A despatch from Paris say.^- â€"It is expected in French circles that the discussion of the German peace treaty will open about August 10th in the Chamber of Deput.'os, and will con- tinue for three or four days.

TO PA.SS UPON KAISER'S GUILT considered to have political reasons for delay. But it lis generally biliovcd that M. Clemenceau will be able to bring about a speedy consideration. As Japan is supposed to have a copy of the treaty by this time, and the Openings for trade in Mthich Carada might well participate are being more and more found, sometimes in unex- pected places, in European countries. The Canadian Trtide Commission quotes the following Interesting tacts from the report of the British Econo- mic Mission in/Serbia: â€" "What Serbia needs Serbia is able to pay for. This may seem strange, but It Is a fact that, apart altogether from indemnities for the damage done during the war, the peasant population and shopkeepers have plenty of money â€" in dinars and Austrian crowns. The explanation is simple. The people in the country during enemy occupation spent little or nothing on luxuries and all the while were rsceiving high prices for their goods and produce. They have sold but not bought, and are now in a position to buy largely. Payment in a form acceptable to the manufacturers would be a difficulty, and much benolit would follow tho es- tablishment of a local British bank. 19 SUNKE.V ENEMY W VRSHIPS ARE READY SO P.E SViA'AGED A despatch from Berlin says; â€" A state tribunal is to enquire into and j ready ratified the treaty, and tho sign- fix the responsil)il,ity foi the war.

Mr. Long saiil work was pro- ceo<ling on three other destro.veii. He said there was no intTation of holding a court of encpiiry. paper money from circulation, and to replace it with State paper money of the Kingdom of Serbia, Croatia and Siavonia (Jugo-Slavia). This State money will be in dinars and be under Government guarantee. The rate of conversion will be 30 dinars per 100 crowns. The total value of Austrian crowns now in circulation In the new Kingdom is estimated at about eight milliards. Other arrangements are being made in regard to a central ex- change office. The population of Old Serbia is about four millions, and of Jugo-Slavia ten millions. It is a backward coun- try, but one with great possibilities. The people as customers Incline, first of all, to England, and then to the Al- lied countries; failing England and the .\llies they must go back to those enemies with whom tliey used to trade and by whom their methods are well understood. If merchants and manu- facturers wish to establish a footing In this market they must take steps at I once to organize the necessary sup- | plies." LASTING MEMORIAL TO GLORIOUS DEAD A despatch frofn London says: â€" The cenotaph to "the glorion.s dead" in Whitehall, now of plaster, will be done in marble, as a permanent mem- orial.

As ^)ointed out so(ne day.i ago. an earlier calling of se?s en than wiis at first contemplated wi'l be necessary owing to tho lapse of the War Meas- ures Act (and the orders in Council passed under ,it ) on the proelomation of peace.

Everybody who has used a telephone knows exactly what is meant by the following description of the way a cer- tain person talked over the wire: The man at one end had become thoroughly exasperated, and asked his friend if he were losing his hearing. His friend was an Irishman, and re- plied: "I can hear you all right till you begin to talk, and then I can't un- derstand a word you say."

A ewe owned by a M.idlands farmer has given birth to five lambs, making 14 in three years. A general strike was ordered in Limerick as a protest against the recent military proclamation. The Department has revoked th-3 order prohibiting the landing of hay and straw from across the Channel. The annual business meeting oi the Stewart Institution.

When the Howth train was near Sutton Cross, it struck two horses which had strayed on the line, killing both. The sudden death is reported of W. H. Hussey, ex-d.'strict in.s.pector R.I.C.. and formerly head detective at Belfast. During March last, one hundred and eighty-six persons left Ireland, as compared with eighty-five in March, 1918. It is reported that lack of Cjjpital is responsible for the abandonment of the scheme to develop the Bally- castle coalfields. The Secretary to the Treasury says that he cannot see his way ta give a bonus to pensioned Irish Na- tional teachers. Of the two posthumous V.C.'s re- cently g'ven by the King, one was to the mother of Lieut,-Col. Jcha Marshall, Irish Guards. SALVAGE WORK DANGEROUS. Crews Face Death in IVIany Ways Tcy_ Ing to Save Ships. Salvage crews face death in man.,« ways trying to save the vessels sunlc in the war by German Hubmarino:*,' says a London despatch. One of the most perilous incidents of this service was that of a navy commander who cut away the nose of a live torpedo • that had become jammed in the deck of a destroyer. So dangerous was tho task that the naval authorities towed tho destroyer threu miles out to sea before they would permit the attompt. • The salvage work has advanced very rapidly and become very profit- able. Submersible lifting devices, , never before thought ot. have been do- vised and put into successful opera- tion. Dangers from gases due to de- • caying grain cargoes have been elim- inated by scientific research. Diving appliances have been greatly im- proved. ^ Tho cutting of steel plates under • water is now only a detail and tho construction ot the standard hatch tc cover holes in huils has reached the . point where it Is now merely a part of the day's work of the salvage m:m.
