Are SINN FEIN FORCES CAPTURE CONVOY OF GOVEMENT TROOPS Burned Lorries in Which Troops Were Being Transported and Marched Entire Detachment off into the Mountains, . A despatch from London nays: --••Tho 24-hour lull ie. hoetilibies in Ireland was broken when Sinn Fein forces surprised and captured a convoy of Government troops near I(eimaneigh, The lorries hi which the troops were being. convoyed were burned and the entire detachment of men marched off into the mountains, The convoy, was proceeding from Milletreet toward Ballingeary when taken, In daylight fighting between the military forcee and Irish Volunteers in Brures, County Limerick, on Thurs- day, one soldier and five citizens were killed:. Volunteers held up the soldier guard of the Bank of Ireland in Dublin at 11 o'clock Thursday night. Shots were fired. Two of the soldiers were wound- ed. The others were disarmed. The Westmeath .police .barracks were burned Thursday night. where t Ireland es In south and w Police were the Pl ago cs driven out weeks and are centred now only in larger towns, new disturbers accused of be- ing in league with the police, called "alit! Sinn Fein gangs" are begin- ning to appear. Ill Bantry, County Cork, they have burned a Mtge establiehcnont 'belong ing to a Protestant' Unionist, but staffed by Sinn Feinera, In the village of Newport they have burned two creameries: In 13.allylaatder they burn- ed a store. The total night's damage is estimated at. $200,000. They are a new terror to the country in parte which lately were cotnparatively tranquil. The resignations of Iriah Police, are increasing, and exceed an average of five daily. Presumably with a view to encouraging the break-up of the police force Sinn Fain headquarters has is- aued an urgent recommendation that police resignations would be wel- comed. It has added to the fund which -is being provided to assist cases of spe- cial hardship, The clubs are directed to encourage the mon to resign, Re- cruitment for the polite greatly ex- ceeds the resignations, however, but the recruits are coming from every class of Irishmen, being obtained by advertisement frbm England. BOLSHEVISTS . TRAIN ARMENIANS Turk Leader Refuses to Sur- render to Greeks. A despatch from Constantinople says:—The Bolshevik army operating from Baku through Armenia took Couclta, 264 miles southwest of Baku, virtually unopposed, as well as 'Ger- ousy, 24 miles southwest of Couclta, the next important town on the wagon route to the Tabriz railway. In Baku the Bolshevdki are training a large Armenian Communist army to assist in the overthrow of the Ar- menian Republic. British warships have seized a Rus- sian ship from Nikolalev at Trebizond carrying Bolshevik arras and ammuni- tion for the Nationalists. Many ru- mors are in circulation in Constan- tinople with regard to a possible Greek movement thrqugh Samsun. to- ward Angora for the purpose of cut- ting Nationalist communications with the Bolsheviki. All is quiet in Thrace, save for artillery and counter battery work, Djafar, the Turkish insurgent leader, claims to have silenced many guns of the Greeks. However, Greek -rein- forcements continue to land on the Sea of Marmara coast end inarch over- land to Luleburgas. Djafar has been vainly appealed to to surrender and avoid useless bloodshed. Fear Sedition on "Increase Increase in India A despatch from Bombay, India, says:—The Indian situation is becom- ing graver, and there :is daily danger of a general outbreak. The debate in the -Mouse of Lords on the Amritsar decision has accentuated •racial an- tagonists, and seditious utterances are widespread throughout India.

