The fight assumed tin, charader of gtieftllO. warfare ail along ihe line. The legionaires took advantage of the natural resources of the country for laying ambuscades. As the regulars were advancing across orchards, thoy wore enveloped by fire from machine guns which had heen sunk to the level of the ground and cleverly camofliige^. The houses seemed to have been abandoned, but. when tbe troops approached, the legionaires, hidden behind windows, ' behind chimney slacks und on balconies and -roofs, suddenly opened fire. Even women were found working machine guns, . _ * The gravest losses were inflicted by hand grenades, which were used so freely as to f^lve the impression that they must have been ac- Climuldted by the scores of tbous- ►ands. Tbe legionaires ultimately tried to force tbe regulars" to retreat in order to relieve pressure on the city, but failed, owing to the stubborn resistance, especially, of the carabineers and Alpine troops, who fought courageously for more than three hours. The poinls whehe the struggle was the bitterest, near Un* railway station and inside* the . Flume cemetery, were virtually destroyed.

The ftalians, however, invoked 'the principle ot "self-determination" enunciated by President Wilson and pointed to the fact' that the population of. Fiume, upon the dissolution of the AustrO- Hungorfan empird, had proclaimed tbrongb their national council,, the union of Flume \ylth Italy. CauBQ of Orlando's Fall Failure lo reach a satisfactory solution of the Flume ombrogllo, however, was one of the principal causes of the downfall of the Orlando ministry on June 19;. 1919, and* it was succofided by the moderate Nitti cabinet, whosp aelectlon exasperated the Italian nationalists and was'tho forerunner of tbe d'Annunzio coup d'etat the following September. Fiume, at the time of the entry of the d'Annunzio forces, was under tbe military control of General. Pittaluga of the Italian army. The general had led a, BtrOng detachment to the outskirts of tho ciiy to intercept the invaders -who had armored automobiles and were anft- ed with machine guns. D'Annunzio met hint with the sanitation: "I understand you would fire upon yourL brethien'.' (Hearing his breast) Fire upon me."

The well, according Io Mr/ Phair, who arrived from a visit to Lhe coast 10 days ago, is situated ouljf six and a half miles from Vancouver city, and boring opcrutiuns have been proceeding for tbe past two years. After employing a four-inch drill, the syndicate had Prof. Jewell, tho California geologist, examine the core and advise as to future drilling,'and the. present well, which has' a 16-inch casing, has been -bored in lu-cordance with his advice. Conglomerate, sandstone, aud shale were successively encountered, and recently oil shale. The experts expected to get results at about (l,7ii0 feet dept, and the coming in of the gusher 2,r>0 feet sooner than expected is an agreeable surpris'e.

'Sales amounted to 1,100,000 shares. Trading hi bonds, especially ih the convertible or speculative Issues, was in keeping wiih the demand for slocks, but liberties, and industrial;;, were irregular.

THURSDAY, DEC. 30, 1920, the Importance of the Palp Industry The importance of the pulp ind paper industry is empha- Szed by a report by R. A. Mc- [nnes, manager of Abitibi Power & Paper company, Iro- juois Falls, who said that few people realized what the pulp ndustry meant to northern On- »rio. The Abitibi company paid list year three and a half millions *fn wages alone. Then "here were other mills at 3mooth Rock, Kapuskasing and o on. In a few years the wages )aid annually by these and new mills would run to the enormous »tal of $15,000,000. Another sign of the import- ince of the forest was the Abitibi company had paid in freight to the T. & N. 0. in the )ast year $950,000, and the rther companies in proportion. The investment, in the past hree years by pulp companies iad been $60,000,000 in what is ioy known in the east as the ^orth country, and it was just beginning. That showed the Bnormous importance of the in- lustry to northern Ontario, said Mr. Mclnnes.

