UNITED STATES MAY TAKE ACTIVE PART IN SUPREME COUNCIL A despatch from London says: - There is reason to believe that George Harvey, the American Ambassador, will play a Minch more important part in theforthcoming meeting of the Su- preme'Council at Cannes than he did in the Mat meeting of the Council at Paris. The correspondent was given to understand 011 excellent authority that there is every prospect of the United States participating in the present movement toward an economic revival of Europe to a tench greater extent Athan she has participated heretofore. It is even stated upon reliable author- ity that the Harding Government, if asked to de so, veil] probably send a representative to the general Euro- pean economic conference, which Pre- mier Lloyd George hopes Will result from the meeting of the Supreme Council. Though Ambassador Harvey is Ap- posed to sit in the Supreme Council merely as an "observer, the line where "observation" ends and "active participation" begins is an extremely fine one. Irl ,general, it is safe to say that the United States policy, which will be foll•owed,at Cannes, and after- wards, will be to participate actively in any'e motion which is likely materi- ally to 'effect American foreign trade and finance, or in a situation which might, r'esu'lt in international hostil- ities. Main and Dyer of 'the Department of Mining Engineering, University of Toronto, have been working, in such spare hours as they could find, on a research problem which baffled, them because the .operations involved occur so quickly that it is impossible for the human eye to distinguish thein. The problem is this: After gold -bearing ore has been tc'usilecl to fragments of about an inch and a half in diameter it is put into a "'tube mild" or "ball mill" which looks very much like a huge drum. Into this sante metallic drum a quantity of water is put and also a numbers of balls of metal or stone. ' The drum is then rotated and the ore is ground fine -the whole pro - sees resembling nothing quite so much as digestion in a fowl's "crop," where food, water, and small pebbles are "churned" together, The research workers .ask themselves these ques- tions: Haw fast should this drum be rotated to secure best results? How many "rock balls" should be put into the drum? 'Should these balls be as large as a baseball or as small as n golf ball? Should large and small balls be mixed., and, al so, an what pro- portion? As about two million tons of gold -bearing aro are treated each nor- mal mining year in Ontario, these are rather important questions. But how can answers to then be obtained when, through the specially constructed glass face of the drum, the sharpest hornan eye sees only a b't'tr, a swiftly neevimg mass? The ultra -speed cam- era, on the initiative of Clifford Sif- ton, Jr., B'15, supplied the answer. A "merle," at the rate of one hundred and twenty pictures per second, was taken. The pictures were then transferred to the screen, but were shown at the rate of only sixteen per •second. Then the wholeprocess. was clear as daylight. Instead of watching a swiftly whirling tube mill the professors watch pie - teres or the screen, study the process without difficulty (because lightning - like movements are now as slow as desired), and thaw conclusions from the data presented, Siamese -TwinsSevered by French Surgeons A despatch from Paris says: -With NO SUPPORT GIVEN BIPSII ATTITUDEE®N SUBMARINE WESTIQN A ' despatch from, Washinfgton says: -Great Britain found herself completely isolated in her demand for the total abolition of the submarine, Lord Lee, ofFareham, First Lord of the Admiralty, made before the full committee on naval armament a strong reasoned .plea for the scrapping of all sub-sea"craft. Delegates of the United 'States, France, Italy end Ja- pan followed hen with a fiat rejection of the prlresak All five powers were ags'eed, how- ever, that this. conference should de- clare the sinking at sight of merchant vessels a heinous offence against the rules of war. They will: probably enter into an agreement conferring on the submarine the right of visitation and search, but they will condemn the sinking of mercantile vessels -carrying arms and _contraband before passen- gers and crew are able to take to the boats. FIGHT SINN FEIN IN TYRONE HILLS Irish Constabulary Chase Re- publican Raiders With Their Fifteen Captives. • A despatch from Belfast says: -Six Republicans were reported killed and 20 wotmded in a battle between Sinn Feiners •and constabulary in the moun- tains of County Tyrone early on Wed- nesday morning. Alleged Republicans Tuesday night made a raid near Limavady. County Londonderry, eeeptuiing 15 men and marching thein off, Early Wednesday morning speoial constabulary from Tyrone, while scouring Sperrin Valley, came across .a body of mein with the captives. The police gave battle and chased the Republicans into the moun- tains, both sides firing as they ran. It was during this 'engagement that the Republicains suffered their heavy losses. The captives were released and the police captured five Sinn Fein• ers during the fight. Queen's Christmas Card Features Raya1 Romance A despatch from London says: -.A Ohristmas card of rather novel char- acter was used by the Queen. Instead of taking the, cenvenbional form, the card is headed "The Royal Ramance," Of buff -colored beard, it contains por- traits of Princess Mary and Viscount Lascelles, and below is attached a small calendar bearing the words, "With good wishes, 1922."

