MOST people busy themselves trying to reform OTHER people. They think things would be just a little better if somebody ELSE did just a Ilttlddifferent. But where the shoe pinches is probably with yourSELF, with MYself, with OURselves. When we get to the point of KNOWING this and acknowledging it, THEN we have made a atart, Let's try this line of reasoning in tack ling our Community problems. Where does the SHOE PINCH? "Ain I doing anything that is keeping BACK the growth of my community?" "Am I leaving anything UNDONE to advance the growth?" With THIS spirit we CAN co-operate, Co-operation wins every time.

BET','YER OF MISS CA`3ELL TO BE TRIED French Socialist Turned Traitor, Entered Service of Germans as a Spy. Paris, June 8. -Gaston Quien, a Socialist known as Luc, who, it is believed, played a prominent part in the betrayal of' Miss Edith Cavell, who was executed by the Germans at Brussels in October, 1915, will be placed on trial next month. A long preliminary trial, conducted by Capt. Gebrault, of. the Sixth Mili- SQUADRON OF DESTROYERS SECURED BY AUSTRALIA London, June 8. -The Government has handed over the destroyers Anzac, Swordsman, Tattoo, Stalwart, Success and Tasmania to Australia. The Anzac is the squadron leader, and the others are also of the latest type. The terms upon which the war vessels were handed over have not been disclosed. The Australian navy will .man and maintain them.

RID CANADA OF ALL BO nEvist Government to Deport Revoln,; do iist"a'anel Agitator's of All Nationalities. A despatch from Ottawa says: - A blow at Bolsheviem was struck in A 'blow at Bolshevism in Canada was struck in Parliamen to -day when a bill was passed giving the Govern- ment power to -deport red -eyed revo- lutionists, anarchists, agitators, riot ors and all persons who by word or act advocate the overthrow by force or violence of the Governments of Great Britain or Canada, or by word or act create or attempt to create any riot or public disorder in Canada, or. who without lawful authority assume any power of government in Canada. A record for lightning legislation was established when the measure was given all three readings in both Houses of Parliament, and received the 'Royal assent all on the same day --indeed, :' the, whole thing was done in less than an hour. Support in both, ,,louses was ,unanimous. This sudden;action on the part of the Government is taken to mean that constituted authority will no longer tolerate condeions such., as, those pre- vailing in Winnipeg for the past few weeks. The Government at last has decided to have a showdown, and agi- tators of the stamp of the Winnipeg strike leaders are to be summarily dealt with. The wording of the new clause -"Every person who by word or set," etc. -is sweeping, and pro- vides that the authorities can arrest a man on suspicion and deport him on the first ship. An unusual feature of the clause is that it empowers the Government to deport' British sub- jects. HUN SHIP LOSSESaf 5 F. ":,t ® TONNAGE Sunk, Captured and Seized by the Allies During War. A despatch from London says: - Vice -Admiral IIolhaeg, writing in the Vossische Zeitung, estimates the Ger- man mercantile marine before the war at a gross tonnage of five and a half millions. In the four and a half years of the war about three-quarters of a million tons were wheel, little more than the output of a single normal year. During the war about 1;000,000 tons were captured by the enemy, of which 325,000 tons were taker, on the high seas. Two and a half million tons took refuge on neutral harbors, but as neutrals came into the war the great- er part of this was lost. To Spain a total of 22,000 tons and to Holland 08,000 tons were given in compensa- tion for losses due to the U-boat cam- paign. He estimates that, in all, Germany lost about three and a half millions of gross tonnage during the war. BRITAIN WILL PURCHASE ALL AVAILABLE CANADIAN FOODSTUFFS British Food Controller Has Already Arranged For the Import of Bacon, Butter and Lard -Big Demand For Cheese. A despatch from London says: - Negotiations are now in progress be- tween Britain and Canada for the supply of all available foodstuffs to the former. High as are prices lit Canada at the present, it is on ar- rangements with her and her sister Dominions that the Mother Country airy Court, established that Quien is pinning her hope of cheaper food was serving a sentence in the jail prices, now that control has been. removed. Already 'arrangements have been made fox the export of bacon, butter, lard, etc„ from Canada during the present year, while the British Food Controller, Mr. G. H. Roberts, advocates permanent arrangements with a view to making the Empire self-supporting. There has been a rapid reduction in British food prices, but during the last month the figures were 107 per cent, higher than before the war as compared with 138 per cent. in November. It is threatened, however, that next Winter prices may be higher than ever, and it is for this reason that all available sur- pluses of food are being secured from Canada, Australia, South Africa and the other overseas Dominions. For at St. Quentin in 1914, and was liber- ated when the Germans first took the town. It is said he entered the Ger- man service as a spy and got em- ployment in Miss Cavell's hospital at Brussels. Soon after he began to work there, it is said, Miss Cavell was arrested and executed. Quien was afterwards sent to Switzerland as an invalid. Sixty witnesses have been called to testify in the trial. They include Princess • Maria of Croy, who also was denounced to the Germans by Quien and Madame Bovard, who was tried at the same time as Miss Cavell. You give up your liberty to him to whom you tell your secrets. ' ,x. t7' -3EA-fir 1E6E' 3E'.42%. :Iii es. i_ +T •• bacon supplies, for instance, Britain will continue to be dependent on Can- ada and the United `States, but fears competitive 'buying by Germany and Austria in this 'market, The stocks of bacon owned by the Ministry of Food are almost exhausted, and bacon will probably cost 3s. Oct. a pound very soon. As regards .' butter, Govern- ment contracts have been made with Australia and New Zealand for their exportable surplue up to next sum- mer, while negotiations are also in progress to obtain all available sup- plies from Canada as well as the United States, Holland, etc. Lard is expected to be extremely expensive, and Britain alone could take all of. Canada's surplus, As regards cheese, supplies are to be imported on private account from Canada. Mr. H. B. Thomson, ex -Canadian Food Control- ler, states that the Canadian farm- ers could increase their production tenfold and still be unable to meet all demands for the next few years. The Canadian production, be says, is the most disappointing when viewed in relation to the opportunities which exist. s=` JI445 'YOUR.

