When the ¥Franco- Prussian war broke out in 1870, Schweitzer voted 1 nthe Reichstag for war eredit, while Wilheim Lieh- knecht, his fellow Socialist deputy, abstained, regarding the war uy a conflict between two: rival dynas- ties, Today, while British and Scandinavian socialism is predom- inantly pacifist, in its fibre, con- tinental socialism has always re- garded military force as a weapon to be used in creating a socialist state, The famous Socialist leaders like Bebel and Jaures always pro- claimed the necessity of citizens being trained to defend their country, Karl Marx prayed for a German victory over France In 1870 because he hoped that war would create a united Germany which would be more favorable for the advent of socialism. Lemp, before the world war, urged that "disarmament should Pé removed from the Socialist program because without arms capitalism couldn't be overthrown," Continental so- cialists always tended to admire universal military training as prac- ticed by the Swiss as being 'the most democratic type of defence of a nation. So, while the Socialist Government in Denmark a few years ago proposed virtually to aholish the nation's army and navy, the Communist regime in Russia raised and trained Europe's largest standing army. The Madgeburg Congress next March will show whether the pacifist ideology is strongest in the German Socialist party, or whether (the party will continue to trail in the tow of pre- paredness advocates as In the past. ---- BELLEVILLE SCHOOL RAZED BY FLAMES Damage Estimated at $125, 000 Was Only Partially Cov- ered By Insurance Belleville, Jan. 21.--Fire broke out in the assembly hall of the St. Michael's Separate School Acad- emy, completely destroying the structure, with a loss of $125,000, partly covered by insurance. Only theb are walls, which are of solid stone, are left standing. The firemen had a hard task controlling theb laze owing to the high winds which prevailed, and many nearby homes caught fire several times. It is believed the cause of fire was a short circuit in the wiring, as there was no furnace fire in the structure, due to the heavy floods of the week-end. The caretaker and one of the sisters at | the convent were in the school late (on Saturday afternoon and every- thing was in good shape at that time. NEEDLE TAKES LONG TIME TO COMPLETE A SHORT JOURNEY 'eston, W.

George 8S. Henry, Minister of Highways at the Veteran Memorial Hall, East York. "The latest achievement," he stated, "was the adoption of a def- inite program for the systematic retirement of our Provincial bonds. Up to two years ago, we kept on borrowing and renewing our de- bentures, being content to pay only the interest as it became due, The present administration has ap- plied $3,000,000 annually to the reduction of its bonded indebted- ness and will continue to do so each year." Such a policy, he contended, would soon prove of considerable advantage to the Province when borrowing in the future, Steady Power Increase Entering on a spirited defense of the Government's Hydro policy, he said that, with a developmet tos day of a million horsepower, it had a vision of a steady annual increase until this had at least been doub- ed. Touching on recent criticism offered, he stated that after all it was based on the fact that the gov- ernment was purchasing Gatineau power today at $15 per horsepower instead of accepting Sifton offer- ings at $19 per horsepower. This thrust was loudly applauded by the large audience., He closed by touching on the Cabinet's intention of taking a definite step for the adoption dur- ing the coming session of old-age pensions. "The Ottawa legislation is not by any means ideal," he said, "but we will take full advantage of it for what it is worth." Officers Elected Officers for the coming year were elected as follows: President R. M, Leslie, Reeve of East York; First Vice President, Hollis E. Beckett, Scarboro; Second Vice- President, Mrs. E. Goodwin, Tod- morden; Third Vice-President, George Elliott, North York; Secre- tary-Treasurer, Councillor J. A. Leslie, Scarboro.' / The retiring President, Frank L.
