LL.B., Den-, ver, Colairado. Pathologists and other "ists" ut the Washington operating table, dis- covered that they'huve a bigger un- dertaking ou their hands thun they imugined, when the elephantine -Chin.- ese -body wns puced--before-theým for diagnosis and trentment. The con- ference next door, may not have thel patience to wuit until tins work is done and the reports are rendy for presentation. This, in fuet, is whut the wise men from the East predict-ý ed before the conference was culied to order. They knew better thun the West, the difficulties of the problem, the ramifications which the diseuse buas taken in ail these years. It is not somiething that can be doue uwny with by preamble and resolution. And Chin's sud condition is the raison d'etre, us the diplomatie iung- nage wouid have it, for the confer- ence. Limitation of naval arma- ments, aff ecting great battlesiips, was coming soon uuywuy, and for two very good rensons: fifty months of warf are on land arnd sea ieft their lessons; second, the treusuries of the nations interested cannot stand the costs. But moribund China was be- coming the reuson for a great war ut no distant day, and, very iikeiy among the two powers least afi'ected by the recent world-war. Resolutions have been udopted.ai- reudy by the confereuce, unanim- ously, to respect the sovereignty and indepeudence of China, but if simple resolves would cure the worid of its ilis, Nirvana wouid be bere in no time for statesmien are strong on resolu- tions if shy ou performance. An international body of experts muy be sent to China to study the situation ut close range, and inter makçe report and recommendation to the confcrcncc for ità ncxt asembly. Maybe this is the easiest way and it may be the hast way to hundie the problem. It is a question of whether China, if left to itself hias the recuperative power to corne buck. China was oid in civilîzation before we were dis- covered.' Younger and more nggres- sive nations have eut the Empire into sections, and have humiliated its gov- erument and people. Chiuese im- posts are levied ut the demand of f oreign goveruments .Foreig»ers doing business vWithin China bave their own laws and even courts to en- force them-extra territorinlity, it is termed lu the lungunge'. These things have brought demoralization and corruption into China. Graft in high places is common and accepted as part of the system. Europe lias been ut China's vitals for muny yeurs. More recently Jupan hias taken the iead, ai-d dJapar 's excuse is that if Japan does not take the guardian- ship of the potentinlly.weaithy empire foreigners, Occidentals, wiii leave uotbing. Japan is essentially Asint- îc. Ecouomicaiiy Japati lias maly advantages over the further remov- ed nations; and oue of these daysthe sloganmuy become lu parts of China ns weli us in Japan, of "Asia- for the Asiaties" The Chinese question canuot be settled by naval or miitary holiday. It is n process of nature. The Hughes progrnm for the-navies of the three great naval powers, menus the status quo nnd postponement of a resort to force; but China in disrup- tion comes under a different heading. If China is to be snved eventualiy, the suving process must come from witl- in. It lad heen prophesied long before the earliest delegate reaehed Wash- ington, thnt the first danger to the success of the conference would be the outcry and misrepresentation of the "yellow press" about "seýrecy", "old time diplomacy", the "betrayal of the peopie's rights", etc., if the aforasaid yeliow press were not ai- iowed to coach and direct every step of the proceedings from inside the side lhues. The observer or prophet was right, and the outcry las beguni. Sub- committees are to be allowed privacy in the collection and marshaiing of fuets which tley are to iay bef ore the conferenee. These subcommitteés will have no power, excapt to sub- mit the resuits of their work to tie mn1ain body; they cannot deci de any- thing, axcept to go ont to'lunch, or to knock off for thc night once lu every 24 hours. But, on the other baud, they will neyer cover the details of their work if a bunci of specini cor- respondents laaning over their shoulders and shuffliig their papers, or rocstautly interruptiug their stud- But the ye "liowsee a good chan leave the details to the representa- tives. A bright spiurge of "yeiiow" over the background of the confer- enlce can serve no good purpose. Th ecountry admires 'and trusts 'Presidlent Harding and heartily ap- proves the way he bas delegated and dlirected his secretary of state, to uip- hold Americn'splace lu the sun. Mr. Hlughies