(Special to The Guardian)
ST. JOHN, N. B., May, 28—That
the proposed establishment of one
central university in the Maritime

the deplorable effect of leaving no

nion voiced by Sir Douglas Hazen,

night. i
Sir Douglas said the plan had
grown out of reports submitted by
experts from the United States

Roman Ruins In
Amiens Laid Bare

‘PAIRRS, May 27 — Between the
post war. commercialism that is
gripping France and the great
housing shortage, the country. has
narrowly escaped losing one of
the finest Gallo Roman ruins yet
discovered. ,

‘In the course of — replacing of
houses which were destroyed: by
the German bombardment in the
Rue de Beauvis in. Amiens, work
men discovered bas reliefs on an
cient tombs, sections of columns
and pieces of sculpture, all in a
good state of presetvation. Local
archaeologists who examined the
find prononced the place the site
of an ancient Gallo-Roman edifice
of great dimensions.

The owners of the property then
interrupted the researchers and
ordered the buiding wolrk continu-
ed. This was done despite the ef-

ltorts of the archaeologist, and the

ruins were quickly buried beneath
a bed of concrete,

The archaeologsits then present-
ted a plea to the (Mayor of Amiens
who transmitted ‘it jthrough the
prefect of the Somme to the Min-
ister of Fine Arts. The work of
building was ordered stopped, and
it appears now that the State wiil
take charge and see that the ruins
are excavated.

‘The Signalling School in Sum-

Lumber Trade
Is Improving

(Special to The Guardian)
_ 8ST. JOHN, N.B., May 28—Busi-
ness along the North Shore of New
Brunswick is picking up, especiai-
ly in the lumber trade, according
to W. G. Miller, of the Canadian
Government Merchant Marine staff,
who returned to the city last nighi
from Campbellton, where he has
been for the past two weeks in
connection with the loading of the
steamer Canadian Trooper. Mr.
Miller gaid today that the mills
along the Miramichi were working
full blast and employing a large
number of men, and that the oper-
ators were geeting a good price
for -their product. The big mill
of the Shives (umher Company
was sawing 5600 logs a day. large amount of lumber was being
shipped overseas, although part: of
the shipments belonged to the Im-
perial Governmetn and were stock
that they bought at various times.

(Special to The Guardian)
PARIS, May 28—The Committee
of International Bankers in session
here this evening served notice on
Germauy that further consideration
of a biilion dollar loa to the Ger
mas Goyernment is. virtually out of
the question until] Germany accepts
in full the conditions of the ultima-
tum of the Reparations Commis-
sion which expires May 31st, aud|
yalso gives adequate guarantees that
inflation of Germany’s currency
will. be stopped immediately. The
committee then decided to adjourn
until May 81st to await the deci-
sion of Germany.

The conclusion of the bankers
was arrived at during their meeting
this afternoon; which was attended:
by Karl Bergmann as representa-|
tive of Germany. Bergmann imme-|
diately telephoned the decision of/
the ‘bankers to Berlii.

‘In reparation circles tonight the}
view was advanced that the action;
of the financiers probably would re
sult in complete acceptance by Ger;
many of all their conditions. — Iti
was further stated that acquies-|
icence by Germany,in,+ the repara-
‘tions commigssion’s. conditions prob-
ably would be productive of a loan
of more than a billion dollars, since
the bankers have determined that|
a large loan could be arranged wi
der these circumstances.. ‘The fin.
anciers completed their inquiry i \
to the state of Germany's finance
at this afternoon's session, and it
was explained that they had reacb-
ed a point where Germany’s guar-
antees must be forthcoming before
the committee could discuss the de-
tails of loan, the security for it and
many points.

The bankers will take advantage
of their adjcurnment till next Wed-
nesday to get in touch with their
respective countries. The Euro
pean members of the committee
may return to their homes for v
day or two, but all those attending
