ENGLAND'S RICHEST BABY OHRISTENED It Is the Infant Daughter of Lord and Lady Louis London, April 22,----The infant pro- far a a daughter of Lady Louis Mountbat- local common; a united front is needed 'o Ottawa, April 22.--There is an in- teresting connection between the Home Bank failure and the recent change made in the regulations of the Post Office Savings Banks. One of the chief demands at Ottawa as a result of the Home Bank failure has been that security should be provid- ed for the savings of small deposi- tors. This demand has been hasad on the complaint that the existinx bank- lug system does not provide fur safe deposits for those ,of small means, and in response, those making the complaint have been asked why they did not use the post office savings banks. The small depositers in re- turn have stated that the post office savings banks were not used beatae of the necessity of giving long notice for withdrawal of savings. The new regulation just announced has, fci- lowing this criticism, provided that a sum up to $25 may be withdrawn from a post office savings bank with- cut notice. It is probable taat a &cod deal may be aeard -f th!s new regulation when the quosiion of se- cfgurity for depositors . comes. before *he banking and commares Commits] tee of the House. which is expected to meet soon after parllamen: re- ten, the richest baby in England, the great 'granddaughter 'of the late Sir Ernest Cassel, was christened in the Chapel Royal in St. James palace to- father to the child jointly with Earl of Brecknook.

Miss Macphail compared the edu- cational system with the "Black Death" or plague of Europe of form- er centuries, sarcastically adding adding that it has the sanction of all orthodox people. She had several suz- gestions to make, the first of these being that people ought to be mada dissatisfied with what they hava. "The thing, we feed most is to rouse 'the people," she said. "The epirit of the schools is wrong. We got into a materialistic age, whereby, in order to be a success, we must grab everything we can from others, The materialistic age in the schools must get out." districts should be of an agriculturai nature," she declared. = : ---------------------- Y 0090000000 0400000 day.

So Poincare is going th wait 'and see what the elections bring forth. If they .leave him solidly in power it seems use-~ less to expect a withdrawal of the French troops from the Ruhr, re- gardless of the wishes of the other countries. This does not mean that no work will be done on the Dawes' plan in the next two weeks. When the Re- parations Commission meets on Wednesday it will have a letter from Poincare to Barthou, suggesting that ithe Commission forthwith undertake the drafting of the official acts to put the Dawes' plan into operation so far as the prerogatives of the Commission go, leaving it to the governments to express their wishes when this work is completed, -- France's Minimum Demand, Jt ds that Poineas § Ro CA the French minimum demand Yor iy parations stood at twenty-six billion gold marks plus what France must pay England and America, and he had thus left the way open for a discussion of a new total for repara- tions in case there intervenes .ar- rangements between France and England on the French debt to Lon- don. Poincare is said to have in- formed Bprthou that the French government is quite ready to discuss an economic evacuation of the Ruhr as laid down by Dawes and his col- leagues, and to have repeated that these steps be not taken until after the experts' plan is put into operas tion by Germany. France and Bel- glum intended to retain their mill- tary occupation, but it is pointed out that the number of the troops in the Ruhr has been reduced by twe- thirds from the number last fall, and that this number may be further cut. It is said that Poincare does mot agree that Germany can be said to have put the experts' plan into oper= ation when the receipts of the eight hundred million mark loan are de- posited in the ew bank to the order of the allies. . It is true that this step may mark in point of time an actual putting into operation of the plén, but Pbin= care insists that the German Reiche- tag must have passed and put imte effect all the laws relating to' care rency, railroads and the industrial mortgage before France and Bel- glum can loosen their hold on the Ruhr. ; MacDonald's stand against agres« + ment on sanctions in case of a Ger- 'man default causes great disappoints ment in France, but jt was fot ene tirely unexpected. There is a French fear that at any time differences should arise between Paris and Lon- don--which are almost inevitable-- Germany would seek to profit .and therefore Paris would prefer a hard and fast prior agreement. However, some Frenchmen point out that there may be some merit in the non- existance of any such bargain, for that would leave France's hands free for any action she might see fit. to take {ndividually, after 'sh aj- certainment 'of voluntary default by the Reich. : 2 X A REVOLT AGAINST HUMILIATING POSITION The British Liberals Object to + Keep in Power a Hostile .
