At church services the usual proportion of young men just coming to the heritage of riper years is about one-sixth. The proportion of girls budding into womanhood is one-third. We may well ask why the boys do not attend church? Is it the influence within the church, that repels them or outside it? or both? There are Educational benefits to be derived from amateur concerts. The practice gives memory and elecutionary training, the appearance before .the public gives confidence. Many - experiences iu life show thatofteu a man with little Education with no special intellectual gifts will do nicely on a platform, while a man of good ability and education stumbles painfully along from the lack of practice. It is not creditable to our Educational Institutions that they should fail to help the young men to face the public with some confidence at least. , DIVISION I M. A.

Determined to make every possible concession lo attain peace in the Near East, it is explained in official quarters, France at the last, moments of the negotiations at Lausanne surrendered in some matters of vital interest to her, but as peace failed, ���and renewed pourparlers are necessary, it is likely that France will request a review of what was done at Lausanne. The diplomatic representatives of various countries are described as more and more inclined to accept the view that .Russian influence played au important part in Turkish reluctance to sign at Lausanne. Thc French held that strong Soviet sentiment was rellected by members of llie Ottoman delegation, voicing thc views of that element" of thc. National Assembly which, while not openly disposed toward Sovietism, is convinced that Turkey, as Russia's neighbor, must not displease the Government ruling in Russia.

The Dominion claimed ?32,- 900,000. Both sides accepted Mr. Asquith as arbitrator, and for his work he is to receive ��1,000. Thc dispute was the result of financial negotiations which took place between Canada and the Imperial Gov- ernments'during the war. ^Y]lile hostilities were proceeding, the British Government received advances from Canada of something over one billion dollars.

Mr. Asquith, in giving his award, has allowed the exchange on all transactions covered by the interim agreements to stand, and the outstanding balance due to the Canadian Govern-1, ment is to be settled at the "rate of " the day" when" payments are made. The substance of the decision means that Great Britain has paid the bulk of her., balance to Canada with depreciated pounds, but has received par value for them. f++...+.+.+*.*.*++* ���,* IF STOMACH IS * TROUBLING YOU U.S. Clearing Up Obligations In England Overdrafts of $20,000 Left Outstanding By Army Officers ��� London.���Following the steps taken by thc British Government lo settle its war-time debts to tlie United Slates, the United States Government has begun clearing up odds and ends of United States obligations in this country.

Declare Against Bi-Lingualism Manitoba Trustees Defeat Motion to Teach French in Schools Winnipeg.���For the third consecutive " year, .the Manitoba School Trustees' Association defeated a motion for the introduction of bi-lingual- ism into the public schools of Manitoba. The motion was voted down by about 2 to 1. Strong arguments were advanced by several speakers for the teaching of tlie French language in schools where a majority of the children desire it. Opponents, however, characterized this as being "the thin edge of the wedge," and one speaker stated Manitoba was no longer a bi-lingual, but a multilingual province, in which the Ruthenian, German and Polish speaking people had,'by virtue of their numbers, claims equally as grcal;as those of the French.
