The Guu.rdian farther understands that' Labor will not be asked to nominate', a representative, but a Labor main; will probably be asked to go to Paris to sit. on one er more of the corn inittees. A despatch from Paris says:— The Allred Government,; have decided against further intervention in Rus- sia,at lea: t .for the preeent, accord- ing to Indications from official cir- cles.

IN CA'NAD•1 .k e e patt•1: from Ottawa says :=- rhe return to peace conditions, and mere especially the exceptionally mild treadles so far have greatly lessened the problem of the Fuel Controller. There is now no likelihood of a coal famine this winter, and unless Jan- tahy should prove to be a very severe rzviith, little difficulty in pulling through is anticipated. At the saline time, there is little prespect of any lit up in the restrictions for some time at least. The requirements of war in- dustries for coal has naturally de- ereased greatly or disappeared, while the line weather has not only facili- tated production and transportation, but greatly lessened eonsuntption. A great,anany people have been able to heat their premises so far with soft mai or wood. leaving comparatively intact their allotment of anthracite. No "heatless days" are looked for. 'Unless January proves particularly 5eveie mg worries are about over," re-' ,narked Fuel Controllee Magrath to - lay.

But the end came in Cuba with dramatic. scenes. Thus, .while the Americans were bombarding Mae- zanillo, the Spanish fort and batteries • hoisted the white flag. Thinking itt meant surrender, the attackers re- joiced, and sent officers ashore to take the capitulation, when they were eon - fronted with a telegram announei the end of hostilities. Even.more dramatic was the conch- sion of the Peninsular War.
