Don’t miss . this 2vening’s entertainment. S. S.

Bth.—For the first time in history the complete cure of leprosy is announcad. Twenty patients have been discharged from the Kahili Hospital and after several months of observation no recurrence of symptons is noted. Dr. A. L. Dean, President of the University of Hawaii and a distinguished chemist, has succeedad in isolating the active prin- . ciple in Chaulmoogra oil made from the seeds of a plant whieh for some time has been rocognized as beneficial in the treat- | ment of leprosy. The medicine is en- closed in capsules and injected into the . muscles. Scars of the disease remain. | but its ravages are at once checked, . Trea'ment is carried*on exclusively by . the United States Public Health Service. - Ot:awa Dec Bth.—'*You can buy ships, you car build ships, butships donot make | anavy. The all-important thing in a . navy and indeed in the mercantile marine is th2 personnel. You cannot get a navy | without the expenditure of a great deal | of time and a great deal of work,’’ said - Lord Jellicoe at a banquet tendered him - onS:zturday evening by the Navy League. | Continuing, he said, “‘one of the strong- ~ est taings about the British navy was its ~ system of loug serviee. It was the sys- | tem of long training which enabled the ~ navy toexpandasitdid during the war be- caus- we had the highly craimmed nueleus ol aruchbiggerfleet than existed atthe comraencement of the war. Very few peop.e realized, that probabiy the Grand Fleet was practically a iraininag service through the war”’. Speakinz o pre-war days he said: ‘'We 'in the navy have, 1 think, realized what was coming. At any rate we did our bes: to prepare tor it.. We knew how hard the Germans were working for efficiency, and officers, and men rose to che occasion’”’. fe spoke of nine years’ training to turn out a first elass naval officer and went on, ““Now I want o get the people of Cana- da to realize that noching but the firsc class article is of any us:. It isof uo use to have a second class navy. I am not speaking in regard to numbers, but in regard to its efficiency. Whatever Canada decides (o do in the tuture, 1 only hope and pray that it will be of the first class. Asap example of a really first class artiele, he held up for his audicnces inspection the record of “"old contempti- bles”’, from ihe heroic work of which army he thought Britain had an import- ant lesson to learn’’. That ‘‘old con- - temotible army”’, be said, ‘‘by means of its splendid self sacrifice saved civiliza- tion bocause it was a very first class army’’. Paris, Dec. Bth —The Allies have con- sented to modify some of the terms of the protocol putting the Peace Treaty into effect, to which Germany has made no objection. The clause providing for indemnity for the dest uction of the Ger- man Fleet at Scapa Flcw, has been modified so as to refer to the Hague tribunal the question whether the dejiv- ery of the tonnage demanded will ¢ripple Germany, it is understood. The usder- standing also is that the other features ot the protocoi most objectionable to the Germans have been eliminated and the expectation here, is that the German ple- nipotentiaries will sign the protoeol with- out much furtner delay. The final par- agraph of the protocol, providing that even after the Peace Treaty has gone into effect the Allies might use military measures of coercion to en- sure the execution of the Treaty’s terms, has been eliminated eative ly, as also has the clause relating to the evacuation of the Baliic provinces by German troops. The imvutation of responsibility to Germany for the sink- ing of the Scapa Flow- Fleet is left ia "&e protocol, according to the best informa- tion obtainsble, the Note to the German plenipotentiaries regarding the signature of rhe protocoi serting forth the allies position as indicated, will be kanded to Baron Von Lersner, head of the German Mission, this atternoon.
