All the Allied Representatives Have * Confidence in the Future--A Dark | Week For the Turks Alone, | 8an Remo, April 27.--The results | of the Supreme Council's ted-days | meeting are such that-each Govern- | ment taking part considers that its aspirations have been measurably satisfied. The premiers and foreign ministers met in mutual distrust. They part in great personal cordiality and with much more confidence in the future. France also gains in this, for as Paul Hymans, the Belgian foreign minister, remarked yesterday: "French hopes may be reduced, but her realities will be increased," by the fixing of a global sum for Ger- many to pay. M. Jaspar, the Belgian Minister of Reconstruction, says that the Ger- mans will start earnestly to work, because heretofore there has been no inducement for them to pay any part of an unknown and vaguely enor- mous lability, . The word "revision" is wholly | eschewed by the prime ministers in talking of the Treaty of Versailles; the word "interpretation" is coming into use. The Italian premier, Sig- nor Nitti, is mildly content over the council leaving the Adriatic question to a continuance of direct negotia- tions with the Jugo-Slavs. The Belgians are satisfied, how- ever, because they, believe the west- ern block of powers, Great Britain, France and Belgium, remains as solid as ever against Germany. The Bel- glans are for immediate fixing of the amount of Germany's debts to the Allies, Greek Premier Elated, M. Venizelos, the Greek premier, _ 1s elated over the extension of Greek territories by the addition of Thrace and Smyrna, ancient possessions of the Greek race, The attitude of the council was conciliatory toward Russia in in- structing the executive, or so-called permanent committee of the Su- préme Economic Council to nego- tiate with the Soviet representative Krassin for ' commercial arrange-' ments," th The Zionists are happy over Pales-' tine as they wish a national home.' The Turks alone may feel that this has been a dark week for them; yet Cilicia, which it had been France would take, has been left to Tur- key. But the French statesmen de- cided upon taking no further com- mitmepts in the near east, except Syria, and thus save troops, money and worry. The Turks also . still have a chance to receive Erzerum, through the arbitration of President Wilson in the matter of the Armen- ian boundaries, The British prime minister, David Lloyd-Géorge, considers this one of the most successful meetings the Surpeme Council has yet held--one full of promise for the future of Burope apd the restoration of econ- omic peration. he Ao The Aarious delegations left San Ag this morning. TRYING OUT NEW POLICY. Policy of Conciliation to Be Given a Fair Trial London, April 27.--Lloyd-George's heart is set on hig new policy of con- eiliation for Ireland and I learn from ah authoritative source that he will allow nothing to prevemt its. being given a fair trial. He realizes the centre of gravity in the Irish adminis- tration must be converted from mili- ' tary to civil branches. Dublin Castle is to be shorn of iis traditional ter- rors for the Irish people and reduced to merely social importance. The chief political authority is to be vest- ed exclusively in the civil secretary for Ireland, Sir Hamar Greenwood and not shared with the military lord lieutenant as lately. . Lord French, who was to arrive in London, will resign or is to be re- moved within a few days. The new policy of civil administration and Church Drives At Watertown. .

