A despatch from Paris says:-- That Ex-Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany confidently expects to regain his throne within a short time and that he is in constant communication with his friends in Berlin, is the statement made recently by a man who has known the ex-Kaiser for many years and who was a guest at the Castle of Doom at the recent weddling of the daughter of Count Bewtinck to the ex-Emperor's aid-de-camp. In relating the matter, he said: "I had a ten-minute talk with the former Kaiser, during which he expressed himself freely, and hopefully. I remember him saying, 'Things are coming to a head in Germany because of the French oppression on one side and the growing Bolshevik menace on other. There will soon be need of the only power which can bring the country' back to unity--the house of Ho-henzollern. Then will come the time for which I am waiting in confident expectation. Those who say that my day has passed are going to hav< unexpected awakening.' " Sir Edward Carson Gives Up Ulster Leadership A despatch from London says:--Sir Edward Carson has decided to relinquish the political leadership of the Ulster Unionists and also not to take office in a new Ulster Administration, according to The London Times, which adds: "He considers his work, as Ulster leader, ended with the passing wf a Home Rule act acceptable to his followers and will make way now for a younger man. He goes to Ulster ;gpon to receive the thanks of the 'Unionists at a great farewell demon-ifeation which is being planned." j German cities, had its revolutionary' j upheaval in 1918; but since the death of Kurt Eisner, the Socialist premier, it has reverted to something like re-I action. The Bavarian countryside is i Roman Catholic, old-fashioned and by ! no means in love with the modern political theories that rule Berlin, j Bavaria has not yet disarmed, as j the rest of Germany has. There are hundreds of thousands of rifles still in j private hands in Bavaria. Most of i them are in the hands of members of j the Einwohnerwehr, or Citizens' Civil I Guard, which is a mysterious organization not controlled by the government. It was organized and is led by | one George Escherich, a university j graduate with the title of Doctor, who has been superintendent of the Ba-| varian forests and who has a reputa-1 tion as an African explorer and big-, game hunter. Locally it is called the j Orgesch, which is a convenient word j coined from the first syllables of the I words "Organization Escherich." The Orgesch is officered wholly! with veteran soldiers; it drills openly,! I owes1 allegiance to none but Hcrr Escherich, who say3 that his militia force is re-tad solely to resist the spread of Bolshevism. But Bolshevism is not a danger that anyone in Germany seriously fears to-day, whereas the Orgesch thrives and grows steadily formidable. Most people think that it is kept in condition to be used for the restoration of the monarchy in Germany. Certain it is that when an attempt was made to extend its organization to Prussio its sponsors there were men of such well-known monarchical views that the' present Prussian government suppressed it firmly. The same thing occurred in Saxony not long ago. The real republicans in Germany distrust Herr Escherich and are kept in constant uneasiness by rumors of approaching revolt in Bavaria. The name of Gen. Ludendorff comes now and then to the surface when such rumors are afloat; he is suspected of being Herr Escherichia military adviser. At the same time it is Whispered that Prance is not entirely hostile to the Orgesch and that its representatives have winked at the refusal of Bavaria to give up its rifles and pistols, because the French believe that they could get along amicably with a Germany in which Bavaria was the chief power, though they are implacably suspicious of Prussia and hostile to it. Much is going on beneath the surface of German politics that we can only guess at, but whenever another eruption occurs We may expect to find Herr Escherich and his organization near the centre of disturbance. THE WORK OF THE BLIND The Montreal Association for the Blind are holding numerous local demonstrations to awaken public interest in the good work that is going on. Among the most interesting of their activities are broom-making and chair-caning by blind men from the Industral Home, reading of Braille," typewriting from the dieU plume, knitting socks and stockings by machine by the pupiis of the school. Piioto shews a party of students at their work.

"We are traversing a period of | volcanic disturbance similar to | that occurring before the creation of man, and which caused the disposition of the present j continents, oceans and chains of | mountains," he said.

