Gredmo are resleting the advanee of
the Polish army, aoeorddug to offiotal
advices received hero by Cho Polish
Legation The outcome of the clash,
it was said, cannot yet bo determined,

ARMY STATISTICAL
WORK CONCLUDED
Canadian Expeditlor a`ry Force
Closes its Glorious Record.
A despatch from Ottawa says:—The
Canadian Expeditionary Force is no
more,
The fourteen N.C.O: s who were em-
ployed to conclude the statistical work
of the army have just writt,in "80"
records covering every unit and every
record's oavering everyu nit and every
Avian who ever donned the Canadian
funiform, -
Just the number of records kept of
every individual mean would come as
a surprise to even the soldiers whose
records they are. The Militia Depart -
anent has originals and duplicates of
about twenty-one army forms relating
to everyone who served.
Asked what was going to be done
with the thousands of apparently use-
less Books and army forms, a Militia
Department official stated that they
would be carefully preserved and lock-
ed away. -

A despatch from London says:—In
the announcement that laair, Percy Oox

to establish a native Arab Govern-

FRANCE AND ITALY
WHEAT CROP POOR
Must Depend on North Ameri-
ca for Food Supplies.
A despatch from Paris says:—Pre-
diet:one of experts on the French
grain crop this year, based on the first
results of the harvest in all parts of
France and information from other
countries, show that Canada and the
United States remain the only salva-
tion of France and Europe. The
French wheat crop will be one-fourth
lees than previously estimated and
78,000,000 'bushels, approximately,
less than the 1913 crop. The quality
of the grain is below normal, the
weight being 3 per cant. less than
usual. The yield• per acre is slightly
greater than 1913, but the total aver-
age is one-third Jess. To meet the
normal demand of consumption France
will have to import 80,000,000 bushels
of wheat.
The Italian harvest is also disap-
pointing and Italy will have to import
virtually the same amount as France
England is leaping to snake up the bad
crops of Australia and India by the
Russian negotiationa and purchases in
the United'SStates. There is little hope
of wheat from Argentine, as, due to
the local shortage its export is pro-
hibited, though if the December crop
is good the prohibition may be can-
celed.
The French wheat crop figures are:
1913, a yield of 309,000,000 .bushels;
1919, 109,000,000; 1920 estimate ,231,-
000,000 bushels.
For rye the figures are: 1913, 56,-
000,000 bushels; 1919, 30,000,000
bushels; 1920, estimated, 35,000.000,

A despatch from London says:—
Munitions and hydro -airplanes valued
at clearly $2,000,000, which recently
were confiscated by the Entente Com-
mission in the Pintsche works en the
Spree River, were destroyed Thursday
evening by the 3,000 employes of the
plant, many of whom are communists,
says a Berlin despatch to the London
Times.
The Reichsivehr was summoned out,
but proved powerless to act. The
Government is sending representa-
tives to the Beene.
Again Fails to
Swim English Channel
A despatch from Dever, Eng.,
says:—Another attempt by Henry
Sullivan of Lowell, Mase,,.to swine the
English Channel frown. Dover to Calais,
France, has ended in failure.
Sullivan started on the swim last
night at 8.40 o'clock; end was in the
water for 18 hours.
Owing to the rough sea- he was
forced then to abandon his attempt,
when ouily three miles oft' the French

The direct rotate between Dover and

CANADIAN GRAIN
IN LONDON MARKET
Denla_nd for Dollar Marks Re-
sumption of Open Trading.
'A despatch from London says:—
Canediatn grain is beginning to make
its appeavaance on the London open
market . for the first time after sev-
eral years detring which its sale has
been controlled. It is not the actual
grain itself—for that is being harv-
ested—but the , necessary financial
preliminaries to its disposal, known
as the buying of "forward exchange,"
According to Charles Gamble, mane
ager of the London branch of the
Bank of Corn netce, there is a very
•bxtisk demand for Canadian dollars on
the part of London brokers, which
marks the resumption of open trad-
ing following adoption by the Can-
adian Wheat Board. Asa result a
steady rise in the value of the dollar
in sterling may be expected.
While the pound is being quoted
in London to -day at $4.03, exchange
for futures is already as low here as
$3.96. This demand for dollars comes
from the London grain brokers.
The Royal Commission on wheat
supplies, which in past years hats
made its arrangements with. the Can-
adian Wheat Board, will now buy
through the brokers here who in turn
will deal with brokers in Canada.
Canadian bankers here expect the
Dominion erop will be disposed of at
prices at least es good as last year's
when wheat was quoted to the Greek
Government at over three dollars,
Utilize Western Coal
For Eastern Industries
A despatch from Toronto says:—
It is expected that substantial effort
will be made to arrange fox the im-
portation of large quanbiities of 'West-
ern Canadian coal for use in mills
and plants of Ontario and Quebec
firms. Already the Ontario Mining
Association has investigated the fear-
ibiiity of using western coal for min-
ing and milling operations; and it has
been fond quite suitable, The next
step will be its importation in suffi-
cient quantities to ensues an adequate
supply for eastern industries.
The high cost of American steam
coal due to freights, exchange. and
other things is one of the factors mili-
tating against its continuous import
for use du Ontario mills,

A despatch from Vancouver says:—
Steamship companies on the Pacific
Coast have raised the first class fare
from San Francisco, Seattle and Van,-
eouver to Yokohama to $300, and no
reduction on round-trip. tickets. Pre-
vious to the war, in 1914, a first-class
round -the -world ticket, via Suez and
return by the Pacific, or vice verso,
could be purchased for $625, At pres-
ent it maid net be obtained for less