Armaments Race Ends. On Thursday, December 15, 1921, the Race for Armaments came to an end. The greatest single aim of the Conference on the Limitations of Armament was reached when Balfour for Great Britain, Hughes for the Un- ited States; and Kato for the Japanese Empire set their manes to the text of the Three -Power Naval Agreement, fixing the naval ratio and the status of present and future fortifications in the Pacific. There have been shiftings, comprom- ises and concessions; but al] these have been within the iron limitations of the great principles laid down in the name of the United Staten by Secretary Hughes on Novemiber 12. As it was set forth on that day, the I 5-5-3 ratio stands. For so long as at the world's three great naval Powers 114 RIES IN THE MACKENZIE OISTRIC1 This ,Article Gives Accurat formation Regarding the Northern Oil Prospects, Ab out Which so Many Unre- liable Reports Have Gone Abroad, "The open 80)10on of 1921 in the Mackenzie River oil fields hos, wine and gone," writes Mr. F, Ir, Kitto, of the Natural Res'oter'ees Intelligence Itraareh of the Department of the In- terior, who has spent the post two seadoiis in the Mackenzie District, With the eestatien of activities, that were pushed.wibh feverish haste dar- ing the abort summer menthe of con- tinuous daylight, comes en opportun- ity to review the progress and de - vel o n etthat � Pmfrac heon a.ccam ifshe and to weigh the situation in the light off additional knowledge gained. On the whole, in general terms, an atmosphere of disappointment is eel - deet. To the casual observer thefield has proved below par and therefore .a failure,Such snap verdicts are to be expected^ --in fact they cannot be avoided. The tendency to over-esti- mate and "boom" that was so rampant last winter and spring -could pot fail to produce a reaction, Whether or not the field will ultimately Peeve fruitful, the facts that its location is far distant from niarlcets and that systems of transportation wild.'be dif- ficult and expensive to establish, pro- .hibit an immediate return from any capital invested. The usual army of theap adventue- sus that gather on such occasions has been eliminated, and only the season- ed veterans or recruits with sufficient stamina and financial backing remain. The action of the Canadian Govern- ment in framing new regulations that will insure the development, and not the "wild -tatting," of this resource and in authorizing the Royal. Canadian Mounted. Police to refuse right of entry to parties without material means of combating the. severe ole- ments anti living conditions of the dis- trict, or of others of questionable in- tentio us, though raising a storm of protest at the time, is proving effec- tive. It now becomes evident to the thinking man that the returns from this source, if any, will be slaw in ap- pearing, and that the work of pros- pecting and devel•iping will not be spectacular, ' There is, however, no reason to feel disappointed. There is no more excuse for a re -action new than there was for a boom last spring. The fact is, there never was any justi- fication for jumping at conclusions of enormous returns. Only a beg•irnine. leas .been,made and serious prospecting is hardly yet in full swing.. The field has by no means been tested, and those in a position to hazard a sane forecast are. exceedingly optimistic. The sunnier has resulted in empha- sizing two main features -.the magni- tude of the task of developing the oil resources, as already referred to, and the great possibilities, more within the reach of the man of Limited capital, of discovering valuable deposits of placer gold; gold -bearing quartz and silver, lead, zinc, copper and iron ores. A large number of prospectors, attracted to the district by the pub- licity resulting from the discovery of oil, and finding themselves unable to participate in its development, have spread to the north, east and west in search of minerals offering quicker re- tells. Already several promising dis- coveries have been reported, and it is just possible that directly or indirect- ly tibe oil stampede may result in the opening up of one of the greatest mining areas of the north, Among these prospectors are found some of the most experienced men of the Klon- dike and other famous fields. Interes't,' of course, focuses on ,the mperial Oil Discovery Well, located a point of the right bank of the ackenzie River about 45 111i1e3 be- low Norman. Late last fall a gusher was reported to have been struck here at a depth of about 885 feet, Wild stories were circulated as to the tro- niendous volume of oil encountered.

