It is obvious, however, that every wilful action on the partof the Germans towards delaying a settlement on the terms of the modifications of the peace treaty, to which France gave a reluctant. assent at various times, is to be punished with severity. There is a curious development, according to some of the despatches, to. the effect that Stinnes, the German indus- trial king, obtained `from British bankers a big loan for the purpose ofgbuying, for his numerous industries, the coal that he `could rv`-vet from German collieries, UlIVllI|lIV]IIIvII\ III --..-u.

It. is not con - tended-that agitators and leaders of revol- `ution should escape punishment. But it is argued that `the military order under which Zaghloul was arrested and deported, is against British law`. It is said that, Sir r,.t... Q:mm.

V l I l l"\ IIVJEI Stories that the Prince of Wales was to marry Lady Elizabeth -Bowes-Lyon, have I I x` `been current of late. They have received t ' their quietus in official announcement that ` this lovely and charming lady is to be the I bride of H.R.H. Prince Albert, the Duke , of York, second son of the King. It is usual in such events to say that it is a love match." In this case this trite saying seems to have real foundation. Lady Elizabeth, who is given credit for being more than usually accomplished, is the third and only unmarried daughter of the ` Earl of Strathmore, whose family residence M ~ is Glamis Castle in Scotland. The Duke was ' in the navy during the war `and was on Admiral Jellicoe s agship at the Battle of ` Jutland.` His fiance is twenty-two years i of age and she has four brothers. all of them soldiers. There is a sentimental interest in the marriage of a'prince. In this instance the British empire will be more than usually pleased that the bride is from its own stock. The engagement will be sure to start a series of new rumors regard- ing the Prinee of Wales whose bachelorhood . is probably agitating the royal family and ' the government. On the other "hand his marriage may havegbeen already decided upon- If so the secret of the lady of his choice is being well guarded. One can hardly imagine him being driven to an alliance of which he did not himself ap- prove. The German Mark _ ' If the German mark is worth the paper it is printed on no one knows it. As this was written it was down to about 62,000 to the British pound and about 13,000 to the dollar here. Its normal value in pre- w'ar days was about twenty-four cents. All the -authors in the world could write learned treatises on German finance and not one of them could emphasize `its story in so close a space -as that required to `give the quotations of its standing in the world's money markets. Whatever its fluctuations in the next few months the mark is not going to -bezin to come hack in earnest until the tangle; that the world now watches with puzzled eyes and thoughts, is straightened out. Boom For Welsh Goal Welsh colleries are making an aggressive effort to turn into a peru.r.non-ry the coal trade they did in Canada during the recent troubles caused by the eoal strike in the United States. It is proposed to establish two depots in Eastern Canada, and to make -arrangements for crushing, grading and` storing.

So {far as domestic use is concerned this would lhe a great benefit to a wide `area of_ the country. Next to t-hegdisgcovery of a good grade of anthracite in our country Canada would benefit to a notable extent by the competition the Welsh scheme would afford. Independence of the coal supply of the Unit-` ed States would be of great asist-ance in other matters connected with trade between the two countries. . An Important loisccvery Professor J, C. McLenu-an of the Univer- sity of Toronto, and several able assistants, have succeeded in liquifying helium. This is a rare gas which as` `he resultof Pro- fesor McLennan s work du 'ng the war it was found could be obtaine: in large quan- tities from` the natural gasses in Canada, especially in the district `near Bow Island, some 200 miles southeast of Calgary. Hitherto t-he gas was on'y obtained at great expense, but the establishment of a plant at Calgary, following upon the discov- eries mentioned. brought the `cost down to ten cents per cubic foot. On account of its non-inflammable character, helium is the best known gas for airships and balloons. Liquification of helium is sa d to mean that it `will revolutionize many in- dustrial processes. In this form its ap- plication in the treatment of rubber, steel, _etc., will, it is claimed, lead to many extraordinary results. The same is held to be true respecting` its application to re- frigeration. In fact there is no limitation to the bounds which some clainr for this process. But Professor McLennan and his assis`ants are ver'_v cautious and prefer awaiting results of further experiments now that they have attained a principal one. Previous to this success, helium had been liquified once by a professor in Holland but at a cost of $1.500 per cubic foot. This additional evidence of the progress that Canada is making in the arts and sciences is most gratifying. s e I Wireless Telephony A wireless telephone conversation be- [tween New York and London.

But -conditions are arising every day whichmake it more and more diffi- cult for the government to exercise any restraint in certain of the Ruhr centres now occupiedby the French. The refusal of the German coal barons to help the French in any way in respect to deliveries of fuel, their flight with all their im-por.ant books `and documents, and their flouting of peremptory summonses to return and confer with the French authorities, were all acts of war. The world has got used to the word war" and it does not startle as it once did. But the fact is that a- new war has been in progress since the day when [the French march into the Ruhr began. ` No-Leniency From France That there is to be no leniency on the French side towards the Germans was shown by the measures taken when the lat- ter took what steps they could, short of actual fighting, to make the distribution ,of coal from the Ruhr region a matter of 'diff'~.culty.. Within a few hours the coal, much of which should have been sent to the industrial towns of Germany, was being deflected to France.
