LONDON CONFERENCE FIXES
AMOUNT GERMANY MUST PAY
Fit.al.Conference to Mee. in Bs:tisselsi When Supreme Com,►-
cil, Hope to Wind Up the Matter of Reparations.
A despatch from London says: -.--A
definite agreement and program- for
finally fixing the atnount of Germany's
indemnity to the Allied' hae been
agreed to in the course of a confer-
ence held here. Ahlied .financial ex -
poets will meet in a final conference
in Brussels on Monday, Dee. 32, to
examine the Gorman proposala and
will. immedtiately report bade to their
own Governments. Secondly, there
will 'be a conference of the Allied ex-
perts with the Germans. ,This con -
Terence probably will not be in Ge-
neva, as was originally intended,
Then the Allied exports will confer
with the Reparations Contnvission to
the light of the results of the Pre -
mimes conferences and the eviden'ee of
"Germany's ability to pay," Follow-
ing' this, the Supreme Council will
hold what it is hoped will be the final
meeting in this connection, to inform.
Germany of what has been decided
upon as to the amount of reparations,
time of payment of it, etc., and to
settle the sanctions whereby the pay-
ments Will be enforced, according to
the Spa. agreement.
Protest Payments to
Former German Emperor
A despatch from Berlin
says :—The Tageblatt Nears
that Great Britain and France
have decided to send a protest
to the German Government
against payments being made
to the former German Emp-
eror.
Recent Berlin despatches
reported that the former Ger-
man Emperor had received
from Germany nearly 100,-
000,000 marks since his flight
from that country to Holland.
How Big Is a Man?
When we Were reminded idtrat "it -is
not possible by taking thought to add
cubits to one's stature, the trenchant
saying might have been taken as a
rebuke to conceit. A man may not
be so hig as the thinks he is.
There is little room in the world
to -day for email men -the space is
reserved for the big ones, And the
Iatter are not significant by virtue of
their •self-assertion. Those who run
about clamorous and insistent for
recognition, hurt because notide is not
taken, are likely to be the last to de-
serve it. Mr. Choate (in the Life by
E. S. Martin) is a little surprised
when he meets the great scientists,
Kelvin and Rayleigh, to find bow hu-
manly humbleanieded tihey are. Of
course -because they are wise men.
They have so much wisdoms that they
know how ineon Cpicuous the "great-
est" man alive is before the wonder
of Nature and the providence of God.
The voice does not sl'tvays carry for
mere shouting.. Note how often real
strength goes hand in band with
queetress. The leader of men does
not have to "holler." He makes his
presence felt without a sound. When
he enters a. room the subtle emana-
tion of power needs no banners and
no trumpeting. The appearance is all
the advertisement that is required.
Men -who have shown to the world a
redoubtable demeanor arc known to
be tender and gentle in the domestic
relations. When they come home
they shut the door on warfare.
In the face of the recent years that
have erased so many thousands good
and true, so many beautiful youths
whose lives were radiant with prom-
ise, so many who seemed to hold the
cup with the most preoioiis life -blood
of the race in their hands, it is hard
to see how any man can stand up and,
with the index finger directed self -
ward, invite the earth to contemplate
his awesome majesty. How can con-
ceit sin -wive where the brave, the
pure, the modest fell? How can we
tolerate those who insist on telling
their own story, with every embellish-
ment of auto -glorification, when the
voices are forever still of those who
did far nobler deeds and said nothing
thereof? It is .for no man to pro-
nounce on his own merit. Let the
ages decide; and the verdict of the
ages --if they notice him at all -may
be the reversal of his fatuous decision
as to his renown and lasting conse-
quence,

City of Danzig
Has Parliament
A despatch -from Berlin says: -The
Constituent Assembly of Dantmig has
proclaimed itself the Parliament of
the free city, under the title of
"Volkstag," with powers to enact
legislation until 1923.
A. majority of the Socialists, Inde-
pendent Socialists and Poles voted
against this decision, and then left
the hall, taking no further part in
the proceedings,
Dr. Sabin, the former Burgomaster,
has been elected President of the
Senate, and is thus the first President
of the free City of Danzig.
The making of velour hats, once
an Austrian monopoly, is now firmly

SWISS SETTLERS TO
LOCATE IN ONTARIO
Danish Dairy Farmers Also
Apply for Entry to
Canada.
A despatch from London says: -
Switzerland Is the newest field where-
from Ontario is drawing immigrants.
Agent -General Creelman will leave
England shortly for Switzerland :trod
Denmark to round up prospective Ca-
nadian settlers. Five hundred 'Swiss
have already signified their intention
of taking farm lands in the spning-
time, A11 things considered, they are
said to rank as the best type of set-
tlers procurable for Canada, Several
hundred Danish dairy farmer applica-
tions are being considered. The Pro-
vincial Government is assisting immi-
grants from both county ies, but the
proposed Ontario campaign in Nor-
way,..:SWAen -had-been- deferred
Drying to unexpected opposition. The
total number of emigrants already
accepted to sail foe Ontario in the
spring is nearly 400. Applications
average about 2,000 weekly, but a
small, percentage only is suitable.

