Both sides\nagreed to reveal nothing publicly\nregarding 'the nature of the discussion, and lt iB apparent from\nthe extreme secrecy observed In\nthe government departments that\nLord Curaon is determined nothing\nshall be announced regarding the\ndecisions taken until the conversations are concluded.\nThe Russian delegation was equally\nuncommunicative.\nIt Is understood, however, that\nthe whole subject of RusBo-British\nrelations was reviewed in the light\nOf tlie allegations contained in Great\nBritain's recent ultimatum to Moscow.\n.

The Laborites\nmade evident their fear that during\nthe Whitsuntide recess the government might take some step against\nRussia without pariamentary con\nsent.\nKeplying to the debate, the undersecretary of foreign affairs, Ronald\nMcNeil, contended that the British\nultimatum to Moscow still stood,\nand that all tliat had been done\nwas to give time to Krassin ln\nwhich to communieate with hia gov-\nIernmen.t\n3.

The occupation of the Ruhr,\nhe added, is essentially an operation designed to coerce Germany into\npaying reparations. He 'reiterated\nthat the Ruhr would be gradually\nevacuated in proportion to the payment of German reparations. The\noccupation of tlie left bank of the'\nRhine was considered by the. gov\nernment as sufficient military security.\nAsks for More Credits\nIncidentally, M. Poincare, in reviewing the four months' occupation and asking the commissions to\napprove credits for continuation of\nthe operation, informed the deputies\nthat the receipts from the Ruhr\nsince January 11 had covered the\nstrictly military expenses which the\noccupation entailed. The cost of the\nRuhr troops to the treasury, after\ndeducting the amount which It would\nhave been necessary to provide for\nthese soldiers had they remained in\nFranco, amounted to 60,00 0,000,000\nfrancs, and the expenditure for civilians, 2,650,000 francp.\nThe receipts from customs, licenses, forests and fines amounted\nto 36,680.000 francs, thus creating an\napproximate equilibrium between expenses and receipts.\nTho premier pointed out that effective coal and coke transportation\nout of the Ruhr began only on March\n15 last. The figures furnished by\nthe premier are for the period of\nJanuary 11 to May 1 and do not\ninclude the operating expenses of\nthe railroads and other advances of\na purely operative character, which,\nit is reported, will amount to nearly\n100.000,000 francs.\nReparations or Equivalent Offset\nFrance ig prepared to prolohg the\noccupation as long as needful to\nobtain results. While the operation\nhad not yet proved remunerative, it\nhad at least covered the military\nexpenses and would make coercion\neasier and more efficacious.\nTha premier declared that the\nFrench government was resolved to\nInsist upon final reparations figures\nas fixed by the London accord, and\nthat before lt would agree to a\nreduction of tho German debt an\nequal amount must be eliminated from\nthe Interallied debt as compensation.\nTOLMIE FINDS\nPROGRESSIVES\nNOTJARMFUL\nTheir Amendment to Budget\nNot Damaging to It\nWhen Examined\nCOPPER BOUNTY IS\nVALUABLE FEATURE\nWorld Women Honor\nThis States Suilragist\nDAVID F.

Today the sheep population of Canada\ntotalled only a million and a half.\nCountries which were successfully\ngrowing sheep and combing wool were\npermitted to ship their product into\nCanada duty free, to compete with the\nstruggling Canadian industry. The\nJapanese were invading the Canadian\nmarket, and Australian wool, , which\nwas bOftOSM to the extent of five or\nsix cents a pound, was also a competitor. Dr. Tolmie said he would not\nonly enforce the tariff, but lie would\nalso give a bonus for wool combing.\nEncourage Wool Manufacture!,\nThe former minister of agriculture\nadvocated encouraging the industries\nwhich were engaged in the manufacture Of woollen cloth in Canada. If\nthe manufacturers was able to do.\nbusiness, he would create a steady\ndemand for wool, and Canada's sheep\npopulation would soon increase.\nDr. Tolmie urged the government to\ngive more attention to research work\nunder the Animal Contagious Diseases\nact. In tlie year 19-1-22, compensation for tubercular cattle killed\namounted to $639,000. In the following year, this had grown to nearly a\nmillion. While these large sums were\nbeing paid, only $20,000 a year had\nbeen spent in research work.\nRANEY NON-COMMITTAL\nAS TO HIS FUTURE\nWill Give His Answer to Kli Constituent* at Farmers Convention\nTomorrow.\nTORONTO.

