The so-called national park* of the world are not national save In name. They are no more national than ia good music, classical literature, beautiful pictures. They belong to the world. We people of Canada feel that the beauty spots within the United States that have been designated as national parks belong to us as they belong to you. They are but placed jwithin the keeping of the people of the States. We feei and we hope that the people of the- United States feel, that the beauty apots of Canada that have been designated as national parks are as much your parka aa they are our parks, that they are merely placed within our keeping for the use of all. Beauty ia inter, national, regardless of the form in which It is expressed, and national parks are but the natural beauty spots of the world preserved for the people of the world.--J. B. Harkin, Commissioner, Canadian National Parks Branch, Department of Interior, Canada. •HRfflf'EXPECTEDM Brussels.--The former German emperor, William II, now in exile at Doorn, Holland, is preparing to return to the fatherland. He already has in his hands passports for himself and his suite, un<l the Brussels Gazette goes so far as to say that it is expected the Hohenzollern moftarchy will be restored on 4, William, or his son, the former Crown Prince Frederick William, ascending the throne. Private advices from Doom, received by the Agence Telegraphlque Beige, say a courier, Von Hoeelist, arrived at Doorn at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon with twelve German passports for the ex-kalser and his immediate entourage. A telegram la cipher was received there In the morning, and early in the afternoon there was a long conference between William and those close to him. Later a high Dutch official, Dr. Kan of the ministry of the interior, called and was closeted with the former emperor for thirty-five minutes. A wireless system has been installed at Doorn house, which has heen the residence of the bead of the Hohenzoiierns during the late years of his internment In Holland, and messages are received from ls>uen at noon dally. Paris.--The reports that the exkaiser Is ready to return to Germany reached Paris at midnight, and high officials were Immediately advised. It is understood that a stiff note will be sent to The Hague warning the Dutch government that it will l»e responsible f<>r the gravest circumstances if the former kaiser Is permitted to leave Holland. Berlin.--The pities have demanded the immediate delivery of former Crown Prince Frederick William for trial as to his war guilt. The demand iH contained in a note protesting ft gainst his return to Germany, according to well informed diplomatic circles in Berlin. Wmrod Has Paok of Felines to Irack Gam. Sure Relief FORMMGESTION la agreed In name; By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN COMPLETION of the Banff-Wtndefi^V % mere motor highway across the central Canadian Rockies sharply emphasizes the fact that the national parks movement is just about the livest non-polltlcal issue of the times in Canada as well as in the United States. An increasingly intern!* ttoual aspect is its latest development. On both sides of the moat remarkable frontier in the world It that national parks are national only that natural scenic beauty is lnternptlonal; that there are no barriers between parks save those placed by nature; that larger development of roads should give the people of the North American continent easy access to the most., splendid recreation region of the globe. It is a credible prediction that the near futuva will see a system of national parks from Mount McKlnley in Alaska to Grand Canyon in Arizona under a working international agreement that will make it "a unique continental exposition of Inestimable value science and to the popular education of future generations," as well as a > vast scenic playground for the people. The Immediate effect of the opening of the 104- mile, two-way Banff-Windermere highway, mailing passage by automobile possible through the central Canadian Rockies, is that It completes a 500- tnlle circuit of Rocky Mountains, Yoho, Kootenay and Waterton Lakes National parks in Canada and connects this circuit with the National Park- ' to-Park highway tn«the United States--a gigantic motor way that circles 6,000 miles through nine scenic western states and touches Mount Rainier, Crater Lake, Lassen Volcanic, Yosemlte, General Grant, Sequoia, Grand Canyon, Zion, Mesa Verd#, Rocky Mountain,. Yellowstone and Glacier National parks. The Canadians call tbe highway from Banff to Lake Windermere and on to the international line at Klngsgate the Banff-California Bee-Line highway because it keeps right on across a corner of Idaho to Spokane and Portland and thence south to San Francisco and Los Angeles, a distance of 1,831 miles. They call the other half of the "Grand Circle tour" the Banff-Grand Canyon road; this crosses the international line at Peskan, Mont., just to the east of Waterton Lakes and Glacier National partes. The formal opening of the Banff-Windermere highway this summer at the point where it crosses the Kootenay river was an International affair of considerable pomp and ceremony. Old Glory was much in evidence. The baftd played the national airs. A notable assemblage was in attendance. Dr. King, Dominion minister of public works, welcomed the guests. J. Roes Eakin, superintendent of Glacier National * park, was the official representative of Secretary Hubert Work of the United States Department or\ the Interior. The speech-making emphasized the International importance of the occasion. Then the lieutenant governors of Alberta and British Columbia, Dr. R. G. Brett and Walter C. Nlchpl, cut the r^d, white and blue ribbon across