In the general elections of 1916 the Liberals gained 30 seats and the Conservatives 13. AIR ROUTE .CANADA TO WEST INDIES New British Syndicate Plans Big Aerial Service. A despatch from London says:—The linking up of Canada with the 'Vest Indies by an aerial` service is reported to be the ultimate object of a syndi- cate which has been formed by a group of British firms for the pro- motion of civil flying in the Bermudas. According to the reported plans of the syndicate the route will be from a point in Nova Scotia to the Bee- muclas, and thence to all the West Indian Islands, to British Honduras and to Demerara. • The company is said to be planning for a series of flying stations at suit- able points in the West Indies. Ar- rangements are almost completed for making a start at Trinidad, the most important British island in the south of the group, and one within easy fly- ing range (360 miles) of Georgetown, the capital of Demerara, Similar plans are being pushed forward with regard to the Bahamas in the north of bh.e great circle. It is likely that if the scheme is developed according to the present plans, the syndicate will op- erate a regular passenger and mail service. NEW COAT OF ARMS FOR DOMINION Design Has Reached Herald's College, Hence to the Xing. A despatch from Ottawa says:—The design for the new Canadian coat -of - arms has gone to the College of Her- alds. The procedure is somewhat in- volved. After approval by the Can - i adian Government, the design goes to the College of Heralds, where it is pos- s1ble some minor technical changes may be suggested. Subsequently formal approval is given by the King - in -Council on instructions issued to the Earl Marshall, who is head of the College of Heralds. The new coat -of -arms bears the de- vice, "A marl usque ad mare" (frons sea to sea). It is taken from the singularly appropriate line in the 72nd Psalm: "He shall have. dontin,ion from sea to sea," Approval of the coat -of -arms was the last act of the Barden Govern- ment, Both Greece and Egypt Want Canadian Flour A despatch from Ottawa says:— Greece and Egypt are 10 the market for wheat and flour. The former wants 18,000 tons, and Egypt a maxi - 'Mum of 300,000 tons. Greece seeks a 'Canadian credit to finance her pur- chase. Egypt hes also asked quota- tions from Australia, and has been ad- vised that one will be given only in "a couple of months. As there is no longer wheat control, the inquiries have been referred to the grain deal- ers. There is no longer provision for financial credits,. which expired auto- matically last December. Australia Expects Surplus; Wheat 'Crop A despatch from Melbourne, Aus- tralia, says:—Because of the benefi- cial rains in the Commonwealth dur- ing the past six weeks crop 'p respects ect s in°all the rural districts are considered excellent It is expected Australia will have an exportable wheat surplus this year, THE PRINCE IN AUSTRALIA The oldest son oe Ifing George is here shown shaking hands with Maori women Rt'RotOrlla Australis, The Prince said the reception given him by the Maori Chide was the fliiest he hail ever witnessed. The hAre•Pooted Maori maiden seeine particularly pleased with herself after shaking hands with the Prince, but His Royal Highness Is evidently perturbed at meeting these strangely -garbed maidens. II A LETTER. FROM' 1 LONDON I King George was always a warn admirer of Lord Kitchener, whom he held in great personal esteem. Some time ago be ordered Sir George Arthur's "Life" to be sent to him as soon as it was published, and His Majesty has been reading the volumes with great interest. It is his intention to have ilte'book placed in each of the Royal libraries. His Majesty has a very fine collec- tion of biographies of famous soldiers and sailors of his time, and he often refers to them. He much prefers works of biography and travel to fic- tion, which, indeed, he rarely reads. *• * * Queen Alexandra has always loved dogs. At one time there were some fifty dogs of almost every variety in the lasinels at Sandringham, though these have now been reduced in. num- bers. Borzois, or Russian wolfhounds, were at one time Her Majesty's favor- ites, and she was frequently photo- graphed -"with them. Several former four -footed favorites of Her Majesty are buried in the grounds of Sand- ringham. If Prince Henry takes seriously to cricket he will be breaking away from the traditions of our Royal family, though his ancestor, Frederick Prince of Wales, George II.'s son, died through being struck by a cricket ball, King Edward VII. once made one runt in a country -house match, but con- fessed that the game bored him. King George has, I believe, never played. s, * * * At many functions at which King George is present, a well-known figure is Lord .Stamfordham, He is the prin- cipal private secretary to the King, and his work is very strenuous and exhausting. It is not generally known that, as a matter of precaution, the King's de - of my brothers was a `Lifey, one was otvsA First "let and o a aTower Hat. n , Royal," he explained. "But you?" in- terposed Earl Haig. Well, I didn't do anyfink," replied the caddie.. "But I'm going to mance good. I'm going to carry your bloom!n' clubs for nuffink!" * * * I remember