"Education" is, according • to its de-
rivative meaning, a leading forthe-the
companion word; "Instruction," means
s a building in. These are the two pro-
ceseeseef education. We speak of a
finished education. There is no Mich

groat school of life we must be .stu-
dents, and those who are wisest are
the least dogmatic -the least sure
that the views they hold ale absolute-

Canadian Chosen For
Labor Sees the Unsoundness
of Radical Doctrines.
•
A despatch from Ottawa says: -
Bolshevism is slowly but surely dying
in England. Free speech is killing it.
Tho Old Country labor man is learn-
ing the unsoundness of the doctrine,
not from those who seek to discredit
the movement, but from the radicals
themselves. Labor is becoming die-
gusted with the Rade and is showing
that disgust by repudiating the move-
ment.
So states Tom Moore, president of
the Trades and Labor Congiess, Cana-
da's Labor representative on the In-
ternational Labor Congress held in
England under the auspices of the
League of Nationsduring the past
two months, who has just returned to
• Ottawa,
Bolshevist soap -box orators abound
10 Hyde Park, he said, and to a Cana-
dian, who has followed the Winnipeg
trial, come mii the nature of a shock.
Soviets for the British are openly ad-
vocated. Literature is openly solcisin
the streets, which, if.found. in the pas -
session ola person living in this coun-
try, would mean a term ot imprison-
ment. If the agitators confine them-
selves to speech they are in no danger
of interfermee, but any attempt at re-
' volutionary action is quickly nipped
in the bud. He cited a publication,
edited by Sylvia Pankhurst, which
advocates "revolutionary internationall
socialism, the, ending oS capitalism
and Parliaments and the substitution
of workers republics." This is sold
wildspread in London and causes
little or no comments' Mr. Moore inti-
Sherdmight hi' a little lesson
in this for the Do/Millen,
The whole standard of living among
the labor classes of Britain ' has
changed, he asserted. Wages are on
a par with those of Canada and the
cost ot living is about the same.

Oh, no. They fought, and
"For our to -morrow gave their to -day,"
and it is for ua to keep faith, by help-
ing to establish the democracy which
they fought and died tp establish.
It is only as, after the wars of his,
tory, people give their li--es to estab-
lishing the gains so made that ever
accomplishes anything.
You remember Southey's "After
Blenheim." Old Kaspar couldn't tell
little Peterkin and his sister why the
war had been waged -all he knew
was that "Everybody said it was a
famous victory," History gives no
light upon that subject either. No,.
we must, as individual citizens, so
live, so inform ourselves, so exercise
Our rights ofcitizenship, with speech,
and pen, and ballot, that the histories
of the future, mentioning the great
battlefields soaked with the blood of
our dearest and ,best, shall not be
forced to keep silent when perhaps an-
other Byron's Child° Harold, coming
to the spot, exclaims, 10 awed sur-
prise:
"How that red rain hath made the
harvest grow!"
and then asks:
"And is this all the world has gain-
ed from thee; thou first and lapt of
fields?" , •- •
Btit the Only means by which' his-
tory can be deterred from repeating it-
aelt is by yetiand me givIng'our lives

as those did in War for the establish-
ment of

Ten Civilians Killed in Clash
Between Jews, Moslems,
and Arabs.
A despatch from London says: -It
is reported that ten civilians were
killed and one hundred and eighty
wounded, and that- three British offi-
cers were wounded, in the disturb-
ances in Jerusalem on April 4 be-
tween the Jews, Moslems and Arabs.
The despatch says the exact cause
of the trouble has not yet been, as-
tertained. Other disturbances oc-
curred April 6,' when the town was
packed with Britsh troops. Early
in the morning of April 6, Arabs
tried to enter the•Damascus gate, but
were fired on. During further dis-
turbances some houses were burned,
The despatch adds that from the
latest information although there
was considerable effervescence in the
Jerusalem district, the situation was
Well in hand.

1089 Outrages in
Ireland in Year
•
A despatch, from London says :r
On thousand and eighty-nine out-
rages were committed in Ireland be-
tween January, 1919, and March 29,
1020; according to an official White
paper, which attributes thein to the
.dSinn Fein movement.. Thirty-one
police, Military and officials and five
civilians were killed, 81 were fired
upon, 32 were assaulted.
This total does not ihelude the po-
lice barracks, to the number of more
than 200, destroyed during Easter
Week.

