A despatch from Warsaw says:-- The Soviet committees formed in Pol- ish cities that had been taken by the Reds, and have since been recaptured by the Poles, will 'be dealt with through field court-martials. Several members of these committees have already been shot by 'fining squads following convictions, General Haller, 'commanding 'the Northern Polish army, said he beliey- ed Russia would take the 'offensive again as quickly as she can re-group her armies, "The Reds are bringing up re- serves," he said, "chiefly frém_ the border of Finland, where a substan- tial guard was left folléwing the estalishment of peace. . Further real action by the Reds willbe impossible for months, but indications are that the Soviet is regrouping its armies in the interior of Russia for an offen- sive. The munitions factories in the larger Russian cities are working day and night under the direction of Ger- man foremen. Several German muni- tions experts arrived in Moséow re- cently to speed up production. T be- lieve the Red losses in the recent cam- paign are about 100,000. Advices from the South indicate that the Reds may try to take Lemberg. The efforts to capture that city might be considered more as an attempt to restore a shat- tered morale than as part of a real aggressive movement against the Polish armies."

Passenger trains are running to places east of the city which only a few days ago were in Russian hands. A- despatch from London says:-- The Russian forces at Bialystok and Grodno are resisting the advance of the Polish army, according to official advices received here by the Polish Legation. The outcome of the clash, it was said, cannot yet be determined. | The Polish news of the fighting is confirmed by a Russian communique which says: "Important rear guard actions are in progress toward Bialy- stok and Lomza, In the neighborhood of Lemberg our forces reached Stryz, On thé Crimean front the forces of General Wrangel are being pushed southward," A news agency despatch declares that a portion of the Red troops that had been fighting the Polish at Mlawa have been broken through and are retreating" eastward rapidly. Ossowetz, the fortress northeast of Bialystok, was taken by the Poles Tuesday afternoon, adeording to a communication just issued, There are no details, The communication adds that the Centre army is continuing its progress beyond Ostrolenka. The Polish cavalry on the southern front, after a fight, wiped out the 72nd Bolshevik brigade and made prisoners of many of the men, including the brigade chief of staff. Pena ARMY STATISTICAL WORK CONCLUDED Canadian Expeditionary Force Closes its Glorious Record. A despatch from Ottawa says:--The Canadian Expeditionary Force is no more. The fourteen N.C.O.'s who were em- ployed to conclude the statistical work of the army have just. written "30" records covering every unit and every records covering everyu nit and every man who ever donned the Canadian uniform, ' Just the number of records kept of avery individual man would come as & surprise to even the suldiers whose records they are. The Mil:tia Depart- ment has originals amd duplicates of about twenty-one army forms relating bo everyone who served. Asked what was going to be done withthe thousands of apparently use- less books and army forms, a Militia Department official stated that they would be carefully preserved and lock- ed away.

A despatch from Paris says:--Pre- dictions of experts on the French grain crop this year, based on the first results of the harvest in all parts of France and information from other countries, show that Canada and the United States remain the only salva- tion of France and Europe. The French wheat crop will be one-fourth less than previously estimated and 78,000,000 bushels,: approximately, less than the 1913 crop. The quality of the. grain is below normal, the weight beimg 3 per cent. less than usual. The yield per acre is slightly greater than 1918, but the total aver- age is one-third less. To meet the normal demand of consumption France will have to import 80,000,000 bushels of wheat, The Italian harvest is also disap- pointing and Italy will-have to import virtually the same amount as France. England is hoping to make up the bad crops of Australia and India by the Russian negotiations and purchases in the United States. There is little hope |- of wheat from Argentine, as, due to the local shortage its export is pro- hibited, though if the December crop is good the prohibition may be can- eeled. The French wheat crop figures are: 1918, a yield of 309,000,000 bushels; 1919, 109,000,000; 1920 estimate ,231,- 000,000 bushels. For rye the figures are: 1918, 56,- 000,000 bushels; ~ 1919, 30,000,000 bushels; 1920, estimated, 85,000.000. os ALLIED MUNITIONS BURNED BY GERMANS Communists Destroy $2,000,- 000 Worth of Confiscated Property. A despatch from London says:-- Munitions and hydro-airplanes valued at trearly $2,000,000, which recently were confiscated by the Entente Com- mission jin the Pintsche works on the Spree River, were destroyed Thursday evening by the 3,000 employes of the plant, many of whom are communists, says a Berlin despatch to the London Times. The Reichswehr was summoned out, but proved powerless to act. The Government is sending representa- tives to the scene. SS ia ee Again Fails to Swim English Channel A despatch from Dover, Eng., says:--Another attempt by Henry Sullivan of Lowell, Mass., to swim the English Channel from Dover to Calais, France, has ended in failure. Sullivan started on the swim last night at 8.40 o'clock, and was in the water for 18 hours. Owing to the rough sea he was forced then to abandon his attempt, when only three miles off the French coast. In 1913 Sullivan swam to within six miles of France, starting from Dover.