the late Bishop of Dur- ham chiefly as an admirable raconteur who never smiled at his own jokes. On one occasion the conversation turn- ed to infantile recollections, and we were all trying to outdo one another. But Dr. Moule easily carried off the honors, at least in fertility of imagin- ation, "I once heard my nurse say a bad word," he said reminiscently, "and I remember thinking, 'When I can talk I'll tell mother,' " Perhaps the cream of the joke lay in the fact that quite half the company present, being in- capable of suspecting a bishop of leg - pulling, took the story for sober truth. * * ,, * A distressed M.P. remarked the other day, apropos the high cost of living, "Even politicians need food." That is true, but the needs of politi- cians vary, and the differences be- tween Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. As- quith are not confined merely to ideas about legislation. Mr. Asquith, al- though he enjoys simple meals, likes them good and square, and excitement never takes away his appetite. He slid not go short rations at Paisley. Mr. Lloyd George, on the other hand, is said to eat very little during elec- tion campaigns subsisting mainly on China tea and cigarettes. He follows a notable precedent in this direction, Mrs. Gladstone once said of her hus- band that, at periods of great tension, he would "live on the wind if he could."—BIG BEN. Abolish. Franking by M.P.P. A despatch from Ottawa says:— In accordaece with an amendment to the Post Office Act passed during the recent session of Parliament, the de- partment has abolished what have hitherto been known as Provincial tective is in his entourage whenever franking privileges. Postmasters are His Majesty fulfills a social or State instructed not to accept matter frank - duty; but even he is recognizable by ed by the members of Provincial Leg- many—and, needless to say, he is islatures. quite unlike the popular conception of .____-0 a detective. * * * French Premier Meets There will be no one to controvert With Obstacles Mr. Balfour's right to his new title A despatch from Paris says:—Pre- • mier Millerand suffered the most seri- of "our most distinguished bachelor,' conferred upon hien by the Speaker: in the House of Commons. But at West- minster he Inas as rivals several mem- bers of both Houses of Parliament, notably his "brither Scots," Lord Hal- dane and Sir Robert Horne. There is in the House of Commons, in the opinion of Sir Donald Maclean, an alarmingly strong leaven of bachel- ors, of whoni the more outstanding are Lord Hugh Cecil and Earl Winterton, bot forgetting the Prime Minister's two able lieutenants, Sir William Suth- erland and Sir Philip Sassoon, * * * * ous set -back of his premiership on Thursday, when the finance committee of the Chamber of Deputies, by a vote of fourteen to twelve, rejected the Spa agreement, which provides that France should pay Germany 200,000,- 000,000 francs for coal, Twenty Killed in German Munition Factory Explosion A despatch from Berlin says:— Twenty-one workmen were killed and 76 severely and six slightly injured in Even Dukes have to economize these the explosion of a munition factory on days, and a further indication of that Thursday at Nueeehen, sixty miles fact is to be found in the scrapping southwest of Prague. of the famous conservatory at Chats- worth. It is now no more than sdrap- iron and broken glass, In a normal winter it took about three' hundred tons of coal to heat the seven miles of piping in this build= ing, and if a spell of severe weather set in the quantity has been known to increase to five hundred tons. It can't be done in these days. * * * * A good story is going the rounds regarding an encounter between Earl Haig, who does a lot of golfing, and a weather-beaten sportsman who was acting as his caddie, Earl Ilaig no- ticed the caddie was round-shouldered, and wore neither Silver Badge nor medal ribbons, "Have you served?" asked the Field- Marshai. The caddie hedged, "One EMIL FBI$UL NO LONGER KING France Ready to Administer Mari.date Over Syria. A despabeb f}'cin Paris says: -•-Emir Feleul is no longer King of Syria, The French Foreign Office anlioi?nced on Thursday that ho WAS 1101, General Gouraud, who hos captured Damascus, Feline's Cap.tal, has issued a proclamation etatieg that the 8iinir from now on is a private citizen. and, furthermore, tisat Emir has been in- vited to leave the eountty with all his family. Syria has no new King yet, but it bas a brand new Ministry, hand-picked by Gouraud, which has ac- cepted all the French conditions, in- eluding a fine of 10,000,000. franca upon Damascus and the vicinity. The Preach now appear in a posi- tion to adm:inieter their mandate over Syria, which they hold under the League of Natiohs, j)tst as the English have the League mandate in Mesopo- tas da, although the minutes of the League Council's meeting will pro- bably be found utterly barren of any record of either affair. Feisul has not been heard from sines Gouraud's troops entered Dam- ascus. He owes the French 80,000,000 francs they paid hint "to feed the hungry Syrians." However, a con- siderable portion of this money has beenreceived ret i i in munitionsseized at Damascus, where Feisul stored much