The exploration of Tuta.nkhamen s gtomb, so far as it has gone has brought `to light many things of untold value to ltlle scholar and scientist, and a wealth of lgold and precious stones `almost incalculable. The inner chamber of the tomb in which the body of the long ago Egyptian king still rests, is not likely to be disturbed for ' some months.

The amendment liwas defeafed. Mr. Law was not enthusiastic] :about Britain staying in Mesopotamia and I lagai-n took occasion to deny that oil dis- {coveries had anything to do with it. Bri- ;ltain s honor was involved in the matter .and if the judgment of the country, at a %later period. was that Mesopotamia should Elie evacuated. it would have to be done iin such a manner as to leave` no stain. ;It is unfortunate that such a discussion ;.should have been held while relations with ;the Turks are in their present dangerous :state. It will encourage them to think ithat Britain needs only to `be dallied with : in order to gixe way out of sheer weariness `l and fear of a` new war. They will find ithemselves, xni.-ttaken should they decide to l I {act on some of the bluffs they have so iaggressively advanced lately. Nor is it iclear that Britain could quit Mesopotamia iwithout losing prestige and sowing seeds of {serious trouble for herself elsewhere. `--~ i Pound Nearing Par United States nancial experts are of opinion that the British pound will reach par in the money markets of that country this year.

Guarding Radio Messages A new radio" service opened bet-ween Berlin and Budapest is distinguished by the fact that other stations cannot pickup the messages if it is desired that they should not be allowed to do so. This practical demonstration of a Siemens invention` solves a problem that. Radio fans the world-over t have often discussed. It brings nearer the day when radio will be as universally used as the telegraph wire and be just as capable of guarding messages en route. The ef- ficacy of the radio for war purposes will also be strongly increased. There were engagements at sea during the war in which wirelws messages from British ships to j others of the same nationality were picked up by German vessels and vice versa. fills-llU\`.l3 |.!|.|UI.IIIII\-VIII I-LIUIC ll 'C LILHIULI 10130 rise regarded relecting only igreat faith in Britain s nancial future, but also as a tribute to the achievements ito hex-'cr'N.it since the Armistice.

Bruce, the new prime min- ister of Australia, has lost little time in declaring that his government will sweep away the last vestiges of war control of commerce and industry. He was as pro- nounced in his decision that Australia must. remain a white man's country as any of his predecessors have been. The country must be populated with the white races, English speaking preferably.` `That is .a point on which Australian opinion has been very firnr for along time. Australia has an immense territory. great acres of which are capable of development. But it is ada mant against the idea of allowing influxes of `Asiatic races, and is very careful as to admissions from Europe. If the cotton growing plans of theAustralians are as suc-A cessful as they give every indication of `being, the question of labor will force the matter of immigration to the fore again in a new angle. The negro and other mem- bers of colored races are more adaptable to the manual labor involved in cotton crops than white people. _ French-U.S. War Brides One of ' theunpleasant aftermaths of the great war --was the position of some two thousand French girls who had married .Ameri'ean aoldiers and sailors, and had been eft behind when their husbands returned to the United States.

'* `the death of Mr. Agnew some years ago A;(Alliston Herald) One_of the m_ost_tra.gic occurrences of a long time in this district was the complete clearing out of the home of the late John` Agnew on the `fourth line of Essa. Since Mrs. Agnew and her son, James, have con- tinued to live on the old homestead, The son was a highly respected. industrious and} progressive `farmer esteemed in town and ' rural distriotgalike. Mrs, Agnew had en- joyed good health up to a short time ago and enjoyed frequent visits from members of her family who never missed an oppor- tunity of cheering their aged mother and ' spending from a day to a week or more with the brother who was successfully cultivating one of the best farms on the Essa Flats. Mrs. Agnew had not been as well as usual for some weeks and her family and friends were afraidvher indisposition wasothe be- ginning of the end. Shortly after his moth- er became ill James Agnew had to take to his bed with what was thought to be an at- tack of flu, but which quickly developed into pneumonia and despite the almost con- stant attendance of -physicians and the very best nursing be rapidly grew worse and suc- cumbed on Monday afternoon of last week. The funeral was set for Wednesday when the Orangemen of Elm Grove lodge were going tosquietly hold a funeral. Wednesday and Thursday were days of a wind and snow and it was Friday before the funeral could be held. By this time Mrs. Agnew had failed greatly and the membersof her succumb any time. Whether or not she knew of the death of her son they were not certain. No one had told her, but -the daughters think she had divined it. Mrs. 'Agnew lingered in a semi-conscious condi- tion till Sunday last when she quietly breathed her last. The funeral was held the following day because sons and daughters who had been waiting on their -mother -were summoned home to be with members. of their own families who were ill. Monday afternoon a service was held in St. Andrew s church, Rev. A. C. McCollum proffering the solace of a christianrhope. It was a de- pressing service, both the aged mother and the son being mentioned in the rector s re- marks. Interment was made in the Union cemetery beside the remains of the son which were interred a few days previous. The_late Mrs. Agnew was 76 years of age and is survived by three sons and three daughters--R. G. Agnew who spends a. couple of days each week in Alliston, J. T, Agnew of .Elmvale, N. B.

A number of them, had -been compelled to go back to their parental homes for support and others had returned `to variousrndustries in order to earn enough `to k ep themselves.- It is said that a very large proportion of these women were ignorant of the addresses of their husbands.` It is probable that similar conditions in regard to soldiers from other countries prevail in`France and the lands of Europe involved in the war. It will take more than a generation to straighten out the entanglements and wrongs left in the trail of war, apart altogether from the question of reparations. Memoirs of Ex-Ministers It was inevitable that questions should be asked in the British House of Commons as to the propriety of former members of the |Cabinet publishing memoirs in which revel- ations are made as to the proceedings at Cabinet meetings. These meetings are kept secret, and critics of the writing ministers argue that members publishing information about them are guilty of breaches of the Privy Council Oat-h_. which all Cabinet ministers must take. Premier Bonar Law when presseddeclared that he would -30 regard it. The questions put to him had relation to the memoirs of Winston Church- ill. though his name was not mentioned. One thing about the Churchill and other revelations is ` that they con- firm reports and rumors that were current during the war. They alsoraise feelings of despair` and anger too, at times. But generally speaking the men who are writ- ing them tell very fascinating stories. An immediate start is to be made with the Indianization. of the Indian army. This must be kept distinct in the minds of read- ers from the British armies serving in the same country. Hitherto Indian regiments proper have all had a certain proportion of white officers. The new plan, which is co- incident with the steps for the measure of legislative home rule, starts with the ap- pointment of Indian officers exclusively to command eight infantry and cavalry regi- ments. Plans are being made to ensure a steady supply of Indian officers for the native corps under the new scheme, and the number of Indian cadets sent annually to Sandhurst, the British military college, will be increased. A number of native mem- bers of the Legislative Assembly expressed appreciation of the step. Others criticized it as too meagre a beginning. In any `event it is an earnest of Britain's desire to live up to the promises made to India. India : Army Dllllul U1 luruuuu, uuu ing of Bounty, Sank. also are the educational is one_by the.
