London, Cable - The proposed withdrawal of British troops from Syria is asserted by those well in- form:el to have eaueed something akin to consternation among even those advocating it. Now that the British have unexpectedly acquiesc- en it le brought forcibly to' atten- tion that they have been the buffer hetweea foreigners and the natives and thateithe withdrawal will create a situation which mIght easily be. come acute, unless* delicately handl- ed. The British withdrawal does' not mean that they heye abandoned their attitude regarding the disposition. -0 Syria, it is asserted, but has been Ordered to that the tension may' be relieved. The British made promises to the King of the Hedjaz early in the war which they feel bound to, support as far AS possible, although these wee- inents, made under the stress bf war, perhaps eonfliet with the desires a some of the alitee. It is believed that Great Britain will adopt an at. Mode of trying to balance the reale between the Iledjez and the oppon- ents 0 'Arabian control ie Syria. 11 is 'pointed out that nothing can be eettle4 oval the Turkieli treaty signed and the United States has an. nouncea the part elle wIll play re- garditot Armenia. Andreve Bolter Law, .the Govern. :tient leader, announced 'Wednesdae in the Home of Commons that the Government was arranging with Preece and Prince 'reseal, son of the King of the Hedjaz, for the immed- iate withdrawal a the British :mops from Syria and the assump- tion 0 the duties of oecemation by the French and Arabs, pending the concluslou of the peitee treaty. 'PROBLEM OF TURKEY THE. BIG HANDICAP Has Placed Heavy Burd?n, On Britain, Says the Chancellor. NO CAUSE FOR WORRY Financial Situation of Coun- try Not Too Bad --As to New Taxes, Loudon cable; Atteten Cham- berlain, Chancel/or 4 the Exchequer, speaking in the Commoutt on the ei- nancial situatiou on which the Uov- erument i asking Ica a rote of con- fidence, !said that there Ut.s every reason tor caution, economy and wiee husbandry a resooreo, but none for panic. Ile hoped that the Hottee would not cortfuee hesterla with strength, and announced that the po- sition of the Government woo we- tinetly better than NM been nutlet - Dated in August. Taxes and other revenue were coming in dxtraordi- nutty weil, and he no longer thought that new taxation wou'd be remured next year to balance rsorenue anaottc- penditures, Mr. Chamberlain acitierted that no single feature a the world situa- tion had placed beavier burdetlit upon Great Britain than the fact teat no treaty 0 peace with Turkey had been eIgned and .no settlement in the Etiet had been reached. For thie, however, the Government was in no way responsible. • Mr. Chamberlain continued that It was uot, within the power of the Britieh Government to remedy the Turkieh eituatfon, which wee. an in- ternational affair. Everybody know that a eettlement wile being delayed pending a decision In° the United Staeee whether she timuld under- take her part of the white man's burden, and the executeon of the tutelage of Turkey under the League of Nations. Mr, Chamberlain said, that a gen- eral levy upon miter was out of the totestion. A levy upon war profite stood upon it different foot- ing, but the diffienitice of under- taking ouch a scheme of taxation were Moe -tense, and the ditiadvantagee outweighed the advantage;. The floating debt of the- country on Oct, 26, Mr. Chamberlain told the House, amounted to A:1,286,000,000. He anticipated that next year, after providing for the abnormal aftermath of war expenditure, there would be e substantial 'balance on the year to go towards the reduction ef the debt, The Chaocellor Oeleclarecl there was no financial crisis justifying such, a clieturbing factor to trade at the in- troduction 4 a second budget. The Chancellor was opposed to a levy on capital, be cold, Incense it would encourage extravagance and hinder the influx of foreign capital. If the House decided upon suck it nieatiere, it need not expect him to carry it out, he declared. Mr. iChamberlain hinted at a revision or the railroad rates to make the railroads eciasule- porting. Ordinary etvilian unem- ployment doles would be terminated on Nov. 21, he saki, and the breed subsidy ended at an early date. The Chancellor indicated that Brit- ish troops in Various parts 0 the world would be reduced during the next few months by a bale million mete Draetie reductions in the navy, he estimated at from £16,000,000 to £21,000,000. The pereonnel would be reduced in December to 110,000, he announced. Mr. Chamberlain invited the Ifouee to explore the suggestion 4 a levy on war prang. While there was every reason for centime; he declared. there was no oecasion for panic, as the country's 'minion was sound. The War Minister addressed the House after the Chancellor. Mr. Churchill's speech was mainly a long recital of figures justifying the army expenditure. He explained that ow- ing to the reduction in the etze a the army occupying Germany, it wae. expected that •only about £48,- 000,000 insteaee of £70,000,000 would be received from Germany, Ito caus- ed laughter by stating that up to the preeent only about £1,000,000 had been received in the shape of cur- rency at Cologne for the tom of the British troops. , +4414-10-444-4-4,44-4-4'+++4 +4 - Scientific Brevities ••-+4 -41-41-+++ ++1-4-44 44-4.44-4-4-41-10-++-0- 4.

