THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1921. 3 IRELAND PARLIAMENT TO MEET ON AUGUST SIXTEENTH Greenwood Has Authority to Release All Members of Sinn Fein Assembly Who Are Now in Jail on Receipt of Summons to Attend Meeting. A despatch from Dublin says:--It has been officially announced that the Dail Eireann has been summoned to meet in Dublin, August 16, for thej purpose of reviewing Lloyd Georges offer and deciding upon a reply. The attitude oi Ulster also will be ■considered. The summons will be sent to all j Dail members, including those in jail, j ar.d it is taken fos granted in Dublin i that they will be immediately rekas-| ed, although no formal request for. their freedom will be made. A despatch from London says:--i The British Cabinet has already given I power to Sir Hamar Greenwood,! Chief Secretary foT Ireland, to release Dail Eireann members should it seem] advisable, and it is understood he will! take the receipt in jail of sommcms to attend the Dail Eireann as a request fcr the release of the prisoners. Many are in English jails and cannot reach Ireland before Sunday -or Monday at the earliest. Sensational stories were published in some English papers on Thursday, stating that Ulster had definitely and finally refused to have anything to do with the peace proposals, and insisted upon retaining her present status. These stories have been officially denied. Ulster has made no decision yet, for the reason that no formal conversations have taken place between representatives of the North and the South, but the informal talks are still going on, and it is believed are progressing favorably. Sir James Craig returned to Belfast from London Thursday morning and attended the meeting of the Ulster Cabinet, at which all members were pre-ent. No statement was given, but it is understood it was occupied with routine matters, such as appointments and plans for the session of Parliament, etc. It is expected in Belfast that formal proposals soon will be received from Dublin, and it is likely the framing of these will form part of he work of the coming meeting of the Dail Eireann. Great pressure is being brought on the Be'fast leaders both by the Government in London and Belfast business men foT a settlement--by the Government, because it is anxious for an Irish peace in view of the general international situation, and by the business men because they have been hard hit by the Southern boycott of Belfast traders and industry. HOOVER IN CHARGE OF RUSSIAN RELIEF Large Number of Motor Trucks Required for Remote Districts. A despatch frcm Paris says:--The entire organization for Rrrslan relief is in the hands of Herbert Hoover. Whin Walter L. Brown, European director cf the American relief administration, arrives at Riga from London fcr the purpose cf distributing relief in the famine districts of Rueafc ha will fir.d scores of all classes of Russians and people cf-other nationalities, anxious on one pretext or another to accompany the relief administration's forces into Russia, according to a c.'spatoh from Riga. United States relief headquarters there are being berieged by applicants volunteering to rr ake the trip, scma out cf mere curiosity, some anxious really to be cf assistance and others frank'y frying that they are trying to get into Russia to see what has happened to relatives, friends or their property. Baltic newspapers are printing a nurrber cf rumors regardir.g events in Russia. One is to the effect that Lecn Trctzky, the Bolshevik minister of War, has been named food dictator, and that heavy reinforcements of troops have been rushed into the famine district to quell the starving masses, who are pictured as beating down the guards, invading cities and eating everything they find. AM such rumore are without any sort of confirmation. In Mcscow, according to recent ar- rivals in Riga, there was no indication of famine. Small numbers of refugees had managed to reach that city, but it was said the Government was attempting to direct the masses into the fruitful regions of Siberia and the Ukraine, instead of permitting them to go to the cities. Owing to the fact that many villages where starvation prevails are far from the railroads, one of the principal needs in the relief work will be a large number of motor trucks.

Lord Byng will arrive at Quebec on the Empress of France on the night of August 10. He will"not land on Canadian soil, however, until between 10.30 ar.d 11 o'clock of the morning of August 11.

Parry, in the course of an address on university extension, said: "The old conception that a university is concerned only with the promotion of education and research within its own walls has yielded to the reiterated appeal from numbers of would-be students whose circumstances make at impossible that they could enter the walls of the DROUGHT AND HEAT IN SWITZERLAND THREATENS WATER SUPPLY A despatch frcm Berne says:--The long and continued drought and heat in Switzerland is causing the authorities great anxiety. Already in soma places the water supply is cut off at certain hours, and although the glaciers are melting at a terrific rate, owing to tha scorching sun, and fre-j quently wash away stretches of roads and mountain railway lines, nevertheless, the springs of non-g>'acier streams and lakes are drying up so much that the 'Swis* Government has just appointed a special comoiission | of experts to consider what measures' t now be taken to safeguard the; country's water supply for domestic: | and for electrical power.

FIRST ITALIAN LINE TO CANADA Sailings Diverted from Present New York Service. A despatch from New YoTk says:-Shipping circles here have been i formed that the Navigations Genera "ana Line has directed part of its ships into a new Italian-Canadian service. This is said to be the first Italian line that has been established between Italy and Canada. The reason attributed for the move is that Italian navigation lines between the United States and Italy are having great difficulty in finding business for their s at the present time, due to the enactment of the present United States immigration law. According to information \ other steamship companies are also occupied cn the problem of finding other fie'ds for the surplus Italian population and it la expected that one or two more Italian companies will commence sailing to Canada, diverting their present New York service to that effect.

Without lowering its standards in the least, it has so far re-red the extraneous obstacles that any citizen in any part of the province can obtain an education cf university grade without giving up his daily ployment. This new plan is at present rather hampered for lack of funds but, should the Report of the Royal Commission on University Finances be adopted at the next session of the Ontario Legislature, the Provincial university will be in a position to develop its extension wo>rk so reach all parts of the province with its tutorial classes, its extension lectures, and its university evening classes. The desirability of this democratic development isj -universally admitted. the schedule decided formally accepted by the representa tives of the men, 4,000 of whom art affected, they are to report back to the men at Chippawa and once more return to the commission, this time with a decision of the i acceptance.
