he believed the press ought to talk war
and the people boost war at this time.
As part of its program. the State De-
partment opened its first official discussion
with the Japanese mission today concerning
greater cooperation between the two ma =
tions.
Japan will probably offer assistance in
ship construction If the United States will
modify its steel embargo.
Japan may propose that her army take
n hand along the east front to roll back
the Teutons pressing on Russia
International political questions extra
neous to the war will probably be avoided
Still further evidence of the war business
on hand came in an official intimation that
IL Holland yielded to Germanys pressure
for use of Antwerp as a naval base. the
United States and the Allies would re-
gard the waters there as bellgerent and
take forceful action to thwart Germany's
move.
The question of further war aid for Italy
is still open, apparently, and the Govern
ment indicated that for the present II will
maintain its aid to Italy on the same level
as recently.

spent are becoming more and more in

Senate and House admitted this today
1ne result IL likely TO be series of in
quiries and Investigations. Meanwhile the
sentiment for creating joint con-
gressional committee on expenditures is
growing rapidly despite the openly voiced
opposition of President Wilson.
The House has determined that tie
sending OF grossly defective small arms
ammunition to General Pershing shall be
investigated and responsibility fixed The
fact that Secretary OF War Baker has
insisted that the defective ammunition he-
came spoiled through chemical causes has
not satisfied the House. The very fact
that the Secretary has named committee
to probe the entire question has confirmed
leaders In their belief that Congress should
assemble the facts.

publicly banded about II the charge that
the Government Is being robbed right
and left on many of It's contracts which
have been let on n basis of cost plus 10
per cent to the contractor. In expana-
ton of this fact the labor and the mate
rial cost of many OF the big cantonments
is cited. All employees in certain OF
the cantonments are declared to have been
paid far more than they would have re-
ceired at the prevailing wage rate" Five
to seven dollars day of eight hours, with
time and a half for overtime for or
dinary labor and 81 to $40 a day for
certain classes of only ordinarily skilled
labor is alleged to have been paid. This
is coupled with the allegation that these
fgureS prevailed only on the official pay
roll and did not represent the money actu-
ally paid To the men. Building materials
costs also are alleged to have been padded
Interested Senators and representatives
frankly say that the charge may be un-
true and that the entire payments for
men may have been justified by a short
ago of labor. But If this is SO. they
say that they ought to have official facts

GREAT DEMAND
FOR CANADIAN Land
Americans Are Buyers and Be-
coming SettIers-Anxious to
Get Cheap and Produc-
tive Land.

Reports are to hand that there will
be large influx of settlers from the
United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For time
there has been falling off. on account
OF the fear of CONSUMPTION, which OF
course was not possible, and which the
Canadian Government gave every as
surance would not be put into opera
ton. In any case 1t would not affect
the American settler, and more than
that the man who was working on the
farm, helping TO produce the grain
that goes to feed those who are at war,
would not be affected.
The excellent yields of the Western
Canada crops, and the high prices Sc
cured is having its influence on those
looking for homes. The authenticated
reports that have been sent out from
time to time that this farmer and that
farmer had paid for their entire farm
holdings out OF one crop has reached
the ears of the man looking for a farm.
When he hears that G. II. Beatty of
Nanton, Alberta, had 679 bushels OF
wheat from u acres or an average of
b61a bushels to the acre, he becomes
interested. When he learns that Sid
ney e. Phillips of Beddeford, Alberta,
threshed ten hundred and fifty-three
bushels of wheat, the average being
621a bushels per acre, his interest is
further aroused. Thos. Long of Leth-
bridge had 120 bushels of oats to the
acre from field of % acres,a w.
Quinn Of Milk River had 6,094 bushels
Of wheat from 100 acres, an average
of 90 bushels per acre, and Robert
Tackaberry of NObleford makes atiida-
Wit that he had an average of seventy
six bushels Of wheat per acre from a
field of 1908 acres. ThOs. Boulton of the
same place makes affidavit that from
dfty acres he had yield of fifty-three
bushels Of wheat per acre. Newell, J.
Mobiles affidavit of getting "a bushels
per acre from 1000 acres stands out
most strongly as evidence of what the
wheat grower can do. This affidavit Is
strengthened by n paragraph stating
that he had 100 bushels and 80 lbs. per
acre from 39469 acres. Mrs. Nancy
SOS lhdhcS dlllCuNlL llldI on UeT lHTn
at Nobleford she threshed six thou
sand one hundred and ten bushels OF
wheat from one hundred and fifteen
acres. or fifty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre, and from flax field
(stubble field) she got 20 bushels and
B8 pounds per acre.
1t cannot be said that these were
freak yields because so many had such
great success. When these reports are
read, the man looking for Ii farm be-
comes convinced.
These are only few Of the reasons
that will cause large influx of Amer
tcan farmers into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring.
The farmers now resident in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are
purchasing additional lands. Prices
are low and Free homestead land can
be had in many districts and the home
steader is welcome.-Advertisem d

culaneum, they are in almost perfect
condition, beautifully fashioned, etched
and carved instruments of bronze, for
the surgeons of the ancient Roman en-
pire evidently were artists as well as
healers.
The remarkable fact for the visit
ing surgeons was that the instruments
are in a mechanical way singularly like
the most modern instruments applied
to similar uses-modern instruments
whose perfection has been gained only
after centuries of study and improve
ment. The ancient instruments are
much more complex in their operation
than those of modern times, but have
been made and adapted to particular
uses with wonderful ingenuity. There
are a number Of instruments used for
genealogical work and to aid in
births, and an equipment of scissors,
forceps for various uses, lances and
knives.
One famous surgeon from the West
examined the specimens very carefully
and admiringly declared that if the in
struments were refurbished and
cleaned and sharpened he would not
be afraid to perform an operation with
them even at this day. 81 think these
instruments over 1900 years old are
better than the instruments in use by
physicians 200 years ago." he said.
