I NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—Asserting thut President Wilson has sailed for | Europe "In eager pursuit" of the < tangling alliances against which EVi j Washington warned tho nation, Col. rSooorgo Harvey denounced the league of nations plan iu au address tonight at tho '113th annual dinner of the Now England .Society of tho City of Now oYrk. "Would we not belter still tho fer- mont In Mexico and Peru and Chile and Han Domingo and Costa Rlco? Col. ITnrvoy demnnded, "before attempting to foist everlasting peace upon tho Balkans?

"Havo times so changed," ho asked, that we owe It to humanity to toss our cherished republic Into a melting- pot to be mashed Into a pulp of International socialism?" Col. Harvey also opposed tho pro- jgram of "no indemnities" for the Unit- Vd States, asserting that for the Unlt- Ted States to refrain from collecting the nearly $30,000,000,000 the war has cost, would bo tantamount lo a "vol- 'ilntary contribution to the wur fund of Qormany." j after the war supervision over new Issues nnd over tho export of capital, On tho question of state aid to Industry, tho committee approves tho formation of a committee In the cases of hardship arising out of contracts for munition?*.

Tho committee thinks that fears as to tho ability of trade and industry to meet tho financial needs during lho reconstruction period have been exaggerated. In spite of the Increased taxation, a vovy largo number of established trades have been able to accumulate sufficient reserves for tho needs of reconstruction. Big Deposits. Commenting on the pension of credit and paper currency, the committee says that whereas the total deposits at the banks of tho United Kingdom, exclusive of the Hank of England at tho ond of 1913, amounted to £1,070,- 000,000, tho amount of lho deposits now Is nearly £2,000,000,000. The commltteo says it is essential for tho reconstruction of commerce and Industry, to Impose restrictions as soon as posslblo upon tho creation of addltlonnt credit by tho restoration of an effective gold standard. Tho policy of trade organization now In evidence is welcomed by tho committee as furnishing a sound basis for granting credit facilities to industry. Tho cemmittoe also believes that If a portion of the new Issues of stock, which wilt ho necessary for many establishments, wore in thu form of preferred stock, giving a good return In the form of dividends and wero reserved for tho workmen It would assist materially, both financially and In other equally important directions. Regarding state aid, while tho committee dois not recommend tho guaranteeing of banks by the government or tho investment of public money in lonns to persons who have been unable to obtain them from other quarters, It Is considered that cases of hardship may arise and to meet them, tho committee suggests the establishment of a small committee of governmont officials and businessmen to consider the claims and net as n.tribunal. The committee Is also of the opinion that it will be of great assistance to manufacturers If the proportion of the excess profits tnx should bo retained for a period ns a loan on terms likely to secure nn enrly repayment. Imperial Preference. With refereneo to tlie abovo subject, a special committee of the London chamber of commerce, dealing with trade during nnd after the war considers the necessity for imperial preference stronger todny thnn ever, it recommends that tho government bo urged to guarantee by a series of yenrs continuance, by subsidy or otherwise of the now Industries. It recommends nlso that the peace terms should compel Gormany to make the fullest restitution for nil allied tonnage and cargoes sunk by enemy action, such reparation to be made in ships, Westphalia coal or money. The committoo wbuTd compel Germhny ' to furnish France with coal until the deliberately wrecked French mines nro re- toslnbllsl-ed and to compensate the relatives of all seamen and passengers murdered at sea. Tho committee also proposes that as an act of justice to tlu. allies, enemy vessels bo not allowed on the sea until the fullest reparation has been made; that no financially controlled enemy tonnage be allowed under neutral flags, and that mi coaling stations owned, or controlled by subjects of enemy countries, be permitted In Uritish or allied ports or possessions.

