Cost of the Campaign, Toronto, April 20.--Estimates of the cost of the referendum campaign to the "wets" and "drys" vary, but it is believed the liberty league ex- penses will run up to $150,000. It is calcualted that $200,000 was actuai- ly spent on the "dry" campaign. Rev. Ben Spence stated that it would not be possible to figure out tha cost cf the fight. "This was just one battle {of the war on booze," he said. "All that has been spent before thad an influence on the result." All Proposals to Commit- tee Defeated. Toronto, April 20.--The Drury government hoped that. the long- drawn-out debate on the report of the special committee on the O.T.A., in which the dispute over the sort of appeal to be allowed from police magistrates' decisions was the maj- or point at issue, had exhausted the subject they were misjudging the force of the opposition's objection to the proposal. The subject came up in the house again yesterday, waen Hon.

Helsingtors, April 20. -- Soviat | Russian officials are pytting into uf- | fect a decree proposing that the Rus- Siin art treasures, seized from pal- {aces and from private individuals, ! shall be placed on the market and | sold abroad to buy food.

Commons. i | Ottawa, April 20.--Having passed | the bill to ratify the trade agreement between Canada and the West In- {alan Colonies and advanced other | government legislation, the parties in { the commons last night clashed over {the estimates of the Department of | Militia, Several divisions took place [in committee of supply, and a lively | debate took place over the proposed { vote of $1,500,000 to meet the cost |of the annual training of the active | militia &¢ the dominion. Opposition | members attacked the 'tem, denying {the value of militia training, assert- | ing that untrained recruits had prov- ed as useful as soldiers in the great war, as men who had previously been | members of the active militia, and {alleging that those who were anxious | to maintain a volunteer army in Can- jada were animated by a militaristic | spirit, and were endeavoring to in- | culcate that spirit in their fellow co@ntrymen. "There is a 'War Party' in this | country," said Oliver Gould, of As- | siniboia, "if the people were here to- { night and could see who are support- ling these estimates they would know | who belong to the 'War Party.' | Government supporters, recalling the events of the past seven years, { responded with shouts of 'hear, | hear." Mr. Gould said that the sys- tem of military training in schools |and collges was a policy of the "War Party." Brig.<Gen. Griesbach Replies, Brigadier-General Griesbach, of Edmonton, replied warmly in defence of the militia. Hon. Hugh Guthrie, defending his estimates, pointed out that Canada's proposed expenditure for defence, military, naval and air services aid for wireless telegraphs as well, amounted to only $2.15 a head of the population as compared with $6.13 per capita in Australia, $5.82 in New Zealand, $22.36 in Great Britain, and $13.13 in the United States. Further- more, the present year's estimates, having regard to increased costs for tion, were about on a par w voted under Liberal rule wh late Sir Frederick Borden was Min- ister of Militia. : A motion by I.

"It is simply overwhelming," Ger- man embassy officials here said. "The proposition is impossible, It would ruin Germany. Refusal is cer- jtain. The action probably will pre- | vent Germany from making counter i proposals to the latest reparation de- ! mands of the Allies. The ultimatum <reates the gravest situation pos- sible."

It was not revealed in what man- | ner the United States had made known that it would regard hostili- ties with keen displeasure, but it was assumed that representations had been sent to both Panama City and San Jose : The American position is under- stood to be that the United States fs bound by treaty obligations to safe- guard the infegrity of Panama and that any move by Costa Rica would justify drastic action, There is a considerable force of American troops in the regular gar- rison in the Panama canal zone. This is supplmented by the force on the special service squadron now in Central Américan waters, and in ad- dition, the Atlantic fleet is in Cuban waters on winter maneuvers. SIR A.

London, April -20.--+-Steps to bring |into operation the Irish act, provid- |ing for Home Rule in the island, were taken yesterday by the British | government. This law, which was described in the speech from tha {throne as '"'the fruit of thirty years |of ceaseless controversy," was pass- led by parliament on Dec. 21st last, {and received the royal assent a | short time later. | Elections of members of the North- jern and = Southern Irish parlia- | ments will be held on May 3rd, under | present plans.

Ulster was understood to have made ar- rangements for elections, and an- nouncement was made last month the Ulster parliament would open on June 21st, possibly under royal auspices. The Irish act provides for se lection of a senate by the parlia- ment of each section. After this is done, the two houses of each par- llament will elect 20 members of the council of forty which will act as the connecting link between tha two legislative bodies. This coun- cil will, it is hoped, provide a means for bridging of the gap 'between the parliaments and uniting them into one body in future.