CANADIAN GRAIN IN LONDON MARKET Demand for Dollar Marks Re- sumption of Open Trading. A despatch from London says:-- Canadian grain is beginning to make its appearance on the London open market for the first time after -sev- eral years during which its sale has been controlled. It is not the actual grain itself--for that is being harv- ested--but the necessary financial preliminaries to its disposal, known as the buying of "forward exchange." According to Charles Gamble, man+ ager of the Lofidon branch of the Bank of Commerce, there is a very brisk demand for Canadian dollars on the part of London brokers, which marks the resumption of open trad- ing following adoptionby the Can- adian Wheat Board. As a result a steady rise in the value of the dollar in sterling may be expected. While the pound is being quoted in London to-day at $4.03, exchange! for futures is already as low here as| $3.96. This demand for dollars comes! from the London grain brokers. The Royal Commission on "wheat supplies, which in past years has made its arrangements with the Can- adian Wheat Board, will now buy through the brokers here who in turn will deal with brokers in Canada. Canadian bankers here expect the Dominion crop will be disposed of at prices at least as good as last year's when wheat was quoted to the Greek Government. at over three dollars, a Utilize Western Coal For Eastern Industries A despatch from Toronto says:-- It is expected that substantial effort will be made to arrange for the im- portation of large quantities of West- ern. Canadian coal for use in mills and plants of Ontario and Quebec firms. Already the Ontario Mining Association has investigated the feas- ibility of using western coal for-min- ing and milling operations; and it. has been found quite suitable. The next step will be its importation in suffi- cient quantities to ensure an adequate supply for eastern industries. The high cost of American steam coal due to freights, exchange and other things is one of the factors mili- tating against its continuous import for use jin Ontario mills. 2, ' Around-the-World Fares Have Doubled in 6 Years A despatch from Vancouver says:-- Steamship companies om the Pacific Coast have raised the first class fare from San Francisco, Seattle and Van- couver to Yokohoma to $300, and no reduction on round-trip tickets. Pre- vious to the war, in 1914, a first-class round-the-world ticket, via Suez and return by the Pacific, or vice verso, could be purchased for $625. At pres- ent it could not be obtained for. less than $1,200. : mad Markets of the World Wholesale Grain.

The deposits of salt recently dis- covered at Malagash, Cumberland county, have been estimated to con- tain at least 500 million toms, The amount to*be spent on the roads of Nova Scotia during the next five years is greater by $4,000,000 than the total sum expended on tree high- ways since Confedera: Of the 69 per cent. of Nova Scotia's area fit for cultivation and graz{ng, only 88 per cent. is occupied by farm. ers. The province has more t one million acres of well watered pastures and its commerc'al fruit belt covers an area of one thousand square miles, Statistics show that during the yewr 1919 there were 26,000 fur skina ehtp- ed out of Nova Scotia, the inajonity veing bear, skunk etd raccoon. ..

"He led his soul, his cause, his clan A little from the ruck of things." Could a higher tribute be paid to man-power than these words of Rud- yard Kipling in ~praise of Joseph Chamberlain ? Till the man comes, an army is but a headless horde; a nation is a mere assembly of states or clans or fac- tions; a business is but an aimless assortment -of purposes and cross- purposes. The co-ordinating hand is needed. There must be some one who sees from top to bottom and from end to end; some one who can plan and imagine, accept and discard, read human nature and choose wisely the subordinate factors. Sometimes the striker, caught up in the hectic hour of communicative impulse, forgets»that the business of which he was a part did not run of itself and did not automatically bring in the money~that he received in his pay envelope. It was a success be- cause a man-higher up, a man making the hard choicés, taking the knocks and facing the responsibilities, framed and followed a wise policy. -Large in- dustrial dealings are forever looking are imperiled by executive decisions. The cheap man in a place he is in- competent to fill may be disastrously expensive, for his plan-is not feasible and the money that he spend's on the scheme is money wasted. In every walk of life or work of human beings people count and per- sonality prevails. It is not necessary that a man should be heard for his much speaking. His silent presence may be most effectual. His written word may reach a vast audience of readers, invisible, afar. But the power of the man is felt in all his acts_and jin-his language, and to see him is to feel that-here is one in whom we can place our trust, for he is fearless and unselfish, as he is great and good. The-Science of Roads. At a road conference in Paris it was decided that the proper spread- ing of tar on macadamized roads is an effective means of preventing dust, The method is largely used in France, About one-third -of~a gallon of tar Is used for each square yard of surfaces. The roads: last longer and the cost of maintenance is reduced; Bs In Canada oil is employed to a con- siderable extent to prevent dust and preserve the surface of roads, The oil is spread from carts during the making of the road to the amount of one or two gallons a square yard. The French-road engineers recom- mend the planting of trees along roadsides as a means of preventing dust. . In France all roads not less than thirty-thrée feet wide are re- quired to have a single line of trees on each side, at distances apart vary- ing from sixteen to thirty-two feet.

Sati is Abolished by Staté ' . iJ -_- . in India. The force of personality still is é superior to the power of machinery;| A despatch from Ketmantlu, inde- it is, in fact, earth's primal energy.| Pendent State of Nepal, India, says that after a fight lasting half a cen- tury a law has at last been passed there abolishing sati, or the aulcide of a widow on hér husband's funeral pyre. Sati is now an offence under the law of Nepal, and inciting to it and abetting in it are punishable of-. fénces, *., : The practice of sati is as old as the Shastras, the sacred writings of the Hindus. Close on three centuries passed in India before attempts by Ak- bar, the famous Mogul Mmperor, re- Hilted in Any etepa effectively limit- ing it. Finally,-in the time" of Lord William Bentintk, nearly half a cen- tury ago, the right of & woman to take her life on her-husband's funeral pyre was limited to wives of certain age. Later this law was amended and sati was forbidden where a wife was about to become a mother or in the event she had minor children. Thus the wall of ancient custom and re- ligious usage-was. broken down, until at Jast the right of a-wife to take her own life at the death 6f her husband is denied. ne The present Prime Minister, Maha- raja.Chandra Shum Shere Jung, ~ -is responsible for the new law.