Tho same feeling of unc.ertulnnet.s which prevailed for a brief period In mining circles when war was declared must bo expected now at the closo of tho war, Is the opinion of \V. K Zwlckoy who wns in tho city and at the Hume yesterday on his wny to Kaslo after spondlng a few days at Spokane. As soon as tho readjustment period Is pas.sed mining In tho provinco will again be back to a normal level but with brighter prospects than it has had for some time, Mr. Zwlckoy believes. The satne opinion seems to prevail In Spokane where mining men look forward to an Improved situation al laiound Insofar as mining is concerned. dust at the present time tho Cork- IVovincc, of which Sir. Zwickey Is president and manager, is closed down but this action was taken only on account of water troubles. Tho mine was closed on Dec. 1 and will probably remain inactive until about March _E> or April 1 when oporatlons will bo resumed on a larger scalo than before, Mr. Zwlel.ey expects to havo a larger number of men employed this year than ho has for somo time. Trouble lu the flotation plant which has caused considerable concern to the management has now been remedied ami this alone will warrant a larger crew at the Cork-Province. In a recent letter from his son, Mr. Zwiekey learned of tho boy'n fifth promotion since he became attached to the American battleship Michigan. Everett is now an engineer of the first class ranking as a petty officer of the first class. When the armistice was signed, however, tho Kaslo seaman saw no moro of tbe joys of life in the navy and with no further prospects of an encounter with any of the Oerman seamen he put In his application for relief. Ills superior officers could not see it that way and objected. The matter has not yot been settled and Everott is still in the navy. .Ho hopes to bo able to visit Kaslo before fall next year and suggests that possibly he may bo able to get away lor a visit at least during the summer. Mr. Zwickey left for Kaslo on the afternoon boat. EXPLAINS CLEARLY WAR SERVICE GRATUITY tlly Dally News Leasod Wire.)

Tho statement of the war correspondent of tho British Wireless Service at headquarters in France thut at the time tho Gorman delegates came to Murshai Foch asking nn armistice tho marshal knew that comploto vie tory in the field, the entire destruction of the Qeiinun army through surrender, capture and slaughter, was ln his hands, that it was only a matter of n very few dnys till It would be accomplished, may be taken as reliable. A similar statement was repented by Hon. Dr. Cody ot the Ontario government recently. Ho had It at first hand from a British officer. This officer told Dr. Cody that British headquarters, hearing of tlie prospect ot an armistice, telephoned to Marshal Foch ftBking what ho thought of It Ills reply was; "Why an armistice? I have them. I have them." It must havo tnken the very highest degree of chnrnctcr to renounce such a, victory. (True, /.ho victory through tho armistice wns Just ns emphatic, tho defeat ot the enemy just as conclusive, but to hnvo held back from destruction of tho cntlro German army wh-ft not more thnn a week or 10 days would hnvo seen thnt result was a very grent sacrifice. The compensation lay In the fnct thnt to do so saxved the lives of allied soldiers. Symptoms. .U Pontleton one night lnst week a two-act fnrco on the "flu" wns staged by tho hospital staff.

THE FACT THAT REMAINS. a.ftcr all Is snid about our gallant nrmles, snys the Seattle Post-lntelll- gencer, after all our pruiso nnd thanks havo been bestowed on them, the fact still remains thnt it wns llrltlsh nnd nllied sea power that won tlio war. The great, silent navy Hint lurked in tho foggy fustness of the North sea. slowly, silently and surely strangled tho German military mnchlnc to deuth. Just as British naval power undid Napoleon, though lie visibly fell ut Waterloo, so did British naval power, aided by tho navies of France, Italy, the United States nnd Japan, undo the kaiser, though be began visibly to fall on the Marne. Tho sea controls tho land todny as It did a hundred years ago, as It did when Home rose and Carthage fell, and any league of nations Hint proposes to guurunteo the peace of the world must havo ut Its disposal un ndequatu navy to enforce Its Judgments. That is tho dominant fear of Germany when sho voices a demand for "freedom of tho sea;" Germany wants not the mare llberum that has existed lor 200 years, whereby in limes of peaco ships sailed the sens unhampered, but a freedom of tho sens In times of war, so that war may be reduced to a scries of land operations, at which Germany, as the largest ethnic group In Europe; hns every chance to excel.

