G ARBITRATION • ATIES A despatch from Paris says:—A security.pael is in sight, Final paci- fication of 'Europe dependsonly on careful diplomatic' aragoi: coons be tween' Germany and France, Britain, Be elute, and Italy, andlthe signs are favorable. Foreign Minister Bri•and has Bent to Seelin a ognciliatory.nobe framed with the aid of Britieh Foreign Seere- tary `Chamberlain 'and agreed to by - the other allies. It offers to meet Germany hale way in making arbitra- tion treaties so that Germany will riot be exposed to unjustified attack on a technicality, and it invited Ger- many to negotiate for corelusion of a treaty. • Whether' tile negotiations are to be through ambassadors or at a confer- neo is not mentioned in Btiand's: 1,000 word reply to the German note recently presented. It urges Ger-1 .many to enter the League of Nations,, saying. the League is the onlybasis' oC.durablo peace; and "makes -plain that l there will be no pact unless'Germanye does enter without more ado. But it 1 states' the reasons ie a long homily coming from the allies as a whole and agreeing to seateh for a formula for arbitration treaties which will expose the country to attack only if it breaks its agreement and crosses a frontier, or, in the case of the Rhtne;and, if troops are moved into the neutralized zone.

BUSH FIRE MENACE IN ALGOMA AREAS • One Near Soo and Ten Rez. ported From Blind River Section. A despatch from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., says;—Unless assistance in the form of rain comes to the aid of the fire fighters, soon, a serious condition will undoubtedly develop in the dis- trict, The only fire close to the Sault is one at Groscap. Some ten fires are reported from the Blind Riyer section and about 100 men ares; employed lighting , them. Some of the fires are serious. ones, The only; thing that -will completely quench them after the dry weather of the past three weeks, is a good shower. it On the American side of the line tine bush fire noes Kinross, 18 miles south of Sault, Mich., has burned over 2,000 acres or land in the past twelve days. It took a new: start only forty rods froom the Village of Kin- ross, a place of a dozen houses, a store, a depot and a school -house. -Two hundred men are employed fighting the fire there. The fire near Barbeau threatened the new house of Win. Atkins, but the farmers of the neighborhood joined Mr. Atkins and dug a trench around the house and thus saved it. A despatch from Sault Ste.

The Prince laid a wreath on a memorial erected to employee of the railway who had been killed at the front and spoke briefly, thanking his audience for their %ve.- conte and wishing them luck. - As His Royal Highness Ieft the hall his audience broke into "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" and there was tremendous cheering from the crowd who packed the street outside. The Prince was not greatly in the public eye, but interest in his activi- ties continues unabated, and every- where he goes a crowd gathers. At his request the guard of honor out- side the Basualdo Mansion, the Prince's home here, has Been removed, His Royal highness lunched Thurs- day at the Chilean Embassy, and,sub- segeently went by special train to Ilur:ingham, where he played four chukkers of polo.

This is the story of the wreck of the Hudson Bay' supply ship Bayeskimo in Ungava Bay, on July 28, as told by one of the survivors who has reached Montreal. After the little ship had been squeezed' in pack ice on her journey through the bays and inlets of the sub -Arctic, she sprung a leak and sank, carrying with her supplies for all the outposts of civilization,, as well as for Eskimo settlements in: a vast northern territory. Capt, J. L. Lloyd transferred his crew and passengers to. the floating icetand ten hours later were picked up try the steamer Nas- copie and landed at one of the trad- ing settlements. Wanted Liner Turned Back to Port of Sailing A despatchfromNew York says:— The White Star liner Olynfpie reach- ed Quarantine last week several hours re late due to encountering .heavy eeas the first day out from Cherbourg. It was an eventful voyage. • The high "seas caused much sea- sickness aboard the ship. Captain W`llarshall was offered 7100,000 by a Syrian heiress if he would turn his ship around and go .back to the French pert on the second day out. Mlle. Izzit Pasha, a pretty Syrian girl, about twenty, was the passenger Who offered. a fortune to Captain Marshall to swing around. She was very seasick. Her father was furan- cial adviser to the Sultan of Turkey, who recently died. and left her 75,000,000. Nasty, Nasty Man.