The farmers of\nthe province had been under severe\nhandicaps for a long time and had\nfelt that they were not getting their\njust dues at Victoria.\nIt had been felt thero were among\nthe farmers,, men who were quite\ncapable of taking a larger share in\nthe problems of good government of\nBritish Columbia.\nConsequently a committee of 15\nhad been chosen to investigate the\nmatter. This comniltteo had been\nstruck* with three facts\u2014that a large\nsection of the public had fallen Into\na rut where It would take no re\nsponsibility in connection with good\ngovernment; that many were indifferent, and that the financial situa*\ntion of the province was alarming.\nPlatform Drafted\nTlie last named Va\u00ab tho gre'atest\nproblem at the present time, and\nconsequently the committee instead\nof deciding upon forming a farm\nNEW GRAND \u2014 D.

At Vernon a platform upon which\nall agreed had been drafted. It was\nimpossible to select permanent officers so a temporary committee had\n\u25a0been appointed and that was the\ncommittee which was now approaching the people asking If they really\ndesired good government on business\nlines.\nThe organization had been named\nthe provincial party to avoid conflict\nwith federal parties. Thus a man\ncould be a Liberal or Conservative\nIn federal politics and a Provincial\nparty member in B. C.\nAll In thia province,\" stated Mr.\nStewart, \"seem agreed that some\nkind of house-cleaning is necessary.\nAnd because we say so the premier\ncalls us 'The Purity League.' Well,\nthat's not a bad name\" It certainly\ndistinguishes us from the other two\nparties.\"\nContinuing, the speaker declared\nthe sending of independents to Vic*\ntoria in the hope of changing methods there, was useless. An independent 'found himself \"all dressed, up\nand itowhm fro* go.\" * '*\nReform in Parties\nAnother method that had been suggested to secure a change was for\nreform within the other two parties..\nWell, we had a sample of that at\nthe last Conservative convention in\nVancouver. Delegates went there\nhungry for reform. The first thing\nthat was to be done was to cut off\nthe head of Mr. Bowser, the Conservative leader. But the delegates\nsoon found that they were up\nagainst a machine and Mr. Bowser\nIs still there today. And with the\nLi-berals it would, be just the same\nsave that being in power they would\nhave a little more oil for the\nmachine,\"\nThus, said Mr. Stewart, the only\ncourse open to the committee had\nbeen that which was now being\ntried\u2014to awakwi the public . conscience\u2014to stir up the people.\nThe province was groaning under\nmachine politics and patronage. In\n1916 Premier Oliver said that he did\nnot think anything more immoral\ncould be Imagined -than that a member should sit in the house and at\nthe same time be a member of a\nlegal firm doing business with the\ngovernment.\nYet today the finance minister,\nHon. John Hart, was selling bonds\nof the province to his own firm,\nGillespie, Hart & Todd, Ltd., and had\ngiven them more than -$3,000,000 of\nprovincial insurance.\nConcluding, Mr.' Stewart asked\nwhat was to be done. What was the\nuse of just putting Oliver out In\norder to put Bowser in? So the\nProvincial party had decided to try\nto destroy both political parties.\nA Day on the P. G. E.\nF. J. Dorsey, of Vancouver, a railwayman of long service, dealt critically with the P. G. E. railway. The\npremier, he stated, when he had\ntaken over this railway, had gathered\n\u2022a lawyer, an insurance man, and Mr.\nBuckworth, a real estate man who\nused to-livo down in this section of\nthe country,\" as his assistants.\nAn Investigation of the railway reveals H running one train a week.\nThree locomotlvea had been purchased\nthree years ago\u2014utterly unsuitable\nfor the line. So iblg were they that\nfirst of all they had to bo, taken\nte\u00bb9\u2014*Mie nflaop* andr altered. >\u2022 After\nevery few trips now they had to be\nrepaired. Ou the train was a ticket\nagent who sold tickets so that the\nconductor could come around and\ntake them up. On a recent trip the\ntrain had had nine train men and\nfour passengers.\nTurned Down Report\nAt Squamlsh there was a chief\ntrain despatch er-\u2014ta run one train\na week. At Squamlsh there was a\nstaff of elxty men all last winter.\nTen would have been plenty.\nWhen the premier found that the\nline was a white elephant he appointed a commission of three rall-\nwaymen. One recommended scrapping k; another said part should go\nand an effort he made to save the\nrest of it; the third saw no hope of\ndeveloping the country adjacent to\nthe line pay.