Such tests could not fail, says Nature, to throw far more light than accidental unpre- pared explosions on the many prob- lems presented by the transmission 0 sound waves by the atmosphere. SHOWS ST.

Only Qne Vote .Against at International Labor Meet in U, $, PIE REASONS Essential That German In dustry Come Within the League. Washington, Despatch -Germain' and Austria are to be admitted to tne International Labor organization with the rights and obligations Poeseseed by other merubers, A, recommendation to this efteet front the Organization Committee was edopted, by the Labor Confer- ence this afternoon with but one dissentient voice. The debate was spirited and prolonged, but ulti- mately it came to an ignominious end undo:- the closure. The. vote for admiesion etood 71 to 1 --the one vote nbeing that 0 Louis Guerin, French , employers' delegate, There was also One abstention. Jules Car•• BelMan employers'. delegate, did not vote either way. The Belgian Government delegates voted. for ad. mission, not, as they emphasized, because they wished to admit the Germans, but because ot "economic necessity." . The four Canadian delegates all voted for the motion to apply closure to the debate, how. ever, they divided. Mr. Parsons, employers' delegate, mid Mr. Drap- er, workers' delegate, voted for the closure minion. The two Capadian Government delegates, Mr. Rowell and Mr. Attend (who is acting as sub- stitute for Senator Robertson)' vot. ed against. The vote on the clogure motion stood: For, 05; against, 10. The attitude a the Calmat= dee- gates toward the motion for admie- stoti wasndetermined at a meeting 0 the delegation held prior to the debate in •conference. The question was thoroughly discussed from all standpoints. . It was then deter - milted to support the recommenda. Lion of the Organizing Committee on the main ground that, from the economic point of view, it was es- eenteal that industrial Germany should be brought within the scope of the resit-101mm led do% in the Lieber: annex fo the League a Nations covenant. The further point was taken that not only was admission favoree by the Organizing Committee 0 the conference, but it had the ap. proval a the allied and the associated powers. Debate • in the conference lay Wetly between Mr. Guerhi, French employers' delegate, and Leon Jou- .haux, French workers' delegate, Mr. Guerin had come trom the invaded -regions 0 France, he said, and was opposed to admission, at any rote till the end of the conference. Mr. Jou - eau tagued that the question was no° the of sentiment bin of logic. "Do you think you can apply the eight-hour day to Germany," he de- manded, "if they are not admitted' to the conference? The newspapers tell us that the Germans are now work- ing a One and fen -1114 day." Italy pleaded that politics should be kept out of the discussion. "What a the eighty millicein in Germany?" asked Baron Mayor des Planches, Italian Government delegate. Was it not -necessary that the Labor condi- tions of the Peace Treaty should be itupoped on- them? The debate was becoming acrimonious, when Dr. Nolens, Dutch Goveroment delegate, moved the closure.

Direct Mowers were frequently Ovaded by von Betlexuann-Hollweg, who said he could not remember whether h.e gave Gerard German peace terms, although they had often spoken of peace, and he had told the AMbase- ador thiugs he said in the reichstag.

