LEGION LECTURE FILLS
THEATRE

A well-hlled house heard Lieut..
Harry q. Milson give his lecture
From Ypres to Vimy Ridge" at
Hunts Casino Theatre, last Friday
night.
Lieutenant Nilsson was one OF the
first Cans to enlist and he is one
of eight survivors of his regiment,
which passed through the most terri
BILE and devastating battles of the
World War.
Before dwelling upon the narrowing
and serious things Of the war he got
the audiences ears by telling new
and funny stories. Then he told of
Great Britain's call for volunteers. The
Canadian Government estimated that
10000 would enlist, but 100000 re-
sponded.
Lieutenant Milson, who, by the way,
is of Irish descent, dwelt on the fact
that Canada, like the United States,
is cosmopolitan country, having in it
men of all nations. His regiment had
in 1t men from all lines of civilian en-
deavor, and, with very little training
at the camps and cantonments, 1t was
rushed to the front lines, as, at that
time, reserves were very scarce.
He paid an eloquent tribute to the
ocean greyhounds and the sailors that
kept the highways of the sea open for
the safe passage of the troops. His lee
ture was supplemented by lantern
slides. which told vividly of observation
balloons, of barbed wire eentanglements,
of gas clouds and shells, of devastated
towns and the retreat of homeless refu-
gees, of shelled trenches and fearful
casualties, and, finally, of the burial
of soldier dead, with crossed sticks
marking their graves, and the tireless
labors of the nurses of the Red Cross.
Lieutenant Nilsson delighted the aud
ience by saying, in the course OF bis ad-
dress, that he intended making Wild
wood his home.
Before the lecture, and upon its con-
clusion, there was community sing
ing led by Mr.. Fitzgerald. In this
Wildwood's youngsters played con-
spicuous part. They joined vocifer
ously in the singing of "There's
Long, Long TRAIL" 80, by Jingo,"
"Smiles " and other songs.
Mr.. Glover attended to the project
ing of the pictures.

Affairs in Ireland take on a less
turbulent aspect. The prospect of an
archy is reported as bringing the fac
tions closer to an agreement. The
number of extremists is reported as
diminishing and moderates in all par
tes are said to be frightened at the
outbreak of all kinds of crime under
the guise of political action. A COM
mon meeting ground is being sought,
but that it will not be found in the
present home rule bill is apparent.
Ireland will never indorse the bill with
any unanimity. The British govern
ment averted a serious crisis by re-
leasing the 70 Irish prisoners who
were ON a hunger strike after four had
collapsed and others were in the last
stages of exhaustion. A general strike
impended unless the government
granted the releases.

ment is under way to place 150,OOO
Turks, loyal to the sultan, at the dis
position of the British forces and un-
der command of British officers. The
French have re-established railroad
communication between Adana and
Aleppo. Probably 1000 refugees will
be removed from Adana to Cypress.
A disturbed condition exists from
the western borders of Turkey straight
east for $500 miles to the western
border of China. In the Caucasus boil
shevism is strong. disquieting situ-
alton has arisen at Batoum where the
Georgians who have been opposing al
lied occupation, threaten to join the
bolsheviki and take over the whole
region. Armenian mobilization has
been ordered in preparation for pos
sible campaign against the Tartars
and Azerbaijanese over disputed ter
ritory. Warlike Kurds, relieved OF
Russian restraint, come down from
the north and attack and pillage Ar
menian settlements frequently
The council of the League of Ma
tions is seeking a guardian for Ar
menia. That it may be somewhat diff
ficult to find is evidenced by the re-
port of the American military mission
to Armenia headed by Gen. G. G. Har-
board. The report recently made pub
lie states that any country accepting
the Armenian mandate will require an
army of $4,000 men, a good-sized fleet
of naval vessels and an outlay Of
$757, 100000 during the next five years.
The mission demonstrated it's COM
pleJe neutrality by enumerating 13
reasons for accepting the mandate and
13 reasons against acceptance, rather
implying in the significance of the
numerals, that it is unlucky if we do
and unlucky if we don't. OF special
bearing on the case of Armenia and
other minority peoples who have been
under Turkish rule is the declaration
of the council of the League of Ma
tions that it will guarantee clauses in
the Turkish peace treaty providing for
the protection of all non-Moslem mi
nOrities.

