JEWISH PALESTINE ASSURED UNDER A BRITISH MANDATE Full Accord Reached Between liritain and Fiance With Regard to the Disposition of Turkish Territory in Asia Minor. Full accord has been reached be- 1 twecn Great Britain and France with regard to the disposition of Turkish territory in Asia Minor. As a result of negotiations betwean General Allenby and the French mission, the' status of a Jewish Palestine under a British mandate Ls assured, while France will have charge of Syria. This arrangement is by no means based on ethnical grounds, for the Turks form the majority of the population. But to leave the couii!:vy in their control after peace is finally conclud- ed would be to abandon the large min- ' critics of Christians, Jews, Orthodox Greeks and Armenians to pillage and massacre. The pcvers have therefore decideil to protect these minorities by the creation of new states. This is only a fitting punishment not only for the hideous outrages committed by the Turks during the war but for their ; centuries of misrule, cruelty and tor- ture. Under the new dispensation Turkey will lose even nioro territory than the Austro-IIungarian empire. I That partition of Turkey was in- ] evitable v as foreshadowed in the i terms of the armistice, which demand- 1 ed the surrender of all garrisons in i the Hedjaz, Yemen, Syria and Meso- potamia. Palestine already was oc- cupied by the British. The recent agreement between General Allenby and Premier Clemenceau confirms this view, for it provides that British troops shall be relieved by French forces before November 1 in all the area north of the frontier between , Palestine and Syria, except in the dis- tricts of Damascus, Homs, llama and Aleppo, and these, it was stated, would pass under French influence. These centres arc all on the Hedjaz railroad, which runs up from th« Arabian coast, back of the Judean hills about forty miles from Jerusalem and just north of Aleppo connects with the Bagdad railway, which is open to Constantinople, the Mount Taurus tunnel having been completed by the Germans just two v.'eeks he- forj the armistice. The Germans were particularly angry against the Turks for surrendering this fine tunnel, as long as the St. Gothari, on which they had expended large sums and employ- ed their best engineering skill for ycar.-i. Vi'hon Allenby entered Damascus he ended forever the German dream of an eastern empire-through control of tho Mohammedan world. They had hoped to send Turkish armies by this rovite to the gates of India, menacing the lifeline that connects the vast domains of the British Empire. Nov/ this ma iiificent artery of commerce with the oast parses into the hands of their hatc-d rivals. A secret treaty waj entered into be tween France and Great Britain in 19U) by which Syria and southern Asia Minor were to pro to France and .Arabia and Mesopotamia to England. Northern Asm Minor and Armenia were allotted to Russia. But this was superseded by a declaration published in the Palestine News, tho official journal of General Allonby's cxpecii- lion, just before the armistice last November. In it the statement was nriiide that France and Great Pritain have in view the complete and final emancipation of peoples so lone: op- pres.sed ijy the Turks and to e.s;.jb'!sh national governments and administra- t'ons based on the free will of the people themselves.

MANY AMERICANS MOVING TO CANADA 38,222 Settlers Cros.sed the Bor- j der in the Last Eight Months, i A despatch from Ottawa says: â€" I Immigration from the United States J to Canada for tho first eight months' of 1019 .shows an increase of 7,079, as compared with tho figures for thej same period last year. | From January 31st to August .Tlstj this year 38,222 persons entered Can-, ada as .settlers from the States, of Vvrhom 17,818 were of the farming, class, 11,009 being adult males, 3,308 adult females and 3,773 children under 14 years of ago.

RURAL TELEPHONES IN SASKATCHEWAN Rural telephone construction this year in the Province of Sasatchewan is stated by Mr. D. C. McNab to be slightly above normal, with conditions healthy and prospects bright. "While there have been years," said Mr. Mc- Nab, "ill which more rapid develop- ment has been made, it is estimated that from 7,500 to $8,000 new tele- phono mileage will be completed this year." The statement has frequently been heard that it is impossible to forecast the development in a city or town, and therefore not practiical to plan com- prehen.= ively fo.- its future growth. Unfortunately, places in this cou.itry have been unplanned from tho be- ; inning, and by treating additions and developments in piecemeal fashion, a chaotic growth has occurred, resulting in the above erroneoj. deduction. The leading cities in the United States have recognized the dangers and harmful consequences of unregulated expansion, and have been adopting regulations as to use, districts and building restrictions." â€" Saskatchewan Municipal Department.
