A court martial sitting at Galway sent two members of the Black and Tan forces in Ireland to ten years at penal servitude. They were convicted of raiding a house at Salt Hill and compelling two students to walk barefoot over broken bottles.

The concluding paragraph of this bulletin states that the University of Toronto will endeavor, in the matter of higher education, to meet the needs of any part cf the province so far as its finances and the she of its staff will permit. All of this means that the provincial university is rendering real service to its constituency and so is performing the true function of a modern university.

King George Prays For Irish Peace A despatch from London says: --King George has sent a message to the Archbishop of Canterbury on the Irish situation. The message said: "Let us thank God that some measure of response has been vouchsafed to my appeal to my Irish people. With a full heart let us pray that their reconciliation may be consummated by the deliberations now proceeding, and that they may be united, making a new era tor their native land." The first trip o Warsaw air servie compared with s journey by train. a the new Paris-to-e took ten hours, as ixty hours for the Sinn Fein Must Decide. De Valera has rejected the terms offered by England, and the reply of Lloyd George comes with dramatic quickness. Whether this will bs last word of England depends upon Sinn Fein. There is little of the ultimatum about the Lloyd George reply, but i stands as one of the strong statement: in the exchange between Crown and Sinn Fein. It reiterates the English stand that Ireland cannot be permitted to withdraw from the empire. I meets the Irish claim for independenci head-on. Lloyd George reiterates thi English offer, insists that it does mee Irish demands, warns that the truce may end and reminds De Valera that rejecting the final peace offer that no English Government dare exceed in liberality. The very quickness of the English reply argues that England has made her final concession. No time was taken in conferences and considerations. Sinn Fein and De Valera can hardly fail to note that fact. De Valera has made his restatement of the stand for complete Irish separation. The reply of Lloyd George is a restatement of the higher lights of the English stand and something more. It is aimed not onfy at De Valera and Sinn Fein, but at all Ireland, and at all the empire, at world opinion, and particularly at American opinion. That reminder of his that Ireland ider the dominion status will be freer than the States of the American Union will be impressive in the United States. His quotation from the first inaugural address of Abraham Lincoln, bearing upon the physical nearness and indivisibility of the American North and South, and applying the Lincoln argument to the geographical situation of England and Ireland, appeals to Americans who know anything of the Civil War problems and dangers. The references to the demands and views of the older school of Irish leaders must have weight in an Ireland that is persuaded to peace. As only the Sinn Fein, the Anglophobe and the German elements regard England as a "militarist" nation of the Prussian sort, the English Premier does well to ignore the De Valera insinuations of "militarism" and the implication that England would deal with Ireland b»gs included by the Dominion statistician. The population of Orillia now stands at 13,334, as compared with 6,828 in 1911, when the last Dominion census was taken. The bulletin issued covers 25 cities and towns in eastern and western Canada. Although Orillia shows the largest percentage increase Aug; He added that the Reichsbank had been obliged to take 68,000,000 marks in gold dollars and other foreign monies from its gold reserves, which are now on the way to New York.

Ireland knows better and the world knows better. On the surface the exchange of notes leaves the situation deadlocked as it was a week ago. But so long as the truce holds, so long as there is a suggestion that the last word has not been said, the hope of peace will live in spite of the unbending attitude of England the the hardly weakened stand of Sinn Fein. But rejection and reply, restatement and argument can hardly go on indefinitely. "We cannot prolong a mere exchange of notes," is Lloyd George's reminder. Sinn Fein must make its decision. It has been told over and over again that Ireland can have freedom, but within the Commonwealth. Sinn Fein has come to the crossroads. It must make its decision for war or for peace.
