If he will realâ€" ize it is written for the consumption of Ireland rather than England and make corresponding allowances, and if the tone does not enrage his folâ€" lowers, cavsing pressure on him to break off the negotiations, hopes for a settloment are still good. De Valera in his reply lays special stress on the exclusion of Uister, and there is no doubt if the Uister quesâ€" tion is settled the rest would be easy.

Bathurst, N.S.â€"The largest hydroâ€" electric plant in the Maritime provâ€" imes has just been completed at the works of the Bathurst Lumber Co. at the Nepisquit Falls in Restigouche County. Work was begun in May, 1819, and the plant has been completed at a cost of $1,750,000. Provision has been made for three generators and two have been installed, but at presâ€" ent only one, with a capacity of 4,500 horseâ€"power, will be used. The Bathâ€" urst Lumber Co. will require about 2,500 h.p. for its own plants; another 1,000 h.p. will be used by the Newâ€" cast‘le and Dominion pulp mills, leavâ€" ing a margin of 1,000 h.p. for cther demands. *Â¥ éAil </~ :’ a '-' (g."’;'\\l) F 3. * ' ’ * ‘\ A h '(.\ t 2 d\_‘.é 1 M * P ȴBl: Education is often compared to a treeâ€"and it is like a tree. The uniâ€" versity constitutes the root and the trunk, the secondary schools are the branches, and the elementary schools, the leaves. Some of the iHls of the tree can be cured by treating the leaves, others by treatment of the branches, but no improvement in size and character can come about except by nourishment of the root and the trunk. Just so national education is improved, diversified, made upâ€"toâ€"date by nourishing the university and keepâ€" ‘ing it at the maximum of efficiency. |The elementary schools, like the l leaves, carry the benefits of education broadcast, ‘but their teachers are trained in the secondary schools. The secondary schools, like the branches, also carry educational advantages in | all directions but their teachers, in turn, are produced by the university. Over the general area of the three provinces a crop quite as good as last year‘s is assured. The grain crop is turning out very well indeed. Many sections are garnâ€" ering bumper crops, particularly the northern parts of the three prairie provinces, with the southern sections more or less uneven. There are areas, however, extending in some cases to the boundary line, where heavy reâ€" turns are being reaped. Conditions are bad in Southern Alberta and Southwestern Manitoba. At the recent Imperial Conference of Teachers, one of the most importâ€" ant educational gatherings ever held in Canada, this statement was made and approved, "It is the university that ultimately determines the charâ€" acter of the education of the country." How does this sound to people who are hesitant about spending money on higher education? Yet it is absoluteâ€" ly true. The teachers at the Imperial Conference were considering how the teaching of history and geography might be improved in the secondary «nd elementary schools and they conâ€" cluded that this improvement could be secured only with the help of the uniâ€" versities.

A desvatch from Winnipes says:â€" Grain shippers are growing uneasy over the enormous movement of United States grain through Eastern Canadian elevators at Atlantic ports says Tae Manitoba Free Press. The newspaper claims to be priv® to information that 2t pre=enrcs what are known as the Bay Port Elevators, name‘ly, McNicoll, Tiffin, Midland and Depot Harbor, with a total capacity of a little over 7,000,000 bushels, have, roughly, only 1,500,000 bushels of space unfilled, and there are United States cargoes waiting to unload toâ€" talling 5,000,000 bushels, and Chicago is pressing for further bookings. Montreal elevators are all full, mainly with United States grain, and there are 3,000 cars on track waiting to unâ€" load, the newspager says. "United States movement through Chicago and across the lakes is said to be keavier than even during the preâ€"war period, anrd as rates via Mocntreal are lower than via Buffalo, Chicago is not vnnaturally using the cheaper route," the newspaper says. A despatch from Montreal says:â€" Unprecedented grain congestion cbâ€" tains in this port, and has existed for the past week or 10 days. Upwards of some 60 ships are waiting their turn in the harbor to take in grain and the Harbor Commissioners eleâ€" vators are working continuously 24 hours a day to meet the situation.

Guiding the Forces of By Jack Rabbit 30 j Even the German statistics, which there is every reason to expect favor German interests, acknowledge a majority of 57 per cent. of Poles in Upper Silesia. Other statistics have been given from time to time, but the correct figure would seem in the neighborhood of 57 to 62 per cent. This Polish populeation is mostly to Commons, is not a Polish province. Nor do the Poles claim it. But the same cannot be said of Upper Silesia, and it is to be feared that in using statistics of "Silesia" when the quesâ€" tion was one of Upper Silesia the British Premier added to the conâ€" fusion of his hearers. According to Jean Debski, leader of the Polish Populist party, the total population of Upper Silesia is apâ€" proximately 2,000,000, of which 62 per cent., Polish statistics say, are Polss. Encyclopacdia Brittanica edition of 1911 states that the Polos to the east of the Oder number more than a milâ€" lion and form the bulk of the populaâ€" tion in that region. Polish figures show that the transâ€"Oder area, about 660 communes, voted to go with Poâ€" land and about 220 favored Gerâ€" many. _ The Poles explain the Gerâ€" Silesia, the area of the recent *‘i‘u’: cite, is merely a portion of Silesie, and to ignore the fact seems deliberâ€" ately misleading.

Shackleton, however, is not picking out his cabin boys hecause they have a pretty taste in ties or can drive a tin Lizzie. These boys are goins on the little ship "The Quest" to fight the ocear znd the ise; to be companioned only by the penguins and the sledgeâ€" dogs; to stand and walk everywhere in the fury of the figreest winds that blow. They must obey orders mutely and keep their tempers under the strain of interminable darkness and inviolable solitudes. _ They must be "In view of this vote," says Mr. Debski, "by the Treaty of Versailles, the Polish part of Upper Silesiaâ€" that is, the southeast section of the countryâ€"should be attached to Poâ€" land, even though the plebiscite gave a German majority for the area (that is, all Upper Silesia) as a whole. Poâ€" lang asks only that the Treaty of NVersailles be followed." In these days of warm disagreeâ€" ments it is well to bear in mind the difference between Silesia and that portion of it known as Upper Silesia and also the difference between the parts of Uppor Silesia. Poland‘s only claim is to a fraction of Upper Silesia, Statistics for the entivre province maâ€" turally differ from those for this single section. And it is this section, and not the whole of Silesia, that is in dispute. open sea in a small boat to the South Georgia islands.
