THE SRA. There seems, at first view, little of the romantic and picturesque about the modern floating hotel or gigantic freight carrier on the ocean. Man is prome to think that the fure has gone out of the sailor's kfe, and that navigation nowadays is a mere tech- nical part of the machinery of. com- merce, It js true that the ships are bigger and stronger than ever before. There are no°pirates abroad io fear, and all that solence has been able to accom- phish has been done to make ships safe But adventure, peril and romance remain. Whether a Great Lakes freighter laden with wheat, suddenly shifts cargo and founders while her crew leaps for the lifeboats, or whether a cargo of unslaked Mme on a ship out of an Atlantic ports starts an unquenchable fire, the risk fs there. It 3 not unusual for. an Atlantic #ea captain to report a derelict, The case of the Marie Celeste comes in- course. Not a soul was eboard. Her log was missing, but there were evid- ences that she had not been long de- serted. No trace of any of the Marie It bresents one of the great mysteries of the mother of antmate life, the seq. WOODMAN SPARE THAT TREE} A lineman seated in a little swing slung high over the street was trim- ming branches off a tow trees, for the purpose, mo doubt, of clearing the wires. From his airy perch his reach was strictly limited, which accounts for several stubs and broken left in his wake. These were certainly neither beautiful nor desirable, forming, in fact, a real menace to the health of the tree. Evidently it will bear repeating that in pruning trees the 'branch should be cut off almost flat against the trunk or larger limh from which it epripgs. When this ts done, the bark tan easily grow over the wound. A stub takes longer to heal, and is likely to die and rot. Then ddcay 'would skid in that climate any- may spread into the body of the tree with fatal results, much as blood- poisoning in a man's arm will do if not prevented. Kingston without its beautiful big maples and elms would not seem ke the same city. So it is up to us all to treat them well. Of course, it is less troubles to hack off a Mmb than to trim it off properly, but it ds a very short-sighted policy, Would it not pay in the end to have any pruning which the telephone or Hydro com- panies may require Performed by ex- perienced treetrimmers, with the yaa apparatus 0 make a decent -- AIDING TURK'S VICTIMS. It fs estimated that one m!llion Greek and Armenian Christians will be forced out of eastern Thrace by the terms of the agreement made ty the Allies with the Turks. Practic- ally all of these people wilt be with- out means to care for themselves, and &f they do not perish it will be on account of the help they receive from charity. It is said that half a million people have allready sought refuge in Greece, and this number may be doubled be- fore long. It is tmpossible for the Greek nation to maintain these ex- patriated peoplé, and the problem of caring for them temporarily must be solved by such nations as are able or willing to respond to the appeals for 'help. The Anglo-Saxon nations have never refused to extend help to suf- fering peoples of any land, and ald may be expected from them. There ¢s good reason to believe thet non-Moslems will find existence even more intolerable under the rule of the Turks in Europe, and it is 'feared that the Turks will enter upon a systematic effort to exterminate any Christians who rémain in the territory that is about to be returned to their euthobity. It 4 not surpris- ing that Christians are trying to es- cape from the lands allotted to the Turks, 5 The half-million refugecs who are sald bo be trying to get out of eastern Threce evidently have little faith in the ability of the Ales to give them the protection which is sought for non-Moslen peoples én Turkish terri- tory. If they value their lives they will get out and take chances on edtiablishing themselves fn some other land. : Itis a Sorry speotacle that the weorild is witnessing in the Near East. The Turk has the dominating hand Britain has dome her part on behalf of the Christian peoples, and it is to be regretted that France, Italy ahd the United States have mot stood by stantly to mind. She was found ship-' shape, taking en unsteered zigzag in that section of the worl. Great | line, but the Quebec publeists have tried to make the people of the other provinces of Canada believe that it was 80. - Now, however, they are.be- ginning to find that thelr provision of blessing es they imagined, for with the coming of the automobile traffic in greet volume, the roads are show- ing distinct signs of wear and tear, and the maintenance costsarémouni- ing to a'very large figure. The cause for this, the. Quebec road experts point out, is not so much the great amount of automobile traffic,"as it is the great speed at which the cars go along these good roads. The speed- ing care, it 9s said, do far more dam- age to the roads than even the heav- fest of truck traffic, and the provisica of roads which have become motor speedways has not proven to be so profitable a venture as was antici- pated. } In this there is a lesson for the motorisis of Ontario. The provincial government és hard at work provid- ing a network of good roads for the province. In some quarters it is be- Ing criticized, on various grounds, but particularly because of the ex- penditure. The motorists of the province, however, are well satisfied with the roads which have been com- pleted, and when the whole system has been surfaced and put in ts fina] condition, we may expect an influx of travellers by road s'milar to that ex- perienced by Quebec. The point for the motorists to re- member, however, is that these roads will not last for ever. The weafr and tear on them will be very great, and 4, as road experts claim, fast travel: ling eutomobiles are the greatest ourse of the road bufldens, then it is the duty of the motorists to do their part in preserving the surfaces of the roads by using moderation in their speed. Much more pleasure can be had by driving well avithin the limits of the law, and df the motorists would consider that when they drive at a (igh rate of speed, they are not only running the risk of being punish- ed for exceeding the speed mit, but are also helping to shorten the life of the roads which they are using, there will be little complaint regard- ing the too rapid disintegration of the moads of Ontario. THE WAR OLOUD DISPELLED. When the signing of the Near East agreement by the Turks and the re- presentatives of\ the allled nations, the war clouds which have been hovering over Europe for the past month have been dispelled, and there are hopes that the conferences which are to be held before the end of this year will clean up the vexatdous ques- tions of the status of Turkey and Greece in such a manner that Europe will be able to settle down to peace- fu} conditions once more. Thepe is still a fear, though not a very grave one, that Greece may object strenu- ously to the agreement by which Tur. key is to be given back the territory taken from her and givem to Gmeebe at the conclusion of the late war, and Greece may even threaten to fight for that territory, but there ds noth- ing to show that Greece is in a posi- tion to back up such threats, and the &tuation is one in which nothing can be gained by playing a game of bluff. The final settlement of the Near East question is not altogethet one which fs favorable to the Allied na- tions. Had any man, three years ago, suggested that Thrace, Constanti- nople and other parts of European Turkey would be given back to the Turks, he would have beén looked upon as a maniac, or a man who knew nothing4of the plang and pur- poses of the Allies. But the unex- evitable, has happened. .It seems as if Great Britain and her Alles have made great sacrifices for the sake of peace. Many people, who have war itke and jingoistic tendencies, openly ldeclare that the sacrifice has been too great. But the test of @ nation's greatness lies not in fis conquests, but in the manner in which jt uses its power in dealing with smaller na- tions. Hed Great Britain been dog- matic and determined to use ite power in forcing the Turks to yield to every demand made, the world would ere now have been plunged into another great and terrible war. But the Mother Country choose the wiser course. The Turks had oer- tain rights, and eo long es the funda~ mental and long debated question of the freedom of the Dardanelles and the etraits has been sattled exactly in accordance with her derfands, then the British not worfy a pected, and, unfortunately, the in- 5 BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY i GIVE GOD THE BEST: -- Honor the Lord with thy | substance, and with the 'first fruits| good roads has met been so great a 13k oll thine mer vase--Proverds 3.1 the final estimate of the whole affair, {he wil be the one man who will be | considered es havicg emerged from [it with full eredit, || ALONG LIFE'S DETOUR | BY SAM HILL Has Us Guessing.
