 am:. formally banned, him both deeumente. Both of the documents Mow cloee- ly the outlines already cabled from day to nay. The ultimatum expires on May 12, on winnh date, failing Ger- man compliance, the French will oc- cupy the Ruhr and the„Brltish navy will nemonstrate at German ports, The outstanding points of the re- parations demand, which was signed by the Reparations Commission are: (1) Bonds—Series (a), for t;welve billion gold marks, mug be delivered by July 1. (2) Series (b), thirty-eight billions, must be deliveredby November 1. (3) Series (c), eighty-two billions, by November 1, but will be issued only as lha Reparations Commission deeidee Gerntany's capacity to furnish founds for 'service. All the berets shall be free from. all German taxes and elpsi.ges. Ger, many must also pay within 25 days one billion maske gold for the 'first two quarterly inetallmerits of interest and sinking fund. It ie thonght certain Germany will accept the plan, and the new Govern- ment, as Soon as it is constitutional, will take 'immediate steps to prevent the occupation of the Ruhr. \ Dr, Sthsimor declined to dismiss the situation until his Government has acted. The correspondent is lammed that tho Supreme Council has invited the TInited States immediately to send a reprepentotive to the 'Supreme Coun, cil, the Arnbaseadors' Conference and the Reparations Commission, but this was not announced officially. It is reported here that the United Stales has officially signified willingness to participate on these bodies, provided its view of the mane dates is accepted and the whole ques, tion opened for revision. „ The British are quite wining to foillow this course and the French will be glad to get rid of some of theirs, but the Japs are holding out. It is likely, however, that they will yield to "persuasion" by their allies, CAMPAIGN STARTED IN TREE PLANTING • . — Nursery Centres to be Opened in Ontario This Season. A despatch from Toronto says:— Active efforts along Provincial for- eistry lines are to be carried on this summer by the Ontario Government ,department of which Dr. E. J. Zavitz is the head. During war years corn- panatively small advantage %ad been token by Ontario municipalities of government encouragement along that IMe, 'but this year it is hoped that real progress will be made.

Counties and muMcipalitids will again . have brought to their attention legislation -of the last two seesien's, by which 'the Government will assist in putting to good use waste lands. It is also contemplated to open two new nurs- ery centres in Eastern Ontario. Simeoe county, with its many miles -of waste land, is said to be one of the sections of the Province upon 'winch the department has forestry -designs. Simeoe is already among those, *manes which have taken up the Government's forestry propoei- ton. FRENCH SURGEON MENDED ARTERY Repaired Vital Part With Sheet of Tissue From Patient's Thigh. A despatch from Paris says:— Repairing the most vital artery of the human body like he would a bi- cycle tire, was . a feat performed on May 14, 1914, by Professor Tuffier, famous 'French surgeon. The revela- tion was made the other day before the Academy of Science. • • According to the (report, a patient was threatened with death from a conical aneurism oin the aorta. Pro- testor Tuffier uncovered the artery and patented it with a sheet of tissue taken from an aponeurosis in the pa- tient's thigh. He was able to strengthen the artery, reduce the con- gestion and prevent death. This was the first time recorded of surgical mending of the aortic artery. Quebec Village Almost Wiped Out A despatch from St, Boniface, Que., says:—The picturesque little village of St. Boniface, St. Maurice County, is 'I.:worm-of desolation as a result of a conflagration on Thursday .afternoon, which all but wiped out the entire agnomen t., The parish church, the Gerbeault Hotel, the Dugre Bakery, the Boucher store and four ornate residences were death:eyed by the flames. The lighting and telephone systems were put out of. commission, and the hamlet is in darkness, except for the smouldering ruins. The loss will exceed $100,000. The presumption is that the fire, which originated in the church, was caused by one of the lighted tapers igniting the diraperies at the 'altar, The 111011 who does what he pleases is seldom pleased. with what he noes. Plans Future of Mesopotainia A despatch from London says: —The Daily Sketch on Friday morning says, that Winston Churchill, the Colonial Minister, has decided to make Mesopo- tamia into a series of Arab states. This will secure new overland and aerial routes to In- dia under British protection. Mesopotamia is also to be- come a great depot and training ground for the military and avia- tion service of the British Em- pire. AVOID DANGER IN CONVEYING RADIUM Gift to hiluderne , Curie to be Sealed in Special Room. A despatch from Paris says:—Mme. Curie left Paris Wednesday morning for America, where site will receive a gramme of 'radium from her ad- mirers. Tho famous scientist is ac- companied by her daughters Eve and Irene, and Mrs, William Brown Mel- oney, editor of the Delineator. At Cherbourg Mine. Curie will take the Olympic for New York. 5 Owing' to the danger f the radium loaing its power, groat care will be taken in getting the gramme given to Mme. Curie to Europe. The radium will be dissolved in a solution of bromide and water. 'Phe solution will be placed in twelve glass tubes, in turn placed in a box of platinum end lead, while this box will be deposited in a special roam, into which no one wile be aleowed to penetrate.