of his "food for hungry Syrians." The Gift of Sleep. Sleep, at the right time, is one of man's foremost friends and benefac- tors; at the wrong time it is a curse, for it comes as the paralyzing .incubus upon his hand and his mind when he should be broad awake and at his work. It is a solemn thing to think about, that if 'we average eight hours of every twenty-four in slumber we are in the Land of Nod for a third of our whole terns on earth. At this rate the man who lives to the age of sixty has spent twenty years in bed. It has made some active spirits irate against nature and the establish- ed order that they should have to spend so much time unconscious and unproductive; the idleness has irked them, end, burning the candle at both ends in their defiance of physiological laws, they have generally paid for it. The rule is that we rest, not that: we may form habits of sloth and self- indulgence, but that we may find re- creation and' recuperation for the day that follows the night --the day that tests our mettle and urges to endea- vor. Sleep is supposed to send ue back into the fray clear-eyed, serene, corroborated. "I climb when I lie down," said that poet of the mystics, Henry Vaughan; and by it he meant that his finite mortality had risen star by star till it laid hold upon in- finity: The apparent humility was an aspiration. He stood at Heaven's gate not by the pride of life, not by self-assertion, not by being eccentric, but .in the mortification of vanity and with .all "chastening and subduing of the soul." Mark Twain and Robert Louis Stevenson were two of no small num- ber of writers who wrote in bed be- cause of the comfortable relaxation and the seclusion The wits of neither were benumbed, and you could not call either of these prolific and suc- cessful authors lazy. But it does not follow that their mimeo An respect to a recumbent posture for authorship will succeed in copying their happy graces in the way of a literary style. The strong man seeks a workroom, not a resting place. He stays at work till his work is done. He trains himself—with an Edison—not to let himself sleep till 4.1e has tracked the shy idea he is hunting to its lair. Men who have followed an engineering car- eer afield—men who have fought a war—men who have sailed a ship through a storm—men of action in all times and places—can (if they will) tell us how they have made sleep sub- servient to their own iron wills. They have done their duty and let the res- pite wait till the task was ended and the wage was earned. Mankind are always happier for. having ;been happy; so that -if you make them 'happy now, you make them happy twenty years hence by the memory of it, SOT: c" -E;1 MPATM I 'A1,1-\E5I KNow • Wn0 WON 1St WA a• • I9 CONVINCED! —~ It's a Guest Life If You Don't Weaken Oscar E.

The Commission of Conservation has received reports from a number of points in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick indicating that this is an exceptionally heavy seed year for white spruce in eastern Canada. There promises to be a good yield of white pine -.seed as well. Last year there was practically no spruce seed In eastern Canada. Heavy aeed years for spruce and pine usually occur only every fourth year, therefore those who wish to collect the seed should take ad- vantage of the abundant crop this year. White spruce seed ripens in ;Sep- tember and the cones should be col- lected just before they open. If picked too early, the seeds will be immature, and if left tiU the cones open, the seeds will have dropped out. The increasing attention being given to reforestation has developed a large home market for tree seeds, In addition to the various govern- mental and commercial nurseries, sev- eral of the pulp companies, including the Laurentide, Abitibi, Spanish River and Rlordon, have nurseries. There are also good markets in the United States and Great Britain for Canadian tree seeds. Heretofore, the nurseries on this continent have had to depend largely on European seed, owing to the limited amount of native seed col- lected. The European seed has not been entirely satisfactory for our cli- mate and hardy native stock is prefer- red when obtainable. During the last few years the de- mand for tree seeds has always ex- ceeded the supply and this spring $10 per lb. could be secured for white spruce seed. This, however, is excep- tionally high, $5 being considered a reasonable price. The cost of collect- ing and preparing the seed for the market varies with the local condi- tions, but in a good aced year it should not exceed $2 per Ib. Endangered Atlantic Shipping g by German Mine A despatch from Philadelphia says:—Somewhere on the surface of the Atlantic between the Delaware and Chesapeake Capes a dangerous mine is drifting, a menace to coast- wise and foreign shipping. The mine was planted en the coast waters by German marines on .the occasion of their surprise visit in 1918. Double watches are being maintain- ed day and night on all ships by men using powerful glasses endeavoring to catch a glimpse of the death -dealing contrivance. -4- Miss Frances T aylbr of Loudon, Ont„ who won 'the Man • toba Free Press prize tor the be t poems written on Manitoba's Fiftlet t Anniversary.
