A ,despatch from Paris says;• -It is expected, in French circles'that the discussion of the German peace treaty will open about August 10th in the Chamber of Deputies, and will con- tinue for three or four days. There will then be a three or. 'four-day -dis- cussion in the Senate. A suggestion that the French would not consider the treaty until the Unit- ed States had acted, camp from M. Franklin -Bouillon and other oppon- ents to Premier Clemenceau, who are considered to have political 'reasons foe. delay. Blit it ,is generally believed that M. Clemenceau will be able to bring' about a speedy consideration. As Japan is supposed to have a copy of the treaty by this time, and the Emperor's ratification is expected at an early date, French officials are of the opinion that the treaty will • be- come.effective when the French ratify, about August 20th;- England has al- ready ratified the treaty, and the sign- atures of only three great powers are necessary to mance it effective.

The Canadian ' Trade Coumnission quotes the following interesting facts from the report of the British Econo- mic Mission in Serbia:— 'fWitat Serbia needs Serbia is able to pay for, This ntay semi strange, but it Is a feet that, apart altogether from indemnities for the damage done during the war, the peasant population and shopkeepers have plenty of money —in dinars and'Austrian crowns. The explanation is simple. The people in the country during enemy occupation spent little or nothing. on luxuries and all the while Were receiving high prices tor their goods' amt.' produce. They have sold. ,but not bought, and aro nota 1n a'15osition' to buy largely. Payment in a form acceptable to the manufacturers' would be a difficulty, and much benefit would follow the es- tabl.islunent of a local British bank, It is the intention of the Government to withdraw at an early date enemy a - • paper money from circulation, and to replace it with State paper money of the Kingdom of Serbia, Croatia and Slavonia (Jugo-Slavia). This State money will be in dinars and be under Government guarantee. The rate of conversion will be 30 dinars per 100 crowns. The total value of Austrian crowns now in circulation in the new Kingdom is estimated at about eiglt,t lnilliarcls, Other arrangements are being made in regard to a central ex- change office. The population of Old Serbia is about four mullions, and of. Jugo-Slavia ten millions. It is a backward coun- try, but one with great possibilities. The people as customers incline, first of all, to England, and then to the Al- lfed" countries; falling England altd the Alts they must go back to those eneml`os'tvith whom they treed to trade and by whom their methods are tvell understood. -If merchants and mana- facturers wish to establish a footing in this market they must take steps at once to organize the necessary sup- plies.

Manifestly, there is need of some new source 'of meat '%apply, and gov- ernment experts point to the rabbit. There is the animal that can furnish it, You think of the rabbit as a small animal, furnishing' correspond- ingly little meat. But there are well- known domesticated varieties, easily bred and reared, that attain a weight of eleven to twenty pounds. Not many year's' ago there was quite en excitement in this country about Belgian hares, which it was proposed to breed for meat, says tho Philadel- phia Ledger. huge prices were paid for pedigreed stock and many persons started in to raise them. But the "boom" eventually collapsed because at that time there was no real need for a new source of meat. Now it is different, and numerous thrifty persona have very quietly taken up »•abbit raising, first for home use and then for sale. City and sub - titan dwellers are breeding rabbits in their backyards. Boys' and girls' rabbit clubs have gone into the busi- ness on a considerable scale. There is money in it. Whenever rabbit raising has been undertaken in a community a demand for breeding stock and meat sufficient to absorb the output at good prices has arisen, Otte resident of Kansas City pro- duces 300 to 400 pound:; of rabbit meat a. year, for his own table, at a cost of eight to ten eents a pound. Another has reared in his backyard in eighteen - months enough rabbits of registered stork, for sale as breeders, to clear $2400. A large religious institution in Nebraska raises rabbits initend of poultry and finds them more antis - factory. Europeans took up this idea long ago, Before the war 100,000,000 rob - bits were annually raised and market- ed in France. England was producing 40,000,000 yearly, and the consump- tion of rabbits in London amounted to 500,000 pis. daily. The value of rab- bit meat imported into Great Britain from'Auatralda and New Zealand in a twelvemonth wds $4,500,000. The Trust.

Manifestly, there is need of some new source 'of meat '%apply, and gov- ernment experts point to the rabbit. There is the animal that can furnish it, You think of the rabbit as a small animal, furnishing' correspond- ingly little meat. But there are well- known domesticated varieties, easily bred and reared, that attain a weight of eleven to twenty pounds. Not many year's' ago there was quite en excitement in this country about Belgian hares, which it was proposed to breed for meat, says tho Philadel- phia Ledger. huge prices were paid for pedigreed stock and many persons started in to raise them. But the "boom" eventually collapsed because at that time there was no real need for a new source of meat. Now it is different, and numerous thrifty persona have very quietly taken up »•abbit raising, first for home use and then for sale. City and sub - titan dwellers are breeding rabbits in their backyards. Boys' and girls' rabbit clubs have gone into the busi- ness on a considerable scale. There is money in it. Whenever rabbit raising has been undertaken in a community a demand for breeding stock and meat sufficient to absorb the output at good prices has arisen, Otte resident of Kansas City pro- duces 300 to 400 pound:; of rabbit meat a. year, for his own table, at a cost of eight to ten eents a pound. Another has reared in his backyard in eighteen - months enough rabbits of registered stork, for sale as breeders, to clear $2400. A large religious institution in Nebraska raises rabbits initend of poultry and finds them more antis - factory. Europeans took up this idea long ago, Before the war 100,000,000 rob - bits were annually raised and market- ed in France. England was producing 40,000,000 yearly, and the consump- tion of rabbits in London amounted to 500,000 pis. daily. The value of rab- bit meat imported into Great Britain from'Auatralda and New Zealand in a twelvemonth wds $4,500,000. The Trust.

Well done, bold Anzac, courser of tho shy! The world has seen so many a daring deed Of reckless chance, it first gave little hoed, When you and gallant Grieve made bold to fly . Across the wide Atlantic, bearing high Brittania's flag. Your deepest hope had been To place your Empire in the lead again— Your deed has proved you not afraid to try. When those who knew the sea de- clared you lost, The world gate up, save one who loved you most: Then leen pi ld tribute to your cour- age rdre That o'er the pathless waste 11at1 tem- pests braved, And all tho world now joins in thank- ful prayer To God, that gallatit Ilawker has been ,saved. —Robert E, Park.