Curie to America, is head of the essoimittee of women which organ- ized the movement to present the scientist with the precious substance, Lady Rhondda Seeks House of Lords Seat.. The efDorts of Margaret Haig, Vis- countess Rhondda, to obtain a seat in the House of Lords as a peeress in her own right Leave now reasilied the stage where her petition praying his Majesty to issue to her a writ of sum- mons to sit in the House of Lords has been referred by the King to that body, together with' the Attorney-Gen- erans report. It is now being considered by the Committee on Privileges, which is ex- pected to make a roport on the matter soon. Should Lady Rhondda's petition. be granted some twenty-five other peeresses in their own right would be entitled to the same privilege. -- ,1s 4, ' Itt• 4 .,„.. ^I Yi .9r , NARRY A SCRATCH—As YETI, BRITAIN MAY BE OBLIGED TO RESORT TO WARTIME MEASURES A despatch from London says:— Great Britainie great coal strike is hourly adding to the general paraly- sis of business throughout the coun- try. Besides increasing the army of British unemployed to more than four million, it has led to conditions that have necessitated measures tante- Mount to the emergency regulations of war times to conserve the fast shrinking supply of coat. Only two lays of hope can be seen in the dead- locked situation. 0710 is a move on the part of certain members of Par- liament to secure the re -opening of negotiations and the other is a prophecy of J. H. Thomas, "Secretary ' of the National Union of Railwaymen, that within a week the strike would be settled. Meanwhile the country is faced with a cutting of its railway service to skeleton proportions, entailing addi- tional handicaps for all kinds of bush ness and spelling disastrous loss to ; the seaside resorts because of the mability of the roads to handle the crowds. Another week of the strike and the railway service will be cut to practically half of the nominal and the large cities will be as dimly eight - ed as they 'were during the air raids of the war. Subsidized Sedition. If the people a India could eat inflammatory ptoelamations, and if Ghandi, this non -co-operator, gathered rice to feed the hungry or provided work eel the railway embankment, the movement this arch -miscreant heads might bear out 'the promise it offers of salvation to the oullion,s. But Ghandi, bitter enemy of the British Government, by whose toler- time he lives, is raising a fund of $2,- 1500,000 simply to keep up a furious agitation that it utterly subversive and destructive. His followers believe he is a miracle worker, and they believe that in their ragged penury they must support hint and his firebrand retinue. Enery land has men like that, who are a public nuisance. They will not work—they hate work—and they draw down huge sums of money for going about. inducing others to lay down their tools and join the hinge Disloyal Legion of -the malcontents and social inebriates. Why should deluded folk in A.m- erica or India pay millions to those who take the bread out on their mouths for their own enrichment? German Government Resigns' A despatch from London says:— The German Cabinet resigned on Wednesday evening, according to a loneonittance telephone message from Berlin received late on Wednesday night. Chancellor Fehrenbach derided to quit office, on the recommendation of Dr. Simmons, following the United States' renual to intervene on Ger- many's behalf in the reparations. Troubled Fiume. Fiume, that city made lately famous by D'Annonzio, having tried various other forms of disorder, has gone Red. A. few plain hangings seem indicated in• that ancient seaport. Losing in a recent election, the Com- munists followed good Red precedent. They set off a few bombsbroke a few heads, smashed the ballot -boxes and burned the registration list of voters. As soon as the followers. of D'Annun- zio and the Italian Nationalists could rally, a counter-revolution was under way, with more rioting and head - breaking. Although Fiume is designated under the terms of peace as a free city, the principal use so far made of its free- dom is to turn the town into a whirl- pool of propaganda and a battleground for clashing national interests. It is wedged between Italy and Czetho- Slovakia, with Hungary and Austria not far away. All the world of the new Balkans of the north comes down to Fiume to' plat and gesticulate la its streets. Fiume is the smoldering spark that lies very close to the Balkan powder - bin. It is the strategic point of the troublemaker, whether he conies from Italy, the Balkans or the broken pieces of the old Austrian Empire. Free city or not, it is somebody's job to keep the peace therein, as Fiume Is evidently unable to keep it. Italy of the great Powers signatory to the Treaty is 'nearest, and interest- ed partly or not, it would seem to be the Italian's job to keep law and order in that troubled town. The hanging of something like equal numbers of Italyt own extreme Nationalists and Communists would make an excellent beginning toward quieting things. down. • CANADIAN WHEAT BOAI1D .Appointed by the Government to consider all mmetiont relative to the handling of wheat.

