At noon the troops had approached to within a mile of Pettigoe without drawing the fire of the Southerners who were engaged in the evacuation of the place and of the hills which dominated the main road along- the line of march of the troops. While on the Free State side there was com- plete silence, the greatest activity was displayed by the approaching col- umns, with manoeuvring cavalry, and specials in motors and Whippet tanks flying the Union Jack.

Ma tie The aux Renewed interest in Ontério’s Pro- vincial University and its needs has been aroused by the publication of a series of b'/‘.letins issued by the Alumni Federation of the University of Toronto. One of, these bulletins refers to questions asked by some who are interested in the University as to why the expenditure formaintenance should be so much greater than it was seventeen years ago, before the re- organization which took place in 1906. In reply to these inquiries it is point- ed out that. for some years previous to 1906, the Provincial University was, admittedly, starved. It was literally in a dying condition. To remedy this state of affairs the Royal Commis- sion of that year recommended greatly enlarged government support and this was forthcoming. Then the Provincial University began to expand and to‘ offer the.typ-e of education demanded Mayor Frank Plant was busy this afternoon and evening arranging for the meeting between the men and the Government. It was finally suggested and agreed to by the men that a com- mittee of 12 of the marchers would go into the Railway Committee rooms of the Parliament Buildings and con- fer with the Prime Minister, Right Hon. W. L. Mackenzie‘Kinvg; Hon. Dr. Belanidi, Minister of Soldiers' Civil Re- esta'blishment; Hon. James Murdock, Minister of Labor; Hon. Geonge P. Graham, Minister of Militia, and Her- bert Marler, M.P., Chairman of‘ the Committee on Pensions and. Re- establishment. The army on entering the Exhibi- tion grounds numbered 278. According to “General” Riley they will not ‘be allowed to leave the Exhibition grounds till the interview with the Government is arnanged. Mayor Frank Plant, who addressed the men in How- ick Hall on their arrival, offered his services in arranging an interview with the Government. “General” Riley also addressed the men. Then an ex- cellent dinner was served.
