Sir John Craig Eaton of Toronto, head of the T. Eaton Company, the largest retailing establishment in the British Empire, is dead after in illness of seven weeks. He was only 46 years of age. For Fifteen years he had been at the head of an im- mense establishment, employing in all 20,000 people. Prior to his ill- ness it had seemed that he was des- tined, barring accident, to reason- ably long life. Known to thousands outside of his business hy reason of his princely philanthropies, his love of and encouragement of all healthy and manly sports, and a variety of activities, he will be long remember- ed for his advocacy and practical il- lustration of the right of the worker to hours of recreation somewhat longer than was formerly the case. He knew personally many thousands of those in his own establishments and his free democratic manner and warm heartedness endeared them to him," His wife, four sons and one daughter, as well as his mother and a brother survive. The immense stores in Toronto and Winnipeg, the factories, distributing warehouses and mail order business from Monc- ton to Saskatoon in Canada, and the other Eaton establishments through- out the world, were all closed from the day of his death until the day after his funeral. LJ * The hasilica of the famous shrine of Ste Anne De shores of the St. Lawrence River, a few miles below the city of Quebec, has been destroyed by fire, this continent and the world will sympathise with the Roman Catholic Church in this great loss. The mir- aculous statue of Ste. Anne, known as the srine, was saved as were also a number of other precious relics, though some priceless treasures were devoured by the flames. It was at the foot of the statue that pilgrims knelt and venerated the relic, and when cured of -their illnesses left their erutches. It is expected that the building will be replaced. The monetary loss is placed at $1.500,- 000. * It is impossible to follow all the ® ue | Greeks to retain a monarchial form of government, * » i While in this country it will be {dificult to reconcile the previously expressed opinions of the allies in re- | gard to Turkey with their pew prop- osals for a sc.t.ement of the Near ody East problems, it is interesting to note that in Britain they seem to be well received. One may venture the opinion tha: statesmen there for the most part believe that the plan will have a good effect in India. The majority of the people there, the Moslems, are represented as having demanded coneessions to Turkey as the price of their loyality to the | British Race--the King. Overshad- owing this feeling perhaps, is the desire to be on friendly terms with France. That country has all along been opposed to a settlement that would fulfil the desires of Greece. Italy which is usually on the side of Britain has in this matter also been guided by a desire to see Greece lessen her ambitions and realiza- tions, Italian interests in the Ad- riatic and in Albania are cherished ramifications of European diplomacy which have led to the decision of the allied foreign ministers, confer- ring in Paris, to give back a great deal of her former territory to Turk-; ey. Most inexplicable is the deec- ision which restores Turkish sover- eignty over Armenia. The mem- orandum on that point assures the Armenians of the protection of the Leagues of Nations, and talks of finding them a national home. Un- less there is to he more material sup- port of the League in the way of armed forces, than there has been in the past, these promises are not likely to save the remnant of the Armenian race from extermination. Of course Palestine is not to go back to Furkish rule, nor is Mesopotamia or Arabia. But a great deal of Thrace is, so also is Smyrna, while Constantinople is to remain a Turk- ish city.

HEAD, ARM AND LEG ARE SEVERED West Huntingdon Saw Mill Owner: James Forsythe, Met Terrible Death His head completely severed from his body and his arm and leg cut off when he slipped on the carriage lead- ing to a saw in his saw mill at West Huntingdon in the third concession of Huntingdon Township, James For sythe, one of the best known resi- dents of the district, met instantaneous death on Wednesday morning last last, says the Port Hope Guide. What actually happened is not known. Mr, Forsythe was operating the large saw in his mill and appar- ently slipped upon the carriage which drew him to the saw, The head was completely severed from the hody and fell to the floor, one of the arms and | one of the legs being also cut off, Further details of the tragedy indi- cate that the unfortunate man was near the large five-foot six-inch cross- cnt saw getting out timber. A dog on | {the log carriage had been damaged! |and a block had heen put in its place. { When the carriage came up the dog | would cateh it, but the block failed | to grip or it slipped and Mr, Forsythe | selzed a canthook and leaned over in order to touch the block to make it work. Unfortunately the hook struck the saw, which was revolving at a very great number of resolutions per minute, and Mr. Forsythe was drawn down to the frame of the carriage. First his head was severed at the neck and the body after remaining rigidly upright for a fraction of a| second, fell across the saw, the chest | { diagonally and through the heart, The | next movement cut off the arm and the leg was severed, The horrible sight was wi*nessed by ; some of the men in the mill, there being four or five working in the place at the time. The saw was stop-| picked up. The head was found on! the floor below in the sawdust.

