New Orientation of the British
View of the “Danger
Spot”
According to the Herald Tribune’s
dispatches from London the British
government is actively debating the
proposal to transfer the main “strik
ing force” of the British Army from
England to ndia. There are reports
of the Russians massing their divi
sions across the northwest frontier
and flinging a strategic railway into
Afghanistan. The feeling which has
been strong in Europe ever since the
Anglo-Russian break that Russia con
stitutes the most unstable element in 1
present world politics appears to he
growing, and the alert are picking up
new hints of war. It is believed that
the British government is proposing
to reduce the Indian army—the- force
of native and British troops under
control of the Viceroy which at pres
ent garrisons the country—and create
in India a powerfully equipped force
of British and. even dominion troops
under direct control of the War Office
at London as the principal defensive
effort of the British Empire.
If this belief is correct it need not,
of course, mean that a war between
Russia, and Great Britain over the
Afghan frontier is about to take
place. But it would be interesting as
one more example of how the old
strategic lines are changing. Shortly
after 1900 the British government
called home its warships to the North
Sea and settled down to the naval
competition with- Germany which was
to end in the World War. Through
those years it was no longer a ques
tion of pushing the Empire upon its
Broders, but of defending it at its
very centre. The next war , would be
ftnross the North Sea and the army
Ts ould fight in Flanders if not upon
home territory. But after Versailles
fhe wheel turned again. The British
battle fleet was based in the Mediter
ranean, for the German menace was
gone. The naval base was built at
Singapore, and now if the Empire be
regarded as a whole in the changed
world of to-day it might easily seem
logical to concentrate its military de
fence in India, close to Turkey and
the Near East, close to Mesopotamia,
and oil, close to China and Australia.
The “Shanghai defence force,” which
had to be started so long before any
actual need for it was proved, because
it took so long to get from Southamp
ton to the Yangtze, must have given
British strategists a good deal to
think of.
Consequently, ' a transfer of the
British army to India might not mean
war with Russia any more than the
transfer of our battle fleet ixsthe Pa
cific meant war with Japan. But it
would show where the new interests
lie. The “armed camp” psychology is
passing from western Europe; at
home the new Air Force is promising
to protect England from invasion
(and perhaps by that very fact laying
more emphasis on the possibility of
invasion .than conditions would war
rant), but Flanders is not now the
indicated battlefield. For the time be
ing the clash of interests is heard.at
greater distances and Europe drifts
back again toward the days when Mr.
Kipling was discussing the bear that
walked like a man, when ‘amateur
statesmen described a world war
about to take place in Manchuria, or
chancellories buzzed as a youthful
Emperor took an interest in the mur-
dfer of a couple of his missionaries in
the Shangtung Peninsula.

Automatic Broadcaster to Aid
Fog-Bound Ships
An aid to ships at sea in heavy fog
has been patented by Elmer Sperry
of Brooklyn. The apparatus, which- is
called a “Special Device for Prevent
ing Collisions at Sea in Fog," broad
casts the ship’s course, its speed and
its call letters! and is operated inde
pendently of the ship’s regular radio'
equipment.
The apparatus consists of a specially
constructed broadcasting set with one
element automatically taking the
course readings from the gyro com
pass with a separate drum recording
and transmitting the speed. This is
set manually and adjusted to the speed
of the ship as occasion demands. The
call letters are sent out automatically.
The device is- operated on a short
Xvave to prevent its interfering with*
the regular radio equipment. It has
a sending range of from ten to fifteen
miles and its primary purpose is for
use in heavy fogs. It is claimed that
it might also prove of some value in
cases of distress but that this, due to
its short sending range, was- of Sec
ondary importance.
Mr. Sperry, it was said, made ap
plication for, the patent in 1023 and
the patent was’ granted by the Patent
'Office about ten days ago. At the of*
flees of the SpffiT-y company it was
reported that the simplicity of its

PREMIER INTERVIEWS CAR INSPECTOR
When Premier Stanley Baldwin was travelling through the Maritime
Provinces over the lines of the Canadian National Railways he evinced keen
interest in all matters concerning transportation. At Truro, N.S., Mr.
Baldwin asked D. A. McKay, Car Inspector, “Did you examine the wheels
of my car?” Yes sir, They are. all right,” answered the Inspector. Mr.
Baldwin then asked a number of questions about the work of Inspectors,
repiarking that in England they were called “car tappers," and noting the
longer hammer used in Canada. “Yours is a responsible work” commented
Mr. Baldwin as the train drew out.

British Soldier of Fortune

Scutari, Albania.—The “Albanian
question” is now largely in the hands
of Gen. S’ir Jocelyn Percy, a veteran
of the
-Indian
war.
' Gen. Percy came here to reorganize1
the gendarmery and was appointed by!
Ahmed Bey ■Zogu to command the
military and civil administrations of
all Albania north of the Matir River.
He expects to pacify the turbulent
r.egion of the Malissore tribes and
thus put a stop to the continual agi
tation along the frontier between Al
bania and Yugoslavia.
Gen. Jercy’s policy is that o-f the
“square deal.”
“The tribesmen of the region under
my command,” he says, “can come
to me and pour out their grievances
with confidence that they will be
heard and dealt with fairly.”
Gen. Bercy, after leaving the Brit
ish Army as major general in 1919,
went to South Russia with a British
mission attached to Gen. Denikine’s
army. He was later with Gen.
Wrangell in the Crimea. He enjoyed
three years of rest and qu-iet on a
ranch in British Columbia. Desiring-
active life, he put on the harness
again in November last and undertook
the task of reformng and reorganiz
ing the Albanian gendarmery.

Baby’s Own Tablets are without an
equal for little ones. From the new
born babe to the growing child they
are an absolute safeguard to health.
Once a mother has used them she will
use nothing else. Thousands of
[mothers always keep them on hand.I Among the mothers who state that
[Baby’s Own Tablets are the best medi-
jcine for little ones that they know of
, is Mrs. Russell Hill, of Norwood, Ont.
Her experience with the Tablets
should be of great benefit to any
mother who has not already given the
Tablets a trial. Mrs. Hill says:—“I
have five fine healthy children, and
from the youngest to the oldest they
get no .other medicine but Baby’s Own
! Tablets.. When our baby girl was
eleven months old she won second
prize at the Norwood Fair, and when
she was a year older she won first
prize in competition with twenty-eight
other babies. It was the Tablets that
gave her the health and development
to carry off these prizes. I always de

27,000 Americans Kiss
Blarney Stone
Cork, Ireland.—More than 27,000
American tourists have kissed the fa
mous Blarney Stone this year.
The curators of Blarney Castle are
considering limiting the number of
“kissing visitors" in the future be
cause of the danger, they point out,
that the kissers must climb to the
wall and then be lowered down head
first, with another person holding on
to the feet, and that, should the hold
relax, a serious fall might result.
The Blarney Stone is gradually
wearing away, partly by the action of
the elements and partly by the dam
age done by tourists in their effort to
kiss the st:*"e. Its potency, however,
according to the common belief, re
mains the same. This has been des
cribed by one Irish writer in the fol
lowing words:
“The touch of Blarney Stone creates
smooth and graceful liars of the first
magnitude with a sweet, persuasive
tongue with women, full of guile,
blandishment and potent flattery.”
