A d6spateh from Ottawa says: -
The following summary of the Peace
Treaty draft has been received:
Paris, May 7, -The Treaty of Peace
between the twenty-seven Allied and
Associated Powers on the one hand
and Germany on the other, has been
handed to tbe German plenipoten-
tiaries at Versailles. It is the longest
treaty ever drawn. It totals about
80,000 words divided into fifteen main
eections, and represents the combined
product of over .a thousand experts
working continually through a series
o commissions for the three and a
half months since January 18. The
treaty is printed in parallel pages of
Englsh and Freud). which are recog-
nized as having equal validity. It does
not deal with questions affecting Aus-
tria, J3uluia, end Turkey, except in
so far as binding Germany to accept
any agreement reached with those
former allice.
Germony h" the terms of the treaty
restores Aneese-Lerraine to France,

Saar Basin temporarily and of Danzig
permanently, sgreee to territorial
changes toward e Belgium, and Den-
mark in East Prussia, cedes most of
Upper Silesia to Poland, and re-
nounces . all territorial and political
rights outside Enrope, as to her .own
or her allies' territories, and especial-
ly to Morocco, Egypt, Siam, Liberia,
and Shantung. She also recognizes
the total independence of Germau-Aus-
tria, Czecho-Slovakia, and Poland,
to extradite the former Emperor an
Germany being responeible tor delive
ing the latter. Ties League of Nation
is accepted by the Allied and Assoo
ated POwers as operative and by Go
many in principle, but without mem
bership. Similarly an internationa
labor body is brought into being wit
a permanent office and annual conven
tion.
A great number of internationa
bodies of different kinds and for di
ferent purposes are created, some u

PULL TOGETHER.
ARE WE, as a community, pulling together? Or are we pulling in OPPOSITE directions? ORGANIZA-
TION is the great community need of the day. 'WITHOUT organization men and women are apt to sink below
the level of mules. EVEN mules, in times of danger 02' panic, have been known to CO-OPERATE. They some-
times KICK together.. If it were given to mules to think, they would wonder at the ways of men. That men and
women, living and working in the same conimunity, should refuse to co-operate, is one of the riddles of civilize -
tion. The only benefits worth having are the benefits we can share with aur NEIGHBORS. INDIVIDUAL
benefits count for little. It is the CO-OPERATIVE effort that brings EVERLASTING good. Good roads, fac-
tories, better schools, good markets can only be secured when ALL pull TOGETHER. Every man, woman and
child in THIS community should give ONE hour each day to community WORK. But, don't WAIT for someone
else to start it. There is work for YOU to do. Begin with YOURSELF.

Canada Will Not Encourage Immigration of Any Kind Until the
Spring of 1920.
London, May 1L -No immigrants
except farm laborers and domestic
servants will be accepted by
the Canadian Immigration Com-
mission here until the Au-
tumn, and immigrants of any
kind will not be encouraged before
next Spring. Col, 'J. Obed Smith,
Canadian Immigration Commissioner,
stated that at present the department
is only lecturing on Canada in the
English schools. No immigration
campaign will be earried on until
the Autunin in view of possible Cana-
dian unemployment following demob-
ilization and, consequently, it is ex-
pected, there will be no rush of new
citizens until 1920.
There is apparently no trouble in
'securing domestic servants to help
I solve the service problem in Canada
in connection with the breaking up
of the "Waace" and other women's
war organizations, but as they wish-
ed to come over in bodies, steamship
space for them could not be spared
at present.
Regarding the exclusion of Ger-
mans, Col. Smith said German wives
of Canadian soldiers would be al-
lowed to go to Canada, but no Ger-
mans would be given passports under
any other conditions. Russians are
also excluded, while the department
has cabled to Ottawa to ascertain
whether they shall permit the pas-
sage of a Polish preacher wishing to
go to Canada in connection with a
Zion'st movement.

Governments of the tree States:
"In deep distress and weighed clown
by cares, the German people have
waited througlu the months of the

Their publication has brought the bit-
terest disappointment and unspeak-
able grief to the entire people. A
public expression ought to be given
these feelings by all Germans.' The

Office. Military precautions have

It has been reported for some time
that the new Amir had adopted an
unfriendly attitude toward the Brit-

into that country from India.
No large number of tribesmen are
concerned, but they have occupied
some heights of importance cora-
mantVng two roads leading across

menced operations and that there are
already indications that the advance
of the British mobile columns in the
neighborhood of the Indian frontier is
having a reassuring effect. The latest
news from Kabul is dated April 30,
when some escorts of the British
agent, who is an Iudian, left the cepa'
tal, Kabul was then the scene of great
excitement, and there were consider-
able movements of troops in the sur-
rounding country. It was, however,
clearly understood that there was to
be nothing in the nature of a general
advance, in the absence of direct or-
ders from the Amir. It is understood
that there is a band of four hundred
Afghans with a couple of guns at one
frontier position occupied and a some-
what larger force at another point.
