"FORGOTTEN HOW TO PLAY." 'War, cruel and unrelenting,' has laid ffs heavy hand upon the des feniceless and innocent women and children of Europe and Asia. Un- told millions of them have perishel in hunger, pain and cold, There is something peculiarly sad abot the suffering of little children. God intended them to be frolicsome---the diving poems of life. Therefore to many no singles item of news that has been received from Russia will so touch the heart of all lovers of children, or paint so vividly the pleture of national dis- integration ag the announcement in a letter just received from a Y. W. C. A. worker in that' country that Russian "children have forgotten how ito. play. "These children," writes this jwoman, "have geen so mitch of sorrow that they have for- gotten they are children." The instinct of play in children, puppies, kittens and all other young creatures is so strong that it over- comes hunger and cold and misery. It "is. the antidote Tor every iH of life. TE 18 the great and arniversal symbol of the survival of life itself. If the children of Russia bave forgotten how to play, they have for« gotten how to live. The piteous state of the children of Russia is the gravest revelation™of the, intensity of 'five crisis that has paralyzed the {1ite of the country under the de- structive regime of the Bolshevik,' RIATS OF BOLSHEVISM.

That is what has happened in Russia, and the example ought not to be lost upon the thinkers and workers in other countries. Turning to what Bel shevism has accomplished for Russ sia, we find a sad state of affairs, indeed. -It* has had free rein there for fourteen months, and here is holw one' observer 4 up its achievements: THE 'Hthe train pulléd-out, * said McDonald | +1 should judge, was travelling about! happy and | MADE AN HEROIC EFFORT: TO BAVE JAMES DEVINE, Kill, ED. : BY FREIGHT TRAIN, on mast Attempt to got 4 n HT 8 tale or ear while it wa wition™ 8 nder the rales, every| on who .did so was liable to al ine 'not exceeding $40. . : x - Verdict of Accidental Death" Ren. | dered by Jury in Sad Fatality at Kingston Junction Sunday After. *noon, | PUBLIC OPINION The story of the . heroic attempt | Alexander McDo Jd, car foreman for! the Grand T Raflway, made to save the life James Devine, who met death on Sunday afternoon, atl Kingston Junction, when he was run over by a treight trail, was told to} Coroner Dr. D. E. Mundell and : jury at the inquest held on Monday | afternoon, at S. 8. Corbett's under- taking parlors, to enquire into &he circumstances surrounding the death of Devine, Two witnesses were call- ed, Mr. ' McDonald, and Samuel C. Wright, agent for the Grand Trunk Railway, in this city, after which the! jury, of which J. W. Bradshaw was foreman, returned a verdict oF '"acci- dental death." McDonald said he was at the outer station Sunday afternoon at 1.15 o'clock, when a freight train was pulling out on its way east. i "1 saw Devine standing on the west end of the station platform as| to the coroner. 'As one of the tank! cars passed him, he ran and grabbed | the 'grab fron' with both hands, He tried to get on the running board, but - whether his clothes prevented him or not 1 could not say, but he! 11ell, but he still managed to keep his 'hold on the 'grab iron.' The train, | eight or nine 'miles an hour at this time, and he was dragged along the track, I noticed the predicament he wag in, and ran and grabbed him with both hands of the back of his neck, 'and continued to run along! the platform, half suppor ting him. shouted®to him, 'Let go,' but he paid! no heed to me. By this time, the train: was commencing to pick up| speed, travelling about eleven or| twelve miles an hour. As we neared! the end of the platform,' 1 realized | that we would both be dashed against | the stand pipe, so I made a big en-| deavor to tear him away from his | hiold oni the iron. As I did so, my | heavy leather mitts slipped off tie | collar of his coat, and I fell on. the platform.

'Samuel C.

Canadian Copyright, (Toronto News) One reason why Canada is de- pendent upon the United States for its moving pieture entertainment is found in our 'antiguated, rickety, and stupid copyright act. If a Can- adian writes a scemario and sells it in the United States his royalty re- ceipts depend entirely upon the goodwill of the producer, merely because We have no law relating to modern forms of reproducing ideas: Parliament shoul examine the question at the next session.