the road and automobiles started east and west amid cheers. ... • ; " motor highway projects on either side of the international line are important in this connection. One is a nearly-completed road that will connect Buffalo park at Wainwright, Alberta, by way of Edmonton with Jasper, largest and farthest north of the Canadian national parks. It *4s being built on 300 miles of abandoned roadbed J-pf the Canadian Northern, from which the government tore the rails In the World war to send to France. Another road is nearing completion from Lake JLoulae to Field In Rocky Mountains. This runs «n an old roadbed of the Canadian Pacific across tie Continental Divide. In time it will be carried through to Golden on the Columbia river. A proposed Canadian scenic highway through the heart of the Central Canadian Rockies runs directly from Banff to Jasper park, 125 miles In an air |ine, connecting at the base of Mount Robstm aft the headwaters of the Fraser with the )Buffnlo-Jasper road just mentioned. Three road projects in and about Glacier In the United States have international interest. The National Park service has begun construction pn the Transmountaln road across the Continental t>ivide from St Mary's lake to Lake McDonald. Its completion will bridge the last gap In the National N Park-to-Park highway by uniting tbe east entrance (Glacier Park) and the west entrance (Belton) of Glacier. It also supplements the All-Canadian circle by a United States- Canadian circle much smaller than thje Grand Circle tour. The second Is the road being built by Montana to parallel the Great Northern along the southern boundary of Glacier, closing the present gap between through east and west highways at this point. The third project Is the Improvement by the United States government of the Babb International Boundary road along the east side of Glacier. In accordance with a decision by the comptroller general that the entire cost of a state aid project through an Indian reservation may be paid from the funds apportioned to the •states under the federal highway act the Montana state highway commission has submitted as a federal aid project the Improvement of this road NO INTERNATIONAL LINE The trtmendoua and Increasing tourist travel of the last few years > ia proof of the appeal to the people of the North American continent of their national parks. The United States and Canada stand together in making more contented peoples by getting the public into the great outdoor ecenic exhibits with which both countries are supremely blessed. We live in peace and friendship on the most remarkable political frontier in all the world. But in scenic Beauty there is no international boundary line at all, no barriers save those placed by nature. The extension of our National Park-to-Park highway across the border by the opening of such splendid connecting links as the BanfF-Windermere highwey will be followed, I sincerely hope, by the larger development of national park roads in both countries until the two peoples are given easy access to the finest scenic attractions of the globe--Stephen T. Mather, Director, National Park Servios, Department of Interior, United States. the importance of an "unique continental exposl tiou" and requesting "the people and the congress .of the United States and the people and the parliament of the Dominion of Canada to secure such amendments of existing law and the enactment of such new laws as will give to all units In. the international parks system complete conservation alike." The international parks system Idea has found much favor In both countries. The friendliest co-operation exists between Stephen T. Mather, director of the National Park service of tht United States (photograph No. 2), and Commissioner J. B. Harkin of the Canadian National parks (photograph No. 4). In the United States the idea has been generally accepted by the "National Parks Army of Defense," which has ap> proximately 4,000,000 members in affiliated nation* wide organizations. The National Parks assocla ation, a leader in this army, is promo tug it "I thoroughly approve an International parka system along the line and for the purpose set' forth by the A. A. A. S„" said Mrs. John D. Sherman of the General Federation of Woman's clubs--they call her the "National Park lady" In Washington. "The general federation is energetically active in promoting national parks as 'National Museums of Native America' and in bringing about legislation for their complete conservation. Its national council at its last meeting passed a resolution similar In effect to that of the A." A. A. S." In Canada organisation Is well under way. The Alpine Club of Canada, which has twenty branches. Issued a general invitation to a meeting in the fall at Lake Louise at which was organized the National Parks Association for Canada, with directors representing the Dominion from Montreal to Vancouver. Affiliation with organizations sf'many kinds is proceeding rapidly. Here Is a situation which, shows the need of 'Cdheerted international actfon for the protection of national parks against commercial invasion: A bill will presumably be Introduced in the Sixtyeighth congress for the damming of Lower St. Mary's Take, Just oatside Glacier. This will raise the level pf Upper St. Mary's lake. Just inside Glacier, one of the most famous beauty spots of Glades, and destroy much of its beauty. Threefourth's of tbe flow is to go to the Milk river Irrigation project of Canada. Two years ago the International Joint commission was induced by Irrlgationlsts to recommend this project, but neither government cared to act in the face of popular protest. The bill per se stands no chance. But the Canadian Irrlgationlsts are planning to dam tfco Canadian