ROYAL CHRISTENING
AT GOLDSBOROUGI-I
Their Majesties Chief Spon-
sors for Infant Son of
Princess Mary and Vis-
count Lascelles.
A despatch from Goldsborough,
Yorkshire, England, says: - The
Archbishop of York on Palm Sunday
christened "Baby Lascelles," the in -
fent son of Viscount Lascelles and
Princess Mary, in the presence of
King George and Queen Mary and
other members of the royal household.
Villagers, tenants and dependents of
the Harewood estate d Viscount Las-
celles were ,given the preference over
visitors to the village desirous of wit-
nessing the ceremony.
The christening took place after the
morning service in the little village
church. It was a quiet •and simple
ceremony; the only incident was the
lusty crying of the baby, which could
be heard throughout the church. The
infant was given the name George
Henry Hubert Lascelles.
King George and Queen Mary were
the chief sponsors. Present with them
at the baptismal font were two other
sponsors, the Countess of Harewood
and Colonel Lane -Pox. Four addi-
tional sponsors who were represented
by proxies are Dowager Queen Alex-
andra, Lady Patricia R,arnsay, the
Earl • of Harewood and General Sir
George Higginson. After the baptism
King George and Queen Mary and the
Countess of Harewood and Colonel
Lane -Fox planted memorial trees on
the Harewood estate in honor of the
infant.
Thousands of visitors came to the
Village from the surrounding country
in the hope that they would be able
to gain admission to the christening;
but as the village church only seats
about 250, they were disappointed.

nom Sunken L.aurent(c

The British Admiralty in the next
few days will send out its salvage
ship and divers in an endeavor to re- I
cover more gold from the liner Laur-1
antic, which was sunk ofi the north= l
ern Irish coast by a torpedo in. 1917.
while carrying $25,000,000 in gold but-
lion to the United States.
To date, $8,000,000 worth of the
bullion has been brought` up from the 1
bottom of the tricky waters of that I
section of the coast, and Admiralty
officials hope to get two or three more
millions up this summer, but they
are not too sure of it. -
The wreck is in very bad shape and
divers working fifteen miles from
land and at a depth of twenty fath-
oms have met with difficulties, includ-
ing attacks from male dogfish, chal-
lenging the intrusion upon their realm.
Prince's Love for Steeple-
chasing Causes Anxiety
A despatch from London says: -
The Prince of Wales' love for steeple-
chasing is beginning to cause public
anxiety, owing to the frequency with
which he meets mishap. The Prince
himself, however, makes light of his
risks.
The Heir Apparent had another
mishap on Wednesday, when, partici-
pating with Prince George in the Mel-
ton .steeplechases and riding in the
Ladies' Plate, his mount, "Little
Christy," was brought down by the
balking of another horse at the
seventh fence. After making, six un-
successful attempts to get his mount
over the Prince gave up.•
The Pfince also, for the first time,
competed .against professional jock-
eys in an open race and came in
fourth, after a narrow escape from
being unseated.

A despatch from St. -John's, Nfld.,.
says: -The possibility of refloating
the British cruiser Raleigh, which
went ashore in the Straits of Belle
Isle last summer, and was abandoned

A despatch from Hamburg says: -
Heligoland has become a children's
health resort. The historically famous
little isle, key to the German Empire's
coastal defence system, henceforward
will be devoted to the recuperative
need of Germany's ailing little ones.
Where once mighty fortifications
frowned upon the British fleet across
the North Sea, playgrounds are being
laid out; and the, buildings in which
were quartered the crews of great
guns are being converted into nurser-
ies. Medical authorities describe
Heligoland as ideally adapted to the
treatment ofchildren, owing to the
warm sunshine and ` sheltered open
spaces tobe found there. „

Half of One Per Cent.
The population of Russia in Europe
is about 130,000,000. The number of
Communists in Russia is 817,000, ac-
cording to the official census of that
party. Of those in good and regular
standing, with a right to have their
say in all matters affecting Russia
and the Soviets, there are 410,430.
This same census shows 117,924 candi-
dates „for full party membership and
289;839 young . Communists. The Red
Army and Navy shelter 90,000 of the
regular members and 83,690 feed at
the public trough as Government em-
ployes.
All then of the acknowledged Com-
munists in communist Russia, includ-
ing candidates, probationaries ' and
young Reds, total but a fractionmore
than one-half of 1 per cent. of.. the
European Russians. .They az•e the
rulers of about 130,000,000 west of the
Urals and possibly 35,000,000 Siber-
ians. After• a fashion their writs run
from the Dneiper and the Baltic to
the Sea of Okhotsk and the Straits of
Bering. They have 800,000 bayonets
and have kept themselves in power for
five years.
Yet 'there are skeptical souls who
are inclined to hoot at the power of
an organized minority!.
Over one thousand members of the
profession are expected to attend the
annual meeting of ' the Canadian
Medical Association; to be held in
Montreal in June. A number of the
most distinguished surgeons from
'Great Britain, the United States. and
Canada, are to be present.

ernment has granted. the request of
Hollinger for a site on the Abitibi

power, according to President N. A.
Timmins, of the IIollinger Consolidat-
ed Gold Mines, Ltd. While no definite
site was named, the letter from the
Attorney -General states it will be at
Island Portage ar Long Sault, and in
either ease the opportunities present-
ed will be sufficient to meet the Hol-
linger needs. At the former, 30,000
horsepower or better„could be de-
veloped, while the latter offers oppor-
tunity for development of 25,000
horsepower.
Senator Dundurand

a German who claimed to be an Ameri-
can ,citizen. The Government cancell-
ed his claims, and there has been much
litigation and legislation concerning
the lands since.
The French Government has appro-
priated 3,750,000 francs to expend
upon the Canadian Travelling Exhi-
bition, according to advices received
from Paris. It proposes to accord
Canada the same facilities as were
