The 1 KINGSTON HEADPUARTERS OF MACHINE GUN CORPS This City Will Eventually Have 500 Members of This New Permanent Corps-- The Barriefield Barracks Is to be Used. When interviewed Tuesday morn- 'dng, Major-General V, A. 8. Willlams, 1G.0.C. M.D, No. 3, stated that it was definitely decided on Monday to es- ' tablish the headquarters for the Ma- chine Gun Corps at Kingston. He sald that there was splendid accom- modation at the Barriefield barracks, } and orders were (ssued for preparing several of the buildings to be occu- 'pied by the unit'in readiness at { once. He explained that the corps is | @ permanent force, and that he was | most anxious to secure it for Kings- i ton, as he {s always glad of gn oppor- tunity to serve Kingston's interests, At the present time the unit will number 15 officers and 150 men, but will increase to 500 all ranks, strength authorized as the permanent i establishment. Kingston will thus | be the madhine gun headquarters for the Dominion of Canada. Lieut.-Col. { Walker is the officer commanding the i machine gun headquarters, and he { will remain at militia headquarters, { Ottawa. Lieut-Col. E. W. Sansom { will be in command in Kingston. His : #econd in command has not yet been | chosen, but it is stated that the of- the | ficers and men who will form the headquarters of the unit, many of whom have been tentatively selected. | are the cream of Canada's machine gun corps with the Canadian expedi- | tionary force. All of them had the jexperience of actual war, and are the {finest machine gunners to be obtain- {ed anywhere, and will be able to reu- {der the most valuable service in the {organizing and training of the other | machine gun companies that are to | be raised, ; | Lieut.Col. Walker and Lieut.-Col. | Sansom are both in the city com- | pleting the arrangements for the ac- { commodation 'of the men who will form the first company.' Major- | General Williams accompanied them jon an inspection of the buildings, | {and the western group was seled®ed, {and will be made most comfortable {for occupation. The lignts will be supplied by the City Utilities. Citizens are glad to hear of this achievement ler Kingston, particul- arly at the present time, when it is desired to add to the population and | to the volume of business transacted. An increase of 500 at one time was hardly to be expected in the ordinary course of events. | HOLLAND IS NOT LIKELY T0 SURRENDER THE EX-KAER pry POLICY OF i | ¢ Germany's Chief Representative in Paris Claims | That No Treaties or Laws Provide for the = | Extradition of the Former Emperor. | (Canadian Press Despatch) charges that are not provided for in | > SPECIAL SALE SAY FELT HATS AT $3.50 Collier's Toggery ONTARIO, TUESDAY, JANUARY 20 KINGSTON , 1920, * CURSING DOESNT Above are pictures of some of the Russians who comprise one of London's strangest colonies.

The new policy would be to select the roadways which are to be ini- proved, improve them as speedily as possible, then measure the. amount of. traffic which passes over them, and judge from that whether or not # permanent top is required. In this Connection, his, announcement was that there are already 100 miles in the province which are booked for the permanent top as quickly as the In addition to |: road builders ean put it there. The Minister. however, did not state Just where those 100 miles of roadway are. Apart from reiterating his as- surances that the roads of Ontario will be tmproved greatly under the Jiesent Administration, lon. Mr. iggs did not swerve from his earlier ways will not have the Government's on. The rural roads, he felt, were of just as great importance to the wel- fare of the province as a whole as are the trunk highways. But he did make it plain that a great deal of attention will be paid to the main- tenance of roads, and with that fn view, he stated, he personally would spection for every mile of bord Is supported by the last Medics (Windsor, Ont. distriet), whe of Kolchak's army.

The plain fact was that the world was {short of necessities, as was only na- { tural, after 50,000,000 men had been 'engaged in destruction for five years, with - another 100,000,000 people withdrawn from ordinary occupation to ssupply them with the instruments Of destruction. The inexorable law 1 Of demand and supply must operate. ! Society could not be reconstructed { from without. The work of recon- struction must come from within, and it must be personal and co-op- erate determination to turn aside from the method of living that pre- vailed under inflated but temporary war conditions. } Neither strikes, acts of Parliament inor the overthrow of the present economic system could effect recon- struction, Sir George contended. The only remedy was to work harder and | | produce more, for the world was short of every kind of necessity, and prices could only come down when there were more commodities to go round, SAYS UNITED FARMERS ARE GOING TOO FAR "What They Are Heading For Is Simply Class Legis- lation." Ottawa, Jan. 20--R. C. Henders, was deposed as president of the Grain sion of Parliament, is in Ottawa. Mr. Henders says that at the Provinclal Grain Growers' convention, the week before last, he was denied a hearing, though hé had asked specifically to be given an opportunity to state his position. "I think they are going too far," he said 'in reply to a question as to the development of the farmers' movement. 'What they are heading for is simply class legislation, whica is not in the interest of the country." Mr, Henders thinks that moderate concessions, as distinguibhed from wholesale radical demands, might be secured easily from the Union Gow ernment without attempting to di- vide the country on lines of class legislation. Canada's Only Surplus. Montreal, Jan. 20.---James A. Robb, chief Liberal whip and M.P. for Huntinedon, at a dinner given in kis honor at the Montreal Reform Club, gave it as his opinion that the only thing of which Canadians had « real surplus was political platforms.

The Allies will be "far from disap- pointed" if the Dutch Government refuses their request for extradition of the former kaiser, the Westmin- ster Gazette asserted to-day. The press generally continued sceptical of the chances if the former Emperor of Germany ever will be brought to trial for his war crimes. pointing out there are many chan- nels which may sidetrack the de- mands made to the Supreme Coun- cil's note, delivered to Holland Bat jurday. Summing up liberal opinion the Westminster Gazette declared) "The opinion prevails in well-in- fomed circles here that the Allies will | be far from disappointed if the Dutch | Government pleads { hospitality as an excuse for a polite | negative to the Aled demand." its traditional Holland is told in the Allied note | demanding the extradition of for« | mer Emperor William of Germany that she will "not fulfill her interna- { tional duty" if she refuses to asso- clate herself with the Entente Pow- ers in chastising crimes committed | by Germany during the war.
