showed that none OF the British au-
tonomous colonies in capturing these
enemy territories had received the
slightest assistance from the United
States; whereas the latter had. after
coming into the war, derived great adj
vantage from their being no longer in
the possession of the Kaiser.
Finally Premier Hughes drew atten-
ton to the fact that President Wilson
had intlmated clearly that he was in
favor of eventually admitting Germany
into the League of Nations, whereby
she would acquire q share in the
ownership Of her former colonies and
voice. possibly a preponderant voice.
In their administration and control.
This Hughes pronounced entirely In
admissible, since the possession OF
these former German dependencies by
the League of Nations, or by any
other group OF Powers or single nation,
would constitute menace to the
British self governing colonies, who
had captured them at the point OF the
sword.
1t cannot be denied that Hughes,
who like many very short men Is pep
perry short tempered and irascible,
strongly resented the appearance Of
support which Lloyd George and his
colleagues OF the imperial Government
gave to President Wilson's views. He
did not hesitate to denounce as mere
foolish camoufage the compromise
suggested OF turning over the rights
of--swnersh'L OF the~Ane.er German,
colonies to the League of Nations on
the understanding that the latter
should appoint as it's manufactures the
British oversee commonwealths now

Issue DimcuIt One to Meet.
It IL difficult to see how this issue
will be finally met. For EnEland's
self governing colonies have made II
plain to see that they Will not give
way-surrender TO the League of
Nations or to any one else what they
have conquered and won through their
own efforts. Popular sentiment in the
United Kingdom Is wholly with them,

such an extent both by his per-

as Chief Magistrate OF the United

their opposition to his views.
Indeed the only three plenipoten-

Premier Clemenceau: Mr.. Hymans, the
Foreign Minister OF Belgium, and last
but not least the Premier of the Com

trayed a lack OF cultivation and were
delivered in tones that were not only
particularly rasping and metallic but
also unnecessarily loud, this being due
to the fact that Hughes Is stone deaf,
and therefore unable to gauge the
sound OF his own voice.
Premier Hughes's chief reason for
antagonism to President Wilson has
| been the latter's contention at the
Paris Conference that France. Bel
GUM, Japan and the British self gov
erning colonies should be deprived of
the ownership OF Germany's oversee
dependencies, which they captured
and that the right TO the possession
thereto should be vested in the League
of Nations, on the ground that the
United States could not admit of the
war undertaken for the cause of de-
mocracy, of freedom and of civiliza-

pointed out in plain. unvarnished Ian

that makes holes; and that the six

Mr. Bigelow goes on to prove, by

birds any intelligence as shown in
their flights south in the fall and
north in the spring. Wild geese will
be said to know nothing whatever
about the coming of cold weather or
warm weather, and they fly north in
the spring and south in the fall for
mere exercise. The woodchuck who
builds high chamber in his under
ground home so that he can retire
thither to escape flooding by heavy
rainfall, will be shown to do it acct

tecting himself and his family; and
the pigs that catch up mouthfuls of
straw when they can secure it, and
ruin with it to sheltered places hours
before the coming of a severe storm
or a period of cold weather, will be
shown to know nothing whatever
about trying to shelter themselves
from the inclemency of the weather.
