Allies Not Agreed
On Indemnify Demand
For Sinking Of Ships

Paris, Dec. 1o-(Havas.) -Ailied
experts are not agreed as to what
demands should be made on Ger
many as reparation for the sinking
OF the interned German fleet at
Scapa Flow, according to the Matin.
Some are disposed to accept newly
constructed ships from the Ger
mans, while others would require
the immediate delivery of German
light cruisers. 1t is probable, the
newspaper says, that compromise
will be reached. Such step is now
being discussed by British delegates
who will submit 1t to the British

France Rapidly Is
Rehabilitating Its
Devastated Regions

Scissors, Dec. 1o-(By The AS
ISOLATED Press. Gradual transfor-
nation of the battfe-swept regions
of northern France back to their
normal condition is being every
where noted by The Associated
Press correspondent, who, with spe-
cial facilities extended by the gov
eminent, is making a tour through
the devastated regions. This reha-
bilitation is observable in the re-
vival of old industries, the estab-
lishment of new ones and the intro
duction of modern equipment and it
is even noticeable in the return Of
vast f1ocks and herds of domestic
animals, depleted by the war, back
to the normal basis required for the
domestic needs of this region.

DOMINION TOBACCO
CROPS INCREASING
Gain in Growing Is Shown,
With Additional Amount
Imported From U. s.

The Canadian Bank OF Commerce OF
Toronto calls attention to the fact that
Canada imported during the eleven
months edded February last 2s,6ls.S4S
pounds Of tobacco In its various forms
valued at s10.s23.923, OF which $9.791.-
s13 came from the United States. In
the fiscal year ended March, 1915, 49,
70S.72S pounds valued at s7.s75.7s6. were
I imported. The increased consumption OF
tobacco Is further evidenced by an in
crease in the amoutn produced within
the Dominion. Oniclal returns show a
production OF 14.232,000 pounds in 1918,
as compared with S,495,000 pounds in
1917. and $4,000 pounds in 1916.
The tobacco division OF the Dominion
Experimental Farm at Ottawa has aided
substantially in the development OF this
industry, and producers have derived
encouragement from measure of tarlff
protection. At the present time all leaf
sold BY Jobbers in its natural state Is
subject to an inland revenue tax of
cents a pound. and there Is an import
duty OF 40 cents a pound on all importa-
tons of foreign leaf. Canadian grown
tobacco Is therefore protected to the
extent OF 35 cents a pound.
The high prices paid by manufacturers
for leaf during the last few years have
induced farmers to devote more acreage
and time to tobacco growing. branch Of
agriculture which until quite recently
was looked upon as more or less expert