\nAnd then the premier said that\nthey did not know what they were\ntalking about and decided to go on\nwith the white elephant as previously. And the old way meant that\nlast year there was a deficit on the\nrailway of $571,046.\nRevolt Against Taxation\nThat he did not consider this\nmovement a political affair, was the\ndeclaration of J. Nixon of Vancouver,\nwho stated that he had always been\na Labor man. He had voted for one\nparty and then Tor another, and then\nhad cast his 'ballots for Independents. And now he was ln this movement which was a revolt against the\nburden of taxation.\n'Mr. Nixon contended, that there was\nno reason at all why taxation could\nnot be reduced.\nReady to Quit Then .\nGeneral1 McRae, In opening, stated\nthat, outside uf Vancouver, Nelson\nbad been looked upon as one of\nthe most important centers, politically, in the province. The talk\nof the committee he represented, he\nstated, was to secure a representative convention. And, he added, he\nwould be pleased If his duties would\nend there.\nOutlining the alms of the Provincial party, he stated that one of\nthe things decided upon was that\nthe cabinet should be composed of\nmen chosen for their qualifications\nrather than for geographical or other\nreasons. He had the utmost respect\nfor the medical profession, but, at\nthe present time, no less than four\nmembers of the cabinet were doctors. Waa it any wonder that the\nprincipal problem In the province\nwas not financial?\nThe finances of the province were\nextensively reviewed from a government blue book. In five years,\nsaid General McRae, the government\nhad gone behind $23,880,000.\nIncrease in Debt\nThe province had a debt of 166,-\n000,000. While the population in\n10 years had increased 33'^ per\ncent, the debt had Increased 300\nper cent. There was a tax of $43\nper capita annually, or $216 for\neach family of five. And, while\nsome might not realize this, If\nthey did not get it in a tax slip\nthey got lt In the high cost ol\nliving.\nThe premier recently declared that\nhe was collecting $18,000,000 where\nhis predecessors only collected less\nthan $8,000,000.\n\u2022 \"Just think of that,\" urged General\nMeltae. \"What do you think of five\nyears more pf Mr. Oliver in that\nframe of mind?\"\n\"These figures show,\" said the\nspeaker, \"how far we have drifted\naway Trom all ideas of reasonable\ntaxation. I believe cIobc application\nof business principles to government would make a big reduction\nIn this. One thing that the government seems to be economizing\non is agriculture.\nSoldiar* Quit 'Farm\n\"\"That perhaps explained somewhat\nthe unfortunate conditions In which\nthe farmers found themselves. The\nsoldiers' settlement board scheme, for\ninstance, had proven unfortunate.\nThese soldiers were loaded up with\n.property at about twice what it\nwas worth. The result was that\nhalf of them had quit, and the\nother half would likely go, too,\nunless something were done to readjust prices for them,\" continued\nGeneral McRae.\nCiting instances of alleged government extravagance. General McRae stated that a court house for\nPrince Rupert, with a population of\nabout 6000, had cost $'300,000. The\nOliver development scheme would\ncoBt more than $3,000',000 although\nthe estimate had been $835,000. Tht\ngovernment, too, was using the undesirable rjost-plus-percentage system. In one case, a contractoi\nbuilt a flaumo, which collapsed.\nAnd, when he rebuilt it, he charged\n$7000 for replacing his own defective work,\nChargei Patronage\nIn the university construction job,\nthe minister o( public works had\npicked out a good Liberal and\ngiven him the contract. The minister hud also declared that the\nsupplies for the job would be secured through a government purchasing agent, yet patronage lists were\nbeing made out at Victoria for the\nmaterials.\nReferring to the Pacific Great\nEastern railway, General McRae\nstated that the Provincial party\npledged itself to have a royal commission decide what was best to do.\nIt was interesting'\" to note, he\nstated, that the premier had declared that the government had had\nto take the road over because\nthe Vancouver board of trade had\nInsisted upon it. Whether or not\nthat was true or not was a question\nbut, if It was, did not the\npremier represent all the peclple of\nthe province?\nP. G. E. Settlement\nA commission had found, after the\nroad was taken over, that more than\n$5,000,000 had been ^legally paid to\nthe contractors, a .considerable portion of which had gone to the Conservative campaign fund of 1916.\nThis commission had recommended\nthat a higher tribunal go on with\nthe matter.