CANADA'S WAR PREMIER
Is TO RESIGN OFFICE

OTTAWA, Ont, July g. Sir Rob- ert Laird Borden, Canada'S war pre- mier. definitely announced at a Unionist party that he had definitely decided to retire from office. The pre- mier's decision was regretfully ac- cepted by the party No definite choice of a successor has been made.
 The caucus decided to form a new political party to be known as the National Liberal and Conservative party,
 Sir Robert Borden became pre- mier of Canada in 1911, when as the leader of the Conservative party he defeated Sir Wilfred Laurier, the Liberal premier. in a national cleo tion in which reciprocity with the United States was the chief issue. The Conservatives were elected on a protectionist platform.
 The governments term Of office should have ended in 1916, but owing to the stress of war the election was postponed for over year. An at tempt was then made to form q Unionist party to carry on the war. It was hoped that Sir Wilfred Laur- fer and his followers would unite with Borden. Laurier refused to fall in line. diSagreeing with Borden on conScription, the latter being in fa- vor of it. But many of his fol- lowers did join the Conservatives n q Union government. This latter O. ganization was elected, carrying all provinces but Quebec and Prince Ed ward Island.
 After his reelection, Borden forced the c,rscription issue, a law having beer passed the previous summer With the signing of the armiSicN' I.o, oen took an active part in n" drafting of the treaty of peace.
 He won his point in fight to have Canada represented as a nation in the League of Nations, This move was sharply criticized by many Americans who claimed that it tended to give the British empire too great a representation.
 Borden has been seriously Ill since his strenuous days at Paris.

CARPET BAGGING SYSTEM
 SHOWS UP BULLDOZING

BUCHAREST, July g. That the carpet bagging system known to the South after the Civil War has been applied by the Rumanians in their new provinces of Bessarabia, Bukovina and Transylvania, is the burden of com plaints that the minority population of these provinces are sending to the al lied governments. It is charged that these provinces have been loaded up with dishonest civilian officials, who work in connection with the Armies of Occupation to bulldoze and terrorize the local inhabitants. It is even charged that the wealthier landowners are being arrested in the hope that they will either desert their lands and sell their homes, far under the real value.
 According to Dr. Nicholas Lupu, re- gently Minister of the Interior, the Ar my of Occupation in these provinces should long since have been removed. After four years of war soldiers re- spect the rights of nobody's" he said.
 In Bessarabia, where the army is kept as protection against the Dol ,heviks, the charges of mal-adminis- tration have been many. 1t is stated that here the army has also prevented the just operation of the law provid- ing for the division of the land.
 The gravest charges come from Pennsylvania and the Hungarian from tier, where the nationality bitterness has long been deep. On those members of the Hungarian nobility who have persisted in remaining on their estates they are not permitted to receive vis- itors or mail except by permission of these soldiers. Many instances are cit cd where the head of the house has been arrested and SO harassed that he had to flee, leaving his home in the possession of his wife and daughter, much after the manner of the Russian and Polish landholders during the

PAYNE TALKS
 ABOUT NORTH

SEATTLE, July g. "The govern
 ment is ready to develope Alaska but can do nothing without settlers, per- manent settlers being the chief need.
 With working population, Alaska's development will solve itself" This was the substance of an interview giv- en today by Secretary of the Interior Payne who is here on his way to Sew ard. Secretary Payne further said: " think there is no danger, as feared by some, that Alaska won't be deyel- oped and that the railroad we are building will be useless for want of traffic. Congress has just appropria- ted one million dollars for develop mcnt of the coal fields there and that is our main object of making the pro- posed visit to the north. Under the leasing law, the government is pre- pared to exercise the utmost liberality in encouraging the opening of the ter ritory but Alaska must attract and keep more settlers just as the west had to attract the pioneers in the ear ly days"