The Presence of a Man.
The force of personality still is
superior to the power of machinery;
it is, in fact, eerbh's primal energy,
Never will the creature of man's hand
enable us wholly to dispense with a
man's presence. We still go from
bucldings and we desert .woad and
stone and renounce the tyranny of
things for the glow •and"the thrill of
a personal ,contact.
"He led his :soul, his cause, his clan
A little from the ruck of things."
Could a higher tribute be paid to
man -power than these words of Rud.
yard Kipling an praise of Joseph
Chamberlain ?
Till the man comes, ea army is but
a headless horde; a nation is a mere
assembly of states or clans or fac-
tions; a business'de but an aimless
assortment of purposes and aross-
pnrposes. The co-ordinating hand is
needed. There must be some one who
sees from top to bottom 'mei from. end
to end.; some one who can plan and
imagine, accept acid discard, reed
human nature and choose wisely the
subordinate factors,
Sometimes the striker, caught up
in the hectic hour. •of communicative
impulse, forgets that the business of
which he was a part did not run of
itself and did not automatically bring
in the money that he received in bis
pay envelope. It was a success be-
cause a man higher up, a man making
the bard choices, taking the knocks
.and facing the responsibilities, framed
and followed a wise policy. Large in-
dusteial dealings are forever looking
for a genuine directing ability, be-
cause great sums of invested 'capital
are isnperiled by executive decisions.
The cheap 115811 in a place he is in-
competent to 1111 may be disastrously
expensive, for his plan is not feasible
and the money that he spends on the
scheme is money wasted.
In every walls of life or wotic of
human beings people count and per-
sonality prevails, It is not necessary
that a man should be heard for his
much speaking. His silent presence
may be most effectual. His written
word may reach a vast audience of
readers, invisible, afar. But the
power of the man is felt in all his
acts and ,in his language, and to see
him is to feel that here is one in
whom we can place our trust, for he
es fearless .and unselfish, as he is
groat and good.
The Science of Roads.
At a road conference in Paris it
Was decided that the proper spread-'
ing of tar on macadamised roads is an
effective moans of preventing dust.
The method is largely used in France,
About ono -third of a gallon of tar Is
used fol• each square yard of surface.
The roads last longer and the cost of
maintenance is reduced.
In Canada oil is employed to a con-
siderable extent to prevent dust and
preserve tho surface of roads, The
Oil is spread Froin carts during the
making of the road to the amount of
bile or two gallene a square yard,
The French road engineers reeom=
mend the planting of trees along
roadsides, as a means of preventing
dust, in Franco all roads not less
than thirty -throe feet wide are re-
quired to have a single line of trees
on each side, at distances apart vary-
ing from sixteen to thirty-two feet.

Sati is Abolished by State
in India.
A despatch from ICetmandu, inde-
pendent State of Nepal, India, Says
that after a fight lasting half a cen-
tury a lave has at last been passed
there abolishing sats, or the suicide of
a widow on her husband's funeral
pyre. Safi is now an offence under
the law of Nepal, and inciting to it
and abetting in it are punishable. of-
fences.
The practice of sati is as old as the
Shastree, the sacred writings of the
I3indus, Close on three centuries
passed in India before attempts by Ak-
bar, the famous Mogul Emperor, re-
sulted in any steps effectively limit-
ing it, Finally, In the time of Lord
William Bentinck, nearly half a cen-
tury ago, the right of a woman to take
her life on her husband's funeral pyre
was limited to wives of certain age,.
Later this law 'was amended and
sats was forbidden where a wife was
about to become a mother or in the
event she had minor children, Thus
the wall of ancient custom and re-
ligious usage was broken down, until
at last the right of a wife to take her
own life at the death of her husband
is• denied.
The present Prime Minister, Ntaita-
raja Chandra ahem Shere Jung, is
responsible for the new law, During
his term of office he has put a ban on
the use of opium in Nepal and is con-
ducting a strong campaign against the
use of intoxicating drinks.

Sati is Abolished by State
in India.
A despatch from ICetmandu, inde-
pendent State of Nepal, India, Says
that after a fight lasting half a cen-
tury a lave has at last been passed
there abolishing sats, or the suicide of
a widow on her husband's funeral
pyre. Safi is now an offence under
the law of Nepal, and inciting to it
and abetting in it are punishable. of-
fences.
The practice of sati is as old as the
Shastree, the sacred writings of the
I3indus, Close on three centuries
passed in India before attempts by Ak-
bar, the famous Mogul Emperor, re-
sulted in any steps effectively limit-
ing it, Finally, In the time of Lord
William Bentinck, nearly half a cen-
tury ago, the right of a woman to take
her life on her husband's funeral pyre
was limited to wives of certain age,.
Later this law 'was amended and
sats was forbidden where a wife was
about to become a mother or in the
event she had minor children, Thus
the wall of ancient custom and re-
ligious usage was broken down, until
at last the right of a wife to take her
own life at the death of her husband
is• denied.
The present Prime Minister, Ntaita-
raja Chandra ahem Shere Jung, is
responsible for the new law, During
his term of office he has put a ban on
the use of opium in Nepal and is con-
ducting a strong campaign against the
use of intoxicating drinks.
Self -Government for Egypt.
Lord Milner, upon whose report on
the condition of Egypt, and recom-
mendation, Great Britain is consider-
ing the advisability of granting local
autonomy to Cho land of Pharaoh.