The eyes of the entire country and
probably some foreign eyes as well,
are turned upon the state of Kansas
in its efforts to settle labor troubles
through a state law and an industrial
relations court. Alexander NJ. Howat,
president of the Kansas Mine Work
ers' union and several other officials,
were jailed for refusal to testify be-
fore the court. Some railroad men in
the state have also been arrested for
violating the law by participating in
the switchmen's strike. Injunctions
are being freely used by the state Off
cials and the chief point of interest is,
as to whether the law will stand and
be an effective means of settling labor
disputes, or will fall under the as
saults to be made on it in the higher
courts.

Germany's coalition government is
still on trial with a shifting of ele-
mentS and sentiments due to the re-
cent troubles. Labor is dissatisfied
over the treatment of workmen in the
Ruhr difficulties. Moderate socialists,
irked by the hard economic conditions,
are reported joining the independent
socialists and communists. Both re-
dictionaries and extremists are dissat-
isfied that they have no representation
IN the government and are according
ly making all the trouble they can. All
factions condemn the government on
account of the French occupation Of
Frankfort and other German cities.
The hardest problem of the govern
ment is the attitude of labor which
is endeavoring to rule the cabinet.
The principal element of strength in
the coalition is in the fact that it is
so beset on all sides that it must re-
main united to prevent a fall and
chaos again. France and Great Brit
ain have smoothed out their disagree
ment over the French occupation.
France will withdraw her forces from
Germany as soon as the Germans
withdraw from the Ruhr, and prom
ises there will be no further independ-
ent action on her part.

Internal problems in China having
an important bearing on the future of
that country, are in process of har-
monization through a financial con-
sortium Of the powers. The scheme
provides for control, through the
banking groups of the different al
lies, of loans for railroads and the de-
velopment of public utilities in China.
Allied propaganda has been further
ing the project for more than year,
but until recently the jealousy exist
ing among the Shanghai Chinese and
those of South China against the
Peking government, has stood in the
way of an agreement. The anti
Peking leaders appear to be satisfied
so long as America, England and
France direct operations under the
loans and Peking officials have moth
ing to do with the actual expenditures.
The remaining problem is to induce
terms with the other three nations,
thus easing the Japanese yoke on
China. With the other powers pre-
senting such a strong front, it is be-
lieved Japan will join.
Pending the final disposition of
Turkish affairs through the medium
of the peace treaty which is expected
to be ready for submission to the
Turks early in May, England, France
and even the sultan's government are
preparing for strong military meas
ures against Mustapha Kemal and his
nationalist forces. French reinforce
ments are reported to have dampened
the ardor of the nationalists in Syria
and Cilicia The British have forti-
fed Ismid. The French are marching
through Cilicia to the relief of Amer
leans at Aintab and Urfa. A move

Governor Lowden, as was expected,
carried the presidential preference
primary in Illinois, although his plu-
rality of more than $4,000 over Leon
ard Wood was somewhat startling.
Lowden stock received boom and so
did that of Hiram Johnson whose ad-
mirers in the city of Chicago to the
number of over 10000 and upwards of
10000 down the state, wrote or pasted
his name on the ballot Few of the
preferential primaries bind delegates
to instructions for the national con-
ventions, although they do express to
considerable extent the wishes of
voters. The fight is still an open one
with General Pershing edging his hat
tentatively into the Republican ring
He has stated that he is not a candi-
date for the presidency, but, that no
man should refuse the high office if
called to it by the people. No accu-
rate forecasting of the real convention
strength of any candidate is yet pos
sible.

Ten years of fighting seem not to
have diminished the Mexican gluttony
for strife. With rebellions on every
hand and the Carranza regime hold
ing power only because it seemed to
be the most strongly organized body,
while no two of the others could COM
bine effectively against it, new ele-
ment now enters the situation in the
form of secession. Sonora, the north
western border state with an area Of
approximately 1900 square miles and
rich in gold, silver, lead, copper and
other resources, but having less
than 100000 people, has announced it's
withdrawal from the so-called repub-
lie. By proclamation the republic Of
Sonora is established, said proclama-
tion being issued by Gen. P. Elias
Gales, commander in chief of the
military forces. The federals are re-
ported organizing for suppression of
the rebels. Other Mexican states may
join the movement but whether or not
they do, is not likely to change af-
fairs much or either increase or dimin-
ish disturbed conditions in the coun-
try. A new alignment of factions may
occur, but the whole incident takes on
the character of diverting high light

located near the round house and made
a complete ruin of it. Next a fire
started in some out building in the
east part of town The damage was
small Wednesday a car load of shin
giles caught fire on the Disney siding
four miles west of town and not only
destroyed the car and shingles but did
damage to the tracks.
