No! Is Jake Vodell in need? No! It is not the imperialistic leaders in these Industrial wars who pay the price, It 1s always the little Bobbies and Maggies who pay. The people of America stood aghast with horror when an unarmed passenger ship was torpedoed or a defenseless vil- lage was bombed by order of a ruthless Kaiser; but we permit these Kalsers of capital and labor to carry on thelr industrial wars without a thought of the innocent ones who must suffer under their ruthless policies."

Bill to Amend Crown Land Acts Brings Up Question Fredericton, N.B.,, April 2.--The New Brunswick House of Assembly again heard discussion on the ques- tion of long term timber land leases. Statements regarding the matter were made by the Govern- ment and Opposition leaders. The subject came up during discus- sion of a bill to amend the Crown Land Act, making it discretionary with the Government to charge a transfer fee of $20 per mile or more, in the event of a transfer. The fee heretofore has been a flat rate of $20. Hon. A. A. Dysart, Opposition leader, contended the provision would mean that every effort would be made to obtain the lowest rate named. He would prefer a slid- ing scale on the principle of col- lecting succession duties. The lands were an asset of the province and these holding leases were merely trustees. They could mot rightfully object to giving the province a large share of profits obtained through no exertion on their part. The recent north shore transfer had indicated what profits were made. In the case of the Bathurst transfer it was the long term lease policy which had made a profit possible. Premier Baxter reiterated his statement that no company had any promise of long term leases and could not expect them unless the Government was assured of the sin- cerity of that company's inten- tions, On the other hand, New Brunswick could not afford tn take action which would tend to Oxfords.

The skin was drawn tight over the high cheek bones and the eyes were wide and star- ing. His young body that pad been 0 sturdy was gaunt and skeleton- like.

The keen autumn air that had put the flush of good | red blood into the cheeks of the golfers at the country club that afternoon whirled about his bare feet and legs with stinging cruelty. His thin lips and wasted limbs were blue with cold. Turning slowly, he seemed about to re-enter the house, but when his hand touched the latch he paused and once more un- certainly faced toward the street. There was no help for him in his home. He knew no other place to go for food or shelter. As the boy again looked hope- lessly about the wretched neigh- borhood, he saw a woman coming down the street. He could tel, even at that distance, that the lady was a stranger to the Flats. Her simple as it was, and her veil marked her as a resident of | some district more prosperous than that grimy community in the shadow of the Mill. dress, A flash of momentary interest lighted the hungry eyes of the lad. But, no, it could not be one of the charity workers--the charity ladies always came earlier in the day and ys in automobiles. Then he saw the stranger stop and speak to a boy im front of a house two doors away. The neigh- bor boy pointed toward Bobby and the lady came on, walking quickly as if she were a little frightened at being alone amid such surround- ings.