Efficient busefa **;* Uur%.A.Ktrtoivi THE CARE OFYOm Several of my rentiers have written about "aiihlnVs" (or plant lice), asking me to writo nn article anon (retting rid .of these little nests, so the following Is in answer to "Annie H.." "A Constant he finer" and "M. F. D" Tt calls for eternal viEilanre on. the nart of the hnnsei.*.iener to keoii house -r-lants free from those parasites. As is thp easp|Wiih man'- thlntzs. an ounce of "re vent ion ts worth a pound of cure. Rvery u^w plant should be kept, -""fruiiloiisly clean nnd at the first sien of inf.-et ion should be "nun ran lined" ind treated with an insecticide hefor<> *he leaves begin to curl up and afford protect ion to the lice. Thf stems of ferns should he washed freouentlv with soansuds: palms and rubber plants should Mso bo given this treatment. In fact, all plants nre better for an occasional both of this sort, Vm ordinary soao and a sponge or piece of cotton, and be sure to go under the (oaves ns that Is where the insects hide. Among the manv. remedies used for aphides are the tobacco decoctions, tobacco dust, kerosene aniulslon. nnd whnle-oll soap. The latter is very good and Is easily applied. Tobacco may be iiHed ns a spray or in fumigation. The following treatment is excellent: Tobac-'fi Water: T'onr a gallon of boiling water over a pound of tobacco ■dems unci let it stand a dny, keeping, it warm. Then strain and use as a ■-pray. After an hour spray again, and lust with tobacco dust (this can be bought.) The next day give the pliinl bath of carbolic soap suds, followed by a shower of tepid water. To use Whale-oil Soap: Dissolve one pound of the soap In five galloiif* of hot water. L'sa this as a spray, af- H ter which wash (lie steins of the plants. It Is frequently nectteaary to spray again on the day following the first Spraying, as the insects sometimes recover from the first treatment. Three. or four sprayings. Indeed, are often necessary to kill them. The spray may be applied with a garden syringe or with a whisk. Home-made soaps and good laundry soaps are often as effective as whale- oil soap, so lhe housekeeper need not dlspair if she is not able lo obtain the regular whale-oil soap for her plants. The following Keros.-ue Emulsion may also he made with a good laundry soap Instead of whale-oil soap. Kerosene .Kmulstoii: Hard, soft or whale-oil ijonu 1-2 pound; Water. 1 gnllon; kerosene. 1 gallons. Dissolve the soap In hot water; remove from tbe fli-e and while still hot add tho kerosene. Pump tfie liquid back inlo Itself for agitate In any way) until it becomes a creamy mass. IT properly made, the oil will not separate out on cooling, For use Ih killing plant lice on foliage, dilute with from ten to fifteen parts of water. Crude oil emulsion Is made In the same way by substituting crude oil in place of kerosene. It is best to apply these remedies before the leaves liave curled and affor. protection for the lice. The under side of the leaves should be hit. in spraying, for it is there that the lice will be found. If the housekeeper does not wish to go to the trouble of spraying her plants with tobacco water, kerosene emulsion or the whale-nil soap preparation, she should burn some tobacco near;*the plants—or get some man to smoke a pipe nc-ar them. Tomorrow—Mere Answered Letters.. WHAT thb; press is bating t $ $ Worse Than Beer That Oalahad-Gldeon of our age, Rev. Dr. Witbtir F. Crafts, has now turned his attention to the mov-Jiiaid by iea. All sorts of things are wrong with the movies.' They are open on Sun-toy. Thoy inform the pure youth that vampire1 women exist in Uie world about him. They must be controlled, and controlled by a federal censorship. It seems that Dr. Crafts lately went to a movie theatre—not. of course, to -see the show, nor wiih any worldly purpose of getting pleasure out of it, but purely to investigate the problem .confronting ihe moral forces of the community. And there he saw pictures of a vampire woman. Take it from Dr. Crafts she must have been pretty bad. Says ihe doctor: "I would rather have my son stand at a bpr and drink two glasses ol beer than have him see that vampire woman. He may get over the effects of the beer In a week but he could not forget that vampire woman u^til he was eighty years old." To the worldly this may seem like pretty high praise of the lady; for when your reformer says that she is. worse than two glasses of beer b£ has said his utmost—particularly if, as in this case, the beer is potent] enough to* be remembered a wee): after taking.

This is tb which is agitating the Pacific coast province at the preseiit time. Iilrs. Smith first ran for the' legislature following the death of her husband, who was in the OUVfcr cabinet. However, she stood as an independent and ran against a Liberal irandidate. This election she returned r.o the Liberal fold and now it is announced she will likely enter the cabinet. Following the election there was a celebration in Vancouver when Premier John Oliver in his enthusi'ibfn kissed hor so heartily that, according to the Vancouv*L'r World, you could hear the smack from the sub- ba.sement to the roof garden of the Vancouver Hotel. The inc-.dent has apparently set all British C-.tlumbia agog. The premier nas been reproved, hut has defended himself by Buying that "the kiss was n duty, not a sin." He then, for an interviower, drew an analogy from the story cf the prodigal son: " . . . And he fell on his neck and kissed him." "Surely," said John, "if my namesake the apostle, saw merit In that rioh farmer kissing the prodigal son when he returned to the fold, shouldn't I, as farmer- premier, kiss the prodigal daughter who Qias returned to the Liberal fold after straying in the land of the Independents for a brief season?"