London, Jan. 6.---Speaking at the Foreign Samples Exhibition, which has been instituted by the Department cf Overseas Trade, and which comprises one hundred thousand samples of manufactured goods collected from all over the world, which are in competition with United Kingdom manufacturers, the Prince of Wales remarked: "I am very glad to hear that the successful organization of this great project to send a touring exhibition of British manufactures to the dominions likely to be completed at an early the ( chibition will get i throughout the domin Its advent will do much to remove the impression that British merchants do: not realize the importance of trade with the Empire, and the great opportunities of developing it within the: dominions and colonies." The exhibition starts next Summer on a series of overseas visits, which j will include South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and finally Canada. The products of 700 manufacturers are represented in the exhibition. date. During my recent Australia I realized that danger of losing our hold markets in the dominions i were formerly supreme, which we are gradually being ousti by foreign competition. I am quite sure, however, the danger is only temporary and will pass. I feel confident r through »n certain which nd .ir Toronto--Reports reaching the financial district here are to the effect that Britain is repaying $150,000,000 credit granted during the war by a group of Canadian banks. It is stated that the loan is being paid off at rate of $5,000,000 a month. Port Arthur--The Provincial Paper Mills, Ltd., have secured a pulp wood limit of some 1,220 square miles, well timbered, in the Nipigon district, and will commence operations in this city immediately. Finances for this undertaking has been arranged by the authorization of an issue of $3,000,-000 in bonds. Reading is New Viceroy of India A despatch from London says:-- Lord Reading, the Lord Chief Justice and forwer Special Ambassador to the United States, has decided to accept the post of Viceroy of India. The appointment of Lord Reading as Viceroy of India was announced several days ago, and attention was then called to the fact that for the first time in history a Chief Justice had been named as Viceroy.

Good heavy steers, $1' European magazines for children are making their appearance in which the effort is made to sweep away all | "superstitions" about God and the i church and to sow in all directions the! seed of class hatred. The child is! taught, to believe that the employer is I the enemy of the employed and that the rich have no heart for the poor and no right to any accumulation, of possessions. There is to be no rising | by honest toil and the sweat of the brow to any post of vantage above the general level of mediocrity. Ambition! is a delusion, and the will to excell points the way to misery for those! left behind in the race. There will be no incentive of reward and no competition. In their effort to invert the natural laws and upset divine ordainment the Bolshevists ignore the teachings of ■history, the results of human experience. The schools in Russia to-day are founded on the shifting sand of atheism, at the extreme of the reaction from the once impregnable conservatism of the orthodox church. The Bolshevists have a song whose burden is, "We have got rid of God, now let us go after the priests." In the December issue of "The Red Dawn" is this passage: "We despise their mythical Christmas; we'despise their church and their state, their army and their navy their artists and their poets, their line ladies and their great men; we despise them root and branch We laugh at them and all their flunkeys, wheth-it be a bishop or a god; for they are The Bolshevists are jealous of the invasion of what they consider their bailiwick, by the Friends, or by the Salvation Army, or toy any other body whose influence goes to contravene the teachings of destruction, hatred, ir-religion. The ghastly mischief is that the Bolshevists spread the poison of their doctrine among the youngest and the most susceptible. The children are allowed to hear nothing else and they believe what they are told. The future offers a deplorable prospect of a land overgrown by the tares of vicious doctrine where good wheat might have been planted. Even the cruelties inflicted on evicted aristocrats are not so dreadful as the systematic debauchery of the minds of the young under pretense of liberty and enlightenment. Former Secretary to de Valera Placed Under Arrest. A despatch from Dublin says:-- Twenty-four military raids were made in Dublin. Detachments of soldiers and sailors on Thursday surrounded a 'little island in Cork harbor and searched it thoroughly. One arrest was made, that of Patrick Sheahan, at one time secretary to Eammon do Valera. At three o'clock Thursday morning Patrick Durr, aged twenty, son of a; farmer near Ballintober, was shot dead by a gang of masked men. Durr was called outside of the house by the men, who found him asleep in the place with two others. He was ord^ ered to dress, and when he appeared at the door he was shot through the right eye, his heart and a leg. He was left in a pool of blood. The other two men jumped from a rear window and escaped. The directors of the Freeman's Journal, who have been in jail foi some weeks, were ordered released Thursday night by the authorities on the ground of ill-health. It was stated officially on Thursday by Sinn Fein leaders that no peace negotiations are under way, and that President de Valera will not discuss any peace proposition with the British Cabinet which does not embrace tho recognition of the Irish Republic. De Valera is "on the run" here the same as all other Sinn Fein members of Parliament, and is liable to arrest at any moment. A large force of British military, with armored cars, made raids in Fer-moy, County Cork, on Thursday. They seized goods valued at about $500 from four tradesmen and saloonkeepers. The people of Fermoy considered the raids and the seizures as-a fine levied on the city, and Thursday night, as a measure of satisfaction, prompt shinment, straight run bulk, butcher steers, choice, $10 to $11; do, seaboard, $8.50, nominal.

A large percentage is said to be tillable, and many settlers have.already made good in this area. Such a percentage can be considerably increased by drainage. Several thriving settlements have sprung up in this part of the Province, which is traversed by the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway and the Canadian National Railways. The clay belt varies in depth north and south from 25 to 100 miles. t the gate of The flaming sword the Garden of Eden the hands of the British administration of Mesopotamia. tg the There's a real reward awa man or woman who discovei for Christmas cards after their st( ! eotyped messages have passed thi I initial reading. .
