CanadaEast and West Dominion Happenings of Other Days. Expulsion of the Acadians. As the first of November 1755 approached a grim tragedy was Si enacted in Acadia an act that even to this day has never been clearly ex- plained and around which great con-| troversies have been waged. "An ex=| pedition from Massachuttes had in-| vaded Acadia during the earlier part| of that year and it was claimed by the victors that many of the Acadians| had been found in the ranks of the French. This they denied but they hesitated to take the oath of allegi-! { ance to the new rulers of the land. So} | there was friction between the parties refrained | although the Acadians from saying or doing anything of a turbulent nature.

The League of Nations is the first honest attempt to set the laws of morality against and above the laws of political opportunism which until now have guided the destinies of na- tions. If it succeeds a new era will dawn in the world; if it fails the world will slip back into the old grooves of war and land grabbing and distrust and national jealousies. RUMANIA AND HER TIONS, It has been said of Rumania that she has all the problems of the Bal- kans to puszle over and some addi- tional ones of her own. It does not seem as if all her troubles were set- tled with the signing of peace. Ru- mania is the largest country in or immediately connected with the Bal- kan peninsula, and is made up of the provinces of Wallachia and Molda- via, which were formally united un- der the name of Rumania in Decem- ber, 1861, together with such other territory as she can secure by barter with her neighbors or by foncession tot powerful friends. Rumania forms a sort of geogra- phical link between the Bast and the . Owing to her position it has always been necessary for her to maintain good relaions either with the Central Powers or with Russia. This was the question she was faced with at the outbreak of the war, and it was overshadowed by one of even more importance that {t was obvious- ly desirable that she should befriends with those that would hold the upper hend at the close of the war. Single- banded, Rumania can't wage war against one of the Great Powers. Like all other Balkan people she tried to use the war as a stepping stone to aspirations which she has had for many decades. She has want- ed to extend her national boundaries, ASPIRA- side--of realizing these ambitions. This external territory which she has '| long sought to annex consists of Bes- sarabia, Transylvania. and the Dob rudjs. Bessarabia was wrongfully ad- ded to Russia dy the Treaty of Buka- restored to Moldavia. Rumania was badly treated by Turkey for her as- sistance in the wars of 1877-1878, and by the Great Powers at the coun- efl table of Berlin, Rumania Uept te of the first Bal i and the war gave her the opportu-| nity--if she came in on the winning rest in 1812, although after the Cri-/| mea war the southern part of it was | blow at her old treated her with such brutal violence, invaded the new republic of Austria, and in spite of the warnings of the Allies occupied Vienna, committing some excesses in that city and taking all supplies on which she could' lay her hands. The new Rumania is a much'en- larged Rumania. She hag more than realized the ambitions which she has nursed for more than a century, but there are large minorities within her borders that will have to be treated kindly and with perfect justice if they are to be assimilated. Rumania must not antagonize the Allies who have treated her generously, for she cannot stand alone but under wise guidance she can build up a solid and prosperous state that will go a long way towards assuring the peace of the Balkans for all time and in this way the peace of all Europe.

LUMBER PRICES UP | i There is a Shortage and the People Are Soaked. { Within the last month an advance! of $10 per thousand .feet has been! made in the price of high grade lum- | ber. One and one-quarter inch pine og is now seeling at $112 per thousand and there is a possibility of an va, crease in the price of best grades) of spruce. Several reasons are ascribed taal the new prices, among them being | the very heavy demand for lumber | for building purposes. In this con-| nection it is pointed out that the | United Kingdom has persistently! asked for Canadian lumber, but ow- ing to the scarcity of stock orders | for overseas shipment could not be] filled. As the result of the inability of Canadian wholesalers to meet the overseas demands, plans for the erec- tion of wooden homes in Great Brit-. ain cannot be carried out. However the expectation is that there will be great activities in the bush and that lumber supplies next summer will be adequate. Many soldiers of the cross do not wear their uniform outside the pray- ér meeting. High moral ground, as taken by {some people, may be nothing but a bog hole.
