Strong endorsation of the | good roads movement was given | during the day, and at the same time the convention went on record as favoring immigration from the British Isles, the development of an Bir service for commercial and postal services, and the taxstion of public utilities, and pledged. their A Support to a wise, enforcement cof the fore prevention Jaws.

J Nations which have accepted "the treaty will exchange formal ratifications in time for the pact to become effective on that date. M. Pichon's view seems to have prevailed." In this connec~ tion it may be stated that the French Foreign Office was aware of the probability that the Am- erican Senate would not meet again before the first week in December. {CANNOT GIVE CANADA COAL FOR THE PRESENT The Fuel Administration Claims Both Countries Get- ting the Same Treatment. 4 y 'Washington, Nov. 21.---Until the bituminous coal . situation in the United States shows improvement nada, along with this country, must face short rations in coal: For the present, the United States into Canada without restraint when it is moving in the United States un- der the supervisioh of the old war- time fuel administration and under ihe priority lists estublished at that time. There is no disposition on the part of officials here to cut down the Ca- nadian supply any more than is ab- | solutely necessary, but there is a feeling that in the present situation Canada and the United States are facing a problem somewhat similar to those of the war days which they can only meet successfully in com- mon. +s Restriotions will be removed as | quick? as possible, and Government | officials are hopetul that the bitum- inous operators and miners will be able to get together In a few days andthe normal trade northward be 'resumed, A great part of the Canadian coal goes north from the central compe- titive coal fields, comprising a part of western Pennsylvania, the states Of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, and it is between the operators and miners from these fields that the first agree ment, if one finally is reached, will be made. : Information available heres shows that Canada has enough soft coal to run her several weeks more. NUNS' 'ENTHUSIASM AS STRONG AS EVER Londdn, Nov. 21.--General Mae- Brien 'has returned from Mons, with other representatives of the Canadian Corps, he was a guest of the municipality during the armis- tice celebration. He states that the year since the city was freed by the Third Division has brought no abate. ment of the enthusiasm of the people for the Canadians. This is not only proved by the reception extended them, but more so. by the splendid care that has been taken of the graves of the men who fell in the final assault at Mons and surround- ing villages, The morning was given over to a solemn procession: to the cemetery, where an impressive service was con- ducted, while in the afternoon a great parade was held. The flags given by the Canadian corps division were carried, and medals presented. In the evening a hanguet and enter- fainment were given in 'the opera house. Lo nd A splendid impression was made by the Canadian platoon, many of- ficers declaring they never saw a detachment better turned out or one which carried themselves in a smart-- or or more soldierly manner. The civic ofticials of Mons want to make the uffair an unusual celobra- he tion, and are approaching the Gov- y ernment to have a, small detachment E> tain the Entente. of Canadians present yearly to main- KINGSTON, ONTARIO, HAVE NOT SAD IF THEPLL SE Germans Discass Wi Mies the Protocol Giarantesing Armistice Fulfiment.

These vessels would range in size from the lake type of steel steamship te large ten-thousand- freighters.

Sir Henry Pellett, of Toronto, is reported to be interested in the financial end of the plan. If ft should go through, and Canada were able to get the whole order at the price mentioned, this would give the final touch foward making the shipbuilding industry in Canadas permanent. It would also help to give i great deal of employment; and keep the country prosperous through steel plates easier to obtain than at any time during the war, Canada should be able to get the trade.

Ottawa, Nov. 21.--There fs a strong possibility that the nine prov- inces making up the Dominion of Canada may be increased to ten. This is a result of a proposal now being fostered in Northern .Ontarfo that this part' of the provines should break away and form a ne oe. . Ths proposal is a new one. The movement has been brewing for some time but the general dissatis- faction in the northern pat over 'the methods at Toronto cnlminating with the advent of a Farmer Govern- ment, has resurrected the movement, and this time it is going shead with leaps and bounds. : The Council of North Bay and the Board of Trade of that place are how perfecting an orgasization which will take the matteh in hana. They pro- pose to get every municipality in the north behind the scheme and with this end in view are preparing to call a convention at North Bay in the near future.

