Mr.. Wilson asked permission to
present the following aspects OF the
matter: French has bccn the Ian
guage OF European diplomacy. but
we have now reached the beginning
OF n new era and enter upon world
diplomacy. 1t is hardly decisive to
follow European precedence which
gives the French language this posi-
ton. Tho language oe the other side
OF the globe is English. and this is n
congress OF the world. Moreover.
the greater part OF the people repre-
scented in this congress use the Eng
lish language. lie sincerely doubted
whether any American when looking
at this document I'm French would
he satisfied that IL was an exact cx-
preston of the decision of the CON

New Elements in Diplomacy.

Mr.. Wilson also pointed out that
IL was proposed to have a perma-
nent Secretariat for the conference
and this was one more reason why
the documents Of this Secretariat
should be in both languages. More
over. should another minority lam
guage be admitted, others would have
TO be included also.
lie ventured again to lay stress
upon the fact that new element
has been introduced in the diplomacy
% the world by the entrance Of a
new power speaking English. For
these reasons he urged that both
English and French be made the Of
fetal language Of the conference.
Mr.. Lloyd George submitted a
proposal providing for the use of
French and English as the official
, languages of the conference, and for
the reference - the League of Ma
tions for dc".sion OF any question Of

After some general discussion the
Chairman read tho text OF Article
3, and put tho question as TO whether
II was approved. He referred to the
fact that French had been tho Of
fetal language Of the Versailles Con-
ference Of tho Intcr-Allied High
Commission.

Mr.. Lloyd George observed that

English had been the official text.

NJ. Pichon referred 20 the fact that
the resolutions OF the Versailles Con-

NJ. Clemenccau admitted that he
was sidcrably embarrassed. He
saw the Justice OF the claim that the
English language was the language
most commonly spoken throughout
the world and that u has carried

would point out that French has

ALWAYS DANGER FROM DUST
Wheat Flour, In Particular, is About
as Powerful an Explosive
as Gunpowder.

The housewife when making hel
pies and cakes seldom reflects that
flour is as dangerous nexplosive as
gunpowder. If the contents of a six
pound sack of wheat -four we're dis
tributed through the air of a good
sized house, the lighting of match
would blow up the building. Twice
the quantity of -four mixed with
1000 cubic feet of air in closed
place would, if ignited, generate
enough force to throw $500 tons
to height of 100 feet. What is
the reason for this? When -four is
distributed through the air Of a
room every particle of it comes in
contact with the oxygen of the air
consequently it burns instantane-
ously on being lighted. A great
quantity of gas is generated sud-
denly, and in trying to expand in
closed place bursts the walls Of the
room. Grain dust is not alone in its
explosive tendencies, for metal dust,
rubber dust, sugar, cork and paper
dust act similarly. During the last
two and half years dust explo-
sions in Canada and the United
States have caused the deaths of
nearly one hundred people and de-
stroyed more than $10,0O0,00O
worth Of property.
