1...140r1111ty of Treatmont as the rropsr Expression of
.„ . . _
the Common Cause For Which the Empire's Youth ,
Laid Down Their Lives,
A despatch frem London says:*
St, Paulk Cathedral will be raluirt'd
More Portland steno that was used in
for the tombstones of the British sol..
die rs who fell in France, More than
500,00V ea bores will be Greeted
there before the work is finished.
They are behig plaeed iu 3,000 ceme-
teries; some Preneh, but the Vast mo-
Jority containingonly British dead.
The Imperial War Graves Commis-
sion has the task of erecting the lad -
stones fa:: all British dead. This corn -
mission represents all ,parts of the
empire that fought in the war, and is
controlled by the VaPIOUS parliaments
of the empire. Each state pays for
the graves of its own dead.
There bas been criticism a the uni-
form headstone by relatives of the
dead, who desire their own design to
be placed over the graves. But the
commission has pointed out that
though individual memorials may be
erected in England, it is essential that
absolute *equality of treatment be
. given all graves .in Franbe. The only
• difference in headstones will be the
dead man's symbol of grade and regl-
tnental badge and an inscription of
not more than eighty letters that may
be supplied by his. family.
A famous English author, who lost
a son in France, has described how in
one cemetery, glancing along the lines
cf,stones, he noticed the graves of a
nurse a private and a lieutenant -col-
onel lying side by side. Already some
fifty thousand graves are ready for
the erection of stones, and more than
75 per cent. of the relatives of such
men have chosen inscriptions for the
atokieg. The memorials are to last as
loug as stone 'and mortar can last,
They. are placed in a concrete layer,
so that no change in c onditign of soil
can ever affect them, So for genera-
tions the name of every .soldier 'will
remain in sight,
Concerning the objections to the
form of, cemeteries and headstones,
the reply is that their uniform char-
acter is the proper expression of their
purpose. They are the graves of Young
men who served together, fell togeth-
er and were bbund together by a com-
mon reactive and common fate
Even if it were desirable if would
not be practicable for relatives to put
up their own monuments. The rich
would erect different stones from the
poor. The relatives in the 'British Isles
'would possibly have monuments made
and ereeted in France, whereas those
in remote pats of the empire would
not be able to do so for years after-
ward. And then there would be di-
versity in' design and inscription.
In each cetnetery it is planned to
erect a Stone of Remembrance. It will
take the form of a block of Portland
stone weighing ten toils, with the in-
scription, "Their name liveth for ever-
more." This, it is estimated, will last
from two to three thousand years, and
survive the individual markers.
• NEW OIL -FIELDS
FOUND IN 'JEDDAH
Area is in Close Proximity to
Red Sea. •
A despatch from London says:—
British experts discovered another
highly important oil bearing- area in
the vicinity of Jeddah, not far from
the coast of the Red Sea. This dis-
covery was made by military air-
plane from Egypt. Airplanes are be-
ing extensively need by • British auth-
orities from Egypt for oil prospecting
in Arabia, as well as in Mesopotamia,
Palestine and Persia. The finde near
Jeddah still remains a closely guard-
ed official secret. The proximity of
the new Jeddah field to the Red Sea
coast makes the transport question
easy and adds immensely to the values
of the field. The uncertainty surround-
ing the future Government of Arabia
preients difficulties in obtaining Bri-
tish control for this new oil field for
the time being, but whichever of the
contending authorities is prepared to
recognize British rights to the oil
field will probably have British sup-
port.
Britain Liquidating
Her Debts Quickly
A despatch from Montevideo, Uru-
guay, says:—The British Government
has offered to advance to July 1 the
payment of $10,000,000 gold, part of
the credit of $30,000,000 given by
Uruguay for the purchase of products
of that country by Great Britain. The
p.ayment, under the credit agreement,
is due in December next. The Uru-
guayan Government has accepted the
British offer.
Population of the U.S.
Is Now 105,000,000
A despatch from Washington
says:—The population of continental
United States, under the 1920 census
enumeration, is approximately 105,-
000,000, according to an estimate
worked out b,' Dr. Joseph A. Hill,
chief statistician of the Bureau of
Census, division of revision and re-
sults. Under this estimate the in-
erease over 1910 is 13,000,000, in
round numbers, or approximately 14
per eent. trhe population in 1010 was
91,9'72,266.