Sir Adam Beck, whose successful
negotiations for the taking over of the
Mackenzie electrical interests by the
Ontario Hydro gives to the people et

Japan to Return
Shantung to China
A despatch from Geneva
says :—Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese Ambassador t.) Gt.
Britain, and head of the Jap-
anese delegation to the League
Assembly, informed the cor-
respondents . on . Thursday
evening that Japan was get-
ting ready to hand back the
Province of Shantung to
China, but was unable to get
China to open negotiations.
He added .that the only condi-
tion Japan makes is that Kiao-
Chau shall remain open to for-
eign trade.
Baron Hayashi thought that
China's refusal to negotiate
'v,as due to the fact that public
opinion had been falsified by
the military party.
The fall fur hunt in the Canadian
North has been a dismal failure, mild
weather and the low prices contribute
to the non-success of the hunt. Hun-
dreds of Indians turned to fishing in-
stead, and reports from the fishing
grounds say the catch outstrips the
past several years by a wide Margin.
Whitefish are principally caught and
far the first trona sturgeon fishing is
being done ;in the Churchill River at

ARMENIA REDUCED
BY TURKS' TERMS
Armistice Agreement Almost
Wipes Out Unhappy
Country.
A despatch frons Paris says: -A
telegram from Constantinople to the
French Foreign Ministry received on
Thursday states that, according to in-
formation from Angora, a peace be-
tween Armenia and the Turkish Na-
tionalists was Feigned at Alexandronol
during the night of December 2-3,
All Armenian arms are to be
handed over to the Turkish National-
ists, except 1,500 rifles, 20 machine-
guns and 'three cannon. Armenian
territory is to be reduced to the dis-
trict, Erivan and Lake Gokcha, and
will not include the fortresses of Kars
and Alexandropol.
A Bolshevist wireless message at
the same time announces that a
Soviet regime has been set up at
Erivan and that accord will be made
between the Soviet Republics of Ar-
menia, Russia and Azerbaijan and the
Remalists.
This news is taken as the text of
a note in the semi-official Tentps ex-
plaining away reported differences
between the French Foreign Ministry
and M. Vivian at Geneva. The
Temps says:
"The entry of the Turks into Ar-
menia and the .revolution in that
country, which appears to have placed
the Soviet in power, have completely
changed the conditions under 'which
the League of Nations had to eon -
eider the request for admission made
by Armenia. Instructions given by
the French Government to the mem-
bers of the French delegation before
their departure for Geneva were to
support the Armenian request"
The explanation is then given that
the request was made by the Armen-
ian Government, which signed the
Treaty of Sevres, and that it was only
natural that France should wish to
give it support.
"But," continues The Temps, "since
then political and military events
have completely overturned the situ-
ation in Armenia. Deprived of an
independent Government -for the Goy
ernntent at Erivan appears to be only
the creation of. the Bolsheviki-Ar-
monia appears to -day to be reduced
to absurd dimensions by the armis-
tice which the Turks have imposed."
Scientists • to Travel
By Airplane
A despatch from Ottawa says: -
If plans now under consideration by
the Dominion Air Board are natured,
Canadian geologists who every sum-
mer make arduous trips to far north-
ern regions to carry on field work,
will next summer be spared much
effort and saved several weeks of
valuable lame by being carried in air-
planes. The first attempt to utilize
the flying machines for this practical
purpose will be made in the Mackenzie
River basin and the flight will prob-
ably bo from Peace River landing, in
Northern- Alberta, to Fort Norman.
The man to advocate the air route
for geologists was Dr. Alfred Thomp-
son, member for the Yukon, who dis-
cussed the time -saving possibilities of
this plan in the House of Conations
two years ago.

A clerk in a government office who
was an ardent disciple of Isaac Wal-

cial, "to your sister getting married

Louvain Receives Books.
Personal libraries of German sav-

the shelves of the Louvain Library

says a despatch. ' The German pro-
fessors uro hard hit by heavy taxation

MARTIAL LAW IN IRELAND
PROCLAIMED BY LLOYD GEORGE
British Government Declares That This Action is Not to be
Token as a Hindrance to Any Proposed Settlernent, Ne-
gotiations for Which Are Now Proceeding.
A despatch from London, Friday,
says: -The British Government has
decided upon martial law for Ireland.
The proclamation issued by the Gov-
ernment Thursday night, and confirm-
ed by Friday morning's editions of
London newspapers, has prescribed
steiot miltitary regulations for Dublin
end the south-west districts of Ire-
land.
The first inkling of the startling
news came when the Daily Express
announced that the Government bad
decided to proclaim the military in
complete charge of the situation in
Dublin and other sections.
Tho Morning Post and the Chron-
icle confirm the news of the proclama-
tion. It is stated that the Govern-
ment insists that its action should
not be interpreted as a hindrance to
any proposed settlement, negotiations
for which are under way.
TheaaGoverrnuent, it is said, has
taken the position that the policy of
stamping out the "murder gangs" in
Ireland cannot he over -hidden because
of overtures which are being made
for peace in other directions.

itself with the thought that its own
dear dead is that unknown soldier of
the Abbey.
