Belgium is taking her own steps to secure from Germany payment for the assassination of an official from the former "country. Berlin. having main~ for satisfaction, railway and other mater- ial was seized. In the interim, Germany has passed through another domestic political `crisis, resulting "in the formation` of a new government`. Several of the outside states do not, however, `acknowledge Berlin au- thority at all, and chaos throughout the country` is increasing. Whether through her own fault or otherwise the condition of `Germany is desperate. It may yet be neces- sary for the Allies to` come together in a joint effort to restore peace within her bord- ers, preliminary to a definite policy on the question of reparations. tained silence toward every Belgian demand` Rum-Running iiito U.S'. i There will be little sympathy wasted overl the seizure outside of the three-mile limit of the American coast of the schooner Tomoka, an acknowledged rum-runner which was flying the British fl-ag. It was necessary for the United States vessels which made the capture to fire upon this schooner `before_ she surrendered. While this andother like incidents may lead to diplomatic -exchanges, because _the agree- ment between Britain and the United States regardingthe war on bootlegging vessels within a twelve-mile limit had .not been , assented to, it is claimed that the Tomoka is really an American-owned vessel falselyi registered under the British "flag. She was ordered seized by the "Department of Justice at Washington, whi had evidently been kept informed of h r movements. It is probable that other American vessels h-ave been resorting to. the `same trick of false registry in order to carry on their trade. In any event, the arrangement with Bri- tain, which it is expected will soon be rati-' tied, and the prospective agreement with Canada" for joint effort to check the interna`- , , tional liquor and drug bootlegging, are not coming too soon- They ought to remove any danger of. the United States being able toscharge either this country or Britain with placing any legal obstacle in the American effort tostop rum-running.

The out- look for industrial development in that part of Ireland would, therefore, seem to be very promising and, ,no doubt, the time will come when the South will also benet from the richness of these coal deposits. It is interesting to note that officials of the Canadian Ministry of Mines, who have- re- cently returned from Europe, have been struck by the growing use of peat for fuel. They state that the system that was used at the plant in Alfred, Ontario, for extracting water from raw peat isinot followed in most European countries,--namely, the air-drying .method. In spite of the abandonment of Government experiments on a large scale in Canada, it would seem that thisecountry should yet get a good deal of fuel from the peat-bogs. - . -_..__- - _..,_.._..., ..-_- I ` Canada -s' growing trade is an indication that the corner of depression has been def- initelyturned. True there are many indus- tries and businesses in which recovery is; very slow. But the trade figures for the `twelve months ending Oct. 31 should put an end to the pessimistic knocking of their own country` that is sometimes indulged in by certain people and publications in the Dominion. The aggregate trade for that period was $1.920,721,554. an increase of $351,320,240 over the period ending with October 31 in 1922. In exports alone the noteworthy that in spite of the tariff the United States was Canada s best customer. At the same time one must not losesight of. the fact that agricultural interests in that country are pressing for an increased tariff against Canadian wheat. It is pro- posed that the thirty cent. duty now.im- posed shall be increased by fifty per cent. One argument beingused is that Canadian 1 wheat can be grown more cheaply than increase was some $180,000,000. It is` wheat in the United States, land values itl 1 is claimed being the decisive factor. . . . . - . - - u vwo \II I uuluvlli Due to a landslide in the neighborhood of Jobeil in Syria, tombs of some of the ancient Pharaohs have been revealed and explora- tions therein are resulting in finds which will throw_ more light on civilization as it existed some eighteen hundred years before Christ. It is undoubtedly the fact that the excavations and explorations of places such as these add much to the knowledge which science is constantly unfolding; Whether it is of any material benefit to mankind in general is a debatable point. Some of these excavations have shown, that the ancients possessed a reasonably fair knowledge of surgery. which was carried out in a rough enough fashion_ and which probably often killed more than it cured. It is asserted that trepanning of the human skull was successfully carried out thousands of years ago. At the same time `close study of well-preserved skeletons lead to the conclu- sion that primitive man suffered from many of the diseases which now affect the race, and thatliving close to nature was not the cure-all that many people would now have_ us believe.

Conservative party had a good start in the British general elections. _'_Thirty-five Conserv ' es were elected by acclamation, with , even Lib- erals, three Laborites and one Nationalist. The latter is the famous Tay Pay 0 Con-` nor,.'who site for the Scotland division of Liverpool. He is an institution, ' both in the Commons and Q a writer; a brainy, clever and most beloved man. The burden of years does not detract from Tay Pay s activities to a very marked extent, and his circle` of friends` and correspondents the world over. steadily enlarges. It is a unique tribute to him that `although in many mat- tersof policy he has long been opposed to 1 1 the majority of his fellow-members of Par- ` Iliament, he has held their. esteem and re- . speet. Prior to the voting, the view gen- erally held in Britain was that the Govern- . ment would have a majority of between ` forty and fifty. It was felt that this would not be sufficient to warrant Premier Bald-V win in continuing or attempting to embody the Protection tariff proposals into law'as a number of his supporters would be Free Traders. It was also felt that the Laborites would suffer losses chiefly to the Liberals.` --- .... --J . vv - - u - s - - - -. uw-qr`--xv Premier Mussolini, of Italy, has been giv- ing France another cause for anxiety with his demand that hiacountry must be con- sulted in all matters affecting the Ruhr. Italy has been almost passive since the F-reiieh decided to substitute action for negotiation" with Germany, `gnd,her new at- titude must be rather surprising to Premier Poincare and his colleagues. If it has the effect of impressing upon the French Gov- ernment the fact that they are not to be the sole. arbiters of -the fate of Germany; i uni" kn nu-nclnni-inn A: ;n1'-v|n-an`-ndnav anal Britain Will Continue to Lead There is one thing that people on this side of thewater may rest assured of, that is `that `Britain will continue to hold her place as a leader in civilization. In spite of the handicaps under which she has labor- ed since the burden of war finance for the Allies was for the most part placed on her shoulders, she has continued to assume new burdens and to meet them with prompti- tude. It "remains to beiseen whether the new Government can `really find a panacea for the unemployment which has -been the greatwt menace to Britain for over two years. It would seem to be obvious that unless there is a recovery in Europe, the solution of this problem must still be delayed. Outside of Germany there are some signs of that, not too many, but what there are give encouragement. The voting of large sums of money for road work and the like can atthe best be only a temporary aid for unemployment in the old land. A real trade. revival is the _best cure. \ -'..-...v.. . .v-..-.. - .-nu-use French determination to construct _a rail- way across the Sahara Desert has been hastened by the belief that Spain and Italy have entered into a defensive alliance, the -basis of which is the maintenance of their I I interests in the Mediterranean. France of ' late has made great efforts to increase her military man power by enrolling her sub- jects in equatorial Africa. It was mainly to facilitatethis project that. the Sahara railway was first mooted. The French are proud of `the colonies in Africa and of the soldiers from those regions. Incidents have occurred of late, in Paris more espe- cially, which emphasize their determination that these men shall not be treated as in- feriors. Fines of American tourists who have insulted some of these men in restaur- ants and--other public places, and warnings that such conduct will bring more severe punishment in future. are indications of the lengths to. which the French are prepared to go to` retain the services of the colored troops. These soldiers are being trained , for.European warfare. and will be used in . large` numbers if France should become again involved. - IAILORESS 'ts.
