No Advertising Aecepted for First Page to the green one-cent stamp, but this will be eliminated when the old issue is used up within the next few days. To add to the confusion explained above, it is noted that the rtew four-cent stamp is identical in color with the present seven-cent stamp, with the exception of the figures 4 and 7, and it is believed that the government authorities will either cancel the seven-cent stamp or change its color. CANADA'S ASH HEAP A PROVOCATIVE SPEECH PREMIER POINCARE has made a statement to the population of the once devastated district of Thiaucourt, which the other allies would like to believe. The declaration that "France knows how to make Germany pay for the destruction she caused during the war" will be more fully credited abroad when M. Poincare produces the details of the method. Lloyd George has expressed a strong desire to make Germany pay, but has not been able to discover the process. There is a deliberately provccative purpose in the premier's visit at this particular time to the scenes of Germany's worst barbarities, and in his rehearsal to the people of the inhumanities of the enemy. Residents of Thiacourt and Barde Due do not need this refreshment of the bitter memories of the invasion, but the leader of the government may think that he needs it. WHEN it is realized that Canada's annual fire loss amounts to $45,000,000 without reckoning the enormous wastage in the forests, it is small wonder that the governments of the country are beginning to ascertain some of the more common causes of this devastation. At a recent gathering of the Association of Canadian Fire Marshals careless parents, reckless children, and thoughtless smokers came in for a good deal of criticism. One speaker declared that if the average smoker were to take one-tenth of the amount of caution when he throws away a match as he employs care in the proper ignition of his tobacco very little damage would be occasioned by this most common of causes. Apply a similar theory to many equally dangerous practices and the forty-five million-dollar ash heap, not to speak of demolished timber, would be reduced to less harmful and cheaper proportions.
