Bethmann-HoIIweg's Statement
of Yesterday Concerning
"New Belgium" Regard
ed as Prophetic.

Berlin, April z. (wireless to Say
ville).-Two statements in DR.. Won
Bethmann-Hollweg's speech in the
reichstag have attracted especially the
attention Of the public, the first being
that in which he allude to the subma-
rine warfare and the relations Of Ger
many with the United States, and the
second being the limitations regarding
Germany's, peace terms when for the
of Germany withdrawing from Bel
giuln which. however. he said, must be
a new Belgium" His words in this
latter connections are interpreted as an
affirmation that Germany would not
e%vacuate a country where the blood OF
persons had been shed, without recelV-
ing necessary guarantees regarding ITS
future. and that the new Belgium"
must include a special disposition for
the Flemish portion of the kingdom, a
hint of the nature of which is regarded
as being given by the chancellor's use
of the word "Netherlandfsh." He spoke
of the necessity of assuring the long
oppressed Flemish Inhabitants an OPP
portunity for development on the basis
Of their Netherlandish language and
characteristics"

In proof of this the association
points to the report of the federal bu-
reau of census showing that the tn.
b%erculosis death rate declined from
2O0.7 per 100000 population in 1904 to
146.S in 1914. Nevertheless, the re-
port showed that in 1914 tuberculosis
caused over 10.5 per cept of all deaths
in the registration area of the United
States.
1t is remarked that there are now
in this country more than 1900 anti
tuberculosis associations, 600 SAINT
tariums and hospitals, $50 dispen-
saries, 800 open-air schools and over
100000 persons actively interested in
the prevention of tuberculosis.

Fine Resin From Desert Cactus.

A high-grade resin, golden yellow
and firm, and in %solubility resembling
Dammar resin, has been extracted
from samples of dried desert cactus
sent to the University of Washington
chemistry department from the South
west.
1t was there that the discovery of
how to extract resin from wood by
using ammonia as a solvent was dis
covered. Ammonia, however, would
not dissolve the resin in cactus, so
Prof. H. X. Benson started a search
for another solvent and found that
denatured alcohol was the best.
The yield is about 20 per cent, and
the cost will be less than that of eN-
tracing it from wood, as nearly all
the alcohol can be recovered.

PROSPERITY IN
WESTERN CANADA
900 Million Dollars in New Wealth
Added in 1915.

Canada as a whole has enjoyed Won
derful prosperity in 1915, from the
products of the farm, the orchard and
the centres of industry. No country
wrote a brighter page of history in
agricultural and industrial develop

a billion bushels of grain produced.
Taxes in Western Canada average $24
and will not exceed s35 per quarter
section, which includes all taxes. No
taxes on improvements.
When Western Canada was faced
with her enormous harvest last fall
the military authorities decided that
soldiers in Canada could give the En-
pire no better service for the time
being than to assist in harvesting the
crops For that reason leave Of ab

wished to work in the harvest fields.

The necessity for increasing the ag.

even more attention in 1916, and it is
now announced that soldiers in Can

their military duties in the spring for
a certain length of time to enable
them to plant the seed for the crops
in every Province of the Dominion.
The fact that the Government rec
