THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT, THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1921. IRISH ELECTIONS EXPECTED TO BRING PEACE TO EMERALD ISLE "Ireland Under the Home Rule Act Can Get AH She Wants" Declares Chief Secretary Sir Hamar Greenwood --De Valera is Leader of S outhern Parliament and Sir James Craig Will Head Northern House. A despatch from Dublin says:-- "The end of the Irish question is *~ This statement was made to the correspondent on Thursday afternoon by Sir Hamar Greenwood, Chief Secretary, for Ireland, in an interview. "Ireland under the Home Rule Act which is now a law can get all sh wants," he continued. "The whole policy of the British Government and of my administration in Ireland is to hand over the government of Ireland to the Irish, and after the election which is now impending the right and power to govern Ireland will be transferred to the Southern and Northern Parliaments. "The accepted Leader cf the Southern Parliament is Eamonn De Valera. The Northern Parliament after May 24 will have as its accepted Leader Sir James Craig. Both these leaders can pledge and bind the whole of Ireland. They have already met and, in my opinion, it is their duty to meet again, and I hope they will. They have the power, and I am sure the desire, to bring peace to their own country. If they want the Imperial Government to help in any way, that Government will gladly help." The elections in Southern Ireland were completed on Friday, when 125 Sinn Fein members were returned uncontested. The contested elections in the North will be on May 24, when Sir James Craig's position as Lead, of Ulster will be consolidated. Whan that is done it will be possible for the two Irklh leaders to arrive at agreement, which will be endorsed by the British, bringing peace to Ireland. Conditions in Ireland have been better the past few days and it is hoped that a truce will soon he effected. The situation in Dublin was so much proved on Thursdiay that the curfew was extended from 10 p.m. to 10.30 p.m. Five women will be nominated for the Southern Parliament and two for the Northern Parliament. Mrs. Clarke, widow of one of the signatories of the Republican proclamation during Easter week, 1916, and Mrs. Pearse, mother of Patrick Pearse, who commanded the Dublin Republicans on that occasion, will stand with the Countess Georgina Markievicz for Dublin seats, while Miss Mary Mac-Swdney and Mrs. Katie O'Callaghan, widow of the Mayor of Limerick, will run, respectively, in Cork and Limer- In Ulster Mrs. Chichester, whose husband commanded a battalion of the Ulster Division in the war, will be a candidate for Londonderry, and Alderman Mrs. Mc-Mordie, widow of a former Lord Mayor of Belfast, will make a contest for a Belfast seat. EFFECT OF GERMAN ACTION ON MONEY Demand Sterling Reached the Highest Point Since a Year Ago. A despatch from New York says:-- International money markets, as represented by foreign exchange, were further stimulated on Thursday by Germany's acceptance of the allied reparations ultimatum. Demand sterling, or bills on London, rose to $4, the highest level reached by that remittance since April, 1920, When they made an extreme rise to $4.07. French and Belgian francs at 8% cents showed an overnight gain of about 20 points, and were at maximum levels for any period since the armis- The Italian lire rose 18 points, guilders, or Dutch exchange, gained 8 points, and marks, or German bills, sold at an overnight gain of one-tenth of a cent, rising to 1.70. The greatest gain of any of the minor countries was made by Greece, the drachma scoring an overnight rise of 75 points to 5.80.

Ottawa to Receive New Speaker's Chair A despatch from Ottawa says:-- Friday, May 20, has been fixed as the day for presentation of the Speaker's chair, which is the gift of the United Kingdom branch of the Empire Parliamentary Association. Former Speaker L-owtJher of the British House will make the presentation. Money for "Reds" Barred by Britain A dtespatch from London says:--The British Government is considering the possibility of introducing legislation to prohibit the receipt of foreign money in the United Kingdom intended to promote a revolutionary propaganda. Edward Shortt, Secretary for Home Affairs, made this ment in the House of Commons Thursday, in answer to a question Amnesty Offered to Wrangel's Army in Hiding A despaw-h from Riga says:--The Russian Soviet Government has offered amnesty to all the officers and sol-dUers of the army of General Wrangel, former antJ-Bcl^teviki leader in South Russia, Mho are n:rw hiding in the Crimea mountains, providing they surrender their arms before May 20. University Summer Courses. Oae of the most hopeful signs in Ihe educational world is the increas--ing demand on the part of teachers' in service for summer courses that' I will enable them to improve their j acacemlc and professional training ! This demand seems to be based cn the j feeling that a new era is dawning in education and that those who have ambition for advancement must be prepared to take advantage of the larger opportunities that will be available. Again, progressive teachers must, realize what a crime it is to waste the long two months' vacation "just loafing"; they know that a healthy person does nut require eight weeks cf "rest"; and they are also full; aware that no successful man or woman in any walk of life can afford to cease to be a student. T:> provide facilities for teachers cf this type the University of Toronto conducts, for five weeks in July and \ August, a summer session in arts and pedagogy. The summer course in arts i provides a means of securing the B.A. i degree without attendance at the ! regular university sessions, while the covse in pedagogy luads to the post-gn Bate degrees of B.Paed. and t 11.1 aed. A comprehensive calendar I has been issued, giving full particu-I liars of both of these courses. I offering special facilities to the leakers of Ontario the Provincial Un versify is, through these teachers, her en ting the youth of the whole Province--merely another proof, if such were needed, of the thoroughly der- ocratic character of the Univer--ilt of Toronto.