bhimself is fast becoming one of the most trusted and enthusiasti- caliy ndmired pubilic mien in the Unit- ed Sýtates. We al have confidence and implicit f nith that thre confer- ence will resuit in great good, and wili effectunlly dethrone the demion "êwar", from bhis power over thre children of men. 5c a Copy. No. 51 REV. M. P. TALLING DEAD A Bowjmanville Bay Who Won a Hligh Place in the Literary Warid. Suiden deuths of late have been very niumer'ous, This-week we are culied up o to record the unaxpect, ed passing .uway of a man wel knowu and much bsloved by a very large cirele of friends and an active an-lyal 1-membér -of tha -Toronto] Durham Old Boys', Association,, now known as the Durham Club-Rey. Marshall Peter Talling, B. A., Ph. D.-weil kiiowr, writer and lecturer on religions themes, ut bis residence 91 Lonsdaia Road, Toronto, on Tues-1 day evening, December 13, 1921.' From a brief sketch of bis curear tînt appeured in the city pupers i is izarned tint Bev. Dr. Tuliing who wus born in Bowmanvilie in 1857, hence wus in his 64ti yeur, gradu- ated from the University of Tor- onto lu 1888 and two years inter completed bis theological course ut Knox Collage-. Soon uftsr hebecame minister lu charge of St. James' Presbyteriuu Church, London, Ontario, but more thun 20 years ugo he, resigaed since whieh time lehe d iived in Toronto and dsvoted himself to iiterury work and -iecturing. . Ris book, "Extem- pore Prayer", man into severai edi- tions, and two other works, "Inuer Communion witl God" and "Science of Spiritual Lif e" aiso gain-ad cou- siderable recognition. Ouly three wesks ugo hie completed a fourth book, on wiich hie had been engnged 12 years. Hes was the autior of mnny religions articles ulso, hnd lect,- ured extensiveiy lu Canada anid the- United States, and was widely-travel- ed. He was a member of the Toron- tû Presbytery, and was very popular among a large circie of frieuds. Bey. Mr. Tnlling wus murried in 1892 ta, Mary Cooper, daughter of the late William Cooper, of Toronto, wlo survives bim, as do also a bro- ther, Frank, of Vancouver, B. C., and a sister, Mrs. Richard White, of Mil- ton, Outario. The funeral services were condueted ut the fnmily resi- dence' on Frîdny, ut 2.30 p .m. by Bey. E. A. Henry, D. D., minister ut Deer Park Preshyterian Churel. The people of Bowmnnville lu par- ticulur and of Durham eowqnty lu gen- erul have for Rev. Dr. Taliing muel more than a passing interest, for bis parents,' the late Mr. and Mrs. Fran- cis Tailing, iived in this towu for muny years and it wus here Marshall was born and received most of is early educution ut the old Union Sehool wbere the Central Public Sehool now stands. The senior ed- itor of this journal who wus lis tencher after bie grew. up ta young manbood remembers lis sayîng tînt the first tendher wlo beuefltted hîm much was the lute General Sir Sam Hughes, who taught in the Bowman- ville Union Selool while Marsball was n pupil there. It wus in the yeurs 1876-7 wheu the writer wus headmaster of Balti- more Publie Sebool tînt Marshall Tailing, tien a farm boy of some 18 yeàrs of uge, with a cluss of 15 or more other young men and young women attended that sebool, wus a very studious, fuitiful and popular school-feliow, and we have been close friends ever since. Hie left Baltimore iu 1877 and it was uext year that le obtained his Third Ciass and also bis Second Class Teucher's Certificate ut the Bowmun- ville HigI Selool and he bas remark- ed to us nppreciatively that le owed muel of bis sucess in preparation for these exuminutions to'Dr. W. E. Tilley who ut tînt period was the Mthematical Master. (Wlnt n coin- cidence tînt fmaster and pupil both selfmade educutionalists shouid lave died suddenly witbin n f ew days of ench other). As wus the custom tien and it was a good preliminary training for teaehing Mr. Tulling during the Aut- uma Termi attended the County Model Selool ut Port Hope wlere a since distinguished educationist was Hend Master-Dr. D. J. Goggin, M. A., a Cartwright old boy. Dr. Tai- iing has.told us of lis good fortune in baving had excellent tendhers, for here too, Dr. Goggin during tint termi ut Port Hope opened a new chapter lu life for him. Dr. Talling tangît sebool first in 1879 ut S. S. No.' 1, Cartwright, and lu 1880-81 ut Perrytown, Hope Town- ship. It was whileaut Perrytown tînt le came under the tuition of unother able andsuccessfui aducator -Dr. Adam Purslow, M. A., tien Rend Master of Port Hope HigI Sebool-under wlom le studied Lat- in. Iu 1882 Mr. Tnliing went to Tor- auto 'and uttended Normal Sehool graduating ut the sud of bis year.

