Winnipeg, April 22. 49, Cattle are
dying by the score all over western
Canada owing to- the late spring pre-
venting them getting on the pasture
and the lack Of feed in the west.
The spring is very late this year and
the ground is 50 frozen that there
is no feed yet. The flour mills have
been idle since the first Of the year
owing to the lack Of export orders
and there has been no mill feed on
the market for several weeks. Hay

NEW BRITISH ENVOY
4. !; FACES DIFFICULT TASK
(By International News Service.)

(By International News Service.)
, London, April 22.--Sir Auckland
Geddes, new ambassador from Great
Britain to the United States, is fac
ing a difficult task, according to DR..
Arthur Lynch, who recently returned
from the United States and who has
outlined the situation in an article
in the Daily Express. Yet DR.. Lynch
believes that the government has
made good CHOICE" for the job.
DR.. Lynch pays tribute to the
Americans ability to distinguish be-
tween imam" and manner" and
feels certain that Sir Auckland will
measure up to Americas standard of
man. Continuing, he says:
"The main thing is to recognize the
big interests of America, the fact
that henceforth she is destined to be
a great world force, and that,
amongst other things, she may soon
be out for the biggest navy on earth,
or on ocean.
. "The internal resources of the
country are vast beyond comprehen-
sion, and the era of external ex-
pansion has came. We will meet the
Stars and Stripes everywhere, and
the cardinal principle in the whole
foreign policy Of this country must
be friendship with the States. Those
who talk otherwise--and they exist
here in abundance-are like children
playing with live bomb.
''Then there is the curious political
phenomenon to note that thought the
individual Yankee is keen on the dol
lar, the United States moves on ideal
istic motives. No nation in the world
has a finer record in this respect"