The Victoria Colonist celebrated Its 60th birthday on Frldny, Dec. 130i. Any newspaper that can bravo all the vicissitudes of ncwnpnportlom for 60 years and llvo to toll It on Frldny, the 13th, has reason to consider Itself fairly woll established. Australia and Now Zealand's plan to train soldiers In manufacturing and agriculture before demobilizing them ' Is a good one. But It must bo remembered that tho littlo continent's position geographically permits* this CHRISTMAS FOR CHILDREN FROM EIGHTY-FIVE DOWN Christmas is coming, Just os it has always come, with criHp, cool air, with red ribbons and holly wreaths, with Christmas bulla nnd Santa Claws '"n evorythin'." Christmas Is coming whether thero Is war or peace. It is coming with its glad tlUhms,, with the remombranco of Its wonderful story, with tho memory of Its Boul-sllrrlng mes use, "Peace on enrth, good will to men." ChrlstmnB Is coming, und there Is no one so small, so mean, so irreligious, so cramped in heart and warped in his Houl thut he will not ro- spond to the Christmas spirit. Human kind has so much good in it, so much of tho divine in heart and soul that thero is no other holiday that It could over lovo more than tho anniversary of tho nativity of the Christ Child. Tho measure of years Is marked from the birth of Christ. The world's growth ia determined by the active acceptance nf tho principles of Christ's teachings. \nd Christmas is the birthday ot Him who showed the way. Of all the holiday.., Christmas should bo tho happiest. Tho very greeting, "A. Merry Christmas," suggests nnd symbolles it. There cannot bo so much sorrow, there cannot be so much pain ♦hat It Is Impossible to feel some great uplifting joy at Chrlstmos-time. And 'localise this Christmas Is different, be causo wc have mado slcrlflcos, bocuuso somo of thoso wo lovo are holding freedom's banners aloft overseas, It is no Reason why wo should not hnvo a merry ChrlBtmas, a Christmas filled with yuletlde cheer, with tho sweet nnd simple and honest happiness for what we have, what we enro to have, and what we have given. Knt aro artificial tokens nor the ostentatious remembrances, but all the helpfulness and sympathy and Joy that you can put into tho world. "Christmas Is for tho children." Whoever said that first uttered a great truth. Christmas is for tbe children. No parent ever felt a child slip off to slnmberlund with the little one cradled In arms but experienced a vague uncertain tugging at the heartstrings. No parent who has ever felt the wonderful greatness of love fer his or her own but will feel a deep, ti sometimes overwhelming sense of gratitude fur that love. Such a parent will feel that Christmas Is for tho children. But tt is for the grown children as well. Tho fathers nnd mothers, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles, grandfather? and grandmothers, and cousins cvet^ up to tho steenth removal. Tf they love children tho older folkB are all children, loo, with more wisdom and less warts, but children Just tho snme Christmas is for tho children—from 85 down. plan. Soldiers whoso homes are nearest will bo demobilized first. Australia has nine to twelve months before Its men will return.

The troo waa planted on the middle of a great round table and towered high above their heads. It was brilliantly lighted by a multitude of little tapers and everywhere sparkled and glittered with bright objects. Thero wero rosy- cheeked dolls hiding behind the green leaves, nnd there were renl watches (with moveable hnnds, nt least, nnd an endless capacity for being wound up), dangling from Innumerable twigs. Thero were Frenoh polished tabloB, chairs, bedsteads, wardrobes, 8-day clocks nnd various othor articles of domestic furniture (wonderfully made In tin nt Wolverhampton),1 perched among the boughs, os If in prepnratlon for somo fairy housekeeping. There woro Jolly, broad-faced little mon, much more agreeable In appearance thnn many real men, nnd no wonder, for their heads took off and showed them to bo full of sugar plums. There were fiddles «nd drums; there were tambourines, books, workboxes, paintboxes, pcepshow boxes, sweetmeat boxes and all kinds of boxes. Thoro were trinkets for the older girls, far brighter than any grownup gold and jewels. There were baskets and pincushions In all dovlces, There were guns, swords and banners, renl fruit, mndo artificially dazzling with gold leaf; Imitation npples, pears anil walnuts, crammed with surprises. In short, ns a pretty child beforo me delightedly whispered to nnother pretty child, her bosom friend, "Thero was everything nnd more."

