'CANADALOSES MANY
FOREIGN SETTLERS
Departures Of Workers Started
After the Signing Of the
Armistice.
AID is GIVEN TO SOLDIERS
Dominion Extends Its Efforts
to Get Agricultnrists and
Others at Tasks.

Although efforts are being made by tine
Canadian Government to bring into the
country a high class Of immigrants, par
ticulsriy agriculturists, statistics show
that since the signing Of the armistice
largo number of foreigners have ieft the
Dominion for Europe. Figures compiled
by the Canadian High Commissioner III
London, who has access TO all facts con-
corning the movements of workers to ana
from Europe, reveal the conditions, which
are directly opposite to the general opin-
ion.
In addition TO the men, and women
who have left the country OF their own
accord there are many who Will DC
forced to depart by the Government au-
thorities. Power has been given TO the
Canadian Minister of Justice to intern
all enemy aliens that are considered dan-
gerous. hostile or undesirable. inc Di-
rector of International Operations has
been authorized to pay to each prisoner
sum not exceeding SIS. There are now
interned In Canada 1900 enemy Aliens VI
whom 1900 are Germans.
The Grand Army OF Canada Is making
special efforts to extend help in every
way to the returning soldiers who are
entering the economic life OF the coun-
try. One Of the frst things decided upon
was the opening of cooperative stores IN
Toronto, and r the plan proves success
full the system will be extended through
out the Dominion.
Another move that will prove beneficial
to soldiers who get back to Canaoa
from Europe Is the afiliStion OF tne
" ty,C n
the Veterans Association of Great BRIT
ain. The utilization is with the twenty
branches already formed. including
those in Montreal. Ottawa. Winnipeg,
Vancouver and Victoria. and others tnat
may be organised in the future NaVai
and military members OF the Veterans
Association proceeding from England 10
Canada will be able to reap advantages
from the afiliation by introductions TO
headquarters or local branches.
Canadian Women Help in War.
During the war Canada lost large num-
Der OF its women residents. who crossed
the ocean to help the mother country IN
any way they could. Many OF these are
now returning some as brides OF soldiers.
! A Email proportion of the women have re-
turned leisureiy and have stopped In Ne"
| York on sightseeing trips before taxing
up their tasks again in the northern
| provinces.
One girl who was in New lork on
| her way to her old home In ontario
made an address at a women's meeting
here in which she told OF the possibili-
| ties for women and men in Canada. She
was optimistic about the whole coun'
try, but she did not minimize the dini-
oultics and hardships that have TO ee
| overcome in many cases.
The girl is n farmer and Is we'll quail
ifed:to give advice to the "Cheechako'
or newcomer. that viii be valuable. The
! daughter of a farmer in Ontario, she
has worked on the land all her life and
knows its demands as we'll as any man
who tills the soil. She went TO England
four years ago to help the Allies in the
! war and she drove motor transports
at all hours OF the day and night
"Ca-ada." said the girl, "is the COM
ing country OF TIE world. Its posi-
! bilities for the next twenty-five years
are unbounded. Poor or rich, however
every man or woman who goes to Can
, ada has TO work.
'Onta-Io differs vastly from western

better than in most countries. For in