SIR HAMAR GREENWOOD
NEW CAPITAL FOR
OTTOMAN EMPIRE
IF TURKS ARE SHUT OUT
OF CONSTANTINOPLE.
Choice of New Centre of Sul-
tanate Lies Between Brous-
• sa an Konia.
The question whether, Constanti-
riople is to remain the seat of the
Turkish Sultanate has been the
source of a ceaseless polemic in the
whining; ef the European press for
several long months. It is a question
of tremendous import, involving widee
spread pational,religious and trade
interests, and, some would have it,
the whole futuao attitude of Islam
toward the western European powers.
If, however, it mefinally decided that
the Turk, having obtained possession
of the city of the Golden Horn in vic-
tory, must now lose it in defeat, it is
generally conceded that the selection
of the now Ottoman capital will lie
between Broussa and Konia. The
Ammer is the more lagieal choice,
owing to its elope proximity to the
more civilized world; but Konia may
be chosen as a place of retreat and
security, buried away in the Turkish
homeland, and well removed from
extraneous intrigues and in•fluences.
Broussa, like .most of the titles of
any size in Asia Minor, has a history.
It is said to have been founded on the
suggestion of Hannibal, and, under
the name of Prase, or Prussa, it was
.the capital of Bithynia, whose inhabi-
tants, for their part, were emigrants
from Thrace. Bithynia survived for
seveetH centuries, until Nicomedes III
bequeathed it to the Romans in 74 B.
C. The Turkish connections with the
city dates from 1329, when it • was
captured by Oekhan, the chief of the
Ottoinans. They,,of course, lost it
to the Mongols in 1402 but subse-
quently regained it. It has more or
less remained in their possession until
the present day, and has served them
for many years as theireeapital.

FIUME TO
REMAIN ITALIAN
Understanding Reached an
Adriatic Question.
A despatch from London says: --
Italy and Jugo-Slavia have reached an
understailding on the Adriatie settle-
ment. The agreement is said to in-
clude these main terms:
1. Fiume to remain Italian. '-
2. Scutari is to be given to Jugoe
Slavia.
In diplomatic 'circles it is averred
Premier Lloyd George is the .eeal
author of this cornpromise.
The Jugo-Slays, under the reported
agreement, would receive Susak, the
Canale Della Piumara, the Porto
Baross and the port of Volosca. The
port of Abbazia, just to' the south-
westof Volosca,would remain Italien,
with the Jugo-'Slays receiving Scutari,
on the Albania coast as compensation.
Gabriele D'Annunzio, the insurgent
commander at Fiume, is declared to
he .strongly against the arrangement.

has been arranges]. The reconstruee
tiorrand repair of the tubbing will be
carried out by German workmen, and
the centent for the puepose will be
brought from Germany, The pumping
out of the mines is expected to take
at least three years. • It is hoped that
by next year it will be possible to
extract coal from the first galleries,
which are only 000 feet deep, but it
is not expected that the water will be
pumped out of the lower working.%
which run down to 2250 yards, until
1923 or even 1924.
The railways in the Lens district
will not be completely repaired till
1921. Of the 800 workinene dwellings
belonging to the Miners' Society, not
a hundred can be repaired. Four hun-
dred concrete huts are to be built in
which it is hoped to house the 5000
workers 'who will be employed in the
clearing or the pits for the next two
or tihree years.
The city is pleasantly situated, in
the Midst of a vast expanse of vis -
yards and olive groves which spread
their verdure over hills and dales f or
miles around, at the base of the Ana-
tolian Olympus. The classic moun-
tam, Olympus, is, of course, in Mace-
donia, within a few miles of Salonica.
The traveler from Constantinople
takes an antiquated pacicet boat from
the Galata,Quay, and, steaming past
the island in the sea of Marmora, is
deposited at the little seaport of Mon -
dada. There is considerable move-
ment et Mouilania, f or there the black
olives and the grapes produced on the
hinterland are packed in primitive
fashion for export.
The journey may be resumed either
by train or carriage. The voitures are
rickety, and the animals mere apolo-
gies fog horseflesh, but they neverthe-
less cover the twenty-six miles as
quickly as the train, so it is preferable
to take the very excellent highway
and view the glorious panorama,
rather than suffer the dis.comfitureef
the trip by railroad.
Approach to Broussa itself can be
readily detected, for the city gives off
in exaggerated degree that pungent
effluvia 'which is characteristic of all
Turkish towns. Nevertheless, one soon
becomes accustomed to this peculiar
atmosphere, for there is .much of
interest to occupy one's attention.
Few traces of Bithynian or Roman
civilization remain, but the Turk is
here in all his glory, and there is one
hotel at which one can live in com-
parative comfort. Tho native silk
industry well repays investigation,
some of the hest Turkish examples
being produced here, and the neigh-
borhood abounds with mineral
springs.
Yet Broussa has immense possibili-
ties. It is a typical Turkish city, the
site of some striking examples of Is-
lamic architecture and the home of
sacred relics Swhich endear it to the
Moslem world. It will be in keeping
with historical evolution if it again
becomes the capital of the Turkish
state;
Prince of Wales Feted

