LAST OPPORTUNITY GIVEN GERMANY
TO MEET ALLIED DEMAND
conditi, of Ultimatum Drawn Up at Final Meeting of
Supreme Council Which Expires on May 12.
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,

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

that real progress will be made.

'the Government will assist in putting

contemplated to open two new nurs-

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,

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.

Mine. Curie to America, is head of

ized the movement to present the
scientist with the precious substance,

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.

Germany in 1870-71. He saw the

The Kaiserine Augusta Victoria will

and will be employed en the run be-
tween Quebec and Liverpool. The
Prinz Freiderieli Wilhelm will be re-
christened the Empress of .China and
will be sent to the Paoific to airgment

G. M. Bosworth, chairman Of the

night that negotiations with the Brit-
ish Goverment, to whom the ex -der -
men vessels were awarded by the re-
parations commisseon after the armis-
tice had been in progress little more
than a week. The reason for the
purchase was the company's inability
to obtain delivery of four new linen
ordered in British yards in July, 1919.

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.
Some da n we shall rate at its true
value the heroism of these men and
women. It is so easy at long range to
depreciate missionary zeal and write
with a cynic tolerance of an alleged
partiality or fanaticism. . Those. who
stood to their work and nobly served

famers at last are silent in the dist.

Adult Education.
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.
