. MILLION DIE OF FLU
Epidemic Throughout World Five
Times DeadIier Than War.
Never Since Black Death Has Such a
Plague Swept Over Earth, Says
Medical Authority.

London. Dec. 21.-The medical cor.
respondent of the Times says that 1t
Is reasonable to believe that through.
out the world about 100000 persons
persisted from influenza and pneu-
monia during the past three months.
1t has been estimated that the war
caused the death Of 20,0O0.OO0 persons
In four and half years.
Thus. the correspondent points out.
influenza has proved itself five times
deadlier than war because in the same
period, ut it's epidemic rate. influenza
would have killed 1OO,0O0,OOO. Never
since the black death has such
plague swept over the world, he says
adding that the need Of new survey
of public health measures has never
been mora forcibly illustrated.

Lord NorthcIiffe Favors Conduct
ing Coming Conference,
With Open Doors.
STATES HIS REASONS
Noted 6ritisher Declares cIandestine
Assemblies Are Harbingers Of
intrigues, Suspicion and Pos
sibie Deception.

Paris, Dec. Il. Lord Northcliffe,
who is visiting Paris, gave to the
newspapers the following statement
regarding his ideas as to the need of
open diplomacy in conducting the
peace negotiations so that the public
may know what is going on:
Nothing can be worse for the pros.
poets of the conference" said Lord
Northcliife. than an atmosphere of Sc
crecy and half truths. Yet. up to the
present there has been no official
statement that the momentous meet.
ings about to take place will be held
in accordance with President Wilson's
expressed views on the question of
open diplomacy.
The days of secret conclaves are
dead and gone. Clandestire assem-
blies are harbingers OF intrigue, sus-
picion and possible deception. 1t
would be intolerabie that the fate of
whole nations-great and small
should be decided in secret. Shall
the destinies of millions of people in
all quarters Of the globe be left to
handful of delegates, against whose
enactments there is no public appeal.
Such would be mockery Of that prin-
ciple of self-determination Of free ma
tions which has been fought for and
won in this war.
THE British press and people may
be relied upon to support fully the
Presidents enlightened expression of
opinion as to the need of publicity at
the momentous meetings expected to
begin in Paris on the 9th of January.
Surely the world has suffered enough
from secret diplomacy to realize that
medievalism Of that kind is totally in
compatible with the conception OF a
league, of free nations. great part
of the Presidents popularity is due to
the knowledge that he is the father of
open diplomacy which it was under
stood would be the course adopted at
the forthcoming sessions"

the Anglo.SaXon race. He said:
''It is essential for the future
peace of the world that there should
be the frankest cooperation and most
generous understanding between the
two English speaking democracies.

the fact of your peculiar position as

CANADA'S new
DEVELOP|hE
After the War a Period Of Pros
perity.

! X
Il ID evident that the Government Of
the Dominion In its programme Of re-
construction and development is nm.
dertaking work Of tremendous I'M
portance. There will be available the
labor for work that has been silent
since 1914, and the rehabilitation Of
this labor win 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 a state
Of lethargy, there will be 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 Illim-
liable 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 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 unequaleti
opportunities for development in this
Limo
In the Canadian West plans are be-
ing laid for the development of cleo
tricl power which can be produced
cheaply. There IL 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 ~ figures.
More extensive development Of the
water power ut Ningnra. on the st.
Lawrence and ut waterfalls all over
the country. is ready to be launched.
Peace will see new mine fields
opened up. and 1t is equally certain
that shipbuilding. railway equipment,
steel production, and many of the In
dustries will % forward with q
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 n E
will be found equally active. She feels
that by the valor and loyalty of her
people she has earned large share
Of the business and prosperity that
will follow the war period. and she
proposes to get it.-Advertisement.
