'-. Canfld t: s This disease has destroyed the White pine in Europe, has made serious ravages in the pineries in the north- eastern states, and. isppreading. in ;On- 'tario and Qnebec. (centres of invasion are scattered'from Maine to Minnesota in the 'United States, and• from South- w3ati(rn,Ontario to Southern Quebec in •is Canada, the Niagara peninsula being the most, seriously infected, district' in the Dominion. • For its•full development and for trans mission to the pine, the disease is depen- ent on the currant and giiosebeery bushes, the fact that it cannot spread directly froin one pine to another offers a means of 'control and pc) effort should be spared to combat the runt . by extern niinating the currant and gooseberry bushes in infected or• expgsed distrietr, r at least by prohibiting the shipment from these regions of all currant 'and' gooseberry' bushes and fruit.and by plsc-' •ing aninibargo on 'the' importation 'of such stock.

JOHN MoKAy, ICintall. gooiieberry is egnally dangerous as an intermediary, in spreading the disease, - An.y lass entailed by even 'the total destruction of the whole currant family is insignificant compared tb the 'value of the white pine°in'Canda. In 1914- the white pine production of 'Eastern Cana- da, including logs and sawn lumber, to• tailed ',$16,160,000. The ,cutting and manfacture of this timber furnishes en. ploynient to thousands -of men, and sup- plies hundreds of industries with raw, material for which no satisfactory sub• etitute can be secured The white pine;, is one of the most important tax -payers'. in.Canada arid contributes no less .than $1,250,C00 to the total re.vsntie of about 54,000,000 which the four eastern prov- inces .derive annually froth their forests. In view of th'es'e facto itis evident that drastic measures sho,pld be taken at once toeradicate the disease which threatens this resource. • Tb'e Red Cross Fund The treasurer of the Eritislr'Red (Yross Fund, at. Toronto, issued a statement on Dep: 13th,, in which he said that up to that time municipalities in the province }i d contributed 51,640,000, being5i25,- •more than was raised. by the Trafal- ,gar Day campaign of 1915. He adds: - :As the Organization ' of Resources Committee is anxious to •ha.ve a 'report,, prepared:•in time for. prei4entation at the next session Of the Legislature, the,books,. of -the Fund will be closed. on January, 15th. All contributions trust reach the .l:ornmittee as 'soon 'as possible before that ,date in order that they may appear in the report. Contributions received by the Treasurer,_ Hon. •T., W.

'any 'peace negotiations 'whatever.., Dangerous and Insincere • alt. considers that tale Gerrnan pro- posals are nothingrnore than fresh proof of the weaknessof the enemy and a . hypocritical' act from which' the enemy expects ..no • real succe la, , but by which it seeks to throw upon others the' responsibility _for the -war- and -fdr- what: happens during it and to excul-- pate itself before public ,opinion in Germany.
