LIND AT CAPETONN LINDA'S SURVE Brig. E. M. Jack Outlines . Lead Taken by Canada Eape Town, Union of South At- fea, July 23.--Warm praise of Panada's national surveys was ex- pressed "by Brigadier E. M, Jack, p.'B,, C.M.G., D.S.0., in his, presi- ential address on the subject or "National Surveys" before the geo graphical section of the British As- jociatién for the Advancement of ce today. Belen. will To remembered," he said, "that Canada (owing mainly 10 the late Dr. Deville, Surveyor- General) has taken the lead mn photographic method of surveying. This, country is particularly suit- able for this method and great pro- gress made is largely due to 1ts option. phot may be fairly said that Can- ada is showing a fine example In sarrying out systematic surveys of per "territories, surveys geodetic, jopographical and cadastral." He went on: to explain the peculfar fifficulties connected with under- stgnding Canadian methods of ore ganization. There were, he sald, several Survey Departments, each' respongihle for certain branches of work. 'Each province, he explain- »d, had 'its own survey organiza- on "concerned mainly or entirely with cadastral or land surveys. rhe Dominion had Its own survey srganization, responsible for do- minion lands, and having for tne Beld geodetic survey, topographical survey and international bounaary wurvey.

In opening his address the speak- er dealt in a general way with the ideals and purposes of the survey. The ultimate result of all properly accomplished work was the pro- duetion of a map. This map found final form in a properly printed and published reproduction of the country or survey had really failed in its object. There were two kinds of maps--topographical and cadastral: A cadastral map had for its purpose the definition of the boundary lines of farm properties and was.thus on a very large scale The. topographical was concerned with delineation of the physical features of the country and was usually on:.a much smaller scale. The speaker dealt with the sur- vey 'situation in various parts of 'the world, The survey systems in the countries of Europe were all more or less similar, he said. There was in most cases little attention paid to cadestral mapping but very adequate work was being done on topographical surveys which in most cases was entirely in the hands of the military. Proper to- pographical mapping was consider- ed of prime importance in the event of war, hence its connection with the military department. The almost entire absence of proper ca- dastral maps of the country on ana around the Western Front during the World War was keenly felt, he said, "European countries assum- ed prior to the World War that ca- dastral maps were of no great mili- tary value," he said, "As the war went on the demand grew for maps of larger and larger scale. Eng- land was no wiser in this respect; but she was much wiger in her zur- vey policy. Had the war occurred in England it would have been an easy matter to supply maps of any scale required. Tn France, how of- ten the armies wished that good ac- curate, large-scale maps were available?

We used the huplred-year-old French cadastrals and were very glad to have them; but how enormously their value would have enhanced if they 'had ben modern up-to-date maps!" Passing on to the survey system in operation in Egypt, Brigadier Jack observed: 'The survey of Egypt has a wide reputation' for excellence and 'efficiency, and it fis fair to note that organization and development are due almost entire- ly to British control and supervi- sion. The survey of Egypt com- plies closely with the standard which I have advocated for a na- tional. survey." In regard to the situation ob- taining in the United States, the speaker said methods there closery approximated those in existence in Canada. There was the same ap- parently chaotic lack of central and unified control in evidence and at the same {ime the same extreme practical efficiency of its system, Although in other countries geol- ogy and topography were not con- sidered to he connected at all in the United States all topographical maps were produced by a bureau.of the Department of the Interior called the Geological Survey. Reviewing survey activities in India and in Ceylon, the speaker praised their efficiency. 'The Sur- vey of India has deesrvedly a world wide reputation," he said. "It is a highly organized and ad- mirable survey, which in its geo- detic and other scientific work can bear comparison with any in the world, On the mapping side, how- ever, its activities are confinea solely to topographical work. Tho survey prints and publishes its own maps." Ceylon and the Federated Malay States had a first rate sur-| vey. | Turning to survey activities in| finest survey work in the world has South Africa, Brigadier Jack stressed the necessity of pushing forward this work in the country. Although mining and other geolo- gical activity made up a large part of the life of South Africa, geology had not forwarded the work. Over vast stretches of country topo- graphical mapping was barely com- menced and the work not advanc- ing too rapidly. In concluding the speaker said: "South Africa has a great survey tradition behind it. Some of the greatest survey schemes were started in this country; some of the been done 'in it; and some of the best surveyors of the Empire have heen trained here. South Africa ought not to be