His, Enniskilleri. The ceremony was performed by -Rev. S_ C. UC4oor-, B. A., B .D., as- sisted by Rev. W. T. Wickett of Ty- rone, in the presence of some forty relatives and friends. The bride, who was unattended, entered the drawing- room on the arn of her father to the- strains of Mendelssohn's- weddinp march played by Miss Mabel Couch, the bride's sister, and the bridai par- ty took their places beneath a huge wedding bell.' The bride looked charming in a gown of wite ýmes- saline and georgette tr:im--med with narrow white braid, and wore the groom's gift a handsome peari neck- lace. Rer embroideý~ed tulle >veil was daintly, arranged and held ini place b,, a cýrown of orange blossoms with a small sprig of heather, and shie carried a shower bouquet of white roses and carnations.> After congratulations and good wishes the guests repaired to the din- ing room ,where the wedding break- f ast was served by six of the bride's girl friends. _Later the bride and groom left amnid showers of confetti 'for a short honeymoon in Toronto and other western point, the bride travelling in a tailored suit of navy tricotine with navy hbat and sable furs. Among the gifts, which were both numerous and- useful,' was a beauti- fui eut glass water set and brass tray from the Superintendent and Nurses of thle Bowmnanville Hqoapital of which the bride is a gruduate. MORE EDUCATION NEEDED, Miss Agnes.,McPhail, M. P., Tells Farm Women Her Views. The first public. address of 'the first w,Àomun elected to the flouse of Commons of Canada does hier much credit. Her views regurding country schools are sane andcompelling. She is thlus reýported ,: Miss Agnes Me- Phail, M. P.-elect, again played a leading part in the program at the coucluding session of the third an- anal convention of the United Farm Women on Ontario yesterday at the Labor Temle., It was left to Miss McPhail to draft a resolution em- bodying the changes which are de- sired for the rural sehool system. Her idea is that educational facîlities should be deveioped in the country, so that the best of the farmers' sons and daughteýrs will remain on the land, and 'thus ruise the status of agriculture. Miss McPhail does not approve of the young people leaving the furm to come toithe City. Hau- ing been a teacher in the rural sehools for a number of years, she declded tha- she must advance éducation by-- stirring up the community to de- mand more progressive methods. To encourage education in the country would keep the young people at home. THANKS FIREMEN Ithink it is due Fire Chief Edger and his firemen to at leust thank them in a public way through your paper for their prompt action and good management in connection with fire that burnt part of my big ice bouse and totally, destroyed the small one. I cannot say too much in their praise and I don't believe we haif appreciate the service and sac- rifice that they make in giving their service to the town as it is dangerous work and men are cailed out of warm homes at the risk of taking severe colds and sacrifice to their health, and 1 as a citizen and ratepayer more than appreciate their service.