While 14Iade]ein•e, the other twin, died following the operation, Dr. Le Filliatre explained that death was due, not to the severing of the connecting organ, but fo a fatal malady. The operation, whirl was perform- ed three months after 'birth, was made extremely difficult by -the presence of numerous blood vessels in the connect- ing time, and the fact that orgains of the two infants were intertwined, the hepatic tissue joining the livers of each.. FROM LACK OF EMPLOYMENT A despatch from New York says: - There is so much distress among Can- adians-ex-so;diers and otherwise in New York City -that the president of the Canadian: Club has issued the fol- lowing appeal: - "There are many hundreds of Can- adian and British ex -soldiers in New Yogic not only out of employment, but in real need of shelter .and clothing. As the Winter gffows more severe their needs will become the mere acute. "Many of our, fellow -Canadians in search of food and employment _aro out in the present weather without '.sufficient clothing and I appeal for your contributions of any spats cloth- ing you may have. Over forty sten a day are being dealt with and 'i can- not over -emphasize the urgency of this appeal," The actual work of relief is being carried on by the British Great War Veterans of America in New York who have now established a bureau for the issue of ei,othing, and subsistence and the finding of employment.

These .figures nu'ty be exaggerated. True, the Im- •perial Oil have a small plant and some tanks; but perhaps not of this capacity, There is as yet neither the eovailahlo oil to produce the quantity of gasoline mentioned nor the local demand for any such' amount, This company is now drilling on the opposite shore from Diec'overy Well, on Bear Island, in midstream, on a line between these . paints, and at a point near Beau reek, a few miles below Norman. A orew of drillers will winter there and continue opera- tions as long as possible. The Imperial Oil were drilling also • last year at Windy Point, on the northwest shore of Great Slave Lake. The continuation of this well proved disappointing during the last summer. Salt water was enoo•mrterecl and later a granite formation was reached, Be- yond this depth the prospects were considered worthless and the well was therefore abandoned. The Fort Norman Oil Co„ one of the newer concerns, showed a remarkable ability to speed up work, and on a location in the vicinity of Discovery Well, drilled a hole to a depth of up- ward, of 1,500 feet. An unsuspected dip In the formation hat: been proved here, as Direovery is less than 900 feet deep.

Indications paint to an netive era of drilling during the season. of 1922, by the Imprrial 0;1, who cony have from five to eight rigs at wer'c, and the Fort Norman Oil Co. These con- oerns should prove up the Norman field next year. A syndicate rf Mont- real men, fete have secured extensive hcltlnlgs on Hay River, a few miles above its mouth, en the eolith shore of Great Slave Lake, have stated their intentions of actively prospecting their ground during next season. There evil'1 possibly be a few ether concerns represented, and more tan-_._ gible results are hoped for inside the next twelve menthe. Though another year is not likely to be ushered in by the excitement that marked 1921, it is not improbable that it may witness mate'irl advance - stent over anything yet accomplish- ed. The public should not be surprised or stampeded et reports of fabulous discoveries, nor d.isappointtd if new findings are not immediately forth- coming.