Constipation, always a handicap to the health and happiness of every woman, becomes doubly dangerous to the woman who is preparing to fulfill her highest duty—maternity. The expectant mother must nourish two. She must be able to get rid of a double waste. Failure to do so poisons herself and tbe child that she is to bring into the world. Constipation means more than mere failure to have a regular thorough bowel evacuation. It means stagnation of waste matter in the bowels, production of irritant and poisonous matter, its absorption into the blood, and distribution all over the body. 11 means aggravation of all these discomforts thnt attend the period of pregnancy, ltcontributes to the tragedlesof child, birth. It prejudices the ability of the mother to nurse her child after it haa been born. And, it is dangerous to employ pills, castor oil, purgative mineral waters, salts, etc. that force tbe bowels to act. But the Nujol Treatnirntfor Constipation is not only harmless but in every way efficient. Nujol helps Nature to re-establish natural, thorough, bowel evacuation, regular hs clockwork.

One of the strongest arguments in support of maintaining a flock of sheep on the farm is that, thoy act as scavengers and are ablo to utilise much of the feed that would otherwise go to waste. Tbls is particularly true in western Canada. With a very few exceptions no attempt is made to gather up tho lot't over of tho harvest Held, in fact, it Is doubtful IT it would be economy to spend the necessary lime to do so, At the same time many dollars aro losi by allowing it lo go to waste. This Is where a Clock of sheep fit in to ttood advantage. This wus brought to our attention In a very convincing way whllo at the Saskutcho- wun university farm this fall. The college ft.rm flock had been givott the run of the stubble fields, and with no other feed whatever they were ln a thriving condition. When they bad cleaned ono field thoy were turned into tho noxt and this would be continued until every particle of food was picked up. U Is a conservative estimate that many thousands of dollars worth of feed is sacrificed eaeh fall, whereas If a small flock of sheep wore kepi on every farm this would not bo the case, ln addition tu the sheep a number of sows were getting a living from tho stable fields at Saskatoon. Hast wlntor tlio brooding ewes ut tills farm wore wintered out In tho open, the only protection beijig a small clump of trees. According to the members of the animal hushandry department tbo flock did ron.nrku.bly well, coming through the winter in a thrifty condition followed by an exceptionally satisfactory lamb erop.—Grain Growers' Guide.

Tho allied victory makes possible a satisfactory fulfilment of a crying need, and a Syria -Mesopotamia railroad is projoetcd, Palestine and Syria together constitute a strip of territory, running roughly north ami south, between Egypt and Asia Minor, and forming the eastern boundary of tho Mediterranean. Mesopotamia, with the l*.lt- pharates and Tigris valleys, Is a strip of land starting from the head of the 1'crsiun Kitlf and running iu a north west direction until It meets the fertile region of northern Syria, near tbe Gulf of Alexundrottn. The Euphrates valley, we are told. Is to be tho granary of the world, and tills makes tho construction of a railway linking lib with the Modilelr ranoan an imperative necessity. Tho difficulties from an engineering point of view tire not great, It is hardly realized that from the const of tho Mediterranean tit tin* mouth of the Orontes, to the River Euphrates, Is a distance of but 130 miles, only 40 tulles of which aro more than 1000 feet abovo sea level. Thus, thero need be no tunnels and no heavy gradients, and once the Euphrates valley Is reached alt Is comparatively easy, for tbe ground Is an flat as tho provorblal pancake. Xow, nssumlng that thero will bo a railway from Antloch or Aloxandrcttn to Mosul or Bagdad, tho distances work out as follows; Aloxandrcttn. to Mosul by proposed nil), 400 miles!; Alexandrotta to Bagdad by proposed rail, f.OO miles. VEHICLE MARKET IS DEVELOPING IN SIAM Owing to tho low-lying and often inundated plains of southern Slam, in whloh most of the riee funning Is dune and in which road making is difficult, and also tlie fact that transportation is easily afforded by the numerous canals which traverse the country In every direction, there is not likely lo be any extended demand for farm wagons or other vchleles for the uso of thb Siamese fanner. It seems, howover, that considerable attention will bo glvon to road making In Slam's principal cities, notably in Bnnghok anil that therefore a line of municipal vehicles will bo needed In tho near future.