THINKS US. MAY | COME IN LATER Ganadian Labor Docs Not Fear Value of reaty 'Will Be Lessened. ENTRELY CONTRARY VEW TAKEN TO THAT OF THE OAN- ADIAN EMPLOYERS, " What Tom Moore Has to Say--He Thinks the U.S. Will Eventually be Forced to Adopt Progressiye Mea~ sures. ; Washington, Nov. 21.--Rejection | of the peace treaty by the U. 8B. Senate is widely discussed among delegates to the International Labor Conference. There is general regret that the U. 8. will not, as a result of the Benate's action, be a signatory , {ot conventions adopted by the ¢on- ference. At the same time, there is A general feeling that 'the labor branch of the League of Nations should go ahead with its work irre- spective of what the U. 8. may do. Canadian employers have already ex- pressed their view, that Canada should pot assent to labor conven- tions to which the U. 8. is not pre- pared to assent. Canadian labor takes an entirely contrary view. Tom Moore, president of the Trades 'and Labor Congress, holds that steps taken by the U. 8. should not hinder, the adoption of progrese- ive legislation by" Canada. ' "Even though the U, 8. decides. for the time being not to become a member of the League of Natious," Mr. Moore sald, "I am of the opinion that the U. 8. will eventually be forced by economic conditions to adopt pro- gressive measures similar in their provisions to those determined upon by the labor conference. It Canada does her part along with the Latin- American republics, the workers of the U. 8. will demand the same pro- tection as that secured elsewhere on the American continent. If they do not secure it, industrial disputes in the U. 8. will be inevitable" "KEEP COAL IN ONTARIO, 's Toronto, Nov. 21.--~Determined to otect, by all means within his wer, those Bohauery wh ate on rfority lists in the matter o chi inaciiiam ly prosincial u Adminigtiator 5. 3 qarrng )t took further steps od in order to prevent any coal being shipped out of the province, with the exception of sup- plies en route to Manitoba from the ead of the lakes, Mr. Harrington is-, ued an order restricting the trans- portation companies shipping coal without his permit. y At cértain points in Ontario there are quantities of bituminous coal in storage. It is all urgently needed to meet the pressing demands of public utilities, hospitals and essential in- dustries in this province, and it is because he fears attempts might be made to ship some of it to points out- side Ontario that the fuel adminis- trator issued the order. EXCHANGE MAY. REMAIN At Four Dollars For Many Years to Vancouver, B.C, 'No. 21.--'That, sterling exchange will remain at $4 for many years, and win for Great Britain a tariff wall, is the state: twice ment of Morton #Frewen, the noted | British economist, who arrived in of State. It is practically certain that Dominfon Government will entertain |" Vancouver yesterday. He wil have $4 exchange for five and twenty years," declared Mr. Frewen. "Only by removing all false props from: the fipanecial standing of & country can it. reach a. basis on which to build a solid monetary edi- fice. tinh . "The natural tariff wall raised by cnly thing which will build a industrial life of the ritish Empire and restore it to its re-war position." Fal CANADA BUYS MORE -" LIQUOR THAN BEFORE London, Nov. 81.~--There has "been an astonishing rush for whiskey both by traders and private citomers as a -conse- - 'quence of the withdrawal of re- 'strictions on distribution. Canada was brought into the question by the managing di- rector Of a well-known firm of , distillets, who said it was re, markable that though Canada had largely gone-dry, his firm ~-was shipping more spirits there than in wet times, and resently Canadian agents had requested that stoppers be substituted for oorks, as corkscrews are now difficult to obtain SMUTS APPEALS TO U.S. TO SIGN TREATY Her Work For Humanity So Well Begun. Johannesburg, Union of South Africa, Nov. 21.---Lleut-Gen. Jan Christian Smuts, British member on the 'League of Nations Commission, in a 'message from South Africa to America," appeals to America 'not to blast the hopes of the world" through non-ratification of the treaty covenant by the Senate. Gene- ral Smuts says: { "I am 'told that the léague is in danger in the American Senate. I can scarcely believe it. But if so, may I send a message from South Africa to America. a MAmeriea has proven: true: to the best ideals of free and peaceful gov- (ernment, and can only be true to her- gelf by remaining true to these ideals as embodied in a league for the whole human race. It is In the pow- er of America to lift the heavy weight of despair. which to-day is bearing down Christendom. We all pray her to do soc. We pray her to sign the great covenant and com- plete the work for humanity which she 80 unselfishly set out in the war to do." DEGRAY WAS INJURED. Lost a Portion of Two Fingers in an Accident.