\nBut, instead, Premier Oliver negotiated with the contractors and,\nas a result, the latter had got\nout of having received $5,000,000\nillegally by paying merely $500,000.\n\"And Mr, Bowser's opinion,\" asserted General McRae, \"was expressed not so long ago. He said\nthat Oliver blamed hiin for the\nmoney sunk in the Pacific Great\nEastern railway, but that he had\nnot advised him to settle with\nFoley, Martin & Stewart for the\nBimple reason that the Conservative movement had had a perfectly\ngood guarantee, and that guarantee\nMr. -Oliver had cancelled.\n\"The only thing wrong with this\ndeclaration by Mr. Bowser,\" declared\nthe Provincial party leader, \"is\nthat Mr. Bowser Is five years too\nlate.\"\nA Remarkable Letter\nGeneral McRae then read what he\ndeclared to be a famous letter\nwritten by Mr. Bowser to Premier\nOliver a month before the settlement with Foley, Welsh & Stewart\nhad been made. In ft the Conservative leader had stated that, as\nfar as he was concerned, he was\nwilling to agree not to oppose or\nsupport the proposed settlement, but\nto take a passive Btand.\nThe Conservative leader had stated\nthat his object In writing the letter\nwas to take the matter out of\npolitics. \"I say,\" declared the general, \"that this Is the most remarkable document ever issued by\nany leader of an opposition. I say\nthis is the greatest betrayal of the\nrights of the people that has ever\noccurred In any province. If, as\nMr. Bowser says, the guarantee was\nperfectly good, why did he let this\nsettlement go through? He was your\nrepresentative. Why was he silent?\nThere Is no question. That settlement was made in colusion . between 'Liberals and Conservatives to\ncover up what they did not desire\nto be known.\" .\nIndustrial Conditions\nTurning to what he declared was\nthe constructive side, the speaker\nsaid that Immigration could only\nbe built upon successful farming.\nThe timber industry was showing\nmuch hope through the growth of\nthe Pacific ports, and the coast\nmills were busy. Mining was being\ncrushed by too-heavy taxation.\nDevelopment of the timber and\n,mine resources would give employment, increase population and the\n(Increase would help share the burden of the debt. IBut nothing\nshort of cutting down expenditures\nwould suffice. Aijd the two old\nparties could Dot now get down to\neconomizing.

Greece\nclaims a similar sum for damages\nwrought to Greeks when tho Greek\narmy fle4 before Mustapha Kemal.\nIt Is a pretty problem.\nWhen the great war ended, Greece\nlaid claim to a large portion dT\nTurkish territory in Asia Minor,\ncontending the allies had promised\nIt as a reward for Greek aid In\nthe war, and, perhaps, as punIsh-\nment for Turkish assistance to Germany. Italy also had claims, at\nleast to the extent of preferring\nthat Greece should not establish Itself too strongly In a rich trading\nterritory, and when the Greek army\nmarched to take the territory demanded, allied moral support was\nnot enthusiastic. The Turkish troopB\ndestroyed everything in their path,\nIncluding the property of the Greeks\nwho had been established there prior\n,, to the war.\nNow Greece wants to be paid for\nthis damage and Turkey claims it\nwould never have occurred If the\nGreek army had stayed at home instead of 'invading Turkey.\nGreece's case for reparations seems\nto depend upon the merits of Its\ncase for control of the disputed territory. If its claim wert good then\nIt has a right to reparations. But\nft essayed to settle the issue by\nforce of arms and lost. Naturally,\nthe Turks declare that their victory settled the reparations question.\nlogically, It would seem ' that if\nGreece Is entitled to reparations It\nIs - alBo entitled to the territory\nwhich its army was unable to hold,\nIf the allies supported Greece in\nthe reparations lasue lt would appear that they must also support\nUs territorial claims. There Is no\nindication that they are prepared to\ngo to any such length.\nPainleve and the Planet\ni \t\nM. Painleve, who was premier of\nFrance In the midst of the war and\nwho is one of the world's greatest\nliving mathematicians, appeared In\nyesterday's news both as a physical\nscientist and as a political philosopher, says the New York Times.\nHis two capacities were \"in con-\nJunction,'* as the astronomers would\nsay, each having the same latitude\nand right ascension. He first pressed\nhis view concerning the relation of\nthe heavenly bodies in the vast\nuniverse. Then he presented his\nopinion about the relation of the\npeoples of our own Infinitesimal\npart of this universe to one another,\nand specifically concerning the importance of America's entering the\nworld court\u2014a \"vast step - in world\nprogress.