THEATER FOR
SOLDIER BOYS
PARIS, Dec. 11 The Palais de
Glace, in Paris, which the V M. ('. A
opened as ail amusement place for
American and allied soldiers, is hidden
among the trees in the Champs Klv
sees. and had long been one of the
world-famous skating rinks. It was
opened in October, and is going to be
a life-saver to the lonely boy who has
no money to spend in expensive mu
sic halls. The theater in this palace
seats 1.300, and every afternoon and
every night there is s“meothlng do
ing." And it is open to all.
The tired French poilu. the British
Tommy, the Polish legionnaire, the
Grt«k anybody on the allied side can
walk up to the counter and refresh
salad and sandwiches, alongside of
his hungry body with hot soup and
the American boy. The shows are ab
solutely free to all men and women in
the uniforms of the allied nations.
Tim weekly program is made up of
two professional boxing matches, two
vaudeville shows given by Broadway's
best talent. Chicago’s latest hits and
San Francisco's popular teams; one
religious evening, beginning with
movies, anti one night a week at in
formal talks and interesting lectures
j about Franco. Thes audience at
these educational nights arts phenom
enal, proving that our soldiers want
to learn about this wonderful country
in which they fought.
The Palace do Glace is under the
direction of Dr. Thomas W. Graham
of Minneapolis, Minn., and Miss Eliza
beth Gilman of Haltlmore, Md„ who
runs the canteen with the assistance
of four other American girls in the
uniform of the Y. M. C. A.

FARMERS GIVEN
FINANCIAL AID
IN DOMINION
——
WINNIPEG, Canada, Dec. 11 The
financial resources of Western Can
ada arc being placed at the disposal
of farmers in the prairie provinces
of Manitoba. Saskatchewan anad Al
berta. where grain farming will more
than ever lie the chief industry when
the eighty thousand soldiers of the
three provinces return from overseas.
Mortgage companies and chartered
banks never were more aide to
finance stalde industries in this
stretch of country, about $100,dud,000
being available for immediate use
through such Institutions. Besides,
the federal and provincial govern
ments are making extensive plans
for extendinig financial aid.
The immense possibilities of the
prairies as a food-growing country
have been carefully considered by
government o cials. Not only will
vast tracts be made available to the
soldiers on a homestead basis, but the
federal and provincial governments
will give financial assistance in equip
ping the new farms with proper ma
chinery. Imng term loans will be pro
vided through rural credits systems.
Extension of manufactures, as well
as agriculture, in Western Canada, is
anticipated. One of the first ques
tions taken up by the inter-provincial
conference which has been in prog
ress at Ottawa was the transfer of
control of natural resources of the
prairie provinces from federal to pro
vincial governments. It is urged that
the transfer, for years an unsettled
matter, would make it possible for
individual provinces to develop min
ing and other industries on their mvn
initiative.
At Estevan. Sask.. for instance,
there are huge deposits of seft coal
ami a movement is already under way
to establish several tug factories in
the district for the purpose of utillz
ing th<* coal.
