f re * 7 Story of Roman Occupation Recalled at Scots Ceremony Memorial Unveiled on Site of Fort and Camp of Trimontium, Regarded as Largest Permanent Stronghold of Kind in Britain Edinburgh. â€" A memorial stone was unveiled recently at Newstead, near Melrose, to mark the site of the Roman fort and camp Trimontium, the largest permanent stronghold ot its kind which has been found in Great Britain. The camp was established by Agricola about 80 A.D., and Newstead Tillage ia said to be the oldest inhabit- ed village in Scotland. The surround- ing country is pastorally beautiful, the Tweed winding past on the north, while to the south are the Eldon Hills. The memorial-stands In an alcove on the south side ot the road between Melrose and Elarlston and about a mile and a half east of Melrose. The Earl ot Home presided at the opening cere- mony and Dr. James Curie superin- tended the excavations, which were carried out by the Society of Anti- quaries between 1905 and 1910, and is the author of that monumental book. "A Roman Frontier Post and Its Peo- ple." Trace Outline of Fort After removing the Union Jack, with which the stone was draped. Dr. Curie said that when they began to dig there in 1905 the fields had been furrow^ed by the plow for centuries. There was nothing to suggest, even to the trained observer, that the ground had ever been the scene ot military occupation, or that there stood there a Roman fort ot unusually large dimensions. All they knew ot the site was that there lingered about it the tradition ot coins and ot altars found and ot a pit discovered where now the railway runs. . When the digging came to a close in 1910 the site had responded to their somewhat imperfect questioning and had revealed to them not a little of its secret. They were able to trace the outline ot the fort, its lines ot ditches, its enclosing walls; to plan its central headquarters building, flanked by storehouses, its long line of barracks, the baths which stood outside the walls, and the annexes oc- cupied perhaps by traders, by veter- ans or by Caledonians held in sub- jection. They were able in a measure to reconstruct Trimontium, the site to which the soldiers marching from the south were guided by the triple peaks of Eildon. The plan of a Roman fort was somewhat stereotyped, and not a few sites exhibited parallels to the plan- ning of Newstead, but he thought it could fairly be claimed that no site in Britain had brought them more clearly Into touch with the men who formed its garrison, or had suggested more clearly the tragic happenings which more than once brought its occupation to a close. Tribute to Dr. Cui'le The monument which he had had the honor to unveil reproduced, in form at least, the altar which Gaius Arrius Domitianus, the centurion of the Twentieth Legion, dedicated there to Jupiter on these fields some 1800 years ago. Dr. George Macdonald, in paying a striking tribute to the remarkable work ot Dr. Curie, said that through his admirable researches they had been able to recover the outlines of Trimontium's trouble life. About 100 years separated its first foundation from its final abandonmeut. In the interval it suffered many vicissitudes. When Trimontium was evacuated tor the last time it was because the Cale- donians had made good their claim to independence. The stone, however, was not a war memorial in the ordin- ary sense of the term. The events to which it related had long passed into the domain of history. The mon- ument was historical and it was his- torical in two distinct ways. In the first place the spot it marked played a conspicuous part in the Roman en- deavor to subjugate their country. In the s'econd. the exploration ot that spot formed a notable landmark in the study ot Roman Britain.

Jan Christian Smuts, leader of the Op- position in the Assembly, was vigor- ously applauded in a memorable speech on the secession ques;i.in.

In one sense we are tree to do Generosity and Sportmanship The outcome ot the Wrigley Cana- dian National Exhibition swim was a keen disappointment to Canadians. Lake Ontario took a hand in the con- test and defeated every one of the two hundred swimming gladiators who entered the contest. The $35,00 prize money, according to the rules that governed the contest, was left in the hands of the donors â€" the Wm. Wrigley, Jr.. Company and the Canadian National Exhibition. These two great organizations gave a demonstration of generosity and sportsmanship rarely seen on this old earth in deciding to divide up the money among the fourteen who swam the furthest and made the best time. Each of them received $2,500.00. No group of individuals living can please everyone, and naturally both among the contestants and the public many were loud in their protestaions of the manner in which the $35,000 was divided. Apparently they entirely overlooked the fact that every dollar given was a gift, as none ot the con- testants had completed the swim. We believe, therefore, we are expressing the views of the public generally when we sate the dividing of the purse was a wonderful demoustration of gener- osity and sportsmanship. It did not end here, for along came Mr. Allan Ross, of the Wrigley Com- pany, with a further demonstration of generosity and sportsmanship "that will make the world sit up and take no- tice." Mr. Ross and the Wrigley Com- pany augmented the gifts ot four ot the contestants by giving them $2,000 each and one ot them $1,000. Hats off and three rousing cheers for Mr. Ross and the Wrigley Company! No wonder Canadians are proud ot their country, their citizens, and the business institutions of Canada.

