CANADA'S new
DEVELOP EN7
After the War a Period of Pros
perity.

It is evident that the Government of
the Dominion in its programme of re-
construction and development is un-
portance. There will be available the
labor for work that has been silent
since 1914, and the rehabilitation OF
this labor will entail the thought and
energy of most capable heads. The
transition period from war to peace
will be rapid and thorough, and, in
stead of Canada sinking into state
of lethargy, there will be a continued
period of wakefulneSs that will give
employment to the unemployed, and
render to the capitalist and producer
ample return for his money, effort
and enterprise.
The agricultural potentialities of
the great Canadian West possess Him
table acres of the best of soil, capable
Of producing millions Of bushels of
the best of grain. The cost of grow
ing this is lower than any place on
the continent. There will be a greater
demand than ever for these lands, the
consequent production will be heavier
and the profits attractive. Cattle
industry will be one of the chief de-
velopments, and the encouragement of
it will lie in the continued high prices
that beef products will bring. Euro
pean countries have been depleted of
cattle, and the demand for beef, cattle
and dairy products will tax the efforts
of the producer for years to come.
Western Canada offers unequaled
opportunities for development in this
line.
In the Canadian West plans are be-
ing laid for the development of cleo
trical power which can be produced
cheaply. There is an abundance of
coal and water power that could be
used in developing this useful energy.
What cheap power produced in this
way will mean to the farmer and de-
velopment Of industrial enterprises
cannot be estimated in figures.
More extensive development of the
water power at Niagara, on the st.
Lawrence and at waterfalls all over
the country, is ready to be launched.
Peace will see new mine fields
opened up. and it is equally certain
that shipbuilding, railway equipment.
steel production, and many Of the in
dustries will go forward with
bound.
Canadian industries will be required
In the reconstruction of Europe, and
already the Canadian Government has
sent across the seas commission for
the purpose Of securing orders. Cam
ada took an early and prominent part
in the war, and in the days Of peace
will be found equally active. She feels
that by the valor and loyalty of her
people she has earned a large share
of the business and prosperity that
will follow the war period, and she
proposes to get it.-Advertisement.

Petrograd, March BIN the fear
that argument would result In even
more enerous terms. the Russian dele
cation at Brest-Litovsk has accepted all
the German peace conditions and is
about to sign an agreement, according
to telegram from the delegates re-
eeived at the Smolny institute, the Col
sheviki headquarters. The demands
already have been increased, they re-
ported.
The message which was addressed to
Premier Lenine and Foreign Minis
ter Trotsky, follows:
''As we expected. deliberations on
treaty OF peace are absolutely useless
and could only make things worse In
comparison with the ultimatum OF
FEBRUARY II. They might even assume
the character of leading to the pre-
sentation of another ultimatum.
''In view of this fact and in conse-
Quence Of the Germans refusal TO
cease military action until peace IS
signed, we have resolved to sign the
treaty without discussing Its contents
and leave after we have attached our
signatures. We, therefore, have re-
quested a train, expecting to sign to-
day, and leave afterward.
"The most serious feature of the new
demands compared with those of Feb
ruary 21 is the following:
ITO detach the regions Of Karaband.
Kars and Batoum from Russian ter
ritory on the pretext of the right OF
peoples to self-determination."

Sir Eric Geddes of England Gives
Credit to American
Navy.
MORE SHIPS BEING MADE
Declares the Loss to the Worlds
Tonnage in February Was Half
That OF the Same Month
Last Year.

London, March 7-"For some
months" Sir Eric Geddes. first lord Of
the admiralty, said on Tuesday. I'VE
believe that We and the Americans
have been sinking submarines as fast
as they are built"
The trend of the figures of loss of
shipping BY enemy action was stead
lily improving, Sir Eric stated. The
loss to the worlds tonnage during
February was little more than half
the loss during February Of last year,
he said.
Submarines were being destroyed in
increasing numbers, he continued, and
as the methods employed against them
We're developed the numbers would be
enlarged still further. There was a
growing reluctance on the part of
German crews to put to sea. The
chances that a submarine would re-
turn from voyage in the waters
around England were one in four or
one In five.
In the waters around the British
isles, which had been the enemy's
chief field for submarine oreratians.
the greatest successes against the D.
boats had been obtained 50 far.
On the other hand. condi ions in the
Mediterranean had been more difficult.
Losses there accounted aor some 30
Der cent of merchant SHIPS sunk. The
resources for combating the subma-
rines in those waters were less ade-
quate and the successes obtained less
satisfactory.
Our allies are making every effort
to increase their production of ships"
Sir Eric said, but, despite glowing
reports in the American press and
great as the effort of that country
doubtless is, there is no doubt a con-
Siderable time must elapse before the
desired output is obtained"
Sir Eric, whose address was deliv-
cred in the house of commons, said
the naval forces OF the allies in Euro
pean waters would be augmented
shortly by force of Brazilian war
Ships.
Sir Eric said the rate of exaggera-
tion in the German reports of Tonnage
alleged to have been sunk was in
creasing steadily.
The first lord said he was seriously
concerned at the increasing number of
vessels lost at night. 1t appeared the
enemy were assisted in this matter by
negligence on the part of shipowners
who displayed lights instead of dark
ening their vessels.
On behalf of himself and his coll
leagues he wished publicly to pay
tribute to the whole-hearted and gen.
erous devotion to prosecution of the
war which governed the action of
every representative of the United
States navy with which they came
into contact. The personnel Of all
ranks. he said, had the respect and
esteem of the officers of the British
navy.
Concerning shipbuilding, he said
there was no lack of materials at the
present time and that there were
more men In the yards, but the out
put reached only 5000 tons In Janu-
ary, although it should have Leen
much larger.