"I never saw a rosy future," de- clared von tethmann-Hollweg, "but when the Submarine war became in- evitable, I considered it my duty to assume a coufident attitude toward the people, the army and the Reich- stag, to speak hopefully." FOR BRITISH TOWN COUNCILS Long -Postponed Elections On To -day. Three :Parties Are in the Contents. - Loudon, Cable - Elections will be held today for the Town Counells in the provinees and for Borough Councils in London. These councils control municipal 'affairs, suchas road -building, sanitation and. ligatifig. The elections for these offices are usually held triennially, but have not been held since 1912, owing to the war. The .public 'generally takes hike. warm interest in these elections, but on this occasion two questions of outstanding Interest are expected to Induce greater polling activity. The first is the continuous ASO in" local rates during and since the war, amounting in some poorer districts of London to as much as 12 shillings or a. pound on the rental value of build- ings. The second is the absence of housing accommodations. Three parties are in the field -Mod- erate, Progressive and Laborite. The Laborites are waging an active cam- paign. They have 1,000 candidates for the 1,300 London seats. Their pro- gramme demands measures to arrest profiteering by extension 4 muntelpal trading in foodstuffs and coal, brav- ing public servient under municipal control, an effective •housing scheme, and increased powers generally for borough councils. In common with the progressives, they advocate taxa- tion of local ground values as a means for reducing rates. Another feature of the campaign is the great part taken by women, who have some 250 candidates in the field. By the reform act of 1918 over 800,000 women are entitled to vote in the London area and their influence pro- vokes lively interest.

Of these the last is tile cause of the greater part of the rot in 'eng- age, These thug' are living plant which grow in the tissue of the apple and destroy it, after whieh they pro- duce immense numbers of very min. ute dust -like "geede," which we call /Mores. These spores' will grow 3ust like seeds, atui as they are so small, they are readily blowa about by the lightest air currents, and- thus the fungus is spread from one apple to :mother. The following hints Will be of use In helping to keep down the amount of rot in stored apples. In the tirst place the storage Item should be clean. The blue mould fun- gus will grow on various kinds of lit. ter and produce its spores very Plenti- fully oporotten fruit. If the cellar is kept f'W from dirt and refute?, and no rotten fruits are allowed to remain there, the chances fel- rot infection are greatly lessened. Thenellar should alao be kept reas- onably dry, The spores a these rot fungi, like seeds, will nOt start to vow unless they live sufficient water. A reasonably dry cellar will therefore keep the spores front 'germinating, even it there are some of them pre- sent. The temperature of the cellar should be kept as low as posSible.- The rot fungi, like other plants,' grow beet in warm conditions, and will be able to Make very little progrese if the tem- perature is kept within:a few degrees of freezing. Rot fungi got into tite apple usually at Beene wound or breise. The lesa inniry that apples receive eohandling the less rot that will develop after- wards. . When the storage celler is emptied in spring, it should . be thoroughly clean:eta and, if possible, Whitewashed or treated Wine dislottectent to de- stroy all spores of the rot fungi. The inuteet smell which is present initially cellars is produced by the -blue mould fungus, consequenty if the cbaracterie- tic mouldy .otior remains in the cellar this fungus is certainly somewhere about, and every effert should be made to get rid of it before the next seasonal crop is stored there, In addition to the above notes on fungus rots attention should .alscobe called to the spotting and scalding of apples in storage, which is not due to fungi, but which is the direct result of improper storage conditions. Spotting and scalding of apples Is very frequent towards spring:. The spots on the skin are sunken and larown dud great- ly disfigure the fruit for sale, while scalding is even more damaging to the appearance., In this latter. trouble the flesh just under the skin turns brown in !regular areas. 'While, gives easy entrance to rot producing lftru ndgi.ii ea fttoe ea noted, these troubles are not direct - they are likely to largely avoided by a tittle attention to :ee.otarfdli:git Both spot and seal) arise from lin- eroper storage conditions, and will likely be worse oo fruit that has not matured properly before being picked. The three storeee conditions that fav- or soot and scald development are (I), high temperature; (2), humidity, and •(2), stagnant air. tt should be understood that the fruit is not completely dormant luring the storage period, but that there is a constant, if small, continue aeion of growth processes throughout the whole period. These processes result in maturing or. mellowing the apple, and the chemical proeesses which °tour during them involve the absorption of oxygen from the -air ond the giving out of earl= dioxide, It 10, in fact, a slow breathing process. When apples are stoeed in a place where they have no free access to the air, they are "smothered," and the eeald which develops on thent is due to abnormal chemical changes brought about because 0 inadequate air sup- ply. If the room is too warm the on.1:0oft:thorprocesses are quickened •and :.icald or spotting is increased.

It la reccommended (1) that apple thould he stored in small lots rather than In largo, close piles or bins, They should preferably be kept itt open, slatted boxes, or other similar contain- ers, which will allow all the fruit to eave free Reuse to alt'. (2) That the .cineerature be kept as low as is oon- iistent with protectiOn from frost, and (3) that plenty ot veotilation be pro- vided.
