ALLEN NOW PLAYING 'GOD T0 POOLING Australia Wants to Keep Con- trol of Its Own Fi mances. London, Feb, 19.--Interesfing as- pects of the question of the relation of the mother country to the Domin fons are brought out hy cables from Australia and New Zealand appear- ing in the London press Premier Massey, of New Zealand, according to a Wellington cable to the Times repudiates the suggestion recently made in some quarters that each nation within the empire is free to do as it likes. Mr, Massey also denies that the connection of the dominions with the mother country have been in any way weakened. The existence of the empire depends upon a united navy, Mr. Massey adds, and it will be necessary in time for the dominions to assume a share of the burden of the upkeep of the imperial "navy. The premier, however, does not wish to increase the expenditures of New Zealand at the present time. An Australian cable quotes the Melbourne Age as saying that the be- liet which appears to prevail in var- lous political and official quarters in England that Australia is apxious to have a more influential voice in im- perial affairs is due to a mistaken Impression of Australia's attitude. The Melbourne Age objects to the apparent contention of Premier KINGSTON, ONTARIO. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1921.

New York city may be the only community in the state to adopt the light saving programme, Whatever New York determines to do, the greater part of New York will function on standard time. Banks and other financial' institutions, courts and other bodies or institu- tions where legal time is am essential factor will of necessity be governed by the legal time adopted by the state, which will be standard time. Railroads, furthermore, will fol- low their programme of last year of adhering to standard time, WON'T CONTRIBUTE TILL THEY UNITE matum to the Warring Forces at Toronto.

If Rogers is pronounced insane, he will be removed from the penitenti- ary to the criminal insane asylum at Hamilton. There were features in Rogers' conduct since his incarcera- tion at Portsmouth that point strongly to paranoia, and under the cirumstances his true condition should be determined by psychia- trists. Dr. Edward Ryan will, in all probability, be a member of the board. CURE FOR CONSUMPTION. British Government Takes Invention Seriously. London, Feb. 19---*This discovery, if it achieves all that'is hoped for it, might well in our day be an event second in importance only to the great war itself." Sir Kingsley Wood, parliamentary secretary to the min- ister of health, declared to an inter- viewer respecting the Spahlinger cure for consum,lion.

London, Feb. 19.--Great import- ance is being attached to the bye- election in Cardinganshire, Wales, where the Cegalition candidate, Capt. Evans, secretary to the prime minis- ter, 1s being opposed by Liewellyn Williams, Liberal. The canvassing in the final .days is being conducted at white heat. Prominent women are active on both sides. Mrs. Lloyd George has made another motor tour of the rural districts, leaving her car to speak first in Welsh and then in { English to small parties of plough- (men in the fields. Lady Bonham Car: | ter, Mr. Asquith's daughter, is also | active on behalf of the Liberal candi- | date, and she delivered twelve speeches. Lady John Simons, another Liberal worker, spoke at twelve meet- ings in two days. The election has been described with some justice as a battle of the amaszons. The independent Liberals devote their main attacks to the govern ment's Irish policy. The Liberals will probably show considerable strength in the rural districts, but it seems certain that the towns will vote for.the coalition, or rather for upholding the hands of Lloyd George as the greatest Welshman ever born. Wagers of 10 to 1 are being made that the Coalition candidate will poll a majority of 4,000. BRING IT OVER LINE. -- Now Proof in Inspection. Ogdensburg, N.Y., Feb. 19.--That liquor smugglers are utilizing sum- mer cottages along the banks of the St. Lawrence in carrying on their traffic was proved when Charles Ran- dles received a telephone message from a farmer living near his summer home nine miles below the city that smugglers evidently had been using his summer camp as a rendezvous. Earl Randles and Tracy Janes went to the camp and found that the door had been torn from the barn and that the boat in the barn had been used. The hay in the barn was disturbed. Bootleggers Using Summer Camp | URGED FOR EGYPT | British Interests Would be Upheld, Says the Milner Report. London, Feb. 19.--Negotiations with the Egyptian Government for the conclusion of a treaty according self-government to Egypt are strong- ly advised in the long-awaited report by Lord Milner, former colonial sec- retary, on the Egyptian questions, presented to Parliament to-day, The negotiations should be enter- ed upon by the British Government without undue delay, Tord Milner de- clares, Sdn The self-government grant, accord- ing to recommendation of the report, would be accompanied by the neces- sary reservations upholding the 'es- sential British Interests and protect- ing the rights of foreign residents. The report expresses the opinion that it would be a great misfortune if the present opportunity were lost. The British protectorate over Egypt, declared in 1914, has been bitterly resisted for some time past by the Egyptian Nationalists, and numerous disorders' and outrages have been an outgrowth of this situa- tion, The Milner plan seemed to meet with favor at the start, but lat- met with obstacles, and it has been reported that Lord Milner's retire- ment from the Cabinet was largely, if not solely, due to differences with colleagues over the Egyptian policy. rr ------------------ PEP HPP PEFIIOGOIE LJ 4 CAUGHT CARRYING BABY Ed TO CANAL TO PROWN + -- {% Montreal, Feb. 19-- "The child | % kept me awake at nights so I | was taking it to the canal 'to | * drown it," was the explanation | ® given to the police yesterday by |% the man who was yesterday ar- | * rested for carrying a small, {* naked baby in a suitcase along | St. James street.

Toronto, Feb. 19.--Premier Drury in the legislature yesterday introduc- ed his promised bill incorporating the town of Kapuskasing, near the former soldiers settlement colony. The first council is named as follows: Mayor, W. K. Kolb; councillors, W. G. McNaughton, J. A. Stewart, E. W. Hardman, Douglas Stewart, W. W. Mills and C. F. A. Lair.

The Government, as sec- urity for loans to the new 'town, will take its municipal bonds to be issued by the new council. Another 'bill introduced by Hon. F. C. Biggs amends the highways im- provement act by providing among other things, for the construction of provincial highways through cities, towns or villages. The measure pro- vides also that municipal councils may pass by-laws and issue deben- tures to pay the costs of improve- ments where the road is designed as a provincial highway.

She herself was taken pris- oner by the Germans and was sen- tenced to death, but Kinz Alphonso of Spain made a plea in her behalf, and she was reprieved. During an Investigation of espion- age operations at Mons evidence was found, it is stated by newspapers here, that Madame Thulier had bee trayed a number of companions, one of whom was Phillip Banogq, an archi- ; tect, who were executed the day Miss : Cavell faced the German firing squad.