content to lag be- hind other nations in this matter. She ought to be in the van, setting an example to others. The people of South Africa should be deter- mined to have a National Survey adequate to their place among the nations, and worthy of their his, tory and great traditions." ALCOCK AND BROWN Bruce Gould in his boow "Sky Larking," predicts that 100 years hence Captain John Alcock and Ar- thur E. Brown will be honored above all other pathfinders of the air. The acclaim that should have been theirs was denied them, It may be, as Mr. Gould suggests, that all countries were too near the dangerous days of the war 'period in 1919 to properly appreciate Brown and Alcock, The world was tired of heroes, in fact there were more of them than there were jobs, and in the news of the monumental proceedings at Versailles which were then being pushed to a HOSTILITIES WERE "BEGUN BY SOVIET CHINESE CHARGE Eastern Provincial Govern- ments Allege Cargo Boats Seized Mukden, July 24--The Northeast- ern Provincial Governments of China yesterday issued a long declaration, in which it was declared that Soviet Russia had actually begun hostilities by the scizure of Chinese cargo boats and freight trains, and by send- ing aeroplanes over Chinese terri- tory. An English translation of the manifesto was given out here, and it was said that the Chingse version would be issued at Nankin. It de- clared that "apparently this (action by Russia) will lead to a breach of the Kellogg Anti-war Pact." Relations Reviewed The statement reviewed at great length the relations between China and Soviet Russia and dwelt upon the charges already made at Nankin that Soviet Government officials had used their positions to further Com- munist propaganda inimical to China. These alleged violations of treaties between the two countries were held to justify Chinese action in removing the Russian management of the Chinese Eastern Railway ' in this Province, conclusion, Alcock and Brown were quickly forgotten. er ---------------- } Clara: "Do you get your alimony | Marie: "No, T might just as well | be living with him." It was said that, while the Central Government of China had already notified the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics of its attitude, the Political Council of the Northeasterr Prove inces of China wished to emphasize its importance by publishing this de- claration. ,It was signed by the Liaoning Provincial Government, the Kirin rovincial Government and the Hei-Lung-Kiang Government, After detailing the treaty obliga- tions of the two countries and charg- ing recurring violations of these on the part of Russia, the manifesto proceeded: "It is quite natural that the Chi- nese Government could not tolerate a conspiracy within its territory without taking self-protecting mea- sures, Consequently the go Consulate-General was searched and many documents were found proving the guilt of the conspirators . "If, then, the U.S.S.R. had apolo- gized and expressed its willingness not to allow any further occurrences of this kind in the future, the Chi- nese Government would have been happy in continuing its friendly re- lations with it. "The U.S.S.R., however, did noth- ing of the kind. Instead, it-protested, and ifsinuated that the found docu- ments were forged, The Chinese Government then redlized that the only solution was to take some dras- tic steps for protecting its own m- terests. Consequently the office of the Third International, labor unions and other Soviet. organizations in Harbin were closed, and the services of the Russian manager and vice- manager of the Chinese Eastern Railway were suspended. "The U.S.S.R. originally attempted to understand the Chinése Eastern Railway situation by sending a rep- resentative to China for negotiations. He was, however, suddenly recalled and an ultimatum was sent to China expressing all kinds of unreasonable demands. "The Chinese Government replied to this ultimatum in a conciliatory way, still leaving it open to the U.S. S.R. to open hegotiations. The U.S. S.R. did not take any notice of this reply. Instead, it declared a rupture | ing China. of the diplomatic relations with | "In the interests of peace and The wise man never waits till he is ariven by neeces- | sity, secure your CONGER COAL now while best services are available, p he ~ Phones 871 -- 931 -- 687-W. Manager, | 7 order for facilitating international communications, the Chinese Gov- ernment has thus felt itself obliged | to clear the Chinese Eastern Rail- way from Bolshevist influence. As to the actual management of the Chinese Eastern Railway, the Chi- nese Government repeats its willing- | ness to respect the 1924 agreement, "If the US.S.R. does not under- | stand this plain attitude of the China and recalled its Consuls, "Military preparations were also begun by moving troops to the Chinese frontiers, and hostilities ac- tually began by the scizure of Chi- nese cargo boats and freight trains, and by sending aeroplanes to fly over Chinese territory. Apparently this will lead to a breach of the Kellogg anti-war pact which has recently been signed, "The local authorities in China are serving the same purpose to prevent : Chinese Government, but continues alt Bolshevist influence from enter- its hostile acts leading into further grave 'occurrences, it will bear the whole responsibility." w jey ELLA CINDERS--Yearnings Of A Farm-Girl 0 DELICACIES!