Judge Says Modern | Clothes Spell Ruination | For Girlhood. Detroit, Mich., April 20.--Judge Arthur Tuttle of the U.S. district court, an authority on social disease, yesterday declared that the modesty of our country's girlhood is crumbl- ing away because of immodest styles. "American Morals--the future of our race--are speeding toward de- struction, because of a growing de- liquency among the country's girl- hood, tolerated, yes, fostered dy un- sympathetic and careless mothers and fathers," said Judge Tuttle, '"Modern clothes spell ruination for. the young women of today; fashionable immodesty is the great- est menace to our national life; a disappearing institution-----the family fireside--must be reviv.. «0 save the American girl in her ideal form, "As a'nation we are losing our home life, The family fireside is a thing of the past, banished by a diversity of interests. "It is easily accounted for why the divorce courts are working over- time and white slavery flourishes, "I consider our fashionable im- modesty the most sinister influence in all our national life and believe it is pulling many girls from the path of righteousness, "For how is it possible for a woman, child though she may be, not to grow calloused to shame when she endures, day after day, open and suggestive stares at her gossamer- clad legs, bare knees, bare breast and face painted in a manner that even Jezebel would not have dared? And for these things I say mothers are re- sponsible." JAPAN INSISTS ON YAP AWARD Hughes Asserts Action of League Council Does Not Bind This Nation. Washington, April 26.--The Am- erican and Japanese governments have adopted equally firm attitudes with respect to the status of the Pa- cific isk.ad of Yap, The : 21 be put before the Tretorn, wy p ) were made public both in ton and Tokio. They consist of two memoranda and three formal notes. Japan, in its last communication, received here in the closing days of the Wilson administration, insisted that it had been awarded a mandate for the island by the supreme council at Paris on May 7th, 1919, and that it could not agree with the American contention that, irrespective of any award or. mandate, other nations should have.free access to the islands for landing -and operation of cables. In replying to this note, Secretary Hughes on April 6th stated emphatic- ally that the United States could not be bound by any action either of the supreme council or of the league of nations and that as no one had ever been "authorized to surrender or cede" the right of the United States in the island, the American govern- ment could not "recognize the alloca- tion of the islands, or the validity of the mandate to Jdpan." Administration officers believe that the soundness of this position will be conceded by its former associates in the war. . With this principle re- cognized, it is believed the details as to the American rights can be work- ed out without great difficulty, Thus far there has béen. received in Washington no official informa- tion indicating what position Japan will take in its reply to Mr. Hughes' note, New Legislation Introduced Regarding the Grand Trunk Ottawa, April 20.--New legisla- tion respecting the Grand Trunk, was introduced in the commons yes- terday afternoon by the prime minis- ter, who obtained special leave to do so. - He explained that the purpose of the bill was to permit the reconstruction of the board of arbitration, allowing it to carry on under the conditions set forth in the bill.

Toronto, April 20.--Referendum returns from points throughout the province yesterday revealed the gen- eral characteristic of country com- munities voting "dry" majorities and urban centres returning polls in fa- vor of the 'wet' side. All the larger cities as well as Toronto went "wet" --Ottawa, Hamilton, Windsor; Port Arthur, Fort William, Kitchener, Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie--all these gave majorities for "no," and some towns of more than market town im- pertance, such as Welland, Kingston and St. Catharines, showed the same leaning as the more populous centres. A great many country towns of 'size, however, shared the tendency of the rural districts to vote *'dry." London, Chatham, Woodstock, Strat- | ford, Owen Sound, Belleville, Galt, N:agara Falls, Peterboro, St. Thom- as, Guelph, Brantford and Sarnia all gave the "yes" vote in majority, Oxford County Woodstock, April 20.--loxford county gives a majority of about 9,000, in favor of prohibition.

A formal conference with the miners' leaders was not expected an- til Friday, when a general confar- ence of the union's leaders will be held here. but there appeared to be a belief that means might be found to bring the parties to the industrizi conflict together without great delay, A distinctly favorable atmosphere regarding a settlment of thy conflict has developed as a result of an ad- dress made before the house of com- mons, by Lloyd George.
