Winnipeg, Man., May 8.-Further
reports of lives being lost in prairie
fires in southern Saskatchewan are at
hand. A farmer named Klein was
burned out 40 miles north of Swift
Current, one child was burned to death
and four other members of that family

South of Swift Current, 25 miles, a
whole township was burned over, and
only 5000 acres of pasture left The
fire started from a German village.
Johannes Hadick, Hollander aged GA,

of the fires were started by careless
new settlers, who allowed small fires
to get beyond their control.

Music is common and beautiful as
light and air." There is no better exponent
of this belief than M. Camille Bellaigue
In his opinion music is the most social and
sociological of the arts. He remarks how it
has always appealed the most strongly to
apostles of the people who make social re-
generation the object and hope of their
lives. The people, he says, are by nature
musicians. They are not architects, or
painters, or sculptors. Music exists for the
people, not the public, and the decadence of
music means the triumph of materialism
and the loss of social faith.

Englishmen, who have so often boast
ed of their superiority to Americans
in settling race problems, now have
such difficulty of their own. The So
ciety of African Settlers, which began
its annual session in London today, is
confronted by condition of affairs
which may yet result in the adoption
of the lawless American methods
in the relations between whites and
blacks in Africa. This "black peril''
has its origin in the trials of white
men ON the West African gold coast
by iuries composed entirely of negroes.
Under such conditions, it is alleged, it
is impossible for an Englishman to Sc
cure justice, the black jurors always
bringing in verdict of conviction, re-
CARELESS of evidence. The matter has
been brought to the attention of parlia-
ment, and an official investigation has
been ordered.