I have taken temporary charge of a church in Bridgetown to give the vicar an opportunity to go away to Canada to bring back his wife, who went to Toronto ou account of ill health some time ago. The ship carrying the vicar to Canada sailed Jubt beforo my ship arrived, so I had not an opportunity of meeting the man whose duties I am trying to carry on. . These duties X find to be much the fsame as those of a Canadian city clergyman, but-, there are also duties In connection with my new office with which I am entirely unacquainted. For instance,, the government furnishes the money to me, and I pay the public school teachers their salaries—of those only, of course, who teach In the schools In my parish. The clergy also are paid by the government. ' In other wards, the church la a state church, the same as In England, with this difference that the Ghuroh of England Is not tho only state supported church—the Methodist luestion cause is compelled to be alii must obtain the clergyman's permission. I am sorry to say the head mistress of my schoo! is away, with the permission of the vtcurj and 1 heard today she will have to have her leg cut oil'. My entry In the visitor's book recorded her continued absence. Today 1 ■ we^it to the boy's school, and found' 157 bright looking little chaps in attendance. 1 noticed one or two white boys in this school, but in tin; girls" school they were black of all shades. Native Teacher*. These schools are run on much the same plan as out* Sunday schools, that is there Is only one large room for all the children, and the teachers assemble their classes around them, as we do in the pews in the church. They have no separate class rooms, as' in our graded schools. As to the <uiali- ty of the education imparted, I am not In-a position to speak at present. I may be later when 1 have had more experience. The teachers are all colored people, and I fancy the scholastic attainments are not of a .very high order. They do not have to,attend, any model school, as our young teachers do, and the examinations are, I feel sure, of a rathe t'l elementary nature. However, the children are all quite young, and I understand, leave school to go to work while still small children. I think that In the matter of deportment they compare very favorably with Canadian children, and the order in school Is remarkably good. 1 notice also that the school children speak much more dlstllictly than the generality pf those I hear in the streets. It Is most difficult to understand the gabble of the young men and women on the streets. I heard a boatman scolding his assistant boatman. He was very angry, and gabbled away Cor three or four minutes, and the only words I could catch ■were thy swear words, although I listened attentively to ■ See It! 1 could understand what he was saying, and yet it was all English of a sort. But the school children, 1 can understand quite readily, if they will only speak loud enough to be. beaupl. This afternoon 1 went to see the head mistress, whom I mention as bi- Ing ill and likely to lose her leg. As is usual, evun With us in Canada, the story, is .very much exaggerated. alio has hurt her shin by falling,over a' plunk, and hopes to be back iii school in a few days, i I had a very interesting walk of about four miles io get lo her, show- ever.

Leith and Holmes fell, it could be used as -j hasi.s for' securing tho general nhjeet, and Mr. Sewell had the same view. Mr. Annalilc explained that the members of the committee had drawn a. rigid line against llicii* own nomination. .John Smith said that, now that tho meeting had ihe facts, tlie members oC the cfunmiuee need not feel squeamish aliont being, nominated if ihe meeting wanted to name some of llieni. , Meetino Adds Names C, D. lilaekwooil took the same view.

Kin;; ■...-.'.A lm had come prepared ia \oio for tho committee's Choice, hui that, on learning that the committee had refused ; to consider any of it-s own members; tin- position to hhn was entirely altered. A personal explanation was made hy Mr. Annable as to his position, and lhe recommendation he laid made lhat Mr. (.'unliffe he induced to stand, iu view of liis service as chairman of the power committee during lhe speaker's term as mayor. Mr. Annable said lie. knew things which he eould not make public, but which made it certain 'that, there would lie extensions td the powor plant, the coming yoftc, and Mr. fuuliffc's service jytif- reipiired. Tlie latter, however, did not want to he on the council unless certain' other business men were also on the "date*. , Ballot Discussed It was- moved by Mi: Leith and seconded liy Air. Holmes tliht the meeting ballot on the nine names suggested, .1. II. Jones ---lifcod the point that there were no returned mep hi tin.' suggested hsl. He asked, why there should bo seven candidates, rather than 17. and favored having them '.'fight il oui a.t lhe polls." Mr. Scanlan said four returned men had been interviewed and none would stand,' Mr. Lelth mentioned the efforts of the particular subcommittee he was on, to induce three returned men to j'lin. The last.-man they interviewed wns nsked to suggest. *an available returned man for tho. slate, and eould ufet suggest one. Mr. .Tones intimated that there would be candidates in tbe field beside tlie slate named nt the meeting. Mr. Scanlan replied tbat perhaps that was why tbe G.W.V.A. had not named delegates for tho committee. On this point, II. M. Cobb-ett. explained that the constitution of thu A.

H. Waters ihnnghl tho plan of tbe meeting voting on the nino names could nol he improved upon. Mr. Chorptette suggested that tiie meeting nominate more names, bringing tho number up to the original 17, or at. least a larger number than was before tlie meeting. In line wiih litis suggestion, Mr. Wnlley suggested lhe name of H, W. Robertson, Tho latter,' however, witlidrew on th'e ground that lie was in the midst of reorganizing, and eould not do Ibe office justice if chosen. J. A. Irving nslced what was tho utility of balloting on Mr.'Cnnllffe's name, when it was, not certain he wouid accept. Messrs. Annable and Leith both vouched for Mr. Cunllffe, and Chairman Horstead went on record to the samo effect.'1 , *. The motion for a ballot was then carried. Chairman Horstead then named H. W. 'Robertson, C. H. Sewell, and J. H, Jnnes as scrutineers, and tho meeting voted on the nino names, Ibe result being as already given. Aid.
