One of the commission. It is suppos-

commitment to the terms laid down

A new discovery in . Cobalt magnet
steel at Sheffield, England, will, it is
believed by experts, revolutionize the
making of motor cars; and airplane
engines, .as well as- the construction
of telephones. It is claimed that it
will be possible .to make combined

cars by this method, something which
at for long been' aimed a a time.

There is intense interest in the Dri-

Proposal to Abolish "Crucifixion"
Defeated
A proposal in the British House of
Cominons to abolish the army pun-
ishnient generally" referred to ' as
"crucifixion" was defeated. It was
stated in the course of the discussion
that Earl Haig and Sir William Rob-
ertson, former Chief, of Staff, were
both opposed• to any interference
with this method ,of penalizing of-
fenders. It is chiefly used pati the
field and consists of tyingthe-offend-
er to a cart wheel by the arms and.
legs, and leaving him there for a
eral scheme to re-establish. European
credit, stabilize exehange,..co-ordin-
ate the transport system, which in
many countries has broken down
completely, andrestore commerce
and iidustry to its proper channels.
In. other words the aim of the Con•-•
ference is the restoration of Europe
by the most ' gigantic co-operative
system ever attempted.' The task.
may be impossible for the present
Conference; it may be well started
and continued by a succession of such•
gatherings, or it may fail at its very
inception.

inelt the representatives will con-
stantly strive to find a way out of
any tangles they get into. There
