RACIAL FIGHT IN SOUTHERN STATES Thirty Dead is Roll of Whom h Nine Are Whites, Witl'I Heavy Property Loss. A despatch from Tulsa, Okla., a says::—Martial law prevailed in bul- th tot -swept Tulsa Wednesday afternoon, t with order restored under the grim threat of four companies of war - manned State troops. Twenty .hours of desperate race rioting had destroy- c cd over a mdll'J01 dollen' worth of g property and razed the entire negro 0 section, The city, blood -drenched and black- as erred by incendiary fires, was begin- ning to care for its dead. According to the latest _authentic ti report, nine whites and• twenty-one ti aegroes are known to have been killed Jl during the race clash. An estimate st places property damage at $1,500,000e 0n .A.11 this, according to Gen. C. F. Bar- a rets, commanding the State troops, at called here to maintain martial Jaw, qtr was incited by "an impudent negro, ai a hysterical girl and a yellow journal es r'epor'ter," Representative citizens of Tulsa met sit en Thursday and condemned the city 1e, and county law enforcement officials, th holding them responsible for the dis- kn oestrous outbreak. In addressing this m meeting Gen. Barrett stated that, "±11 while he was ordering the withdrawal of the National Guard from Tulsa, there was no intention to remove the martial law edict until such time as it was shown the city could care for itself. A committee, in which Mayor T. D. Evan's 'WAS denied a place, was appointed to care for the helpless ne- groes, estimated to number more than 8,000, and to expedite the work of re- building the burned negro quarter. "Most of this damage was done by white criminals, who should have peen shot and killed," E. J. Martin, former Mayor, said, after he was selected Chairman of the Emergency Commit- tee. University Standards. Entance requirements in several acuities of the Provincial University ave recently been raised and an- nouncement is made that, in same uses, a still further increase will soon ecur. Intelligently considered, this Olen is seen to be unquestionably in e best interests of the parents of he youth of Ontario. To study for an additional year in the local collegiate institute or high chool before beginning a university curse is not a hardship to any boy or irl, Quite the contrary, It means an- ther year at home under parental re and influence; it means also a aving 01 111011ey. Success in a university course epends very largely upon two condi- ons, viz„ a good educational founda- on which enables one to grasp read- y what is taught and a maturity and ability of character which prompts e to study dilligently even when wily fr0111 parental oversight. The taimnent of both these necessary alifications is made easier by more gid university entrance require- ents. In raising its standard the Univer- y of Toronto is acting solely in the ferests of prospective students and eir parents, is carrying out its well own democratic policy, and -cis aug- enting its right to its ,position as e poor man's college." , Prisoners of War. Probably the first feeling most of us have in reading of the beginning of the trial of Germans for maltreat- ing war prisoners is one of regret •that the dragnet could not have brcnght in sone of the more consider- able offenders instead of such small fry es non-commissioned officers. One of the chief industries in Ger- many of late has been the production of alibis. The men who did the things ttempts P at outraged th ' ea e civilized ed con• ci nc I in the war are now anxious to keep 1 Pe1 .anuli and lie hid. They are eager to let the dead past lie buried. When they perpetrated the cruelties upon their prisoners they laughed at any t1i eat of punishment in days to come. Verily, the tribunal that now sits upon their deeds has taken a long time to as- semble, It is true that time has cooled passion and made a truer perspective possible. It is also true that the per- iod that has elapsed has enabled Many culprits to evade a propel- penalty. It will be no great satisfaction to any one to have a few underlings put in jail, while the men higher up are at large and at leisure to compile their apologetic memoirs. The prospect is !that whatever punishment is meted put will go no further than to settle m few inconspicuous grudges; it will mot satisfy the long and heavy -laden account of all humanity against Ger- ;man militarism. THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL Presenting Col, Walker 13e11 with the MC, at the garden party given at the Government House, Toronto, in his honor, This was His Pxcelleney's fares well visit to Toronto, , Icons and. Revolt. Icons and church banners are mov- ing through the streets of Petrograd once more. Bareheaded marchers are chanting "Save us, 0 Lord!" along the Nevskii Prospekt. There has been n0 - thing like this in Lenine-Lund since the evil clays that carne early in 1918. Bolshevist papers that have reached Reval are filled with •accounts of what must have been ail extraordinary and menacing spectacle. It was May 8 that religion boldly raised its head in Russia despite more than three years of. torch, persecution and murder. 1J'rout 8 o'clecic in the morning till 0 in the afternoon a steady procession of priests, workmen and even uni- formed followers of the Soviet swept down the Nevskii Prospekt. There were so many workmen. in the procession that the Soviet officials and police looked, longed and forbore to interfere in any way, The Reds ground their teeth and cursed- the Menshevik;, the Social Revolutionaries and the Russian Church, but laid nu hand upon the marchers. The Reds admit that the unrest in the Russian industrial centres has taken on a religious character. The peasant has kept the Church alive for more than three years, but the cities have seen little of priests, bishops or in an address before the annualnrneet- patriarchs.