This strike of natural gas was made at a depth of 130 feet, said to be a wet gas, indicating the probability of oil. Mr. Embree has taken out a lease for the petroleum and gas right, and the striKS, [erect being made so close to the city, is Ngarage equipment, likely to be watched closely. Camrose, Alta.--The success of pioneer breeders in Canada of karakul sheep has resulted in a great popularity for the valuable animal, ana the industry is spreading over the Dominion. T. Karstad, of this town, is the latest addition to the list, having secured a foundation stock of twenty head from Dr. Patrick's Calgary Regina, Sask.--It is reported that the Imperial Oil Co. will erect a $350, 000 plant at their works here to utilize escaping gas in the manufacture of gasoline. Moose Jaw, Sask.--Then creased demand for experienced farm laborers in Southern Saskatchewan. Swift Current reports about 85 required in that locality, whilst several hundred could be placed at Moose Jaw and other points. The average wage being offered by farm board. In the province of Saskatchewan during the past week there were 1,156 farm vacancies registered, and of 1,092 farm hands who applied for work 1,049 were placed. Moose Jaw, Sask.--The Imperial Optical Co., whose head offi< Toronto, has opened a branch factory here where lenses of all descriptions are now being manufactured. Winnipeg, Man.--As the result of a survey conducted in the prairie provinces by the "Grain Trade News," it is stated that the area of land prepared for seeding thi3 spring per cent, greater than in 1920.

Chatham, Ont.--A site of about twe acres has been purchased by the Weaver Garage Manufacturing Co., of Cleveland, on which they propose to plant for the manufacture of SEVEN RESTRICTIONS ON BRITISH EMIGRATION TO CANADA A despatch from London says:-- Not within the past twenty-five years has there been enforced such stringent restriction of emigration from the United Kingdom to Canada as is now being carried out by the Canadian immigration officials here. Instructions have been issued this week to immigration agents throughout Great Britain that applications from artisans and workmen desiring to go to Canada must be definitely rejected; that those from inexperienced men wishing to go on the land, and those from experienced.married agricultural laborers must be postponed until the Spring of 1922, and that the only class whose entry will be considered will be experienced1 unmarried farm workers desiring to go to Ontario, Manitoba or (in a limited number of cases) Quebec. British Cilumbia wishes no immigrants of any kind. The effect of this rigid enforcement of departmental policy will be perceptible in June, for which month the steamship companies have accepted no third-class bookings to Canada, though this month had seen a large exodus, and it had been expected that immigration from Britain to Canada would reach record figures this year. In view of the Dominion's policy, as indicated, it is extremely doubtful how Hon. Mr. Meighen will at the June conference view the proposal on its agenda for joint British and Dominion loans to assist immigration other than that of ex-service men. Canada has so far consistently refused' to pay new citizens to come to bar. Other Dominions have not teen so uncompromising in the past. New Zealand, however, which a few months ago announced that it would assist in the payment of prospective settlers' passages, so as to meet the competition of the shorter voyage to Canada, has now withdrawn its offer, and is permitting no immigration of any, MANY PAPER MILLS IN CANADA CLOSE 15,000 Pulp Workers Strike Because of Wage Reductions.

Union leaders declare that the seven mills forced to close down on Wednesday produce 4,000 tons of newsprint paper daily, or about 60 per cent, of the total output. Newsprint on hand is sufficient for 60 days. A despatch from Montreal says:-- Employees of the Abitibi Pulp & Paper Mills at Iroquois Falls went on strike on Wednesday to enforce a demand for a 10 per cent, increase in wages. Six hundred men were employed at the mills and all left work at the expiration of the old wage agreement. They are members of the International Union for Pulp and Paper Makers. A despatch from Sudbury says:-- Approximately 700 men ceased work Wednesday morning at the Espan-okaj mill of the Spanish Pulp & Paper Co.,j pending, settlement of differences with! the company. A despatch from Saulit Ste. Marie,1 Ont., says:--Twenty-one hundred and' fifty men are out of employment as a result of the closing down of the three pulp and paper mills of the Spanish River Pulp & Paper Co. in the Sault, Espanola and 'Sturgeon Falls. In concert with all the paper mill's throughout Canada and the United States, the mills here will re-; main closed until the settlement re-i gardiing wages is effected. A despatch from Ottawa says:^ The situation at the E. B. Eddy mills, where the employees have been on strike for a week, remains unchanged. The Eddy employees walked out when the management announced a twenty per cent, reduction in wages, effective May 2. About 350 men are affected. St. John's, Nfld.--The nine engaged in this spring's seal hunt hava returned to port with a total catch of slightly less than 100,000 seals.
