LUDENDORFF IN CHIEF COMMAND A despatch from Munich says: - The Bavarian Government has been declared overthrown by Adolph Hit- ler, the Fascist leader, and the ad- ministration placed in the hands of General Ludendorff, as Commander - Dr. von Kahr, the Military Dicta- tor in Bavaria, had just finished ad- dressieg a patriotic manifestatiou In the Burgerbrau on Thursday, when Hitler entered at the head of 600 men. "Hitler announced that the Govern- ment had been overthrown and was re- placed by a new Government, with Gen. Ludendorff as supreme head and Hitler as political adviser. Ludendorff, who was present, spoke after Hitler, and placed himself "at the disposal of the national German Government, and avowed his willing- ness to lead tae national German army. Ludendorff was greeted with wild cheers. Armed Hitlerites occupy the prin- cipal Munich squares, the State police occupy the Munic.h main telegraph office. Incidentally, Hitler proclaimed a march on Berlin and a crusade for the establishment af a national Reich Government, Former Chief of Police von Pohner has been named as Administrator of the country, and General von Lossow Minister of War, After Hitler's declaration his troops drew a cordon around the. Burger- brau. About 10 o'clock Thursday night troops of Oberland and Empire flag organizations concentrated on the Burgerbrau and occupied different quarters of the city, chiefly the squares. Conferences are beinge held within the Burgerbrau, and it is reported that Dr, von Kahr is attempting to negotiate a settlement with Hitler. The attitude of the police and the Reichsevehr has not yet been disclosed; Those who gathered in the Barger- brau, which is a famous Bavarian beer cellar, were members of Nation- alist patriotic to whom Dee von Rehr read a manifesto to the Gerinan nation 'denouncing the prin- ciples of Marxism. The reading of the manifesto was greeted with ap- plause, and Hitler's sudden entry with strong .forces was something in the nature of a dramatic surprise. NET RESULTS OF IMPERIAL PARLEY Dominions' Right to Make Treaties Chief Constitu- tional Gain. A despatch from London says: - Another Imperial Conference has passed into history. The Economic Conference meets again on Friday for the consideration of wireless corn, munications, but its proceedings will probably be brief. For all practical purposes both conferences have con- cluded their labors. It has been six weeks of constant consultations, com- mittees, conferences and speeches. What has been the result? Not until Sunday will the official text of the resolutions be issued, but it may be forecast that they will not indicate any organic change in sonstitutional relations; in fact no constitutional proposals of a sweeping nature ap- pear to have been brought forward at all. In matters of foreign policy there is no change in the existing machinery. .As seen from the Canadian point of view the results of the Conference are summed up by a member of the Can- adian delegation as follows: 1. A much clearer understanding of the Canadian position as to Imperial relations. 2. Recognition of equality and inde- pendent initiative in /natters peculiar to one part of the Empire coupled with willingness to co-operate in mat- ters of common concern, 3. The clearing up of the present position of the Dorninions in respect to making treaties with the unani- mous understanding reached along the lines adopted by the Canadian Govern- ments frorn the treaty of Versailles to the Halibut Treaty. 4. Recognition by the .Admiralty for the first time of the principles of Do- minion navies. 5. Emphasis on the responsibility .`'`A•efttele.we,gal ee. aeleeeetat, SEEKS BONAR LAW'S SEAT Winston Churchill who it is an- Dominion News. in Brief Nelson, B.C.-Nelson is having a government fish hatching station lo- cated right in the business section of the city.

Oil Geyser, Two Miles at Natural Resources Bulletin. The Natural Resources Intel- ligence Service of the Depart- ment of the Interior at Ottawa, says: Tho interest of one province in the natural resources of an- other is very clearly illustrated in the dependence of the tele- phone service throughout Can- ada upon the forests of British Columbia. A recent report by the Do- minion Bureau af Statistics gives the number of pole miles of the telephone service alone in Canada as 184,147. Of this total but 2,102 miles is in Bri- tish Colurabia, Ontario having 47,176 miles, Quebec 13,456, and the Prairie Provinces 108,733 miles. The telephone poles for this huge mileage are practical- ly all taken from the forests of the Pacific province, eacIrpole representing one cedar tree. As approximately 40 poles are re- quired per pole mile, the 184,e 147 miles would require 7,865,- 880 cedar trees to provide tele- phone service. It will readily be seen, therefore, that when a forest fire attacks a British Columbia forest Ontario is di- rectly interested in the timber that is being burned. nounced, will seek election in the con- ------ stituency left vacant by the death of Will Inform Dominions to get back to the House of Commons. on Aviation Progress A despatch from London says:- ruary.

At the Economic Conference Sir Philip Lloyd- Greame, president of the Board of Trade, intimated that in addition to the list already sulnitted, the British Government was prepared to give tariff preference en fresh apples, can- ned salmon, fruit juices and honey. In each case the British Government pro- poses to impose a new duty when these products are imported from foreign countries and admit them free when imported from countries within the Fan,plae. The proposals are: Fresh Apples --Dutiable at five shil- lings per hundeedweight when import- ed from foreign eountriest. Empire apples frefe Canned salmoneoreign imports to be dutiable at ten shillings per hundredweight. Empire imports free. Pleat Juicete--Foreign imports to be dutiable at six pence per gallen. Em- pire imports fres. Honey -Foreign imports to be duti- able at ten shillings per hundred- weight. Empire imports free. The offer also touches unmanufac- tured tobacco, The original British proposals on uninanufactured tobacco offered as alternatives either the stab- ilization of the existing preference or an increase in preference from one- sixth to one-fourth. The various do- nanions affected, however, prefer the increased instead of the stabilized preference and the British Govern- ment intimated its intention to bring down legislation increasing the pref- erential duty accordingly. Legislation is to be introduced also to give effect to the remainder of the British offer. The preference to be given canned salmon and apples is particularly welcome by the Canadian delegates. They feel it will be a great stimulus to apple growers throughout the Do- minion as well as encouragement to the salmon canneries on the Pacific Coast, whose products are to enter the British market freewhile the foreign competitor is taxed.

'The Rule of Self. • Contentment does not come till a man has brought his own being int" subjection to certain laws • whi through the ages have been slow formulated and vindicated by the'gen- eral experience of mankind. Among those to whom the only "red-blooded" way is the way of red radicalisni, the thought of any sort of contentment -- individual, social, industrial --is ab- horrent, and any concept of Mw, as regulating life, is detestable. They try to pretend that all decencies and dignities . aro merely ridiculous, all conventions narrow and mean. They look with simulated pity on the "con- servatives" who do not follow them beyond all bounds into the wild life which know e no guidance but unleash- ed desire. The rule of self, meaning control over self, costs struggle. The rule of self, meaning doing as one pleases, without any care for pain to others, or harm to those who are trying to live, is the easy way to take; but Na- ture plays no favorites, she inflexibly affixes and collects her penalties, and he fool pays. "The sin. ye do by two and two ye must pay for one by one." The moralist is least welcome when e preaches control to the uncontrole ed. 11 18 held that the time through which we pass is peculiarly depraved and given to strange gods. So men who thought at all have thought in every period our earth has survived. As soon as an earth began to be popu- lated some of the people were grieved and shocked at the behavior of the rest and started to reform them. It is easy to contemn the reformer and, because certain reformers havo failed and fallen, to set them all down as miserable hypocrites. If anything is sadder than the fall of a minister of God, it is those who rejoice over it. But there must be control, whether the advocates of untrammeled person- al liberty care for it or not, What an unbearable earth it would be if a thouerind restraints did not interpose to safeguard the individual!