I Rural Britain to Be Preserved From Vandals Beautiful Landscapes to Be Under Protection of Local Committees London. â€" It is proposed to establish a Devon and Cornwall branch of the Council for the Preservation of Rural England, of which Lord Crawford is president, and Prof. Patrick Aber- crombie. the Liverpool regional plan- ner, the honorary secretary. Lord As- tor. wlio has for so long been closely associated with the town ot Plymouth, is taking an interest in the movement. Already on parts of the coast, as, for example, at Duporth. disorderly de- velopment is ruining beautiful land- scapes. In some ca.ses ugly hotels have been erected, disfiguring the pro- file of the coast, where the essential part of the natural charm is its re- moteness. The threatened spoiling of Dartmoor and South Devonshire is, of course, the result ot the masses ot English people being able to move out so easily and cheaply from the town into the country. But the very ease of the this mass movoment increases the value of the natural beauties of the countryside and makes it the more imperative to take action, so as to keep certain areas free from build- ings. Already valuable work on these lines is being carried out by the Thames Valley Branch, of which Lord Astor is chairman, and in East Kent by a committee initiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The first step is always to make a survey of an area and to prepare an outline scheme of development. In this general plan are clearly marked possible new roads and land that should be kept open. The committee for Cornwall and Devon, when it is formed, will also no doubt pay special attention to old bridges, the preser- vation of the character ot old high- ways and ot ancient buildings. Ad- vertisements and petrol filling stations are also to be controlled. From Laborer to Landowner in One Season Harvesters Pool Savings and Buy Quarter Section Farm in Manitoba â€" Chums From Durham, England, Work Their Way Up â€" Family of One and Sweetheart of the Other Will Come to Can- ada. Winnipeg, Oct. 1.â€" Two British har- ! vesters who came to Canada six weeks ago have adopted the Dominion as their home and will remain in West- ei;n Canada as farm owners, havin-g bought a section of land with the pro- ceeds earned while working in the harvest fields. The men are Jack Wilson and Fred Wells, both of Durham, England. They I accomplished the jump from harvest hand to farm owner by pooling their money earned wh.'j harvesting: and buying a quarter section of land from the farmer for whom Wilson had ' worked. The men had $225 apiece, and the sum needed to procure the ^ land was $450. They immediately ' gave their wages to the farmer and now Wilson is leaving for England to bring back his family and Wells' 1 sweetheart, and will settle down in (Canada to become Canadian citizens. I Another British harvested, Thomas j Hamilton, who is returning home after j working in the harvest fields of the I West, plans to return in the spring to work as a regular farm hand and to ultimately becom-^ 'a Western farm- er on his own." "Treat the farmer right and he'll treat you right," declared Hamilton who also stated that he was much sur- prised when the fanner he worked for drove him thirty miles to a dance."

Ji ELEVEN EXECUTIONS Vienna, Oct 1. â€" King Zogn, recent- ly elected monarch of the Albanians, is closely guarded in his palace at Tirana, while trusted Albanian and Italian police agents are trying to round up plotters against the new re- gime, say uncensored dispatches which have just leaked over the border of the mountain kingdom. The dispatches describe the country B& being in a state of alarm, which in some placoi) approaches terror. They state that eleven persons were execut- ed yesterday at Durazzo, and that 200 others were arrested there at the com- mand of Zogu himself. The executions are said to have taken place in the market space of the dilapidated sea port, which is only 25 miles west of the capital. Tho movement against the throna is reported to be widespread. The fact that it has reached Durazxo is taken as confirmation of this because the entire situation is said to be an out- growth of an uprising which started a fe'w weeks ago in the mountains of Northern Albania. That uprising had its birth in the murder of one of the most conspicuous of the mountain chieftains, who was found dead in bed. His followers attributed the assassina- tion to men hired by the new king, and they declared a blood feud against the monarch. REFUSE TO ACCEPT ZOGU A full regiment was sent into th« northern mountains, but reports havt it that two divisions of troops have now been mobilized because a majority of the northern Albanians refuse to accept Zogu as king. Most of the northerners are Roman Catholic Chris- tians, while Zogu is a Mohammedan. Thus far nothing has come through to indicate that the Greek Ortbodoj Christians in Southern Albania have a mind to join their co-relifdonists of the north, but some observers here are predicting the possibility of rebellioua outbreaks in that region also. Because of the turbulent rx>ndition3 of the country, it is stated that his coronation probably will be postponed indefinitely. Commission Will Return to India Greatest . Unanimity Exists Among Members, Says Chairman Londonâ€" Sir John Simon, in a speech at a luncheon at tbe Aldwych Club, referred to the work of his commission which leaves for India for its second visit. The commission was appointed by the British Gov- ernment to study conditions In India with a view to recommending to what further extent self-rule can be grant- ed. The commission spent three months in India last spring. Sir John emphasized the immense responsibilities of the British Parlia- ment to the peoples of India. Despite the initial boycott, eight ot the nine provinces liad decided to co-operate with the commission. The ninth had not yet finally decided its attitude. The Central Indian committee chos- en partly by he Council ot States and partly nominated from the Central Legislature of India by the Viceroy, expected to accompany the commis- sion through the provinces on tha forthcoming visit. Sir John continued. The Speaker said about five hun- dred memoranda have been received by the commission from all sorts ol bodies In India and elsewhere, giving their views on the existing Indian- constitution. The greaiest unanimity existed within the commission. Sir John emphasized. Hawaii Sets Wolrd's Record For Per Capita Use of Sugar Canning of Hawaiian pineapple con- tinues to require the greatest propor- tionate amount of sugar used any- where in the world, according to the ninth annual edition of Farr & Co.'s manual ot sugar compaules. With a population of 330,000, Hawaii last year consumed 33.000 tons of sugar, or 200.4 pounds per capita. With a world population of 1,680,090.000. eon- sumpUon of sugar totalled 24,139,200 tons. "• The Vnlted States, with its 113,600,- 000 Inhabitants, lust year consumed 6,$85.500 tons of sugar, the largest amount taken by any one country, an average per capita c(tU8umption ot 112.21 pounds. China, with a popula- tion ot 400,000,000, used only 790,000 tons of sugar, a per capita consump- tion ot 4.19 pounds for the year.
