There were about 500 people aboard the Ancona, 150 at least lost their lives, 10, if not more. being American citizens.. It was marine murder. An old time tornado swept Central Kansas State and left a long train of ,destruction in its wake. A number of people were killed and more injured, while the losses of property will foot up in the millions. Fortunately we know Tittle of troubles from such a cause, but the wholesale removal of our forests may bring into our zone, in the years to come, wind storms that will not be without The rolling character of our lands may have a counteracting influence t t a controlling power as against sue i conditions. One cure is reforestry but Ontario is very poky in their move- ment along this line. 0 Thomas Kelly, who cleared out from 'Winnipeg, when wanted to give an ac- count of frauds chalked up against him over the contract of the new Parliament buildings a month ago, will have to face the music as extradition proceedings have been taken and he will be brought back from rhis .visit to the United States. If he is innocent he has nothing to fear in his trial and if guilty has a right to be i brought to book for alleged crookedness, i Kelly can likely tell a story that would , set many an ear tingling if he were so disposed, as enough has been gleaned al l ready to prove that high jinks were on among the official high-ups. Every time a soldier boy enlists he proves his helief that the British Empire is worth fighting for. The day Great Britain lived up to her pledge to stand by plucky Belgium in the latter's refusal to open her doors to the invader she heralded round the world that John Bull did not regard a binding contractus a "scrap of paper." All honor to the red white and blue banner. May it long continue to wave as the representative of a Nation who will defend the weak and support the right wherever wrongs require redressing or the liberties of people are being trampled in the dust.