end of Watertou lake, which lies across the International line. This would spoil the pail of the lake In Glacier. An "exchange of water" has been arranged to further the two projects, all of the St Mary's lake flow to stay in the United States in return for all tins flow to Canada from the Waterton lake dam. Glacier park is protected by law; Waterton Lakes park ta not Ingenuity and persistence like that | can only be met by concerted International action. As to the pictures: No. 1 shows the Red Gates of Sinclair canyon on the Banff-Windermere highway in Kootenay. No. 5 is a view of Mount Edith Cavell in Jasper. No. 3 gives a glimpse of the buffalo herd in Buffalo park, near Wainwright, a funced inclosure of 158 square miles. The herd, established In 1007, has increased mightily. In November 2,000 animals were killed, leaving 5,000. ^ Britain to Pay $92,000,000 in U. S. Liberty Bonds Washington.--The .British government has notified the treasury that its next payment on the war debt, due December 15, will be In Liberty bonds. The payment will include $23,000,000 on the principal and $69.- 000.000 interest. The formal notice from the British 'government merely stated that the payment would not be made in gold or available funds, leaving the alternative of Liberty bonds, which the refunding settlement permits. K . \'A •' * • _i Trained Like Pointers and Wait Till f Masters Come Up to Shoot VMurt I *-",They Have Found. Tbd variety of bounds used in this country for hunting is larger than most of us think. The best known are foxhounds, stagiiounds, otterhounds and harriers, but there are also beagles and bassett hounds, both used In packs for bare hunting. The last named are small and short-legged, bat they have wonderful noses. Greyhounds are the fastest-of all the caqine tribe. Next ""ome whippets, which seldom weigh more thau twentyflve pounds. Though ised principally for racing, they are also useful for running down rabbits. In Ireland there Is, or was till recently, at least one pack of weasel hounds.. "Bobbery" packs are used for jackal hunting in India. These are hounds of mixed breed, but most of the old Hampur strain. They are versatile animals, being trained not only to run jackals, but also to pull down black buck. In India, too, tbe cheetah is used for hunting. The cheetah is one of the great cats like the leopard, but longer in the leg. It is caught wild and trained; those animals I.red in captivity are useless for hunting. A clieetah has extraordinary speed and will run down any kind of deer. In the Southern states In America most of the negroes keep 'possinn dogs yellow, hound-like animals--which are trained to hunt opossums or raccoons by night They are plucky* creatures and will even take the trail? of a panther. This sort of hunting la£ done on foot and by night. The dog's business Is to "tree" the quarry. The hunters then climb the tree after the animal, or, if this Is impossible, cat the tree down. T. G. Niramo, the well-known American sportsman, has gone a step further than any one else, in that l>e has trained a pack of cats for hunting. With these he tracks not only 'possum and raccoous, but also rabbits and quail. In hunting the latter he has two fine cats which are trained like pointers and at sight or scent of the game become rigid, waiting for their master to come up and shoot what they have found for him. These two cats, Mr. NIrfjmtKsays, will also retrieve shot birds as clever* ly as any dog.--London Answers. ) Ban on Japanese Land Ownert Upheld by U. S. Supreme Court Washington.--The United States Supreme court in two decisions held that the anti-alien land laws of the states of California and Washington are constitutional and valid. Both cases came before the Supreme court on appeals brought by Japanese after the state courts had upheld the laws, which prohibits aliens not eligible*to citizenship under United States laws from acquiring or possessing real property.

Tbe young women found to be thus hampered to the eyes of tbe artist by physical deformities were a large number who were desirous of becoming models.

Whits House Built in 1800. The White House at Washington was first occupied by President John Adams in 1800, eight years having been spent in the construction of the edifice, for which the cornerstone was laid October 13, 1792, in the presence of George Washington. The choice ol the thirteenth of the month for the ceremony . Indicates that the first President had qo regard for the ancient "thirteenth" superstition. The first official function held in the White House was the New Year reoeptloil given by President Adams on January 1, 1801. When Washington was captured by the British In 1814 the White House, as well as the unfinished structure of the capitol and other government buildings, were burned. The Whit?

DUCK-SKAPED I^TtERY WAS USED BvManee of Puebio Indians' Reiiaioua lUtoe Found in Colorado fcr Explorers. ' * Two. Important pieces of pottery ot unusual historic Interest made by the Pueblo Indians were unearthed in southwestern Colorado this summer by a state museum expedition party headed by Frank H. H. Roberts, associated with Curator J. Allard Jeancon of thai state araseam IB arefceoiogtcal exploration work. Tbe pottery is in the shape of a duck and was used by the Pueblo Indians in their religious ceremonials. So far as is known, this is tbe first shard of Its kind discovered, and Is valued for that reason. "Southwestern Colorado la a vast storehouse of treasure for tha ardteologlst," Roberts says, *«nd Is scarcely scratched aa yet." Roberts says the apartment hours, supposedly a product of modern American efficiency and ingenuity, was used by the Pueblo Indians long before the supremacy ot the white man had been established.
