because 1t looked very much for a
time as though upon President Poin-
cares departure from the Elysee
Palace next month he might either
have to take hall bedroom in some
hotel, provided he could get one, or
else camp out in the Champs Elysees.
Preceding the war Poincare pos
sessed three homes in France, in addi-

sees Palace during his seven years
term as president.
Unfortunately all three OF these
houses were within the war zone.

something far greater and far more
important,
It is due to the sublime, almost
incredible fact that M. Poincare has
found a house. ..
In the present crisis of flats and
apartments at Paris, anyone who can
succeed in landing one is looked upon
by the remainder of the. houseless
Parisians as a being endowed with
the genius Of the gods.
In succeeding in finding house,

j. In talk with the United Presss he
explained that he, not Noske, evolved
the idea of sucha police system which
is already organized in Berlin and
which is being formed in other cities
throughout Germany.
This police force looks like SOL
diers. It carries rifles, hand gren-
ades, policeman's billy. And, it
travels in sets Of four or five.
Its organization has been found
effective, Heine explained, and he be-
lieved that the rest of the world, with
theexception Of France, was willing
to have it maintained in view Of the
fact that it had proved Its worth as a
preventive against internal troubles.

said the minister" was the tremend-

number of whom possess rifles, re-
volvers and even machine guns. The
old police failed badly on some occa-
sions and some were, and are, killed
every week."
The force has proved effective in
dissolving illegal meetings and other
wise, said Heine. Most OF the men
are about "a years Of age, and are
carefully selected for daring and re-
liability. Professions are made for a
certain amount Of training Of these
men, and also it is arranged that, If
they Of police-soldiering, they can
enter other lines Of government ac-

"There are about 10000 such po-
lice in Berlin now," said Heine.
"Other groups are being formed thru
out Germany. This will leave the
regular army Of 100000 free to keep
Bolshevism from spreading through

LIFTS HANDICAP FROM DEAF
knowledge Of Lip Reading Restores
Afflicted e Their Place In the
! Industrial World.

Deafness is a tribulation, but its ef.
fects are more psychological than
physical. Deaf men as a rule have less
difficulty in getting jobs than have
men with more obvious handicaps. The
real handicap in deafness is that It is
more calculated to inspire impatience
than sympathy, and as a consequence,
deaf men grow suspicious, irritable
and complaining. The deaf man Is q
trial to himself and to the world, and
he walks quite alone. Communication
Is the one thing that can restore him
to normal contracts.
In order to effect this the Modern
Hospital advocates lip reading as his
Immediate necessity and salvation If
he Is to maintain a wholesome place
in the world Of industry.

that a person who can hear, cannot
learn It.
There Is a wide variety Of industrial
conditions which contribute to deaf
ness. Because Of these hazards, the
industrially employed form an exten-
sive problem. Without training they
are not only liable to discomfort and
unpopularity. but they are a source Of
risk because Of their inability to under
stand orders. From two points Of view
the deaf have a great need for a
knowledge Of lip reading, ard should
learn 1t at all costs. It fits them for
an independent, useful career in in
dustry, and in many ways re-estab-
fishes an intimate connection with nor.

French Gold Held
In London May
Be Shipped Here
Plan to Send Part of
$4OO, 600, 600 Deposit to
Meet Anglo-French Loan
Is Under Consideration

France may meet It's obligations In
connection with the Anglo-French loan
Of $5o0,0000oo which natures next
October by arranging with the British
government to release some OF the gold
which France deposited in London in
1915 and 1916 as collateral against
British loans to France, 1t was learned
yesterday.
Despite the fact that an unofficial
cable from Paris reported that such
arrangements had been completed, It
was said at the French Financial Com
mission that It's members had not yet
been apprised Of. such an agreement
although it WAS known that negotia-
tions were now being conducted be-
tween the French and the British gov
ernments regarding the part each
should pay in the meeting OF the
AngIo-French loan, which j. Austen
Chamberlain, British Chancellor OF the
Exchequer, has announced would be
paid off, and not renewed.
Before the United States entered the
war, when France was borrowing heav-
lily from Great Britain, the Bank Of
France placed gold in London as col
lateral, and the British gave sterling
credit to the extent Of three units Of
credit to one Of gold. According to re-
cent Bank Of France statements, this
mately 1978,300,000 francs (roughly
s40O, ,000).
A dispatch from Paris said positive,
ly that some Of this gold collateral
would be freed to be used by France
in connection with the Anglo-French
loan, but this could not be confirmed
locally. Those informed of the situa-
ton, however, said it was possible that
the British had agreed to have the
French substitute securities for gold
that they might wish to withdraw to
settle French Indebtedness to Ameri-
can investors.
and France would ship at least $780,
100000 Of gold alleged to have been re-
ceived from Germany. bankers were in
credulous, and denied that they had a
high probability of truth. A repre-
sentative Of the Bank of France here
denied that France has received any
gold from foreign country since the
signing Of the armistice, and bankers
estimated that Britain received hardly
more than 500 100000 of gold from
Germany in the payment Of foodstuffs
under the Spa agreement, under which
the United States received S172 100000.
Bankers also made light of another
report that $250,000,000 of gold from
overseas was now on the high seas, as
serting that, in order to do this, under
the regulations of the underwriters, it
would be necessary. to send fotilla
of twenty-five ships,

Ontario increased in value from S14,-

according to a report issued to-day by
the Ontario Bureau of Mines. In me-

from $3.50 ,178,059 in 1918 to $l1,510, ,742
in 1919. The total decrease was from

required in the same quantities now as
when the production Of munitions was

The total gold production of Ontario
FOR 1919 was 505,967 fine ounces, worth
Slo,45l ,66s, the largest output to date
aHd an Increase of S112,429 over 1916.
ontario's gold output now exceeds that

tofore, the extract per ton being $3.50
