intprovement has perhaps been the course or studies modernized. Olf course many of our teachers are haril worlclng and sire their best, but the progress under pres. ont_ conditions seems siow.

Perhaps one of the best com- parisons one could make on con- soilldatlon would be to look at the benefits and progress achieved fmm our farmers cmopemting and consolidating their energies in the manufacture of cheese and butter, Before lS90 in this province nearly all cheese and ‘butter manuilactur. od was made in private dairies but with the introduction of cmopexet ive dairylng in the early nineties cianle pl‘0$l'9&~i and advancement which proved to he the salvation of the industry.

The idea. of nav-rng either a. cheese or butter motor-y at every mans door (as it were) becaimo up parent shortly alter the inception of the scheme, but looking over the ground covered wp can easily see what the outcome W118, namel, the small and poorly equipped fat; tory went to the will rfor lacik of support but where farmers were wide awake and ‘went in for oou_ solidation the inldustry became a success, and is one of the largest money making industries in our province.

Compare with the present, where we would be it‘ every dniryman had to manufacture his products inde- pendently; then ask ourselves why consolidation would not work in our educational system.

lllf we again llook at the ccimpnr. ison with tho daiiry industry we see that the largely ‘supported plilants tire playing the laingew: price for our products. Then if we have proved that thixen or four farmers cannot cooperate lo n}; gnerit an lltl'\'ltl’llll-§-{8 as u larger number would not the some rule work in our rilra-l -§:('h0\'}l.3.

LONDON. March s-riie nest»,

ttntions over the German indemnity were broken today. Action comes tomorrow with the march of Bri- tish, French" and Belgian forces into Germany and the occupation of a large section of her richest manufacturing country. Even now Allied troops are on the move for a late Berlin dospatch says rﬁifldih lroops,_which will occupy Dusseldorf, advanced within six mils» of that city. The Allied ultimatum was foreclosed ap- parently wlth reluctance by the Bﬁlllth Prime Minister. The French do not smear to be negret- ful. while the Germans left Lan- caster House, where the conferen- ces had been held plainly depress-i ed. They take their train for homo tomorrow. Two long sit-l bin-gs of the conference thrashed out rho ilnai break before Marshal Foch and Field llforshsl Wilson wrote telegrams ordering tho corn-l msnders at the front to execute. orders already given them.

Dr. Slmous presented an alter~ nate plan nmerobylcermany agreed zs pay the annuities for the first ilvo years demanded in the Paris plan and also equivalent to the‘ proposed twelve per cent tsxon exports, but clung to the conditions for the retention of Upper Silesia and svorld-wide freedom of German trade. |

Mr. Iiloyd-George, in delivering judgment for the Allies said ho deeply deplored the necessity of) the decision. While Dr. Simona} clung to the last to the contention that the Paris demands were im- possible for Germany to fulfill, the Allies regarded the German course as strategy for delay, and the latest plan one whereby the whole treaty would have to be reconsidered and debated after ﬂve years, when Germany might hold a more favor- able position.

Dr. Simona finally asked further time in which to consult the Ger- man cabinet. This was denied.

The French army will furnish the bulk of the forces for the new march into Germany. Great Bri- tain's contribution in mon will be orig." largo enough to show her sol- l-lurilv with tho 'll€r~s-.

'i - (‘ulieil til-lids government's attitude toward the new cuter- prlso is." awaited with interest. The general feeling in Great Bri- tain appears to be one of relief without enthusiasm.

The Prime iliinister explained the position to the House of Com- "nous tonight in a speech in which was no note of jubilation.

The majority of the British unwspﬂllcre have taken the line that the most important point in- volved was that the Allies should stand together, while the French press: freely voiced fears that Mr, Lloyd-George might desert France. All recognised that if Briand re- turned to Paris bearing the bur- rlouu of concessions to Germany hi. Premiership was doomed,
