PROSPECT of . OF UNITED ' COUNTRY
! A despateh from Dublin says:
g P
Though expected, the breakdown
of
the Boundary Conference has created
no little shock in the Free State, .and
it has set everybody anticipating the
gravest possibility, not even excluding
a recourse to arms. There has been
absolutely no . moralor material
ehenge in the positions taken up by
he preliminaries at Belfast and Dub=
sjn toward the question, and no
'change of heart which matters more
bran the giving up of boundaries. And
the position has been aggravated in
theeyes of the Free Staters by the
manner in which, it is alleged, the
Belfast Government has so rry-
mandered the electoral areas in the
disjP uteri counties that one Unionist
May outvote two Free Staters; and
this again has so enraged the latter
that they abstained in the Northern
local elections, leaving the field clear
for their opponents' unopposed return,
Thus border passions are deeply
stirred and the bitterest feelings have
been recreated. Relying on the act of
1920, the Northern Unionists say that
they will not yield an inch of terri-
tory, and though they did recognize
theother eth article theywill not recog-
nize
nize Article 12 of the treaty, which
Cosgrave's Government must insist
upon or else quit.
The Irish Times looks at the pres-
ent situation in the gloomiest possible
light, though it admits that the terms
of the treatyare perfectly clear. If
the British Government, it says, de-
cides that, h the absence of a North-
ern representative on the Commission,
the latter cannot operate, itwill pre-
sent every enemy of the Free State
with the appallingly dangerous argu-
ment that by British action the Anglo-
Irish Treaty has becomenull and void.
If a cemmisison of two members op
erates and determines the boundary
of Northern Ireland, the British Gov-
ernment will be bound to enforce its
findings. The inevitable result will
be, the paper says, a struggle -per-
haps an armed struggle -that will.in-
volve the three Governments and will
ruin the slowly reviving prosperity of
both Irish States andwill give free
scope, to all the elements of lawless-
ness and make Irish unity impossible
for hundred years.
MAN AND WIFE SLAIN
ON NORTHERN FARM
Robbery Supposed to be Ob.
ject of Brutal Murder Near
Fort Frances.
A despatch from Fort Frances
says: -John Sward, 60 years old, and
his wife were the victims of a brutal
murder, believed to have been perpe-
trated with an axe, according to re-
ports received from Stratton, Ont., in
which district the Swards had, lived
for many years. News of the crime!
was transmitted by Joseph Vicnawd
a neighbor of the slain couple, and the,
Provincial Police, accompanied by the
Coroner, have left for the scene of.
the crime.
Vicnaw spent Wednesday ebening
with the Swards. When he returned
the next morning to assist with some
chores he stumbled across the body of
the, farmer lying beneath a horse
blanket about thirty feet from the
dwelling. Hurrying into the house,
Vicnaw found the mutilated body of
Mrs. Swardlying on the bed. The
bodies of both victims were horribly
bruised and slashed, indicating that
an axe or similar weapon had been
used.
Robery has been advanced as the
only theory for the crime.
British Globe Flyers
May Choose New Route
A despatch from Vancouver
says :-Orders to report on an altern-
ative northern route for the British
globe flyers have been received at
headquarters of the Royal Air Force
here. Monday Flight -Lieut. Earl Mc-
Leod will fly to Prince Rupert and
other northern points to a lake north
of Edmonton, Alta. It is stated that
the northern route is six hundred
miles shorter than that by way of
Vancouver, and that there are more
lakes in which to land.
Not to go forward in the way of
virtue is to go backward.
U.S. WILL CEASE TO
BE A "MELTING POT"
Immigration ation Restriction
Will Have Effect on Char-
acter of Citizenship.
Washington, April 27. -Final ac-
tion on the Immigration Restriction
Bill is expected in Congress this week.
Its enactment, it is held, will result
in "a distinct type of American citi-
zen" and do away with "the hyphen
vote." Under it the United States
will cease to be a "melting pot."
Organizations at work on sugges-
tions to ease down the feeling over
the Japanese exclusion provision of
the immigration measure hope to in-
fluence the House and Senate in favor
of diplomatic conferences with Japan
on the subject.
To this end the National Committee
on American -Japanese relations has
asked Congress to "empower the
President and the Secretary of. State
to enter into conferences with the
Japanese Government for the pro-
longation of the agreement now ex-
isting) in some acceptable form or
for its revocation in 'accordance with
the usual forms of ordinary polite-
ness in international intercourse."
In case this suggestion is followed
Congress. should "suspend the opera-
tion of the restrictive provisions, at
least until an effort has been made
to restore the spirit of neighborly
good -will and confidence between these
two nations."
There being no disagreement be-
tween the House and Senate provi
tsions of the exclusion clause, a point
of order could be made against any
change the conferees now considering
the bill might make. The only way
the objectionable language could be
eliminated would be by the two sets
of conferees returning to their respec-
tive Houses and asking for a new pro-
vision. That is held unlikely.
U.S; around:the-world fliers are shown arriving at their buoys' at Prince
Rupert, British Columbia:. Three of the planes were ordered to Dutch har-
bor, Alaska, to await the leader, which was forced clown.

