French Secure Additiorlal,SUm8 at Bochum and Dortmund to
be Applied on Expenses of occupation of Ruhr.
A despatch from Essen says:--
Belgian
ays:—Belgiantroops have seized two billion
marks in paper money in the printing
plant of the General Anzeiger, Mule
beim, 'in the Ruhr. This money is sup-
posed, to have been printed in the
newspaper plant and intended for use
by the strikers in the Ruhr district.
Mulheiin ie the headquarters of the
Stinnes works.
Additional sums, also supposed to
have been printed for the striking
workmen, were seized by the French
at 13ochun and Dortmund. All the
Money will be _ applied as part pay-
ment of the expenses of occupation
of the Ruhr,
It is presumed by the French auth-1
orities that the Germans resorted to
the printing of money on the spot be-
cause of the difficulties of transport-
ing it into the occupied region with-
out 'running the risk of having .it
seized. The plateswere taken to
Medbeim, according to the French
theory, from Cologne • or Dusseldorf,
where there are branches of the Reich
printing department.
The French are of the opinion that
they have conclusive evidence' of Ger-
man plans for the secret printing of
marks, with .the purpose 'of paying
idle workmen :in the Ruhr. They have
a check on all the money printed in
Cologne and Dusseldorf,and thus are
able to detect any irregularities,
A bomb was exploded at the rail-
road bridge near Duisburg on Friday
in an attempt to destroy the strueture,
but the damage was slight. The
French troops guarding the bridge
fired several volleys at persons seen
fleeing from the vicinity ofthe build-
ing, but
uild-ing,-but failed to bring any of them
down.
The funeral of the thirteen victims
of Saturday's shooting at the Krupp
planthas again been postponed, this
time until early next week, in order
to permit the French surgeons to
examine the bodies. The wounded
also will be re-examined by the
French.
Bochum is again the storm centre of
the Ruhr, because of repeated acts of
individuals against the French troops
and the continued refusal of the Ger-
man officials to obey French army
orders. Penalties have been imposed
on the city, and French troops collect-
ed the. fines by force.
The streets on which the banks are
located were blocked by troops while
a detachment went into the Reichs-
bank branch and seized 250,000,000
marks. This sum was from a fund
Isent into the city from Berlin to pay
the French fine, but about a third of
the fund was intended for payments
in connection with the resistance
movement, the French contend.

A despatch- from St.<John's Nfld.,
says:—Determined efforts are being
made by the Newfoundland Govern-
ment to send food supplies to starving
settlements along the south coast,
isolated for many weeks by the 'ice
fields that block their harbors. The
mail steamer Kyle, plying between this
port and Sydney, N.S., was taken off
that route and left for the' southern
settlements: laden with provisions.
Already several vessels have put
out on similar errands' of mercy, but
e. all have fallen victims to the ice. All
are held ice -bound in southern har-
bors, some of them having been unable
to move for six weeks. The Kyle,
larger; and more, ,powerful, than the
others, hopes to be able to break
through the ice barrier.

The world needs better men—men
who reverence•-. the personality of
others as well as their own. Before
systems of government can be recon-
structed, before educational systems
can be rebuilt, there must be a now
value placed upon personality.
Rigid forms and curricula have
proved failures as educational, me-
thods. Freedom and an approach to
the realities of life are to take their
place, according to Sir Michael Sad-
ler. The mother -tongue must be the
, instrument to convey knowledge to the
child,. and education must become the
training for life, and not the training
for efficiency. "•
Hon. E. C: Drury tendered his con-
gratulations upon the wonderful suc-
cess of the convention.
"It means something," he said,
"that men and women interested in
the most vital of all questions in our
nation should be gathered together
from all our Provinces to disease the
great and large problems with which
we are faced. I believe that the prob-
lea of education in its relation to life

GUARDING AGAINST

Additions to Equipment Made
by Ottawa Fire Protection
Service.
A despatch from Cochrane, - Ont.,
says:—Considerable additions to the
available equipment has . been made
for the coming season's wont in the - •
north by the Ottawa Fire Protection
Service, according to E. G. Poole, sup -
Ai -visor for this district. Some of the
latest type of gasoline engines with
a pumping capacity of from 350 to
400 gallons per minute, have been de-
cided upon and these will be used to
protect town and village while they
also will be available for use against
forest fires in the bush.
Two reilway motor cars and a num-
ber of trucks will be added to the
equipment and the mounted patrol will
be enlarged in numbers. The permit
system will not be employed in the
New Liskeard area this summer, but
mounted rangers will patrol the dis-
trict. Motor boats and canoes will be
used extensively to cover the territory.

Quick action on the part of a G.T.R.

Street crossing. The engineer imme-
diately brought the train to a stop,
and cutting orf a piece of the bell rope,
made a tourniquet, which he applied
to Mr. Clark's bleeding limb and part-
ly stopped the flow of blood. ' The leg
had been severed below the knee, and
when the victim was admitted to the
Moix'treal General Hospital, it: was
found necessary to amputate above
the knee. Mr. Clark was reported to-
day as resting comfortably.;