Hitt the patience of Paris has reached the point of exhaustion . and French mobilization e,ontinues to enforce the latest ultimatum, wrung by France from an unwilling Supreme Council. What the Allies have managed to collect from the Germans they have token by fence or by pressure. The strong-arm methods used in .dealing with the international "dead -beat" have been the only effective ones. Once more the debtor has been: given "another last chance." The ulti- matum has the usual businesslike look of ultimatums. Washington is hope. fel, London vacillates, but Paris in- sists. Paris knows that the German will pay when and as he must. She is in the mood to do some collecting, alone and unaided, if it must be done that way. The French hold that this "last chance" is at lead one 'chance too many, POLRS CAPTURE UPPER SILESIA - British Commander's Forces t Inadequate to Control .Situation, A deelontell Trent, Oppeln, Silesia, Upper Silesia is in the hands of the Pnlieh insurgents, a1 - cording tO 001, PenPri Cockrell, the British commander front Beuthen, Who nas arrived bore to take Com- mand of reinforcements that the inter -allied plebiscite tontialeteiten Is expected to furnish, Col.

Surely Napoleon and all his marshals, all the great captains of France, stood at attention when the spirit of the "oldest poilu of France" Cle. to the heaven of all good war - To rlir sSurugue died in Paris last week. In his eighty-second year lie was gather- ed to his fathers, and the bugles of France sounded taps over a brave car- eer. He had faced the black eagles of Germany in 1870-71. He saw the Prussian helmets come again in 1914. As a volunteer he fought in the Franco-Prussian War and ,saw the humiliation of Paris. As a volunteer again he came to the French Arrny in 1915 ,and saw France take her revenge upon the •Prussian, When he died he commanded the burial honors of a lieutenant of sap- pers and 'he wore upon his ancient breast the ribbons nf the Legion of Honor. Three times was he cited in orders before the armistice.

Red Armenia. Nobody who knows Armenia will be deceived into believing that the Bol- shevist usurpation of power at Erivan, the capital, represents the will of the people, Splendid has been the generosity of Canadians and Americans in the gift of m,oney, food and clothing to this harassed anti .distracted folk. But not a hand has been lifted by any Power to help them fight off the Turk' or the Bolshevist Russian. They have had to accept for the time the outward forms of -acquies- cence in a' regime they hate. When they can gather strength that yoke will be thrown .off again. Bolshevist rule at Erivan AM no- thing to say to Civilian Armenia and the rest of the triangular tract in- closed by the Black Sea, the Caspian and the Mediterranean. In every part of the country Americans in the tante of the Near East Relief and Canadians in the name of the Armenian Relief Fund Association of Canada are true to their trust. They refuse to be driven off. 'They have compelled' the Turks 'and the Russians to respect their 'property and, above- all, their helpless charges.

Never in the history of this 00071• - try has there been, on the part of adults, so great a desire for general education as at the present time, and this desire manifests itself in a very marked way among industrial work- ers. Of these there are, of course, many who Seek technical and utilitar- ian training; but there are others who prefer education of the cultural type. In Englitn,c1 those workers whose preference is for education in the "humanities" organized themselves some years ago into the Workers' Educate:met Association and, with the co-operation of the Universities, have conducted evening classes in loony varied subjects. In Toronto a simile/ W.E.A. has been in operation for three years ilioconjunction with the University of Toronto nod seven cin,sses (of which the largest was that in English literature) have been car- ried ost during,the pest winter. Lag November a W.E.A. was organized in Hamillam. under the auspices of the Inicivineia.l University and another in in process of organisation under the gone auspices it Ottawa. So far as its finances and the size iof 114 sten will permit, the Provincial Universits is anxious to promote this important and democratic ibran,oh of 'service. The University of Toronto is the greatest asset the people ot Ontario poseess.. 11; is reaching out to serve rill names of the dint:many who may desire to make use of the advantage it offene.