Germany Lost 1,350,000
in the War
A despatch from Geneva says:—
Recent statistics published in Ger-
many on that country's war losses
state that 1,350,000 men were killed.
There are to -day 352,000 war widows,
according to the statistics, 1,130,000
war orphans and 500,000 maimed or
consumptives, supported mostly by
charity.

The Thing to Say First.
Walking narefully -into her great-
annt's room, Helen Blair unloaded her
arms of two nosegays of old-fashioned
garden flowers, a new book, several
•letters and a dish of strawberries in
a cool green nest of leaves,
"You're the most popular person in
the whole town, Aunt Letty," tse aid,
as she stooped to kiss her aunt, who
sat knitting' at the open window.
"Everyone is always sending you
things, and calling you up on the tele-
phone, and you certainly have more
visitors than any two girls in town,
How do you make people like you so?
I want to get your recipe,"
"It isn't much a a recipe," said Aunt
Letty, smiling up into the admiring
yourig eyes. "Perhaps it's only that
I've always remembered something
my mother told me many years ago
when I was about your age." -
Helen dropped down on the floor at
Aunt Letty's feet, and the old lady
went on to the accompaniment of her
clicking needles:
"There was a young glrl in our vil-
lage whose father lost all his money
through a bank failure, and soon after-
wards died. Well, Rose had to sup-
port herself somehow, put about the
only thing she could do was to paint.
I liked her and 'wanted to help her.
She was a fine gni, but very, very
sensitive.
"I thought and thought, Finally I
decided to ask her to paint a picture
of my, brother Jack, who was going cut
to Australia to live. Of course I talked
it over with Jack first, gad he agreed
to my plan, which was to be a surprise
for mother on her birthday.
"The day the picture was finished
Rose Mouse it to our house and we
opened it in the parlor, for mother had
gone to 'a sewing -society meeting that
afternoon. Dear me, I shall never for-
get how terribly disappointed I was
when I looked at it! The eyes wore
all wrong,
" !O Rose," I said; 'these aren't
Jack's eyes at all!'
"I suppose I must have salcit very
sharply, for Rose looked at use quick-
ly; then her own eyes filled with tears
and without a word she put her head
0 Canaila
0 Canada! Our heritage, our love,
Thy worth we praise all other lands above,
From sea to sea, throughout thy length,
From pole to borderland,
At Britain's side, whate'er 'betide,
Unflinchingly we'll stand.
With heart we sing
"God Save the l<ing."
"Guide Thou the Empire wide," do we implore,
"And prosper Canada from shore to shore."
Sh'pbuildingis an old Canadian in-
dustry, and in the flays of the ,wooden
ship Canada had achieved a promin-
ent place among the ship -building
countries of the world; as far back as
1863, ships to the value of $9,000,000
were built and sold to the 'United
States. When the purchasing power
of money in those days is taken into
account, this must be considered a re-
markable performance for a country
which at that time had only 3,400,000
people. With the incoming of the iron
and steel ship, the inpatry in the Do-
minion declined until at the outbreak
of the war it wasat a low ebb.
To -day shipbuildling has become one
of the leading Canadian industrieg,
with an investment of $60,000,000, and
according to the figures of 1918-1910
the Dominion had assumed third place
among the countries of the world in
this branch of industry. The number
of plants reported in 1918 was. 204, of
which BD were shipbuilding and 114
boat building, There were 19 plants
producing steel vessels, of a tonnage
running as high as 10,000 tons dead
weight. The plants were located as
follows:—Nova Scotia, 72; Ontario,
69; British Columbia, 26; Quebec,
23; New Brunswick, 6; Manitoba, 4;
Prince Edward Island, 2; and Alberta.