ALBERTA WELL ONE OF BIGGEST
"GASSERS" ON AMERICAN CONTINENT
.A. despatch from Calgary, Alta.,
says: --Coming - in with a flow esti-
mated by W. S. Applegate, field sup-
erintendent of the Imperial Oil Lim-
ited, as 26,000,000 cubic feet a day,
the Rogers -Imperial well in the Can-
adian Sweetgrass field, about seventy
miles south-east of Lethbridge,is re-
ported to be one of the biggest if not
the biggest "gasser" on the continent.
The first burst of gas carne Tuesday
morning when the bit reached a depth
of 2,528 feet. Then on Thursday when
the drillers attempted to sink the tool
further into the sands, they only
penetrated another foot when warn-
ing came that the pressure was in-
creasing tremendously. They imme-
diately tried to get the bit out of the
holo, but when half way up the pres-
sure again increasedwith the result
that the tool, weighing a ton and a
half, was thrown clear of the hole
and to within ten feet of the derrick
towering eighty-two feet above the
Muth of the well. The falling bit
smashed the derrick and also every-
thing with which it came in contact.
The collar casing of the well was
broken. These mishaps will hold up
Operations for at least twenty-four
hours and meanwhile capping the
well is impossible. The important
feature of, the gas flow is that there
is evidence of oil in the gas. Apple-
gate climbed a ladder adjacent to the
derrick structure and stuck his hand-
kerchief in the flow. Half an hour
afterward it smelled as if it had been
dipped in gasoline. There is also a
spray from the flow. The amount
and value of impregnation cannot be
determined until tests are made.
The Rogers -Imperial well is one of
the test wells sunk in the Canadian
Sveeetgrass field and the result ob-
tained from it will have a big bearing
on further developments. The Im-
perial Oil Limited is one of the part-
ners in the well, which is located five
miles north of the international.

Destruction of Forests by Fire

The Natural_ Resources Intelligence
Servibe of the Dept. of the Interior
at Ottawa says:
As we read our weekly paper, carry-
ing as it does the news of the neigh-
borhood and of the world, how many
realize the extentto which we aro'
indebted to the forest? We may give
the editor and the publisher all due
credit for their part in providing the
news, but after all they are simply
continuing the work of the old town
crier. But for a paper supply the
newspaper could not be published,
and but for the forest there would bo
no paper aupply.
After giving this newspaper ques-
tion a little thought let the reader ob-
serve his surroundings and note the
number of articles into which wood
enters as a :raw material. -
Now, supposing the forests were all
burned, -and we are burning them
faster than we aro using them, -what
would we do without wood?
Every Canadian is interested in
protecting the forests from fire.
"Save the Forest" week -April 27 to
May 8 -should impress upon us the
necessity of doing our part that this
wonderful natural resource be pre-
served for Canadians of to -day and
of the future.
