Admira of ihe who Paris, Feb. 1.â€"â€"ln addition to al- ready published lists of those who will be demanded from Germany by the allies on charges of violations of the laws of war, the Matin says Bel. [turn will ask for Dr. Theobald von Bethnrannaflollweg, former Imperial German Chancellor. while England will demand Admiral von Tirpltz, former German Secretary of Marine; Admiral Reinhardt von Schoer. ton mer chief of the German Admiralty Ital? and commander of the German fleet in the Battle of Jutland, and Prince Oscar of Prussia, fifth son 0! lormer Emperor William. British Release The statement that the Govern- ment's grant of $40,000.000 had been exceeded was vigorously denied by General Ross. In the first place, he said, no definite sum was mentioned. and, secondly, they would not require anything like $40,000,000, They drew‘ weekly what they required from the Finance Department. Judging from the figures given about as many soldiers were out of work in Montreal as in Toronto in January. There were 4,000 applicants in Mont~ real, who received $140,000 and 4.800 In Toronto who took $188,000. In the first week of January alone there were 17,000 applicants who bene- fited to the extent of nearly $600,000. The cost of administration was $6,737. It was the holiday season then, and first payments were made without much investigation, because it was feared hardship might be worked if officials were too strict. As soon as there was time every case was inves- tigated, until now the list of “renew- al’s”-â€"those who come back weekly for moneyâ€"is said to be almost wholly deserving. General A. E. Ross, C.B., who has charge of the administration of the fund, said on Friday it was fairly cer- tain the total spent would not be more than three millions. “The first month was our heaviest, and we re- quired just about a million dollars,” he stated. “The relief is withdrawn at the end of March, and the lists are much smaller now than in January, owing to a. thorough weeding out by investigators." A despatch from Ottawa say's:_In the neighborhood of one million dol- lars has been paid to ex-soldlers out of wOrk since the opening of the Federal Emergency Application. Re- turns from all Canadian. centres are not yet complete, but the estimate in- 'cludes the cost of administration as well as the unemployment amounts paid to the men.

Its object is to furnish light and power to the farmers of the rural section close to the $00. Last fall a deputation of farmers from East Korah waited on the Public Utilities Commission of the 800 and asked them to furnish the farmers within a radius of say five miles of the city with power. The Public Utitities Commission advised the farmers to erect their own tine and conduct the business connected with it themselves, and they would supply them with power to their line at the city limits. To commence with there will be 15 farmers using power fi‘om the new line. Arrangements are being com- pleted for the erection of the pole line by March 15.

In the last census 9,703 enumerators were employed, and next year the number will prob- ably be greater.

I Simultaneously with the receipt of nvord from Paris that a serum had Ween made by Dr. Charles Folley which would cure both influenza and f sleeping sickness came a report from Bellevue Hospital that a preliminary ireport had been issued from Mount ‘Sinal Hospital of the probable isola- ition of the sleeping sickness germ.

The soldiers visited the various points in motor lorries. They were in field kit with rifles and ammunition. In some cases searchlights were used to prevent any attempt to escape in the darkness and the ofllcers carried elec- tric torches. The Dublin raids began soon after four a.m., when heavily laden lorries began to pass through the streets in various directions. The streets were empty at the time and the whole thing was over before Dublin awoke from its morning slumber.

Joseph McGrath, Sinn Fein member of the House of Commons for the St. James’ Division of Dublin, also was arrested. FRENCH DOCTOR HAS FLU REMEDY The germ of Spanish influenza is said to have been isolated but no perfect serum is known to Lave been produced. Dr. Fouey, in Paris, produced the serum for the cure of sleeping sick- ness without isolating the encephali- tic lethargica germ at all, but by us- ing germs of influenza, which led him to assert that the two are twm dis- eases and caused by the same germ under different conditions. The same serum With which be cured many cases of influenza was found equally effective in curing sleeping sickness. This theory of twin gisease is borne out in the famous Mrs. Mlntz'case here, where the sleeping sickness followed a se- vere attack of Spanish influenza. Seven of the newly-elected members of the Municipal Council were amog those arrested. The military alone carried out the raid. To produce a serum to cure the encephalitis lethargica, as the sleep- ing sickness is known to science, it would be necessary to segregate the germ of the disease, as serums are made from the disease germs them- selves, the ‘live germs in the blood. being killed by the injection into the blood of the dead bodies of the same germs. The prisoners were taken in lorries to the barracks. More than twenty of the arrested men were placed in Mount Joy Prison. The arrests caused greatexcitement in the city. Whole Battalion.