A many-sided task was yours; to teach ,
• The red man trust in British justice true,
Its meaning shown in action and in speech;
To help the weak new -comers to pursue
Their conquest o'er the untamed prairie land,
And make of this vast wilderness h home
Safe from mauraders' wild -debauching hand;
To heed the cry for aid from those who roam
The northern solitary stretches wild
Where Nature's rigor hath at times destroyed
,The mind's true poise, by loneliness beguiled;
And, day by day, to travel, thus employed,
Regarding neither heat, nor cold, nor rains,
Lone -leagues which named you "Riders of the Plains."
Such were the outward tasks. A greater still,
The inward one: to keep, where men were few,
Your spirits brave-, your bodies by your will
Controlled; to grant no whit of slackness due
To craven thought that none would ever know;
To find and use, as did your leaders, store
Of strength in silence; by your mien to show
Esteem and honor for the garb you wore—
Your Sovereign's scarlet. These the standards high,
Set by your founders, were by you attained,
Altho' no prize of fame you sought to buy.
Your acts and thoughts unconsciously were chained,
Making 'mind and heart a loyal thrall,
By fixed devotedness to duty's call. •

'If you can make them just a little

at my own son himself.'
" 'That isn't so hard,' said Roso,
smiling at my mother, 'and I'll do it

"When Rose was.gono I didn't say a
word to my mother for a minute or
two; then I stammered, 'I didn't moan
to hurt her feelings. You know I love
Rose and want to help her,'
" 'Of course you do, my clear,' said
my mother. 'Only next time when you
have something to find fault with try
to say the kind thing first.' "
Appeal for Money to

000 for its fabric fund. The cathedral
was ,built in days when architects and
engineers had no idea of the strain
that would be put oir their structures
by modern conditions. 'Sir Christopher

which is still oneof the wonders of
the world, provided foundations only

.As I travel along life's pathway,
Treading awhile each day,
The older I grow,the loss I know
Of what others should do and say.
'Tis enough -to be careful and listen
' To that conscience speaking withia,
The little voice which Ulu ao hard
To keep away from sin,
The voice 'of Our Father in heaven

Speaking to ns in tones of love,
Telling us He is always there,
Ready to help its our burdens share.
It's so worth while to do our best,
To make the goal, and stand the test,

FIERCE AND BLOODY CONFLICT
IN LONDONDERRY DIES DOWN
AnnY Has Taken Possession of Turbulent City ---,Fun
tent of Casualties Will Probably Never be Known
' A despatch from Londonderry
seys:—After a night of flethe Aring:
in which the oininoite rattle of ma-
chine guns intermittently drowned all
other aounds, Londonderry was quiet-
er on Thuraclay, and the inference is
drawn that the fierce and bloody eon-
flIct i ever. Some of the shops are
opening, and people 'again are min.
ing about the streets freely.
•The soldiers began Thursday morn-
ing to remove sandbags and clear
away the barricades, and, acting
promptly an their latest orders, the
troop drove the -warring elements off
the streets and out of their strong-
holds. Lewis machine guns were in
action from 8 o'clock Wednesday eight
until nearly midnight.
This is the first time quick -firing
guns have been used in Londonderry.
Only stray • sniping disturbed the
silence of the early morning hours,
Pour or five men were killed and
many injured behind the barricades
in Bishop street, from which, for the
first time, snipers fired on the troops.
The soldiers were grouped about their
field kitchen; instant11- they received
the order to return the fire. Thy
were reinforced by an armored car,
which sprayed the suspected position
of the snipers from ifs Lewk gun,
It.: aim could only be guided by Oc-
casional flashes in the darknesli, .but
in the end tile ear overwhelcned the
fire of its adversaries.
At dawn the sniping was reneWed.
Some of the snipers were thought to
be in the treea, and once more they
were silenced, only to renew casual
activity at 8 q'slook,
Tho destroyer in the liver was
forced to change its berth because of
the constant sniping'.
Many casualties were inflieted by
the military fire. Three severely
wounded men were conveyed to the
hospital early this morning, but It is
doubtful if the full extent of the
casualties will ever be known. Both
aides are credited with organising
secret hospitals end secret burial
grounds.
The city was dr:fting into a criti-
cal position, and residents continue
to leave, Some ,of them declare they
will never return. The gas supply is
exhausted, and the problem of the
food supply is a serious ono for many
families, Provision shops in many
quarters have been looted.
