ing the war has been forwarded to
England for presentation at a confer-
, enee,of representatives qf all parts
of the British Empire, aopn to be held
-in London, and, subsequently, at an
'Alter -Allied Conference at Spa, The
bill rendered by the Dominion is for a
total of 31,871,000,000, The total is

The separation . allowaneee alluded
to are those paid to families and de-
pendents of persons whet served in
the military and naval forces during

dently meant the denieges occasioned
in that oity by the explosion of the

The sunt chimed under the tread of
army of occupation ie the cost of
maintaining Canadian troop on the
Rhine frontier .for a period after the
signing of the armlet:lee on Nov, 11,
1918, ' Tiza last item is a claim for
oompeirsation for damages sustained
by Canadians as a result of the resort
by Germany to illegal methods of war-

PRESIDENT VETOES
PEACE RESOLUTION
Its Acceptance Would Fut An
Ineffaceable :Stain on:
Nation's Honor.
ii despateh from Washington
says:—President Wilson .vetoed' the
peace resolution on Thursday, and in-
formed Congrels he could not become
a party to the peace programme fram-
ed by Republican leaders of the Sen-
ate and 'louse because he considered
it would put "ineffaceable stain" on.
the nation's honor.
To establieli technical peace by
such a method, the President said .in
his veto message, would be to effect
"a complete surrender of the rights
of the United States -so fax az Ger-
-„many is concerned," and to' relin-
quish all the bier pitrpoies which
were embodied iii the rejected Treaty
of Marseilles.
The President's act apparently
brought to another and final dead-
leek the efforts of the present Ad-
! ministration and Congreee to agree
' en a pee peece set•tlettment. Ilepubliean
leaders conceded Ihey had no chance
to past the ra,•nlut.on,over the exe-
cntive's veto, and on both idea it was
predicted that the issues_af the treaty
controversy would have to be fought
• outin the patitical campaign with
Democrats and Republicans blaming
eaeb other for the faller:: to consum-
mate a state of pence,
in his message age the President did
net indicate til Cher he might again
sainnit the reaty to the 'S..nate for
retffiiation, but- he said the resolution
raised again the question of whether
tate United States eared to draw apart
from the' real of the world or to join
with other nations in attaining the
este to which the treaty was, framed.
The veto hod been expected by the.
Repuhl can leaders, and they blade
plans to close the incident prpmptiy
by a. record vote on repaesage of the
resolution. The message went first
to the. Il'ouse, where its reading was s
greeted with cheers by'Democrats and

FACTS ABOUT
CANADA
1
The total value of sea fish gaught
and marketed in a fresh state in the
various provinces of Canada engaged
in the industry during the 'year 1919
was $31,$48,084, according to the
annual reports of the Fisheries
Branch. Gontpared withtthe 1918 total
- value of 331,974;693, this shows a
t falling off of $626,609. '
o In catch and market value, British
- Columbia leads the Dominion, the
e Pacific coast province accounting for
- $15,216,397 of the total revenue. Nova
e Scotia comes next with '$10,720,471;
y then New Brunswick, $2,547,946; Que-
bec, $1,96'7,349; Prince Edward Island,
$895921:`
The largest individual revenue came
from salmon which continues to main -
'thin its place as Canada's premier fish,
accounting for a sum of 311,222,817
from 1,641,098 cwt. Cod came next
with 2,215,628 cwt„ worth $7,198,160.
The lobster catch was 317,999 cwt.,
- valued at 38,174,888; halibut, 245,266
cwt., worth 33,092,912; ,herring, 1,-
506,961 cwt„ worth 31,624,730; had-
dock, 495,257 cwt., worth 31,289,415;
-mackerel, 209,222 cwt., worth 31,188,-
341. Coming next below ,the million
mark are: smelts, hake and tusk, pol-
lock, sardines, blaek cod and soles, in
the order named.
Two branches of *industry which
will be exploited aggressively in the
province of New Brunswick in the
present year are the gypsum deposits
and the oil and natural gas fields.
The great demand for houses through-
out Dominion has made the de-
mand for gypsum an insistent one
and though the adjoining province of
Nova Scotia is a big shipper of this
mineral to the United States, New
Brunswick -bas made only a few
sample shipments.. The New Bruns-
wick Gypsum Company, however, has
trade extensive plans for the develop-
ment of its gypsum deposits at Hills-
boro, on the shores of the Bay of
Fundy, and is planning a large ex-
port trade.

A Letter From London -
There have been many statements
as to how hard King George w'rks
these days, but nothing, 1; think,
brings, out this fact so much as the
story which a friend of mine told me
recently. He is one of the big officials
who have their offices in ;Buckingham
Palace, and he is responsible for much
of the King's activities, especially
during the now -very numerous in-
vestitures.
I had remarked on the busy life
led by the King, and my friend smiled.
"Do you know the latest story?" he
said; "Prince Albert told ,it me the
other day. He said that His Majesty
at breakfast one day related bow he
had had a dream in whieh be was
standing before the bulk.of the Bri-
tish Army, and that be was abut to
decorate them all. 'My father,' said
the Prince, `says that he woke up
after the dream as if he bad had
nightmare.' "
Queen Mary has been treasure -
hunting in the lumber rooms at Wind-
sor Castle, and has been rewarded by
a, number 02 finds, the best of them
being a priceless the
tea service
which must have been forgotten for
decades. Windsor, has always been a
favorite repository for Royal trea-
sures, and quite an amazing number
of valuables have been sent there in
past -centuries, and very soon forgot-
ten; ; The Queen's searches have re-
sulted in so many interesting finds
that a complete inventory *fail] the
contents of the Castle is to be made
as soon as possible.,
Prince Henry, who has just readied
the 'age of twenty, is certain to be
the tallest' of King George's eons, He
is a very eager, well-disposed young
maim and looks forward to the tom-
plating of his stay at Cambridge, so
that he can take up his military du-
ties with the; King's Royal Rifles, to
which he was gazetted last year.
When he was at Sandhurst he did
very well at polo, and he is a better
cricketer than any of his brothers.
What is. the intrinsic value of the
Crown jeivels? It has been said that
jewels worth "at least a million" have
been entrusted to 'one London firm
alone for the purpose of being over-
hauled and cleaned. Spine years ago
'the custodian of the jewels at the
Tower of London valued the collection
—for commercial purposes, of course
—at 22,500,000, and probably this
figure is fairly approximate.
Somebody ought to compile an
anthology of Kitchenerisms. There
are'many Kitcltenerlsms in Sir George
Arthur's "Life of e Lord Kitchener,"
and they are all very characteristic.
When he entered the War Office as
its chief at ten o'cloclt on that fateful
Thursday morning. in 1914 his first
remark was: "There Is no Arany.."
His private secretary banded him a
pen with which to give the signature
for the official stamp. The pert was
as vile asthe pens you usually find in
post offices. "Dear me," announced
Kitchener, "what a War Office! Not
•a scrap of Army and not a pen that
