Lloyd George's Stirring Message
to Builders of New World.
London, Sept. 14, -Premier Lloyd
George has issued a message to the
i;eonle of "Great Britain "in the fu-
ture," which will be distributed free
throughout the country on Monday.
The Premier says:
"Millions of gallant young men
have fpught for the new world.
Hundreds of thousands died to estah-
lish it. If we fail to honor the prom-
ise given them we dishonor ourselves.
"What does the next world mean?
What was the old world like? It was
a world where toil for myriads of
honest workers, men and women, pur-
chased nothing better than squalor,
penury, anxiety, wretchedness; .a world
scarred by slums, disgraced by sweat-
ing, where unemployment, through
the vicissitudes of industry, brought
despair to multitudes of humble
homes; a world where, side by side
with want, there was waste of the in
exhaustable riches of the earth, part -j
ly through ignorance and want of.

"If we renew the lease of that

CANADIAN PARLIAMENT
APPROVES PEACE TREATY

Approved the terms of the treaty of
peace between the Allied and asso-

Ratification by Three Chief
Powers and Germany Will
Suffice.
London, Sept. 14. -It is possible
that the League of Nations may be
established in accord with the re-
quirements of the peace treaty in a
fortnight's time. So says the lobby
correspondent of the Daily News.
Great Britain is waiting for action
by her dominions before King
George's assent to the ratification of
the treaty is given. But the Canadian
Parliament has now passed the neces-
sary resolution to ratify, the Austra-
lian Parliament is about to take the
matter up immediately, and South
Africa and New Zealand have already
acquiesced. The ratification debate in
the French Chamber of Deputies is
expected to end by the beginning of
next week, after which the debate in
the Senate will probably consume fives
or six days. In Italy the Parliament-
ary commission which has been ex-
amining the treaty has reported in
its favor by a considerable majority,
and ratification by Italy ,ia expected
without further delay. Thus ratifica-
tion by three of the chief powers,
Great Britain, France and Italy, is im-
minent, which, with the German rati-
fication, will suffice to esablish the
League of Nations under the terms
of the treaty.
GIVES ORGAN RECITAL
ON EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY
A. despatch from Sandy, Bedford-

oldest woman church organist in Eng-
land, and probably in the world, cele-
brated her eightieth birthday by giv-
ing a recital in the parish church.
Her fingers are flexible, her eye-
sight marvellous, and she played the
great masters with the vim of a wo-
man half her age.
Her grandfather, Sam Taylor, the
village saddler and harnessmaker,
taught singing to the countryside, also
the clarionet and 'cello. She was a
favorite pupil of James Turle, late
organist and choirmaster of West-
minster Abbey,

DON'T LET GO.
A community without CO-OPERATION is like a boatman who has lost his oar. You can't imagine a more
HELPLESS case. Unable to GET'..ANYWHERE, there is no COURSE but to DRIFT with the ebb and flow of
circumstance. Once LOST, it is hard, indeed, to RECOVER the oar. But surely WE don't have to get into this
DANGEROUS plight. It's our OWN fault if we DO. Co-operation, like rowing a boat, must be studied and learn-
ed. .And we can only learn it thr' ugh PRACTICE. The PRACTICED oarsman never lets go of the oar. And if
WE would keep from DRIFTING we must practice CO-OPERATION. Let's GET into practice and KEEP in
practice. Let us PULL TOGETHER in everything that means PROGRESS for our Houle Town. It's a case of

Twenty -Acre Plant Destroyed
With Over 11,1,000,000 Gal-.
lons of Crude Oil.
New York, 'Sept. 14. Witch more
than 50 persons injured and the dam-
age already done estimated at frcin
$5,000;000 to $10,000,000, weary fire-
fighters to -night still were fighting a
threat of further explosions of oil
tanks at the scene of the fire which
practically wiped out the Stone and
Fleming Oil Company's plant in Long
Island City yesterday.
Five tanks of crude oil were learn-
ing late to -day. Should there be a
sudden shift from north to north-east,
many additional tanks in plants near-'
by would be threatened, as well as
thousands of tons of oil. The firemen
were working in short shifts. So ex-
hausted had they become, that when
relieved for a brief rest, they lay in
the streets near the fire .zone and
went fast asleep. The twenty acres
of fire -swept territory looked like a
scene in war -devastated France or
Belgium. Tanks were crumpled up;
huge steel girders lay in a tangled
mass, few walls were Ieft standing
and burning oil continued to flow
along the surface of Newton Creek.
The fie, starting early Saturday
afternoon from the explosion of an
oil tank in the Stone and Fleming
Works, a subsidiary of the Standard
Oil on Newton Creek, spread over vir-
tually the entire area of the plant,
which covers 20 acres, and spread to
the Columbia Distillery Company's
buildings on the same side of the.
creek; the Peter Cooper Glue Works
and American Agricultural Company's
plant across the water, and the Green
Point bridge.
KING APPEALS TO
BRImr TISHEiVir R'
His Majesty's Plan to Secure
Employment For Returned
Soldiers.
London, Sept. 14.-A new plan to
secure an absorption of the 100,000
still unemployed or disabled army,
navy and air force men into the in-
dustrial ranks appears to -day in the
shape of a royal proclamation, in
which the King, holding it "a deae
obligation upon all" to acknowledge
the sacrifices of these men in securing
a victorious peace, charges all employ-
er:; of labor to bind themselves in high
and solemn obligation to find employ;
znent for as many as possible.
The names of such employers shall
be inscribed upon what shall be styled
"The King's National Roll." The em-
ployer thus inscribed will be entitled

