CASUALTIES IN 5 DAYS OF IRISH REBELLION TOTAL 63 KILLED, 67 WOUNDED Sivty-Seven Persons Wounded--Casualties Include Crown Forces, Sinn Feiners and Civilians--Sensational Rescue of Prisoners. A des itieipated, j tch from London says:--In s days from Saturday last to Wednesday, inclusive, the casualties reported in Ireland, comprtsng the Crown forces, Sinn Feiners and civilians, total 63 killed and 67 wounded. - For every man executed vengeance I as the Government ny men liable to the 1 is said to mean to ms, the piling up of le is considered here No big outbreak is thought probable, but the daily guerrilla warfare against the troops and police and the individual shooting of policemen and men suspected of having dealings with them are considered not likely to be seriously checked by any Government measures yet taken. A sensational rescue of Irish prisoners took place Wednesday evening in County Roscommon. A military party was proceeding toward Long- h custody d ath penalty, c, rry out execL d -ath a vi table. ford in two lorr bushed by Irish forces near Stroke; town. Capt. Peel of the Ninth Lancers and four soldiers were shot dead and several of the soldiers, including Lieut. Tenant, were wounded. The Irish attacked from both sides,of the road and when the troops were overcome the prisoners that they had with them were taken away. In the Court of the King's Bench, on Wednesday the Lord Chief Justice j granted a conditional order of habeas j corpus in behalf of six prisoners | court-martialed at Cork on the charge of levying war. The application wasj made on the ground that the court-martial had no jurisdiction. Attorney: Comyns, in making the application,! said that the execution of three of the I men had been fixed for Saturday. The' Lord Chief Justice said that no executions could occur in the face of the court's order, which would be directed to Gen. Strickland and the officers of the court-martial. OXFORD SCULLERS for the famous Oxford-Cambridgi Canada and Armenia. Canadians are especially interested in their own workers in the disturbed area of the Cross Roads of the Near East. The following has been received at the headquarters of Armenian Relief:-- "Only the quick work of Miss Emma Wood and Miss Frances McQuade, its managers, saved from "total destruction the Canadian Hospital for Tubercular children at Yedi Koule, Constantinople, built by Canadian funds, when the building was recent-!y damaged by fire. "The workers were aroused early in the morning by the smell of smoke. Miss Wood gave the alarm and the fire was finally located in the store rcom. Courageously entering the room, the workers removed six cans cf gasoline. The blaze was finally extinguished after it had caused a loss of two hundred dollars." Miss Wood's home is at 221 College Avenue, Sarnia, Ontario. Miss McQuade is a native of Charleston, West Virginia. Miss Wood is a graduate of the Training School for Nurses, John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Md. Since graduating she has had quite a varied experience. A year was spent in Pittsburg, Pa., in connection with treatment, Dr. Carrell, himself, being in the hospital. Miss Wood remained with this hospital until March, 1918, when she sailed for Palestine with the American Red Cross Commission to Palestine, which was sent out under Colonel John Finley. Her duty to the Commission was that of surgical nurse, and she acted in this capacity in the American Red Cross Hospital at Jerusalem. She remained in the East until the spring of 1919, when she sailed for Paris. In France a couple of months was spent in Red Cross duties, and then Miss Wood, with other nurses, left for Poland to help in the fight against typhus in that country. She remained in Poland five months and during this time had a very harrowing experience in the Polish town of Biola. At the end of the five months she returned to France, sailed for America, and arrived back in Sarnia in the middle of December, 1919. After a rest of three months, she engaged with the Near East for service in the Caucasus and, with others, sailed for Constantinople in March, 1920. The journey was made into the Caucasus, but on account of conditions there, the nurses were taken jack to Constantinople last summer. At this time, arrangements were be-:.ng made to open up the Canadian Hospital for Tubercular Children at Yedi Koule, and Miss Wood was appointed Superintendent of the hospital and delegated to oversee the renovation and equipment of the hospital. She is still the acting Superintendent at Yedi Koule, and from the tone of her letters, one would infer that she is very much in love with her work. Send contributions to Mi TO FORM A NEW PROVINCE OF CANADA Commons Resolution Would Divide British Columbia. A despatch from Ottawa says:-- The formation of a new Province of Canada conecstingf of "all that portion of British Columbia which lies to the north of the 52nd parallel of north latitude and including the Yukon Territory, subject to the approval of a majority of tbe electors cf all the territory mentioned and