ENGINEER GIVES LIFE TO SAVE PASSENGERS Driver Sticks to His Cab in Face of Inevitable Death. A despatch from Pittsburg, Pa., says:—Giving his life` that 200 pas- sengers riding with him on the Pitts- burg-Bufl'alo Flier might escape, Engineer A. G. Miller, aged 56, of Oil City, snick to his cab, applying every possible brake, as he saw his train .ride at a 50 -mile -an -hour clip into an open switch below'Braeburn. The fireman; 3. H. Fidler,' aged 45, also of Oil City, was severely injured, but his condition is reported as "fav- orable to recovery." As the engine hit the switch, jump- ed high into the air and overturned Miner was pinioned beneath the lov- ers of his cab. Half an hour later he was extricated, horribly scalded, his pelvic bone broken, and suffering from internal injuries. He died shortly afterwards in the Allegheny Valley Hospital, at Tarentum. The -passengers escaped with little more than a severe shaking -up. Traffic in N rcatics Greatest Fast Year A despatch from Geneva says: Traffic in opium and other narcotics throughout the world during the past year was the greatest since the League of Nations Opium Advisory Commission was organized, Sir John Campbell, of India, declaredat the Commission's session here. Seizures have increased enormously, he said. Manufacturers of narcotics and an illicit distribution syndicate are well organized, with vast resources, he charged. Sir John said production could not be controlled because it was impossible to depend upon the honesty of some Governments. League statistics show that ap- proximately 4,000 chests of opium were shipped to the Orient during the past year, although conditions in 110 Europe and North America are im- w proving somewhat. It is impossible for the condition of China to b.eovorse, it is said. :Hailstones So Large Man Knocked Unconscious A despatch from Fredericton, N.B., says:—So big were the hailstones daring a recent storm in Gloucester County that a man was rendered un- conscious at Caragnet, according to James L. Neville, former Winnipeg and Calgary newspaper man, who re- turned from a visit to the north shore. 'Many window -panes were broken, Natural Resources Bulletin' The Natural Resources Intel5iroria Service of the Dept. of the Interior at Ottawa. says: „, Canada hos many admirers outside of her bordere, largely due to the chez cien£ work "of her energetic trade coni•. ' reissioners. They are putting Canada in the forefront as a 'commercial World power, Even in far-off Stealth Settlements, A, 13. Muddrman is work - Mg 'in the interests of Canada, and rib doubt as the result of his efforts the Singapore 'h'i'red Press has the foliow- ing to say.bf this country: "At present Canada's_ industrial future • has hardly begun. Great' towns do exist and some big indus- tries, but for the present and for many years to come,hee energies will be absorbed by the conquest of the land and the bringing' of -it into culti- vation. Looking at the spirit of het people and the past history of taste United States, there can be no hest- tation• in reeoghteing in Canada one of the greatest world powers of the future, an achievement in colonize,-, tion of which the British people can' be immeasurably proud." G. G. Van der ,Kop, editor of the "Interocean," the only magazine pub lished in the "Middle East," and who once- visited this ,,,country, has had many times a good word to say for Canada: Canada is a land of vast grain growing areas and a wide diversity of other vegetable resources. Canada is rich in minerale,-her animal indus- tries are a leading source of national wealth, her forests -products provide a large surplus for export, while the greater portion of the product of her factories find a market outside Can- ada. The quality oe bei 'products is interesting world consumers, and it is but natural that the thoughts of these foreign consumers' should turn to a country that is capable of such pro- duction. Do we as Canadians fully appreci- ate what we have, and are 'we doing our part in making thein known? 0 'Something Going On. There is afebrile temperament,' not unfamiliar in domestic life and the social circle, which demands that there shall always: be something going on. There is no rest or peace with sucha spirit, . If the talk slackens .. or seems ig> approach a lull, the res- tive one estive-one feels that it must be:replen- ished as fuel is thrown to a wood fire ort a winter night.. If a guest is en- tertained, it is thought that his every.. moment must have an occupation found for it, Whatever the place, whenover the time, the tongue, the mind, the feet and hands must never be still. The beauty and the blessedness of quiet— aye, and the vital necessity,+too—are never recognized and'cotecded. Life must bektever a rush and a s1b, a flet and a fever. In contact with. such a disturbing incendiary spirit,, one longs for a presence whose coin- ing is tranquility, whose tacit, sym- pathy is a benison, who can afford to trust to -silences more than is in the power of words to convey. Nature did not intend that w•0 should forever be on the go. Sleep, solitude arid relaxation are of her ordainment as certainly as vigilance, gpsocia rve toil ,and strenuous Were They who know how to rest chid %viten' to he still are the ones whose accom plishment excels the frantic gyration of those who hustle without a plan, sate to keep on hustling.

It is right that those ho get things done should be extolled when the achievements sire worth while, but it does not mean much to set in motion any process of produc- tion without prefiguring the cost and trying to ascertain the Outcome. Timber- Deficiency Threatens World A despatch from London says:. Before the British Association at Southampton, Alexander Howard, of the botany section, read a paper stat- ing that, unless a system of refores- tation was adopted, the world soon would face a serious timber deficiency. lie especially advocated encourage- ment'and use of Empire -grown tim- ber, stating that British railway com- panies now demanded Russian and German oak and American mahogany and walnut. Recently one rai-avay issued a de- mand for American walnut "sawn by American woricmen in America."- The cost of carrying lumber 80 miles to London, he said, was equal to import from the United, States, t TO IO AND YOKOHAMA FLOODED EIGHTY THOUSAND HOMELESS A despatch from - Tokio says,— Nearly two-thirds of Tokio was inun- dated as a resultof thirty-six hours of 'rain, 'Thirty thousand homes aro flooded, and 80,000 residents of Tokio and Yokohama' are homeless.