The plans were for the prince to start his rounds of New Zealand during the day. . . It was discovered, says the despatch, that the engine of the train of the governor-general, the Earl of Liverpool, had been tampered with, _ SWEDEN WAS NO MATCH FOR THE FALCONS Representatives of Land Olympic Hockey Hon= ors--S8core 12 to 1. Antwerp, April 27.--The Falcons, of Winnipeg, last night defeated the Swedish Olympic hockey team by a score of 12 to 1. Winnipeg thereforg, winning the Olympic championship. The victory of the Canadian team was fully expected, it being regarded largely as a question of the size- the score the Icelanders would run up against their sturdy but less ex- perienced opponents. The real test of the series came Sunday night, when the Falcons, af- ter a fast game defeated by a score of 2 to 0, the team representing the United States. That was looked upon generally, as' the deciding factor in the championship test. The Swedish team, which won handily from Bel- gium, in the preliminary canter, was composed of star skaters who lacked however, the long and arduous train- ing in the game that would fit them to cope with a first class team. The Swedes played desperately from first to last, working heroically to. score, and despite the fact that they were hopelessly outclassed, their stubborn defensive work kept the tal- ly away below what the balance of play indicated. It is a noteworthy fact, that the result of every contest in the Olym- pic hockey series to date, except last night's, has been a "whitewash" for the losing team. The Canadians, in carrying off the world's champion- ship have figured in three games. RESPONSIBILITY PLACED SQUARELY ON HOLLAND The Ex~Kaiser Is In Serious Danger While Near-the German Border. (Ganadian Press Despatch) ,The Hague, April 87.--Responsi- bility for the contiwu&d residence in Holland of former Emperor Wilhelm was placed squarely and exclusively on the Netherlands government in a note sent by Premier Lloyd George, on March 24th, and published today for the first time. The note points out that the Allies have learned of Utrecht as the ex- Kaiser's definite place of interment any says that Wilhelm, in spite of precautions, is in very serious danger s0 long as he is left within forty kilometres of the German frontier and is the potential centre of reac- tionary propaganda and constant menace to the peace of Europe. STIMULATE INVESTMENT A Single Exchange System For Bri- tish Empire. (Canadian Press Despatch) London, April 27,--In the com- mons last night an under secretary made the important statement in re- gard to a movement towards adop- tion of the single exchange system for the entire British Empire. He said he had personally investigated the matter and hoped it would be possible to secure such a growth of interest' as would lead to practical results. It would stimulate invest- ment and give an impetus to imper- fal trade which the foreign trade would not have, he said. FRENCH LOSS LESS SERIOUS Than at First Expected--Reverse Due to Treachery. (Canadian Press Desvatch) Paris, April 27.--The latest infor- mation received at the foreign office from Asia Minor indicates that the loss to French troops at Urfa, north- west of Mesopotamia, were less seri- ous than at first supposed. A large detachment is thought to have' got back in town, while others escaped in other directions. The official version attributes the French reverse to treachery. Sir William's Car. Ottawa, April 27.--A question in regard to Sir William Mackenzie's private car was answered by the Mi- nister of Railways in reply to Mr, Casgraip. The Minister sthted that Sir William's private car was not! taken over by the Government. He stated further that Sir William holds no office in connection with the Can- adian National Railways and has no connection in any way with the ope- ration or administration of the Can- adian National.

Artificial Limbs Satisfactory. (Canadian Press Despatch) Ottawa, April 27.--The artificial limbs turned out in government fae- world was the statement of Col. Hi- ram Starr, orthepedic specialist to the special committee on pensions this morning. The Canadian artificial leg he thought was giving general satisfaction. It was difficult, how- ever, to give a satisfactory arm, and every country was having difficulty in securing a mechanical hand that would satisfy. Col. Starr said every effort was mare to fit patients who had come here from England and dis- carded the artificial limbs they were allowed to choose in England and adopted the Canadian limb which they found satisfactory. There were very few amputation cases, said Cal. Starr, who could not wear an artifi- cial limb, JUGO-SLAVIA CONFLICTS Between Strikers and Gendarmes Ree sult in Killing. (Canadian Press Despatch) Vienna, April 27.--Ten civilians were killed and twenty-one wounded in conflicts between strikers and gendarmes at Baibach, Jugo-Slavia, according to the Jugo-Slav press bureau. The strikers attempted to hold a prohibited meeting, and the police surrounded and attempted to disarm them. Thereupon, the mes- sage states, the communist leader called 'a genral strike, which took effect immediately. Workers in gas and water services remained at their posts, Pope Attacks Socialists.

Four calves, several pigs, a number of hens and a waggon load of seed grain were also burned. The loss is estimated at $7000, with only a small insurance. The origin is not known. WOMEN'S MEETING. Women of the City of Kingston, do not forget the mass meeting of men and women in the City Hall to-night at 8.15. Be there and bring you friends. Get after the High Cost o Living. Put "pep" into your meeting and into your campaign. Do not stop at the price of potatoes; get after everything you can, and become a terror to the profiteer. The women in other large cities of both Canada and the United States are organizing for the same purpose. Show them that the women of the Limestone City are not sleeping. Do not say that there will be enough without you. If all the women do that there will be no meeting. All must co-operate against this evil, find out the cause, devise a means of stopping it, and then apply the cure at once. 'There must be no weak, half-hearted attempts at a campaign. This must not be a nine days' wonder, but a thorough, systematic war .{ against the prevailing high prices. Last Thursday in Peterborough potatoes sold on the market for from $3.50 to $3.74 a bag. In Kingston they were selling on Saturday at $8 a bag. When 'a difference of $2.5¢ on a bag of potatoes exists in two cit- ies slightly more than one hundred miles "apart. there is something wrong. The farmers claim that they are not to blame. Perhaps they are not, but it is np to the women to find out just who is to blame and then to "camp on the trail" of the guilty parties until conditions im- prove.~ The eyes of multitudes will be on the women of Kingston as a re- sult of this meeting, and the womea of the city should let them see that things are happening and more are & about to happen. a next | Here is another picture fro m the scene of the recent trouble in the Ruhr region of Gers many, where the British, Fren ch, and Belgians helped to maintain order when the Germans attempted an uprising.

