For the world at large their import- ance will lay in the ability of the chosen government to really govern, The whole situation has been go con- fusing, so marked by rapid changes and seeming contradictions, that one would require many hours of close study of many dspatches and re- ports to underst: .. | it from this dis- tance, If there i, to be stability in Bouthern Ireland it will be because the people are determined to have it rather than the turmoil which has existed for too long. There must also be not only just, but friendly relations with the North and with other parts of the British Empire and the English speaking world in general, Ireland's murder list has reached a total that would be stag- gering could it be compiled for say the last three years, It is asserted that in Belfast alone during the past two years four hundred people have been killed by bombs, or shots and not less than 2,000 wounded. That is a record in which no pride can be aken by anyone. The courts of Paris have decided a remarkable case in which all who read in almost any language will have & more or less sentimental in- terest. It is to the effect that the heirs of one August Maquet have a rightful claim to fifty percent of the royalties on the books of the great [ Alexander Dumas, author of *"Th« Three Musketeers" and other books that are still being printed and read by the million. A committee of three experts will decide the amount o' arrears of such royalties that must be paid as part of the judgment. Maquet was a historian of great tal ent and learning. Proof was given that he gave Dumas the outline of many of his most famous plots with skelton plans of the novels, and all the historical matter. It was the genius of Dumas, however, which gave the stories life as Maquet had no ability whatever in the art of writing conversational matter or in giving life to any of the characters he supplied. Between him and the great novelist with whom he col- 'aborated, there was a close and wbiding bond of sincere friendship The court held, however, that the lifelong disorder of Dumas' affairs was always such that he never paid to Maquet the share of the royalties iue to him. There have been many cases in which corlaborators haw« aot always had their fair share of money and honors, but one does not ~ - -- on Questions and Answers Conducted by the Canadian Forestry Association Forestry. Q. Can you give me some informa. tion as to how many trees are dis- tributed to the prairie farmers each year from the Dominion Government Nursery Station at Indian Head, Bask? A, The average number of appli: cants for young trees from the Indian Head Station of the Dominion Gov- ernment is 8,000 and from three to five million seedlings and clippings are sent out annually to prairie farm- ers, The average number per appli cant was about 800 last year, Q. Is there any service open to the ordinary citizen by which he can pro- mote forest cultivation? A. By all means the foremost ser- vice that the ordinary citizen can do for the forests of Canada is to pre- vent forest fires. As compared with our annual forest fires damage any conceivable governmental effort at restoration by tree planting appears trivial. For example, one forest fire this year started by a cigarette care- lessly thrown away destroyed 25 mil- lion feet of pine in one district. We are destroying our forests at least easily recall a case in which both being dead their heirs fought out the question in the courts. The "Three Musketeers" the most famous to the English speaking world of Dumas' books has aiso made much money as a film play. The story has been the model for many historical romances. All readers have had time to as- simijate the modifications in the Canadian budget proposals, and the new tax on receipts for over ten dol- lars, The amount of this tax Is two cents. It is to come into effect next year. This tax seems to be based on that which has Ing been effective in England on receipts. Politicians may be left to argue over the changes from the tariff amendments origin- ally made by Mr. Fielding. Their im- mediate effect on the political for- tunes of any of the parties which constitute the Canadian Hovse of Commons is doubtful. That the group system now obtaining in the Dominion House was in a great measure responsible seems to be clear. The results of such a system in most countries where it exists is to be found .n the constant compromis.- es on var'o as matters cf policy. Euro- pean counties are used to the con- stant charges in the fortunes of gov- ernments which their group systems seem to br.ng. Here the system is still a novel*y. It may or may not have long lif», but at the least it is an interesting study in political evo- lation | . - - Since November 1920 Britain has four times as fast as Nature at best can Yestore them and if we include forest fire damage we are probably killing off our forests each year ten or fifteen times faster than the natur- al regrowth, As a matter of saving our industries and retaining our for: est inheritance, the business of forest fire prevention outranks every other public concern, Q. How do the forsst resources of Canada compare with those of other parts of the Britisn Empire? A. Canada Is the only part of the British Empire containing a really large stock of coniferous timber, This classification refers to such woods as pine, spruce, fir, hemlock, ete, of the cone-bearing trees,--Australia and New Zealand and South Africa are wood-importing countries, The British Isles themselves contain a smaller proportion of timber growing land than any other part of Europe except Portugal. The pine, spruce and fir forests of this Dominion, therefore, represent the only reliable source of commercial timber within the Em- pire, paid eighty-five million pounds for uncmployment benefit and between now and July 1923 is prepared to pay fifty-three millions more If neces- sary. 'These astounding figures were quoted to a deputation of the unem- ployed by Hon. T. J. MacNamara, Minister of Labor. He also made the statement that at the present time there are 1,444,000 wholly unem- ployed persons in Great Britain and 100,000 on short time. This is 400,- 000 less unemployed and 200,000 Jess short timers than in January. But the situation as shown by these figures is still serious enough. The statistics emphasize, however, the wonderful manner in which Britain is carrying on. To spend such enor- mous amounts in behalf of her own people who are in need, to wipe out some of her national debt, and to make provision for payment of twenty-five million pounds on inter- est due the United States, achievements that show the resources and grit of the nation. . . . To the discussion in the British press as to the reasons for the heat wave of lasi summer and its recur rence this year, a notable contribu- tion has been made by John Harri- son of the Chapham observatory, in a communication to a London paper. He argues that the course of the Gulf Stream has been changed in the last few years by the construction of a railway, seventy miles long, from the coast of Florida to Key West.
