PRISONER, BY r ` REBELS
Detachment. Surprised and Captured Near Keiraneigh --
Several Persons Killed in Clash Between Military
and Irish.Followers in County of Limerick.
A despatch from London says: -The
24-hour lull in hostilities in Ireland
was broken when Sinn Fein forces
surprised and captured a convoy of
Government troops near Keimaneit h,
The lorries in which the troops were
/being convoyed were burned and the
entire detachment of men marched off
ante' the mountains. The convoy was
proceeding from Millatreet toward
Ballingeary when taken.
In daylight fighting between the
military forces and Irish Volunteers
in Brures, County Limerick, on Thurs-
day, one soldier and five citizens were
ki'iled,
Volunteers held up the soldier guard
of the Bank of Ireland in Dublin at 11
o'clock Thursday night. Shots were
fired. Two of the soldiers were wound-
ed. The others were disarmed,
Tho Westmeath police barracks
were burned Thursday night.
In south and west Ireland where
the police were driven out weeks ago
and are centred now only in larger
towns, new disturbers accused of be-
ing in league with the police, called
"anti Sinn Fein gangs" are begin-
ning' to appear,
In Bantry, County Cork, they have
burned a large establishment belong-
ing to a Protestant Unionist, but
staffed by Sinn Fillers. In the village
of Newport they have burned two
creameries. In Ballylander they burn-
ed a store. The total night's damage
is estimated at $200,000. They are a
new terror to the country in parts
which lately • wero comparatively
tranquil
The resignations of Irish Police are
increasing, and exceed an average, of
five daily. Presumably with a view to
encouraging the break-up of the police
force Sinn Fein headquarters has is-
sued 'alt urgent recommendation that
police resignations would be wel-
comed.
It has added to the fund which is
being provided to assist cases of spe-
cial hardship, The clubs are directed
to encourage the men to resign. Re-
cruitment for the police greatly ex-
ceeds the resignations, however, but
the recruits are coming from every
class of Irishmen, being obtained by
advertisement from England.
SYRIAN MONARCH
LOSES CROWN
General Gouraud, Victor at
Damascus, Issues Procla-
mation.
A despatch from Paris says; -Emir
Feisul is no longer King of Syria. The
French Foreign Office announced en
Thursday that he was not.
General Gouraud, who has captured
Damascus, Feisul's Capital, has issued
a proclamation Beating that the Emir
from now on is a private citizen. arid,
furthermore, that Emir has been in-
vited to leave the country with all his
family. Se ria has' no new King yet,
but it has a brand new I>•I;nistry,
hand-picked by Gouraud, which has ac-
cepted all the French conditions, in-
cludirg a fine of 10,000,000 francs
upon Damascus and the vicinity.
The French now appear in a posi-
tion to administer their mandate over
Syria, which they hold under the
League of Nations, just as the .English
have the League Mandate to Mesopo-
tamia, although ough the • minutes of the
League Council's meeting will pro-
bably be found utterly barren of any
rccc.rd of either affair.
I?eisrl has not been heard from
sine Couraud's troops entered Dam-
ase.us. He owes the French 80,000,000
Trance they paid him "to feed the
hmt ry Syrians." However, a con-
siderable port:c•n of this money has
been reeeived in munitions seized at
Dal, n. cus tirh: 'e Feisul stored much
of hie "food or hungry Syrians."
Canadian Wheat Sough
by /Egypt and Greece
A despatch from Ottawa says: -
Greece and Egypt are in tho market
for wheat and !lour. The former
wants 18,000 tons, and Egypt a maxi-
mum of 300,000 tons. Greece seeks a
Canadian credit to finance her pur-
chase. Egypt has also asked quota-
tions from Australia, and has been ad-
vised that one w311 be given only in
a couple of months. As there is no
longer wheat control, the inquiries
;have been referred to the grain Ileal-
ers. There is no longer provision for
financial credits, which expired auto-
matically last December.
CLerman Mine Menaces
Shipping on Atlantic
.A despatch from Philadelphia
says: --•Somewhere on the surface of
1 the Atlantic between the Delaware
and Chesapeake Capes a dangerous
urine is drifting, a menace to coast-
wise and foreign shipping, The mine
was planted in the coast waters by
German marines on the occasion of
their surprise visit in 1918.
Double watches are beim` maintain-
ed day and night on all ships by men