'Nurse Jane hung the dress out on the line to get the wrinkles out." "But how is that going to help us catch that rabbit?" growled the Bear. "This way," went on the Skillery Scalery chap. *'I'll sneak up there and with my floppy tail I'll flip a lot of mud and dirt on Nurse Jane's new dress as it hangs on the line. I'll spot that dress all over with mud! She and Uncle Wiggily will see it, and they'll be go surppised, standing looking at the spots, that you three can easily sneak up and grab them both if you want to?" "Uncle Wiggily will be enough, if we catch him," said the Fox. "He has the best ears for nibbling. The ears of Nurse Jane are too small!" "Well shall I flip mud on the dress?" asked the gator. 'Yes, go ahead, do it!" rumbled the Bear. "We'll give you a few ear nibbles if we catch Unele Wiggily." While the Fox, Wolf and Bear hid in the bushes near the hollow stump bungalow of Mr. Longears, the Skil- lery Sealery Alligator sneaked up to- ward where Nurse Jane's new dress was hanging on the line. Not far away was a mud puddle. Dipping the end of his flippy flop- py tail in the mud the 'gater spatter- ed a lot of dirt on Nurse Jane's new nine and ten cent store dress as it hung on the line to air out the wrink- being | es. Now, all we have to do is wait," whispered the Alligator as he crawl- ed behind the bush with the Fox, the Bear and the Wolf. "Pretty soon Nurse Jane will come out, see her dress all spotted, and she'll call Uncle Wiggily. He'll come out, too, to look at it. 'Then you three can sneak up behind and grab him." Well, the Fox, Wolf and Bear thought this was a good trick to play on the bunny gentleman, but I call it rather mean, don't you? Anyhow, pretty soon Nurse Jane came out to get her new dress to get ready to go to the movies. And as soon as she saw the spots of mud she raised her paws and cried: : "Oh, Uncle Wiggily! Come here! Come here! See what has happened to my dress!" "What's the matter?" asked the bunny gentleman from the shed be- hind his hollow stump bungalow, where he was putting gasolene in his auto. ped with all speed, and the remains 283inst Bir Oliver Mowat, probably all | = ered with spots!" cried Nurse Jane, "Come here and look at it!" 'Get ready now," hissed Alligator. "He's conning." "Oh, my dress! lovely dress," sighed the muskrat lady housekeep- er, "I never can wear it to the movies looking as it does! Come here, Uncle Wiggly, and see what has happened!" "He's coming the 'gator, But the stead of Jane: "Bring your soiled dress here to my garage. J have a lot of gasolene I'm putting in my auto. Gaselene will elean spots on dresses. I'll soon clean you:s for you!" "Oh, joy!" exclaimed Nurse Jane. Quickly she took the dress down from the line ond hurried with it into the garage. There Uncle Wiggily spread the dress out on one of the seats and with a rag dipped in gasoline, cleaned off every spot, "There you are!" cried the bunny as the last spot disappeared. "Run in the house, =lip your dress on and I'll come for you in the auto. The air will soon take away the smell of gasolene and we'll go to the movies." So Uncle Wigegily didn't come out of his garage at all to look at the spotted dress before he cleaned it. And a little later he hopped in his car, stopped at the bungalow to get Nurse Jane and they rode off to- gether, hefore the Fox, Bear or Wolf had a chance to get them. "Fooled again, and this time by Uncle Wiggily's gasolene!" growil- ed the Bear as the Alligator crawled away. So they didn't get the bunny after all.
