Then tin; Man woke up to t!ie I^act that he Must Cut Down the Tree. The Mail Order habit, like a Deadly tree, has Fastened its Koots on our Comnuinity Life and is robbing Us of Thousands ot Dollars each Year.

LESS THAN 80,000 CANADIANS TO COME Better For Her. "How's your husband getting along, Mrs. Fogarty?" "Well, sometimes he's better an' soiiiotlmes he's worse, but from the way he growls an' takes on whiu he's better, Oi think he's better whin he's worse." RID CANADA OF ALL BOISHEVISTS Government to Deport Revolu- tionists and Agitators of All Nationaiities. A despatch from Ottawa says:^ A blow at Bolshevism was struck in A blow at Bolshevi-m in Canada was struck in Parlianien to-day when a bill was passed (giving the Govern- ment power to deport red-eyed revo- lutionists, an.-.rchists, agitators, riot- ers and all persons who by word ot act advocate the overthrow by force or violence of the Governments of Great Britain or Canada, or by word or act create or attempt to create any riot or public disorder in Canada, ot who without lawful authority assume any power of government in Canada. A record for lightning legislation was established w'nen the measure was given all three readings in both Houses of Parliament, and received the Royal assent all on the same day â€"indeed, the whole thing was done in less than an hour. Support in both Houses was unanimous. This sudden action on the part of the Government is taken to mean that constituted authority will no longer tolerate conc'iions such as those pre- vailing in Winnipeg for the past few weeks. The Government at last has derided to have a showdown, .ind agi- tators of the stamp of the Winnipeg strike leaders are to bo summarily dealt with. The wording of the new clau.=e â€" "Every person who by word or act," etc. â€" is sweeping, and pro- vides that the authorities can arrest a man on suspicion and deport him on the first ship. An unusual feature of the clause is that it empowers tiie Government to deport British sub- jects. M sIpTosses 3,500,000 TONNAGE I .Sunk, Captured and Seized by I the Allies During War. i A despatch from Loudon says: â€" j Vice-.A.dmiral HoUweg, writing in tho Vossische Zeitung, estimates the Ger- I man mercantile marine "oefore the war at a gi-oss tonnage uf live and a half millions. In the four and a half years of the war about three-quarters of a million tons were added, little more than the output of a single normal year. During the wai' about 1,000.000 tons were captured by the enemy, of which 325,000 tons were, taken on the high seas. Two and a half million tons took refuge in neutral harbors, but as neutrals came into the war the great- er part of this was lost. To Spain a total of 22,000 tons and to Holland 38,000 tens were given in compensa- tion for losses due to the U-boat cam- paign. He estimates th.at, in all. Germany lost about three- and a half millions of gross tonnage during the war.
