The Sinn Feiners will be disap-! pointed if they expect to be allowed to say anything at the peace confer- ence. After refusing to help win the war they cannot reasonably hope to have a part in straighténing out the European tangle, The Canadians are doing splendid work against the Bolsheviki in Si-| beria. It now rests with those at home to see that the Bolshevists in 'Canada get the same kind of treats sand miles. This statement makes ence aircraft capable of making the trip across the Atlantic without any trouble. That the trip will be made this summer is practically eertain, and once the pioneers have shown | the way, it will become a regula- | thing to have airships leave Europe one morning and arrive in Canada the-next. M#uture developments in this line will be watched with great interest by all Canadfans, and it i more than likely that Canadian air men, who have shown such wonder- ful skill in the military side of fly- ing, will play no less important a part in the development of com- mercial ayiation. mr em aepaneese MOTOR LICENSE DUES FOR BET. TER ROADS. The Ontario Motor League has been taking stock of the revenue from motor licenses during the years of the war, in which time 20 active road-building has been done by the province. While road work has been held up, the government's, revenue from automobile license fees has been rapidly accumulating Last year one and a quarter million it quits ment. The enemy is the same in both cases, dollars was paid by motorists in license dunes. In 1917 the revenuc from these was close to a million { dollars, and: in the last three years approximately three million dollars have been contributed by motor- ists. While this money has not been set aside for any particular fund, it is expected that it will be available for road building, and "Three Russian Boshevists attempt-| Will be supplemented by the gov- ed to get into France with one mil-| ernment, To it must be added one _ lion five hundred roubles in their pos- and a half million dollars for the 'session.

Rippling Riymes | LOVING THE GERMANS Inspired by psalms and sermons, and good books on the shelf, I try to love the Germans as I would love myself; but when I've loved the critters for minutes five or ten, I need a course of bitters to tone me up again. It's hard to love the people who trampled Bel- gium down, destroyed the church and steeple, dnd burned the helpless town. It's hard to love thé blight- ers who raise a sickly whine when whipped dy allied fighters, and shooed across the Rhine. And yet I keep on trying to love them more or less; the effort keeps me crying and sweating, I confess; and when I've loved the duffers.a half an hour or 80, no other being suffers the agonies I know. I'm weary and ex- hausted, as though by mortal ills, by doctors I'm ac- costed, who say I'm needing pills, [I feel my doom's been spoken, I'm hobbling on a crutch, I'm weak and bent and broken from loving Huns too much.
