DIVISION AMONG IRISH LEADERS REGARDING TREATY SIGNED IN LONDON De Vafera and Two of His "M inisters" Are Opposed to the Settlement, While Delegates Who Signed the Pact Are Supporting the New Covenant. A despatch frflm London says: Eamonn de Valera's action in opposing the treaty between Great Britain and Ireland was not entirely unexpected, the conclusion having been drawn be- cause of his silence that the terms of the settlement did not meet with his: wishes, or in his opinion the aspira- tions cf that section of Ireland which he represents. Several meetings of" the Dai! Kir-j e-/:i "cabinet" -.vr-re held in Dublin en Thursday, and while .1 > official statement was given cut, it was early hinted lh.:it a division of views had occurred among the Sinn Fein Min- isters. In his public statement Mv. de Valera makes it known that in his opposition to the settlement he has the support of at least two members of the "cabinet.'' the "Minister of Home Affairs and the Minister of Defence,", Austin Stack and Charles Burgess. On the other hand. Arthur (iriffuh,, founder of the Sinn Fein and Min- ister of Foreign Affa:--"; Michael l'n!-! lin?, the "Fir'ince Minister"; Robert C. Bat -n. "Minister of Economies," and George Gavan Duffy and Eamon J. Duprgan, have already affixed their] sip- r-^res to the treaty as plenipoten- tiaries. The views of other n. embers cf the Cabinet have not been made ! public. Arthur Griffith, head of the Iriuh delegation \vhich negotiated the settle- : nient ct London, has issued the follow- ins; statement: "I have signed the treaty between; Ireland and Great Britain. I believe j this treaty will lay the foundations! of pea?e and friendship between the two nation?. What I have signed I shall stand by, in the belief that the end cf the conflict of centuries is at hard." Mr. de Valera has summoned the Dail Eirear.n to meet next Wednesday morning. It is on that day that the Imperial Parliament will be opened in state for the purpose of having the treaty submitted to it. One development in Irish affairs on| Thursday v-'as the Iib2ration cf many pri?one v 3, including several women from M.:untjoy Prison, undergoing sentences for political offences.

The photograph shows some of them saluting on the arrival of an inspecting officer, Canada From Coast to Coast FOUR POWERS TO ASSURE THE FUTURE PEACE OF THE A despatch from Washington says: _The Japanese tit-legation to the^ Conference on the Limitation of Armament stated early Thursday evening that, so far, no reply had been { received from Tokio regarding Japan's, acceptance of the 5-5-3 capital ship! ratio and the piobicms which are in-i terlocked with it. The reply may come- some time during the night, but, until I it arrives, matters relating to arma-; ment are at a standstill. As a result | of this delay more than the usual am-^ ount of guessing is being one by those) attached to the conference. The cus-j tomary wild rumors are having a merry time. No sooner is one rumor proved false than another rises to take! its place. All day the propagandist,; too, has had his opportunity. Persons in close touch with the British authorities state that as soon, as the Tokio reply is received the big outstanding work of the conference will be concluded. Only a plenary! meeting will be required to provi with its dramatic effect 'before the 1 world. Providing the Tokio reply is what they assume it will be, these authorities say three thinga will re- sult. These thre* thing's have been <iea.lt with in a rather vague way be- fore, but on Thursday were made rea- sonably clear. They are: (1) The naval disarmament will take the form of a treaty between Bri- tain, United States, Japan, France and Italy. (2) An entente will i>e arranged be- tween Britain, United States, Japan and France by an interchange of dip- lomatic notes, and not by treaty. (3) A declaration, perhaps known as the Deciaration of Washington, will be published, setting forth all agree- ments made here for the future of China, and allowing for future meet- ings to carry t!u-s agreements into effect as soon as China shows that she can play her part. The Teaching of Medicine in the Provincial University. Interviewed in reg.ird to the effect upon the teaching of medicine of the generous gifts of Sir Jchn and Lady Eaton and of the Rockefeller Founda- tion, Sir Robert Falconer, President o the University of Toronto, said. "Thece gifts have made possible the j appointment cf physicians and sur-j geone of established reputation who! are to devote almost all their time to j the organization- of medical education! and the administration of the medical departments in the General Hospital. This reorganization so long desired i and previously ?o impossible, has al- ! ready shown its superiority ovi-r tha former system ar.J the change lias j also made possible the segregation, for better treatment and more care- ful observation, of patients suffering; from similar diser.^es. This unifica- tion and co-oi donation of all depart- ments, medicine, surgery, gynae.ology, etc.. has natur.iKy resulted in a more effii-ieri, organization both in the Faculty cf Medicine an.i in the Gen- eral Hospital. "Instead of clinica: teaching being supplanted by laboratory experimen- tation., as was forecast by some who failed to see the advantages of the I new system, th2 amount of time actu- ! ally ipeilt by the student.* in clinical i study hus been greatly in -rc.isfd and! the clinical instruction, v hich for the most part is in the liar is of men whose time is largely devoted to hos- . pital work, U adequately supplement- ed by instruction given by men whose primary interests are those of the, geujral practitioner. Indeed, there is, now in the Faculty of Medicine more j ciir.icaJ lKhin.g than there has ever before bwn in the history of the provincial university. The same lab- j oratories which were in operation i under the old system are now use-! to j supplement clinical teaching asi.l to' make it. in ever' if-spivl in-ro ellYc- ' live. "Without saying that the individual teacher or the practitioner in the hos- pital is better, as such than his pre- dccessor of a generation ago, it is quite within the truth to say that the! general co-opevation, the team work, is siidi under the new system that bet- ter results are secured both for the: patient, in the hospital and for the student under instruction. "In brief, the two magnificent gifts I referred to have mad possible the! inauguration of a highly effective' organization in the Faculty of Medi- cine and the result of this is that' tfeose who are ill are receiving better ! treatment, white at the same time! more thorough instruction is being ; given to the young men and women ! whose duty it will be, as physicians ' and surgeons, to improve the health and save the lives of the sick and I Injured in this province.''

The pelting of silver foxes on Prince Edward Island fox farms is now general. Reports received indicate that last year's out- put has bee.n absorbed by t>e market and prospects are bright for an ex- cellent season.

I AIRCRAFT BOMBS DES- TROY HUGE WHALE Killed by a Machine Gun, But Too Large to be Salvaged For Food. i A despatch from Washington says: To run around in shallow r inside the Atlantic entrance to ( the Panama Canal, to be killed by . machine-gun fire, .slated for the, abattoir but fir.ally towed out to sea and destroyed by bombs dropped i'r .,m aircraft, was the fate of a 125-ton whale. The story is told in the Pan-, ama Canal Record, a prosaic little weekly publication which deals in a routine way with canal matters. The whale made futile efforts to extricate itse'.f but stuck fast with the top of its head and most of its back above water. A group of canal employees : undertook to salvage the animal for, food. A launch mounting a machine- gun was requisitior.ed and after the whale, a female of the species, had been killed, it was towed to a pier in ; order that it might be lifted from the water to a flat car and sent to the : abattoir. A 75-ton railroad crane could n-ot even budge the huge leviathan.; After many unsuccessful attempts the salvage enterprise was abandoned.
