Treaty Requires France's Signa-
ture to Make Up Necessary
Three.
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.

Doing Trade With the' New Serbia
Openings for trade in which Canada
might well participate are being more
and more found, sometimes in unex-
petted places, in European countries.
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

•
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. '

RabJ it9 to Help
the Meat S3npply
"Meant is fnightfully high these
days," sighs Mistress housekeeper,
Indeed, it le, and government auth-
orities say that, though it may go
considerably higher, it will never be
cheaper, Flow inexpensive, from our
present viewpoint, Teem the good old
days . wkeal fowls were twenty-two
cents a: pound and porterhouse steals
twenty-five cents.
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.

RabJ it9 to Help
the Meat S3npply
"Meant is fnightfully high these
days," sighs Mistress housekeeper,
Indeed, it le, and government auth-
orities say that, though it may go
considerably higher, it will never be
cheaper, Flow inexpensive, from our
present viewpoint, Teem the good old
days . wkeal fowls were twenty-two
cents a: pound and porterhouse steals
twenty-five cents.
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.
"Over lite graves where our hooses lie
buried," •
-Maples have ttung their bright mant-
les to guard
Every dear comrade asleep from kis
labors,
Weary with fight}lg, with watchings
and ward.
11Iemories gather around tho green
leaflets,
Trembling with love and delight as
of yore,
Echoing voices resounding among
then,
Sisters, and sweethearts, and picnics
galore!
Every breath blowing across those
green graves, will
Carry a message from us far away,
Breathing u prayer for their happy
awakening,
And of the joye at the break of the
Day,
"in1y! The trust wo now place on
your shoulders, ,
Faithfully Hold till the end of all
time.
Maples will plied their winged seeds
to enrich you,
Honor you always, with sweetness
at rime.
Hawker.
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.