\"\nA mathematician, he Is sitting in\nthe scientific court of the cosmos\nIn the case of Hnstein versus\nNewton to reconcile, as he himself\nintimates that he hopes to be able\nto do, the gravitational theory of\nthe great English philosopher with\nthe relativity theory of the eminent\nGerman. No one will for a moment\nthink that M. Painleve's determinations in the realm of pure theory\n(lnto wliiclr few' are able to follow\nhim) will be colored by the fact\nthat he was premier of France\nwhen France . was \u2022 at war . with\nGermany. Nor will anyone, even\na compatriot of Einstein, question\nthe high and Honest intent of the\nastronomers and mathematicians of\nthe French bureau of, longtltude who\npurpose going to Mexico to make\nobservations, at the time of an\neclipse next September, bearing upon\nthe Einstein theory, or assume that\nnationality will even to the hundredth\npart of a Becond of an arc disturb\ntheir calculations. The sort of mediation that M, Painleve has proffered ln settling the conflicting theoretical claims as to matters be\nyond the ken of most mortals ought\nsomehow to be evoked from the\nfinancial and political genius of the\nworld to settle the practical claims\nthat are quite within the range\nof general comprehension and com-\nmon sense.\nIt was the philosopher Kant who\nsaid In effect that the two most\nImpressive phenomena ln the universe are the starry heavens and\nthe moral responsibility of man.\nWicienf\nbuseh\nL\u00abur\u00ab-VNrfcmn\nCOLLECTING THE CANNING EQUIPMENT\nTOMORROW'S MEXTT\nBreakfast\nStewed Dried Peaches\nCereal\nBoiled Eggs\nCoffee Toast\nLuncheon\nStuffed Peppers\nWholewheat Bread\nCocoa Jam\nDinner\nCream of Celery Soup\nLamb Chops\nMashed Potatoes\nBeet-Asparagus Salad\nSteamed Raisin Pudding\nCoffee\nThe wise housekeeptr starts her\ncanning early ln the summer. For\nfew of us have time to give whole\ndays to canning, and we have therefore learned the value of putting up\na Jar here and a jar there\u2014snatching\nthese moments for canning at odd\ntimes thoughout a long season.\nSo right now is the time to sit\ndown and consider the matter. How\nmany jars of vegetables do you need\nto serve your family next winter?\nKow frnany glasses of Jelly? How\nlarge a^quantity of pickles, and of\nwhich varieties? These questions can\nbe answered only by the records of\nthe past winter, which show the adequacy of the supply of Jars that were\nput up last summer. *\nI know of one housekeeper who declares that she will never again put\nup anything in the line of pickles\nexcept picalllli and chill sauce.\nWhat's the use,\" she says. \"Here,\nat the end of spring, I find I still\nhave In my preserve closet pickled\ngherkins, pickled walnuts, pickled\nbeets, pickled pears and pickled onions! My family kept demanding picalllli and clili sauce. They wouldn't\neat the other pickles. They said noth-\ninging else tasted so well with cold\nmeats and baked beans. So why\nshould I waste time putting up the\nother kinds?\"\nThis is efficiency. It Is sensible to\nput up only what you know will be\neaten. TCvt-ry family has its favorite\njams and picklm If you have a\ngrape-vine In your back yard rind your\nfamily does not like grape Jelly\ngrnpe-Juice or pickled grapes, you can\ntrade your surplus grapes for some\nvegetable ln a neighbor's garden\u2014for\nsomething that your family will eat.\nThe young hovisekeeper who has\nnever before done any canning should\nat this, time begin collecting the following things: A wire rack to go Inside hfr wash hoiler(to hold the glass\njars), plenty of clean, new cheesecloth (used In draining and blanching\nvegetables), plenty of new rubbers\n(the glass jars themselves may be\nbought at auction or second hand,\nand sterilized by being boiled in water\nfor an hour\u2014but rubbers must be absolutely new), some jelly glasse-s and\nbottles for pickles aa well as the glass\nquart and pint Jars, a package of\nparaffine wax, a scales, a large gran\niteware or enamelware preserving ket\ntie, and a five-cent notebook to hang\non the door of the preserving closet\nso that each jar may be entered ln\nIt (date of canning It, as well as contents of, Jar) when put in closet.\nEach week, from now on, I shall\npublish directions for conning the various fruits and vegetables in season.\nTomorrow \u2014 Hints from Reader\nFriends.\nAll Inquiries addressed to Miss\nKlrkman ln care of the \"Efficient\nHousekeeping\" department will be answered In these columns in their turn.\nThis requires considerable time, however, owing to the great number received.