Judge Doherty, Minister of Justice
and Acting premier, said:
"Sir Robert Borden, had already
given the war veterans his •cie:.ision on
the point, and it is the decision of the
Cabinet Council as well. Clearly it
must be adhered to. We want to be
sympathetic with all the demands and
aspirations of the returned men, and
do all for them that is humanly pos-
sible. But there must be some place
where we have to make a stand.
"As I pointed out to them yester-
day, it is the people of Canada who
would have to pear the extra money
if itowere given, and there is some
limit to what they can pay. The fig-
ures given in the House show that we
have done very much better by the
returned men than any other country
engaged in the conflict has done.
"I am sure that the demand made
upon us does not represent the view
of the great body of the returned
men. Most of them are well able to
gauge the situation and understand
the impossibility of adding to our
debt the immense 'amount that would
be involved."

A despatch fond Edmonton, Alta.,
e aye :-With cheeringe t t us' gds out
to welcome hint in spite of the, •threat-
ening weather'and the streets still wet
from an early morning rain, his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales arrived
in Edmonton at 9 -o'clock Friday
morning. He was met on the C P.R.
station platform by Lieutenant- Gov-
ernor Brett, Premier Charles Stewart,
Major Joseph A. Clarke, Brig -Gen.
McDonald, G.O.C. this district, Chief
Justice Harvey and Hon. Chas. Mitch-
ell. After shaking hands with all
those on the platform, the Prince met
Captain Scott, D.C.M., of the P.P.C.
L.I., commanding the guard of honor
supplied by the G.W.V.A. After in-
specting the guard he shook hands
with Captain C.ollinse President of the
Edmonton Branch of the G.W.V.A.,
whose members were out fifteen hun-
dred strong to welcome their former
eomradeein-arms.
In the afternoon he laid the corner-
stone of the G.W.V.A. Memorial Hall,
and presented medals to a number of
veterans.
In the evening he attended a ball
in the Parliament Buildings, given by
the Lieutenant -Governor, for which
more than 2,000a, invitations were
issued.
The "City of Edmonton" was first
to greet the Prince when he opened
his eyes Friday morning in the LeDue
district, 20 miles from Edmonton.
Captain Wilfrid May, D.F,C., rose
from the stubble field and circled
about the Royal train in his plane,
the "City of Edmonton." He flew
very low for the first thousand yards
close to the train, rising only when he
came to fences and trees. His clean,
expert handling of his plane was the
tali; of the train during the hour in
which he escorted the Royal party
into the Provincial Capital.
The cheerful hum of Captain May's
propeller was the prelude to the
great roar of welcome which went
up from thousands of throats when
the Royal party finally stepped into
the City of Edmonton to receive the
loyal greeting of the Edmonton
people.

GERMAN EMIGRATION
TO CANADA
Society Formed in Germany to
Help Teutons Settle in
Dominion.
A despatch from London says:•--'
Germany, having had little success
against the Canadians on the western
front, is going in ford peaceful pene-
tration of the Dominion itself after
the war. A society for the encourage-
ment of Teutonic emigration to Can-
ada has been formed in Berlin, and its
secretary has naively„written to the
Canadian immigration authorities in
London to ask when operations may
begin. Until be peace treaty was
ratified by the Canadian Parliament,
German immigration was forbidden
as was all other Continental immigra-
tion, in fact.
That a large influx of German emi-
gration to Canada may be looked for
is to be inferred from a statement
made by Sir George McL. Brown, of
the Canadian Pacific Railway. As a
result of a visit to the Continent, he
predicts that Canada may have as
large an influx of selected German
immigrants as she desires if she
wants them. The same is also true
of France, and more still, of Belgium,
Holland and Scandinavia also offer
many prospective settlers. Such im-
migration would no doubt be encour-
aged, but a delicate question that
Canada will have to consider will be
that of the .recruitment of her citizen-
ship from Southern Europe, which
also, says Sir George Brown, promise
es to be very large.
