A charge of treasonable conspiracy
.against his Majesty's Government
and the forces of the Crown has been
nuide against the persons in custody.
The nativity and scope of the Simi
Fein in Scotland has been known for
some time to be fairly extensive in
•several areas, and the captures are
regarded as of great importance:
"A replier arsenal," was the de-
scription applied by one of the 100
officers who raided the limes, and
its aptness may be gauged from the
fact that the seizures included ten
poends of gelignite, huge quantities
of gun cotton, gun powder and fus-
ing matevial, detonators and hand
grenades, two revolvers and a pistol.
Quantities of Sinn Febi literature,
drill boole of the "Irish Republican
Amy," and a membership anal of
the Sinn Fein organization aloe Were'
found. Garngad is a typical work-

• WARNING TO' GREECE
REGARDING TIN
.Allies Are Opposed to Res
toration of Constantine.
A despatch from London says:
The allied Premiers in conference o
• Thursday agreed to send a note to the
'Greek Government, declaring that
- restoration of Constantine to the
Throne of Greece would be regarded
:as.ratification by that country of Con-
atantine's hostile acts, and would ere -
ate a new -and unfavorable situation
in the relations between Greece and
the allies.
The text of the note follows:
"The British, French and Italian
- Governments have constantly in the
• past given proof of their good -will
.• toward the Greek peoples and have
favored the attainment of their na-
tional aspirations. They, therefore,
have been all the more painfully sur-
prised by the events which have just
occurred in Greece.
"They have no wish to interfere in
the internal affairs of Greece, but feel
bound to -declare publicly that restora-
tion of the Throne of Greece to a
King whose disloyal attitude and eon -
duet toward the allies during the war
caused them great embarrassment
and loss, could only be regarded •by
- them as ratification by Greece of his
hostile acts.
"This step would -create a new and
unavoidable situation in the relations
between Greece and the allies, and in
that case the three Governments re-
serve to themselves complete liberty
in dealing with the situation thus
created,"

savages for what they do, and could
anything be more savage than what
we palefaces were doing from 1914
to 1918? We call those queer who

The very serious trouble with most
people is that they are human, like
ourselves. They react in the same

also want sympathy and are looking
for a friend. They, too, heartily en-

of travel -if the traveler is impres-

is to show us that no country has a
monopoly of certain homely virtues
that take root and flourish in the

is any other country particularly in-
terested in our introspective studies

Raw Food Con-
ducive to Ifeallth
A despatch from Paris
says ;-"If one lived on cook-
ed food alone, he would .die
within one year;" stated Pro-
fessor Lumiere, of the Aca-
demy of Sciences, reporting
the results of experiments.
Professor Lumiere has con -
eluded from his researches that
the healthiest diet consists of
raw vegetables, grain and
fruits, asserting that cooking
is the root of all diseases, since
it destroys the vitamines, thus
inducing inanition.
HON. G. H. FERGUSON'
IS NEW LEADER
Former Minister Given Major-
ity on First Ballot.
A despatch from Toronto says: -
Hon. G. Ho -ward Ferguson, Minister
of Lands, Forests, and Mines in the
Hearst Government; was chosen lead-
er of the Liberal -Conservative Party
in Ontario on Thursday. In a three -
cornered contest in which his oppo-
tents were two former colleagues,
Brig. -General A. E. Ross, of ICing-
sten, and Hon. George S. Henry,
former Minister of Agriculture, he
WAS given a clear majority of votes
on the first ballot .and upon the Ind:.
tion of General Ross his seleebion was
made -unanimous. Then followed a
demonstration by the sixteen hundred
odd delegates who voted that swept
1Vfashey Hall from end to end and
provided ample assurance that in his
task of reorganizing the Conserva-
tive ranks and making the party
again the dominant fore in the prov-
ince, the new leader will have the
united support of the rank and file
of Conservatism.
Following' is the platform adopted
by the convention:
Government by the responsible
Ministers of the Crown and not by
commission.
Endorsation of a protective tariff
for the Dominion for the develop-
ment of Canadian industries for Ca-
nadian workmen.
Public ownership and development
of Hydro power as enunciated by Sir
James Whitney and Sir Adam Beck;
the canalization of the St. Lawrence
River, and the development of its
water powers.
All Government posts for returned
soldiers where qualified.
Sound and progressive labor legis-
lation.
.More generqus expenditure for
roads and education in the Northland.
Vigorous enforcement of the On-
tario Temperance Act in accordance
with public opinion.
Retention of direct appeal§ to • the
Privy Council.

Forty Executed Daily
By Russian Government
A despatch from Paris
says: -No less than 1,206
persons, an average of 40 a
day, were sentenced to death
by Moscow revolutionary
tri-
bunais and executed in Mos
cow during September, ac-
cording to the official Soviet
organ, Isvestia."
The same paper throws
light on the desperate fuel sit-
uation in Moscow by stating
that 5,000 wooden houses
have been torn down in Mos-
cow to provide fuel for the
people.

Australian repatriation authorities
are still arranging the passages of
English girls with whom Australian
soldiers fell in love whilst in England.
Nowadays the soldier who wants his
fiancee conveyed to Australia has to
deposit a sum of money as an evi-
dence of bona fides, the amount being
refunded when the marriage is eele-
brated. This prevents some of the
incidents which led to seandals.
One Australian soldier, when the
boat arrived in Sydney, mils amazed
to meet his fiancee's sister, who had
travelled under her name. A letter
explained that the girl who should
have arrived had net and niarried
someone else, but, as her sister wish-
ed to go to Australia, they had plan-
ned not to "waste the passage."
BIG BEN.
Your Home Town.
There is something the matter with
the man who doesn't care for the place
he lives in; who doesn't eerne back
to it with some degree of rapture
and relief. The world citizen who
boasts that all places are alike to
him and any place is home where he
hangs his hat misses out of his life
one of the first and strongest Meet-
tives to decency and duty -which is
the desire to win the general esteem
and good opinion of the community
in which one dwells. There is 310 re-
ward in money which compares in
value with the golden treasure of a
good repute. If a 1111111 cheats and
lies and steals and bears false wit-
ness, be may bad up a great for-
tune and still be plagued at night
with the knowledge that those about
him hold a low. opinion of his worth
and works. Dr, Eliot, of Harvard,
has told us that it is the favorable
opinion of a man's home town that
is, wortih earning and retaining. One
of the neighbors might be wrong; but
if we take the summation of what
many are saying, we probably shall
arrive at a just estimate.
Merely to live in a place doesn't
make one a citizen. Your heart will
be where your work has been pat in