Iiia' departure, however, will not af- fect 'the plans of these crews, all of whom are rushing preparations in the hope of "hopping off" before the R-84 leaves England. THE VALUE OF A MAN'S LIFE. What Four Lost Men Were Willing to Pay Their Rescuer. • What is a man's life worth in cold dollars; or, in other words, how much is he willing to pay the person who rescues him from en almost certain death? Perhaps this incident may throw some light onthis vital subject. Men are occasionally lost in the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky by be- coming tired at the slow progress of their party and starting off on their own account, says Mr. Le Roy Jeffers in the Scientific American. After a little they become confused amid a multitude of passageways, wander round for hours until their lights go out, and then spend the night in dark- ness and fear, shouting until they are rescued, Some years ago four man got separ- ated from their party and failed to re- appear. At seven In the evening one of the guides went after them. IIs had already done a hard day's work, but he searched until ono in the morn- ing before he heard the calls of the lost ones. The only light they had left was nearly burned out, and they were thoroughly frelglrtonecl. After their rescue one of them said: "This man saved our lives; I move we each give hint a dollar." ALL LONDON SINGTNG LED BY 50,000 CHOIR A despatch from London says: - One of the greatest days of the peace celebrations in London will be the tri- bute of the Thames to the Mercantile Marine, when 1,300 boats manned 'by merchantmen and decorated with flags will form a pageant from the Tower Bridge to Chelsea. at is hop- ed that on -this occasion all London will be singing, led by choirs of 50,- 000 trained voices located along the river banks. Thirty bands have peen arranged for, and the decorations of the shores and bridges and strings of barges will be of a kind never before attempted in the history of the Thames. FRENCH HOTEL SERVANTS REFUSE TIPS FROM ENEMY A despatch from Versailles says: - Because, the servants employed at the Hotel des Reservoirs here, where the Gerairan peace delegation is quarter- ed, have refused to accept tips from 'the members of the delegation, the hotel management has announced that it has been compelled to advance prices ten per cent. in order to in- crease the employes' wages: LESS THAN 80,000 CANADIANS TO COME A. despatch from London says: - There are less than 80,000 Canadians now , awaiting repatriation. • Over 54,000 sailed during May.
