His release is regarded as the direct result of the threats of punit've measures made5by the Governmerit if he ware not re- leased in 48 hours. Republican Chief of Staff Liam Lynch has issued a proclamation de - daring: "We shall not release our 'hostages. If the threatened action is taken, every member of the 'Govern- ment, Senate and the Lower House and their executive will be held res- ponsible and we will certainty visit diem with the punishment deserved." Whether this is intended to offset the Bagwell release, or to intimate that Bagwell escaped is not knows. Bagwell was picked up by •a motorist eight nines from Dublin. He reached the city early in the morning and is not to be found, so there is no information obtainable from him as to how he came tobo free. - Many other hootages are still held by the Irregulars, Lynch's proolumar- tion slays the Republicans are deter- mined that the execution of Repub- lican prisoners shall eat go on, claim- ming thaut-flfty-throe officers and men have already met death. The militants'. incendiary tactics have now been extended to the homes of Natioiiol'ist leaders. Reports ftom F1'eesong'bon, South Dublin village, say that the homes of 'three soldiers were ;Iced °there. The railway depot at rhombi, an important Great Northern junction point, was wrecked by mines on Thur'sd'ay night.

Morris, Ontario Trustees and Ratepayers' Association. I was travelldng,on.the C.P.R. train to Regina last winter and entered into conversation with a business man from Calgary. After discussing gen- eral topics for some time, this- gentle. - man informed me that the province of Ontario was losing a magnificent op- portunity to tradewith the western , provinces because of her dishonesty. r Having been a resident of Ontario all my life, and my parents before me, I displayed some resentment to the in- sinuation tbat the people of Ontario lacked so fundamental a trait of in- dividual and national charaeter. He proceeded, therefore, to prove the statement by telling me the story of his financial venture. in the produce market. "I too," he said, "come from Ontario and regret the impression the West has of my. native Province as much as you da I carried on a large produce business In a thriving town in Ontario .for .many years- before coming West, and for some years purchased Miles and other Ontario fruits for consumption in the province of Alber- ta.

Moot of us111 ve to want svhethei our labor be mental or m,aitval,. Most_ of us have worries and anxieties, Some of tis, owing to the nature -of carr work, or the cireumstenres and surround - Inge in which we have to do it, have to switch off temporarily, and then re turn to cur interrupted task. Some of us—'the minority—can' take up the dropped thread, and proceed. Neither in quantity norquality doee. our work suffer. Others, however—and the majority—find it hard to pick' up the thread. The trouble is that wehave not trained ourselves to concentrate -to fence our mind in and rigorously ex- clude all other thoughts. Our mind is not disciplined, It persists '121 making little excursions. If, for example, eve sit clown to do our main task—our salary-earning task—and have, to stay our hand and mind et that because of the iuterven tion of another matter, wo ought to be able, when thee second job has been disposed of, to return to the other work, absolutely exceeding 01 thoughts of the intruder. The latter,, for the time being etany rate, should be dis- missed from our mind. But it intrudes. ' There's no fence to keep 1t our, We mut concentrate on the all-important work because idttle minor worries poke their noses in, It is, of course, obvious.that, say, av author cannot write if he is continual- ly being interrupted by ca1'lers% and fn. such circumstances no blame attacher to `him. But ifhe permits mental' "callers" to pay a visit to his mind, then he is to blame. He should be able to erecta mental fence, and saabe able to keep them out and enable himself to concentrate wholly on his work. How can it be done? There is ne royal and easy road. Practice and'de- termination are the tactors. We must "wild" that we 'Phan 'not' permit e$. traneous matters to intrude, and den terrine to presevere until we haute ob• tained the power to exclude them, The power will come -not in a day, nor is a week; seed, • possibly, not in two. Patten'oe will be required; , and that, allied to determtnation, will win. And then that gift' s, the power to concentrate, willof be ougiftrs. All great men 9095850 it; and rare can .become great without it. So begin' now to train your mind; the result will be well worth the erosible,. Still at Wart Not 'long ago the authorities of the Isle of Mheeprotested against beteg called upon to melte certain contribu•. tions to the Exchequer on the ground that the' island had not been included isp the Peace Treaty amongst those who were no longer at war with 'Germany and Austria, Technically, therefore, ' the Isle of Man is still at war, Thero have been one or two pre- vious omissions of towns and small countries from peace treaties that end- ed great wars. Berwick -en -Tweed is an independent borough which comes under neither England nor Scotland. In Acts of Par- liament it Is mentioned separatelly. By some mischance rte name was- omitted from the parties to the treaty which ended the Crimean War, Hence, tech, nically, Berwick has been at war with Russ'la for three-quarters of a century. There is in Italy a tiny republic called San Marino. It came in with the rest of Italy 01 the war with Aus- tria in 1848, but by mistake was left out of the treaty. During the recent conflict the republic merely rosumeel hostilities; she bad no need to declare war.