determined by a plebiscite," is being moved in the House of Commons by Col. C. W. Peck, V.C., and seconded by Dr. A. Thompson, Yukon. Col. Peek's resolution reads: "(1) Whereas, it has been the policy of Canada to establish new Provinces as the country develops, as was done by the creation of the Provinces of i Manitoba, Saiskatchewan and Alberta-and, "(2) Whereas, the natural resources of northern British Columbia an-c those ofthe Yukon are of a similiai character; and "(3) Whereas, these resources are being developed and as a result, the population of this territory is rapidlj v "(4) Whereas, that the census t will show suffi'i A Startling Innovation. Wherever, in any part of Ontario, twenty or mere persons wish to proceed to a University degree without discontinuing their employment, facilities to accomplish their ambition are offered by the Provincial University so far as'its finances and the size cf its staff will permit. For years the University cf Toronto has had special arrangements to enable teachers to secure higher academic qualifications and the degree of B.A. without £ ing up t t the fully expected taken this y-ear population to of another Pro- "(5) Whereas, the building of the Grand Trunk Pacific created a natural political division-- "(6) Resolved, that a new Province be formed consisting of all that portion of British Columbia which lies to the north of the 52nd parallel of north latitude, and including the Yukon Territory, subject to the approval of a majority of the electors of all the territory mentioned as determined by a plebiscite." Widows' Pensions Budget Lower in Britai- A despatch from Lo ing positions. At the March meeting of the University Senate these arrangements were extended and adapted to meet the needs of people ergaged in any ordinary employment. With only certain absolutely indispensable regulations as to size of classes, control of staff, suitable equipment for scientific subject?, and with enly ordi-' nary university fees prescribed, the opportunity is offered for the establishment of what may be virtually local colleges affiliated with the Provin cial University. The course thus offer ed is the "pass" or "general" course the subjects of the first year being English, Latin, French, algebra and geometry (one paper), trigonometry, and science, and those of the second, third, and fourth years being English, French, science and any two of history, psychology, and political economy. This departure is in accord with the well-known democratic policy of Ontario's University. Its design is to make the advantages of higher education available throughout the University's entire constituency. This is no "cheapening" of university education, for university teaching and examinations will be maintained at the traditional high standard, but it does bring higher education to the people's doors --especially to the doors of those adults who have, for any reason, failed to avail themselves of youth's opportunity for learning. To obtain a B.A. degree will involve just as much work as it ever did, but the extran .obstacles have been removed. ns as this, a th the notable work that has id is being done in the regular -at entitle the University of Tor the most generous support of the DEBT IS NOT DUE, DECLARES GERMANY Maintains That She Couldn't 5 Pay it Anyway--Urges Parleys.

"First^-Gei money asked for. SeoondV-If she did owe it she couldn't pay it. Third--However, Berlin would talk it over with the allies. The Reparation Commission drafted a reply to Berlin saying Germany could not question the figures of the commission and had not met the demand* to fulfill the treaty terms. The commission sent to the allied Governments notification that Germany had failed to fulfill the reparation terms of the treaty, and advising action. Under the treaty Germany was pledged to pay 20 billion marks before May 1 when and how the Ccm-mission of Reparation should decide. Against this sum Germany was to be credited with deliveries of property lo the allies after the armistice. Several months ago Germany announced she had paid 20 billions. One month ago the Reparations Commission completed its valuation and announced that Germany had paid eight billions, and thus owed 12 billions more, and on March 15 sent Germany notice to pay up before May 1. Tbe German note stated that Berlin could not accept the Reparations Commission valuation of its payments, that Berlin eitiniaicd 20 billion mark.--had been paid, and therefore it owed neither the one billion asked for on March 23 nor the eleven more asked for by May 1. Tbe note says Germany is ready to present further argii-ments that it hi3.s paid up. Officials of the Reparations Commission state that the commission was sovereign, and that its figures stood. Therefore^ Germany is in the position of refusing to fulfill the treaty. A party of sixty British farmers with £35,000 for investment in land have sailed for Canada. The majority are bound to the Lloydminster district in Alberta. Weekly Market Report $2.75 to $3. Maple sugar, lb., 19 ter Toronto.
