BRITISHER OFFERS $600,000
TO HELP HIS COUNTRY
A despatch from London says: -
When an individual comes forward
and volunteers to surrender to his
country's needs $600,000 the circum-
stances would be a noteworthy inci-
dent in any part of the world.
Such a man has been revealed in
a letter to The Times, "F. S: T." say-
ing: "I have decided to purchase that
amount of the new war loan and
present it to the Government for
cancellation, Can the nation be made
to understand the gravity of tha fin-
ancial situation, that the love of
country is better than the love of
money? By example the wealthy
clmesea now have the opportunity for
service which can never recur. They
know the danger of the present debt.
They know the weight of it in years
to come."
While there has not been a wild
rush of other wealthy men with free-
will offerings, a number have come
forward quietly end anonymously,
and taken large blocks of the new
Victory Loan. This new movement
proves the existence in Great Britain
of another high form of patriotism.
ADMPRAL SUNK THE FLEET
ON HIS OWN INITIATIVE
A despatch, from London says:-
Reuter's learns that the authorities
are communicating, with Paris re-
garding action to be taken against
Admiral von Reuter, who, with the
officers and men of the German fleet
is interned. It is confirmed that the
eekdmiralty has learned that the
Aittling of the fleet was entirely the
-tweet of the German admiral, and
was not carried out as a result of
instructions from Berlin.
U.S. FUND' FOR AVIATION
STANDS AT $35,000,000
. .
A despatch from Washington
says: -Without debate the Senate to-
day approved a committee amend-
ment to the naval appropriation bill
increasing the fund for aviation from
the $15,000,000 voted by the House
to $35,000,000.
As revised upward by the Senate
committee, the bill carries about
$782,000,000 as compared with $485,-
000,000 provided by the House
Among the important committee ad-
ditions are $10,000,000 for Federal
acquisition of the Cape Cod Canal.
CANADIAN FLYERS
MAKE ALTITUDE RECORD
A despatch from London, Ont.
says: -An altitude record for Cana-
dian aviation is reported to have been
made by Major R. N. Morgan of
Winnipeg; and Lt. C. Gould of Lon-
don, on Saturday last, near Niagara
Falls. Information to this effect was
sent to the city from Toronto
by Major Robert N. Nelson, a former
London officer. He states that the
aviators climbed to a height of 23,-
600 feet, and later landed in an ex-
hausted Condition near Niagara.
QUICK REPATRIATION '
OF CANADIAN ARMY
A despatch from London says: -
It has been officially stated in the
House of Commons that by the 80th
of June 82.2 per cent, of the Can-
adian army will have been repatriat-
ed. The American army is not being
repatriated quicker than the Can-
adian.

EX -CROWN PRINCE
REACHES GERMANY
Escape From Blolland Regarded
as Event of SignifiCanCe.
A despatch from' Par's says: -
Frederick William Hohenzollern, the
former German Grown Prince, has
escaped from Holland and made his
way into Germany.
News of the escape of the ex -Crown
Prince caused a considerable stir- in
Peace Conference circles. While it is
not felt that he is a 'figure around
which the reactionaties amilonarch-
ists would gather enthusiatically
nevertheless 'hie act is regarded as an
event of considerable significance in
view of other German recalcitrancy
The Peace Congress has not yet
been officially advised of the, escape
of the former Crown Prince, the news
coming through' British sources.
pending details, offigial discussion
of 'the 'event and its bearing in Ger-
man affairs -and the question whether
it involves violation of neutrality by
Holland is withheld.
The presence in Germany at this
moment of Frederick - William, when
the fate of, the peace treaty stillhangs
in' the balance, hae caused disquietude
in Paris, and there is considerable
spculation regarding the next devel-
opment in the situatiom
DEAD SEA AIDS ROAD BUILDING,
Bitumen For Pavements Will Be Ob-
tained From That Region.
Ample quantities of bitumen occur
in the Dead Sea region. It can easily
be gathered and prepared for use in
road making, and there is the advant-
age that it will be obtainable at much
cheaper rates than -those which now
obtain in the Near East and in Europe.
The material can: best 'be applied by
means of the usual tar -spraying ma-
chine,
Dead Sea bitumen was undoubtedly
used he ancient times. It is evident
that the walls of the temples and the
palaces of Babylon and Nineveh were
joined with bituminous cements, and
there are bitumen -lined cisterns in
Syria of great antiquity which are
still water tight land fit for dee. A
road surface treated with this araphant
according to modern methods may
prove a most satisfactory solution of
a very troublesome problem in the
Near East, where, because of climatic
conditions and the narrow wewels of
vehicles, the macadam road is often
a source, of trouble owing to the dust
that arises from it.

German Official Polley;
A despatch from Copenhagen
says: -The acceptance of the Peace
Treaty has 'left Berlin, and, indeed,
the whole of Germany with a feeling
of resentment, and, in the words of
the Berlin correspondent of The Bee-
lingske Tidende, "there yawns be-
tween Berlin and Paris a gulf wider
than that which yawned in 1871."
Germany has accepted a peace
which site was not able to reject, but
it is well to recognize the spirit in
which she accepted it. Perhaps the
best expression of this spirit is found
in Vorevarts, which says:
"This peace, being the product of
force, is worthless as a real peace,
because the 'German people will nevee
believe in it. It is a peace which will
last only so long as the balance of
powers remain. the same as that
which ,dictated it."

The official policy to be carried on
in Africa and thee South Sea Islands
was announced in the Koloniale Salts-
chrift in the early days of German ex-
pansion, after the acquisition of one
of the colonies: "We have acquired
this colony," it was written, "not for
the evangelization of the 'blacks, not
primarily for their well-being, but tor
us whites, Whosoever 'hinders our
objects we must put of the way,"
"Put of the way;" a translation of
their own phrase, aptly describes what
they did. Tey "put them out of the
Iway" by wholesale massacres, in puni-
tive expeditions against 'virtually un-
armed natives in which they would
kill 75,000 mon, women and children,
as in the Majimaji rebellion; as in the
case of the Hereros, who were driven
by thousands into the Kallahati:De-
sert and left to die of thirst; by abuse
of Power, which gave' to Dr. Karl
Peters, "protector" of theLald of the
Tana, the nickname Mkoao-wadaimi,
"the man With the blood-stained
hands"; by systematic slaughter which
reduced the Hereros of German South-
west Africa from 30,000 to 15,130, the
Hottentots from 20,000 to 9,781 and
the Bushmen from 30,000 to 12,831.
They "put out of the way" their cap-
tives, by making them virtually slaves
through a system of enforced work,
and by allowing the owners to flog
them to death and otherwise kill them
for minor offences. They "put them
out of the way" by failing to make at.
lowance for the natives' lack 'of do-
velopment in their system of so-called
justice by' enforcing the laws which
are common in a highly developed
and then increasing the
punishment 'out of all proportion to
the crime, by such ancient forms of
torture as branding with hot irons,
flogging with the siainbok, starvation,
heavy shackles,' and hanging by the
thumbs. They "put them out of the