I wish\nI could advise people In every case\nJust to let it alone. That would hardly\nbe wise perhaps for there are timps\nwhen the object Rhould be removed\nat once. But in the majority of cases\nthe object would do no harm if It\nwere in the ear for days, so why probe\nin after it with all sorts of instru-\nTnentB.\nThat is the point I wish to make\nplain. It Is your own or the efforts\nof a friend to remove tha object that\nreally cauaes any danger to the ear.\n.Many an ear drum has been punctured, and infection, even death resulted from this desire to remove the\nohject with undue haste.

B.C., May 17. \u2014 Fernle\nDistrict Rod & Gun club held a meeting a few days ago at which a very\nrepresentative group of anglers and\nsportsmen of this district attended.\nThe chief topic of discussion wa,*--. the\napparent apathy of the federal department of marine atid fisheries toward\nIhe restocking of the streams in this\ndistrict, which it is said are fast\nbecoming depleted of cutthroat trout.\nAll the rod and gun clubs of East\nKootenay have been persistently endeavoring to Interest the fisheries department in the establishment of a\nhatchery somewhere in East Kootenay,\nbut so far no material success has\nbeen achieved from that sourco.\nNot Fairly Treated.\nThe sportsmen of the district, therefore feel that they have not been\ndealt with fairly in this respect, as no\nrestocking of streams in the territory\nhas been done for some years past\nby the government. It was pointed\nout that East Kootenay had long\nsince demonstrated that it possessed\nsome of the finest trout streams in\nCanada. However, since the' advent\nof the automobile, these streams nre\nnow of easy nccess, as there are excellent highways in all directions,\nwith the result that the streams are\nfished\" to the maximum. Rod and\ngun club organizations have from\ntime to time attempted to prevent total exhaustion, by purchasing at their\nown expense quantities of fry, and\nbeing otherwise active in endeavoring\nto conserve the game fish. The time\nhas now arrived, it is said, when the\nestablishment of a hatchery is a necessity, and periodical restocking of\nthe* streams must be done in order to\navoid extinction of the favored species.\n,< Streams Proved.\nIt was stated that heretofore one\nreason given by the fisheries department for not having established a\nhatchery In this district was the uncertainty of securing sufficient spawn.\nAccording to information presented to\nthe1 meeting, this argument has now\nbeen substantially refuted. This spring\nthe Cranbrook Rod & Gun club, at\nIts own expense, assisted by private\nsubscriptions, built a small hatchery\nat that city and employed an expert\nfrom Vancouver to operate it- A sur-\nof the district has heen made\nfrom which this expert estimates a\nquarter of a million cutthroat trout\nfry will be had from spawn collected\nat Munro lake, near Lumberton, alone.\nHe has already taken out spawn equal\nto propagaiing 1 no.000 fry. Munro\nlake is but one of numerous similar\nbodk's of water from which spawn\nmay be obtained,\nRenewed represent a tions are to be\nmade to the department of fisheries,\nand every effort exerted to obtain\nsome satisfactory action in this matter.\nBROKERAGE FIRM\nMUST PAY DEBT\nMONTREAL, May 17.\u2014The court\nof appeal here today maintained the\nappeal of Percy \\V.