North British Columbia Catch
Expected to be Big.
A despatch from. Vancouvee says: -
Reports reeeived here from the Fish-
eries Inspectorate indicate that the
catch of fish in the North will be large
this year. The run on sockeye in
Smith';s Inlet is good; and elsewhere
sockeye each is working otit well. On
bele Skeena River the run this year
1s reported better than any time in
the last five years, and the average
pack of sockeye per cannery is quite
a>
bita ahead of lest year to date.
LINK CANADA AND
THE WEST INDIES
Aerial Service Planned by
New Syndicate.
A despatch from London says: -The
linking up of Canada with the West
Indies by an aerial service is reported
to be the ultimate object of a syndi-
cate which has been formed by a
group of British firms for the pro-
motion of civil flying in the Bermudas.
According to the reported plans of
the syndicate the route will be from
a point in Nova Scotia to the Ber-
mudas, and thence to all the West
Indian Islands, to British Honduras
:ind to Demerara.
The company is said to be planning
for a series of flying stations at suit-
able points in the West Indies. Ar-
rangements are almost completed for
making a start at Trinidad, the most
important British island in the south
of the group, and one within easy fly-
frig range (360 miles) of Georgetown,
the capital of Demerara. 'Similar plans
are being pushed forward with regard
to the Bahamas in the north of the
great circle. It is likely that if. the
st Lente is developed according to the
present plans, the syndicate will op-
erate. a regular passenger and mail
service,
Oscar E. Fleming
President of the Deep Waterways and
Power Association of Canada, who de-
clared at the Tidewater Congress in
Detroit that the projected deep water
route from the Lakes to the .Atlantic
would cement more firmly the friend-
ship between United St:ties and Cana-
da.

tralia, says: -Because of the benefi-
cial rains in the Commonwealth dur-
ing tho pa-st six weeks erop prospects
in all the rural districts are considered
excellent. It is expected Auetrali,a
will have an exportable wheat surplus
this year.

mier Milierand suffered the most seri-
ous set -back of his premiership 1111
Thursday, when the finance committee
of the Chamber of Deputies, by a vote
of fourteen to twelve, rejected the Spa
agreement, which provides that
France should pay Germany 200,000,-
000,000 francs for coal.
THE PRINCE IN AUSTRALitA
The oldest son of King Georgo is here shown shaking hands with Maori
women at Rotorua, Australia. The Prince said the reception given him by
the Maori Chiefs was the finest he had ever witnessed. The bare-footed
Maori maiden seems particularly pleased with herself after shaking hands
with the Prince, but Isis Royal Highness is evidently perturbed at meeting
these strangely -garbed maidens.

CANADA TO HAVE
NEW COAT OF ARMS
Examined by College of Her.
alds, Approved by His
Majesty.
A despatch from Ottawa says: -The
design for the new Canadian coat -of -
arms has gone to the College of Her-
alds. The procedure is somewhat in-
volved. After approval by the Can-
adian Government, the design goes to
the College ef Heralds, where it is pos-
sible some minor technical changes
may be suggested. Subsequently
formal approval is given by the King -
in -Council on instructions issued to
the Earl Marshall, who is head of the
College cf Heralds.
The new coat -of -arms bears the de-
vice, "A marl usque ad mare" (from
sea to sea). It is taken from the
singularly appropriate Tine in the 72nd
Psalm: "He shall have dolma:on from
sea to sea"
Approval .af the coat -of -arms was
the Tact'iet of the -Borden Govern-
ment.

Eastern Canada Has Heavy
Spruce Seed Crop.
The .Commission of Conservation
has received reports from a number
of points in Ontario, Quebec and New
Brunswick indicating that this is an
exceptionally heavy seed year for
white spruce in eastern Canada. There
promises to be a good yield of white
pine seed as well. Last year there was
practically no spruce seed in eastern
Canada. Heavy seed years for spruce
and pine usually occur only every
fourth year, therefore those who wish
to ,collect the seed should take ad-
vantage of the abundant crop this
year.
White spruce seed ripens in Sep-
tember and the cones should be col-
lected just before they open. If picked
too early, the seeds will be immature,
and if left till the cones open, the
seeds will have dropped out.
The increasing attention being
given to reforestation has developed
a large home market for tree Leeds.
In addition to tn: various govern-
mental and commercial nurseries, sev-
eral of the pulp companies, Including
the Laurentide. Abitibi, Spanish River
and Riordcin, have nurseries. There
are also good markets in the United
States and Great Britain for Canadian
tree seeds. Heretofore, the nurseries
on this continent have had to t'epend
largely on European seed, owing to
the limited amount -of native seed col-
lected, The European seed has not
been entirely satisfactory for our cli-
mate and hardy native stock is prefer-
red when obtainable.
During the .,.t few years the de-
mand rand for tree seeds has always ex-
ceeded the supply and this sI1.ing $10