NO MORE HUN QUIBBLING TO BE PERMITTED BY THE AL- | LIED COUNCIL. Lloyd George States That Complete Agreement Was Reached on All Questions Regarding Germany. { Paris, April 27.--The council of {premiers yesterday afternoon de- spatched a note to Berlin demanding immediate execution af the Treaty ; of Wersailles, especially those clauses iregarding disarmament, indemnities and coal deliveries, threatening to extend occupation of German terri- tory if the demands were refused, ac- cording to an announcement at the French Foreign Office. Prime Minister Lloyd George, in a statement to the French' press last night, said complete agreement had been reached on questions regarding Germany. ; It was wrong to believe, the Bri- tish leader said, that Great Britain ever excluded the idea of military force to execute the Versailles treaty. At the same time, however, he said, | Germany should not be prevented | from restoring internal order. Lloyd George never thought of | modifying the treaty by attrition, he said, adding that Franco-British un- | ity was essential for the world. | | | Rejects German Request. { Paris, April 27.--A joint Fyench,' Belgian statement British, Italian, | rejects Germany's request that she be allowed to retain an army of 200,000 | instead of 100,000 provided by the treaty of Versailles. The statement says it is necessary to fix the amount of reparation to be | paid by Germany later, and that Ger- | many must carry out the peace | treaty, otherwise the Allies will be reed to use coercive measures. Portinar, writing in the Echo de aris, says the Allied financiers plan | thirty yearly payments of three bil- {lon marks gold as a minimum, to | pe increased according to the state of Germany's economic restoration. HUNDREDS SLAIN IN FATAL RIOTS (Canadian Press Despatch) London, April Bolshevik revolution has broken out in Jugo-Slavia, says the Central News de- spateh from Rome, quoting Trieste advices. Machine guns' have been brought into action in Belgrade, where hundreds are said to have been slain, while fatal riots have occurred at Laibach and Agram. Youth-Giving Pills. London, April 27.-- Youth-giving pills, known as "thyruxine," are on show at the Chemists' Exhibition in London. . The reputed elixir, derived from the glands of sheep, not monkeys, is served up with a coating of sugar. It is claimed the pills rejuvenate old men in a startliig manner, and that undeveloped children thrive on them like withering plants put out im the rain. Pre-War Prices of Wives Doubled. . London, April 27.--Lord Dewar, just returned from travels in Cen- tral Africa, reports that the high cost of living is reflected even in the wife market among African natives. Four spearheads was a good price for a wife in pre-war days, but now eight heads is considered low. In cattle districts a wife now costs eight cattle instead of four. | dam | boine Loyal Orange Lodge 2%08, with | Recent Interviews on German Policy Restoring Confi= - dence In Premier. given out by Premier Lloyd George have had the efféct of rallying to his support a portion of the press that had been frankly puzzled by the vary- ing rumors coming from San Remo. {Thus the Daily Telegraph-said: "We earnestly trust that his words will bring about a large difference in the character of much of the great part of the French press and from a section of our own.' | that the Premier is standing out for the execution of the treaty, dnd has never suggested its revision, also makes the point that he has the full 1support of British opinien in advo- cating "a moderate and well-bal- anced pélicy'" toward Germany.

It says: | "It was Wellington and Castle- reagh, Tories of the Tories, who, af- ter Waterloo resister the dismem- berment of France, Yor which the German powers clamored, and which, for a while, was favored even by the majority of the British Cabinet. who, within two years after Water- loo, pressed for the evacuation France, on the ground that the army of occupation was causing dangerous and purposeless irritation, and a year later carried his point against the opposition of Russia, Prussia and Austria." SONORA ENCIRCLED | WITH RING OF STEEL Central Government Says Only Two Other States Are in Revolt. Mexico City, April 27---The de- velopments of the last two weeks re- rsulting from the Sonora revolution- ary activities show that the central | Government is preparing to encircle the rebellious State with a steel ring, meanwhile crushing sporadic outbreaks in other parts of the Re- public with a strong hand. Aside trom the Sonora State Gov- ernment, only two State Executives have repudiated the present Admin- istration, these being Gen. - Enrique Estrada, in the State of Zacatecas, and Pascual Ortiz Rubio, in State of Michoacan. Both of these Executives, however, have failed to attract any great following and are being pushed by loyal forces.