It will be a desperate battle to gain he heights. As with Whymper's eight tempts to ascend the Matterhorn or fought under the sun, a religious war is the most fanatic, unreasonhng and terrible. A Soviet writer who watched the procession on May 8 asked his read- ers: "What is the meaning of this? A third revolution?" If the Soviet leaders have anything stored in their memory cells other than the precepts of Karl Marx, they will do well to ask themselves the sante question, "Unnaturally savage they seemed, those alleged Christians, Sinister seemed this long, . many -headed sphinx," runs another Red writer's comment. There seems to have been a chill at the hearts of the Reds Nebo wseched this "resurrection of the dead." They may have cause to -remember that all - day procession of the Nevski' Pros- pekt.

Fifteen years ago It was the common medium of speech at trading campa and villages in the. Northwest. A despatch from Landon says:—The I Most persons suppose that the traders of the•Hudsom's Bay Company* invent - Kit, but as a matter of fact they only perfected it and gave 1t written form. When Captain Cook dropped anchor in Nootka Sound In 1778, he remained .there a month, setting up forges and shops ashore for repairing his ships. While the sailors were there they _. -..... traded with the Indians•. As it hap- pened, there was in Captain- Cook's company a surgeon named Anderson who in his leisure time made a list of the Indian nomas in 111001± common use. Anderson died soon afterwards, but Cools published s led thelis 1 t in the account of his voyages. Pourteen years later Vancouver came to the coast, bringing a copy of Anderson's 11st; and as he extended his trading farther and farther he add- ed to the list other common words used by the Indian tribes. that he en- countered. In 1811 John Jacob Astor established a post in the midst of the Chinook tribe at the mouth o8 the Columbia River. The French Cana- dians, the Crees and the Englishmen in the service of the company not only traded with the natives but married among them and adopted many of theft ways of living. Since the main post of the company was in the Chi- nook country, the trade jargon d on that the company traders used canis to be called Chinook. In the middle years of the nineteenth century Chinook was spoken throughout the entire North- west from California to Alaska and from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific, It had become as much an international speech as pidgin Eng- lish is through Chinese Asia. At the 11eig111 of its vogue the Chi- nook jargon contained about five hun- dred wortle, two-flftlis of which were set Chinook, two-fifths French Canadian tied Tn i dun ofh er thanbin Chinook, and one-fifth English.

When the talk is of the two Oxford, expeditions to •Spitzbergen some one; rises up and esys: "Why should any -1 body want to go to Spitzbergen?" Spitzbergen is the group of islands due north of the North Cape, between Greenland and Nova Zembla. The very, name brings cold shivers on the Warm- est day. Yet Spitzbergen has coal• and other valuable minerals, and settle- ments have waxed and waned amici its blasts and blizzards. The men of science are going there o study geology, botany, bird life end limate and the ancient fossil evi- ence; and much that they learn will lave a value for the materialists I one -string hang plays the single ono of practical.
