The allied and associated Govern- ments affirm, and Austria accepts the responsibility of Austria and her allies for causing loss and damage to which the allied and associated Govern- ments and their nationals have been subjected as a consequence of the war imposed on them by the aggression of Austria and her allies. The amount of damage is to be de- termined by the Repatriation Com- mission provided for in the treaty with Germany, which is to have a special section to handle the Austrian situa- tion . The commission will notify Aus- tria before May 1, 1921, of the extent of her liabilities, and of the schedule of payments for the discharge thereof during a period of 30 years. As immediate 1'eparetion, Austria shall pay during 1910, 1920 and the first four months of 1921, in such man- ner as provided by the Reparation Commission, a reasonable sum, which shall be determined by the commis- sion.

UTE ALBERTA WHY NO CANADAIANS IN THE LONDON PARADE CROPSA FAILURE Canadian aHeadquarte s have sissued an explanation of the absence of Cana Jinn troops from the great Londe I Peace procession on Saturday. i They say that .it is a matter 1 deep regret, but it has been found impossible to accept the invitation Iextended by the War Office to th Canadian forces to take part in the I Peace celebration procession. Un fortunately. owing to the Canadia scheme of demobilization, all organ (ized units have already been repatriet i ed.

A deepatch from Calgary, Alt't., says: -The cloaking of the actual crop conditions in Southern Alberta this year has been a disaster, accord- ing to a statement macre this morning by H. W. Wood, President of the United Farmers of Alberta. Ho said that the pro: -eat situation which has arisen :s rtault of the severe drought ii, mailing short of a calamity, and the optimistic reports which wove sent out from different sections of rhe Pru"{rice in an at- tempt to buoy up the spirits of the people, have brought about a serene condition of aifoirs. and the' euuuly must be suggested quiche before m at- ters reach a critical stage. '(hough not pessimistic, Mr. Wood said that conditions are indeed seri- ous. The crop of the south is a fail- ure, and the farmers are without feed for their stock. He does not consider Chat there is sufficient feed in the north to supply the stock, and unless some prompt action is taken there wiI! be heavy loss suffered by the farmers and stockmen, • NEW GIANT OP THE AIR. British Dirigible Will Have Cruising Radius of 10,000 Miles. Word has reached air experts of Canada that the British Government has begun the construction of the largest dirigible that has yet been un- dertaken in the world, one that will carry an equipment of six airplanes for its own protection against heavier- than-air craft. This dirigible and the two hangars to be built for it will cost nine million, according to information reaching military men here. It will have a capacity of ten million cubic feet, will be 1,100 feet Icing, 137 feet In diameter and capable of lifting 100 tons, which would be more than double the lifting capacity of the R-34, which has just made a round-trip voyage across tire Atlantic. The. cluising radius of the new dirigible, which will be finished in from 18 to 20 months, is given as 16,000 miles, and it could, it is claimed, .easily undertake the voyage from Eng- land to Australia.

AH'f THI NGy I CAN Co FOR YOU Sts? BRITISH EMPIRE CELEBRATES PEACE London, July 20. -Peace was celebrated by the British Em- pire Saturday, not only in London but in every part of the vast dominions over which floats the Union Jack. London's great vic- tory parade was, of course, the most spectacular event of the day, but throughout the country every city, town and hamlet held a peace carnival. Religious srvices, processions and sports made up the programme in nearly every place. In seine places, particularly the seaside resorts, battles of flowers featured the day. Everywhere the returned heroes of the war were honored whether they appeared in khaki or mufti. These men, released from the perils and hardships of war, led the merrymaking. fallen, and forgotten. s Trine dedicated to the memory of a dead hero bore its floral tribute. London has not witnessed such a celebration since the late Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee in 1897. Buckingham Palace was decorated on its exterior for the first time hi its history. Huge flags of the allies floated from the upper windows, and a wide streamer of purple and gold stretched across the facade. The royal pavilion, erected close to the beautiful Victoria monu- ment added color to the striking scene. King George, from his seat on the Scarlet dais, had a clear view through -a colonnade of ornate white pylons, reaching for more than half a mile to the Admiralty arch. The troops march- ed past the reviewingstand to the music of dozens of military bands. All the Dominions, Canada included, had troops in the line. A magnificent reception was given the marching hosts by the millions of people who witnessed the gorgeous spectacle. Eggs -New laid, 41 to 42c.

BRITAIN HAS LIST OF HONS FOR TRIAL A despatch from Paris says: -Al- though the German Peace Treaty pro. vides a list of Germans the Allies want to try, and It must be submitted with- in 30 days from the time the Germans ratified the treaty, the Council of Five so far has done nothing toward mak', Ing up such a list. It is understood,. however, the English have a number of names already filed. Americans, Japanese and Italians openly disfavor trying to extradite the former I(aiser, and the French are lukewarm upon 'the matter. So it is expected it will be a British fight to insist on the trial in London, PRINCE SAILS ON AUGUST 5.

A despatch from Ottawa says: -Pre- liminary preparations for the Domin- ion loan, which is to be floated in the fall, are under way.
