ROUMANM GOVERNMENT MAKES AR- RANGEMENTS TO PAY DEBT TO CANADA A despatch ire= London says: A satisfactory arrangement has been made with Roumania by the Canadian. Government which will enable Rou- mania to pay off the principal and in- terest of the twenty odd millions of dollars which she owes to Canada. The Roumanian Government has for a long time been unable to meet even the interest due on the bonds which cover- ed the trade credit that Canada grant- ed to the kingdom in 1919. The new arrangement will extend the time for the payment of principal of debt, which would have terminated in 1924, for forty years, with interest :at 4 per cent. for the period of extension, in- stead of five and one-half per cent as under the original agreement. The satisfactory feature of the new arrangement, from the viewpoint of Canada is that the Roumanian Govern- ment has ear -marked its export taxes as security for both the principal and the interest cif the debt: The present bonds will be exchanged for forty -year bonds, one thirty-fifth part of which will be retired annually after the first five years of extended time. The in- terest overdue on present bonds will be added at five and one-half per eent. and compounded at six per cent. There has never been much doubt of Roumania's ultimate ability to meet its obligations to the Dominion, as it is one of the finest agricultural coun- tries in the world, but its recovery from the effects of the war, which was over run by enemy forces and huge quantities of equipment and natural produce destroyed or carried off, has been hampered by lack of rolling stock fer its railways. The Roumanian Gov- ernment, however, announces -that by the end of the present year it will have almost doubled the number of locomotives .and ears in use. A Un qne Prize. ! SUPERV'SE THE COAL Perhaps never before has a uni- versity aware been accepted in quite the manner 'that the award, of the Charles Mitetle Fellowship given by the Faculty of Medicine of the Univer-'. sity e: Terento has just been accepted' by Dr. Harvey Cushing of Harvard University. This award of one thou- sand dollars Dr. Cushing has accepted,. but he has asked the University of Toronto to s. r.d to Harvard University brilliant young graduate who will work with him for one year and to whom the money will he handed over. The Charles Alickle Fellowship, be- queathed by the late Dr. W. J. Miekle, is the annual iueomo from an endow - meet of twenty-five thousand dollars and is awarded annually to that mem ber of the medical profession any where in the world who is considered by the Council of the Faculty of Medi- cine of the University of Toronto to have done most during the preceding ten years to advance sound knowledge of a practical kind in Medical Art or Science. Last year, the first occasion: on which this Fellowship was award- ed, it went to Professor I, PawIow of the University of Petrograd in recog- nition of the work that he has done in Physiology, particularly the Physi- *logy of the Digestive Tract. This year the unique prize goes to Dr. Harvey Cushing, who was born in Cleveland, Ohio, 1869, is an honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Sur- geons ef England and of Ireland, was Associate Professor of Surgery in Johns Hopkins University for nine Years previous to his appointment as' Professor of Surgery in the Harvard University in 1911. Dr. Cushing was Director of the U.S.A. Base Hospital No. b, attached to the British Expedi- tionary Force, from May, 1917, to May, 1919. He is a member of many medical organizations in the United States and the author of several medi- cal books and papers, He is a special- ist in Brain Surgery and the young man who is selected to work with hint under the offer now made will be very SUPPLY OF CANADA Hen. W. C. Kez11ne?y Appoint- ed FIei d of Comm:tee by Federal Government. A despatch front Ottawa says; -The Dominion Government has appointed a central advisory fuel committee to. have general wreni-]:n over elm sup y ly of coal and other fuel throughout Canada. It corzaists of Hon. W. C. l.ennct:y, Minister ef Railways; G. A. n- Magrath and Fred :11cOotit•t, of Mon- treal. areal. Premier Drury, of the Province of i Ontario, is in Ottawa and has been in. conference with Right ,.Hon, W. L. 'Mackenzie King and Hon. Mr. Ken- nedy on the fuel situation. The Ontario Premier, it is understood, is arranging for co-operation between his Govern- ment and the Central Advisory Fuel Committee. The funceon of this central commit- tee is regarded in Government circles as being consultative and supervisory: It is desired by the Government that the initiative in the supply of coal and other fuel should be taken by the provinces and municipalities and that the situation should be dealt -with as far as possible through the ordinary channels ef trade. If advice or in- formatioll is desired by any of these other bodies, the federal committee will be ready to step in; but there is no wish to exercise any controlling power or to supplant the ordinary methods of supply. Hon. Mr. Kennedy has been given . the responsibility of the work of this committee, as it is felt that a large ' part of . the problem will be closely related to railways. Mr. Magrath acted as fuel controller during the war and is regarded as being in close :touch with the problem. Mr. McCourt was formerly engaged in the coal trade and consequently is believed to have a thorough knowledge of that branch of business. SETCANADA'S CLAIMS FORTH BY ENVOYI 5 of we Worldv' Under-Secretary of State Mul- vey at Berlin in Dominion's Interests. A despatch francs London says':--- Thomas Mulvey, Under Secretary of State for Canada, has left for Brua- sels and Berlin to investigate the sit - nation regarding Germauy's payment of Canadian claims, 'Germany having repeated her intimation that she can- not pay even private enemy claims against her nationals, Canada's inter- ests are vitally concerned, Although Creat Britain, in the Earl of Balfour's note to the Allies, has evinced a willingness to 'drop her own. and the Empire's claims to German reparations, Canada has not 5net been consulted regarding her attitude in the matter of her share of these repara- tions. As any such action would be contingent on an international agree- ment in 'which the United States would participate, and as an agreement seems highly, improbable atethe pres- ent juncture, Britain no doubt con- siders that it would be premature to ascertain the opinion of Canada and Vie other demipions. One method of exerting pressure on Germany which France is now con- sidering is said to be the sale of Ger- man property= sequestrated abroad. If this is done, it will supply a precedent for Canada, which is contemplating tato retention of e20,000 worth of se- que'trated German property in the Dominion, fortunate indeed. Canada's Oldest V.C. Celebrates 92nd Birthday A despatch from Toronto says: - Canada's oldest V.0., Sergeant George Richardson, celebrated his 92nd birth- day on August 1 in Euclid Hall.

The institution authorities, stated that it was only his age and conse- quent weakness that was affecting him Two Men Selected for Wheat Board A despatch from Ottawa says:- James C. Stewart and. F.