Market Hunting Must be
Stopped.
One of the primary objectS of 'those
who are engaged in promoting more
adequate protection of wild life is to
stop the destructive activities of the
market hunter. Mr. P. Bradshaw,
Chief Game Guardian of Saskatche-
wan, in speaking before The National
Conference on Wild Life Protection,
held in Montreal in February by the
Commission of Conservation, made a
fcirceful appeal on behalf af the pro-
hibition., of the sale of game. Mr.
Bradshaw gave the following instance
of the manner in which wild life re-
sources are depleted by those who
hunt as a means of livelihood inst‘ad
of.recreation:
"Tho destruction that can be
wrought by a single Ssidividual whose
goal is the slaughter of game, for
financial gain is appalling,
"Some ten or twelve years ago a
family of my acquaintance home-
steaded oo the south shore of lake
Johnson, Saskatchewan. This lake at.
that time was a sportsman's paradise,
and is still considered to be a choice
hunting ground for waterfowl. There
were four adult males in the family,
all excellent shota, and as soon as the
hunting season opened they started
their deadly fusilade, and from day-
light until dark for six days a week
they hunted aa long as a gooso re-
mained to be shot. They kept one
man steadily hauling the game to
Moose Jaw, 40 miles distant. Among
other things, they admitted earning
enough money ilk two years to pur-
chase and pay fo1 an automobile."
In the "Dumops."
"Familiarity breeds contempt" orig-
inally appeared in the Sanskrit -the
ancient language of the Hindus. It is
to bo found in almost every European
or Asiatic language having a litera-
ture.
"Wheels within wheels," tho ex-
pression well known in connection
with Mr. Samuel Weller of "Pickwick
Papers," is, strange to relate, nothing
more or less than a quotation from
the Bible. It can be found in the Book
of Ezekiel, chapter x., verse 10,
"Diamond cut diamond," the
phrase, was originally "Diamonds
cut diamonds." Ford, the writer of
the "Lover's Melancholy," was the
first to use this expression.
The term "fretwork" is said to have
originated from the Latin fretum,
frith, in which the water has eaten
away the land. Thus, we get fret-
work -raised work -but it means
that the fretsaw eats away certain
parts at the wood.
Checkmate, the expression used by
chess, players, it is interesting to find,
has a connection -with the Shah! The
source of the term checkmate is said
to be from the Arabic: "Eseeheikh-
imat," meaning, "the Sheik (King) is
dying!" These who have been checks
mated will appreciate the singular
signifiCance of those words.
"Dowe in the dumps," according to
one authority, is ,an expression which
arose from the fact that an old East-
ern king, named Dumops, is ,said, to
have died of deepresaion.
Death Lurks in Soil

Cambial, France, -Two explosions,
in which 12 persons were killed- and
two injured, have occurred in the dis-
trict Of Viliers Guislain, 18 kilo-

The Hoineland.
My land was the west land; my home
was on, the hill,
I never think of my land, but it
makes my heart to thrill.
I never smell the west. wind that
blows the golden skies,
But old desire is in my feet and
dreams are in my eyes,
My home crowned the high land; it
had e stately grace.
I never think, of my land but I see
my mother's face;
I never smell the west wind that
blows the silver ships,
But old delight ie, in any heart and
mirth is on my lips.
My land was a high land; my home
was near the skies,
I never think of my land, but a light
• is in my eyes,
8 never smell the west wind that
blows the summer rain -
But I am at my mother's knee,
little lad again.
