MISSION WORKERS
IN CHINA RELEASED
Firm Steps T4ken by British
Government Agents Prove
Effective.
Wuchow, China. (via Hong Kong),
July 13, -Rev. E. H. Carne, the Aus-
tralian missionary who, with Rev. R.
A. Jaffray, Canadian, and Dr. H. G.
Miller and Rev. Rex Ray, Americans,
was captured by Chinese bandits at
Fu River on May 15, has been releas-
ed, and is now on his way to Wuchow.
Messrs. Jaffray and Miller were pre-
viously released by the outlaws to
carry the demands for ransom, while
Mr. Ray . subsequently made his
escape.
With the news of the release of
Carne comes also the tidings that the
Kwellin Pingloh missionaries, to the
recsue of whom the mission party
were hastening by launch when they,
were captured, are safe and are a1L
now en route to Wuchow.
The British Government despatched
a gunboat to Wuchow with officials to
negotiate fortheimmediate release of
the captured missionaries, The Brit-
ish authorities declined to pay the
ransom demanded by the brigands
and 'refused permission of those con-
cerned to 'do so privately. They de-
cided to hold the Chinese Government
responsible for the release and safe
conduct of all the missionaries, which
evidently has now been accomplished.

British Navy to Check
Red Sea Slave Traffic
It was announced at the Foreign
Office that the government had decid-
ed to reinforce the British naval force
in the Red Sea by the dispatch of a
division of fast destroyers, says a
London despatch.
Naval patrols, formed of sloops be-
longing to the British, French and
Italian navies, are maintaining an
`active supervision of these waters with
Ia view to the suppression of the slave
traffic from the African to the Arab-
iian coast. Their works consists in stop-
ing and searching the native dhows
which they meet in the course of their
patrols in order to ascertain that there
are no slaves being transported on
board them.
Prom time : to time, slaves are dis-
covered, the dhow arrested and the
slaves liberated andsent hone.
It is, however, becoming apparent
that the vessels which have been;op-
erating in the Red Sea are not suffi-
cient completely to suppress the traf-
fic in slaves. There are numerous is-
lands with rocky creeks into which the
dhows, sailing by night, can retire
during the daytime and hide, and,
with a fresh breeze, it is not always
possible for the warships hitherto
available to overtake thein.
The government hopes, with the re-
inforcements of fast ships now being
sent, to put an end to the slave, trade
in the Red Sea.

Prince of Wales Has
the "Apple a Dai" Habit
A despatch ,from, Loudon says:--
Those
ays:-Those who dote on the doings of royal-
ty may be interested to know that the
Prince of Wales is one of those es-
timable persons who eat an apple a
day, having started the practlee at col-
lege, according to the newspapers.
Once when Queen Mary went up to
Oxford to see how leer son was getting•
on, she looked over : ' Ills "battels,"
which is Oxford for boardbill, and
found an unidentified item for one
peony daily, When' the Queen, who is
a reputedly economical housekeeper,
asked what the money was meant for,
she was told it was for the Prince's
daily apple.
The story may or may not be true,
but the heir to the throne certainly
enjoys the proverbial health attributed
to those who eat their • daily apple.
Despite heavy programs of public
events for days on end for which
changes in clothes and uniforms alone
would sicken an ordinary mortal, the
British heir never seems to weaken
and is. never ill. In fact, except"when.
he falls offhis horse in soma break-
neck race, the Prince of Wales seems
eminently .successful in keeping the
doctor away from St. James Palace,
Natural Resourcecs Bulletin:
Tho Natural Resources Intelligence
Service of the Department of the In-
terior. at Ottawa says:'
In speaking to the members of the
New fork Bankers' Association, which
met in Montreal recently, Sir Henry
Thornton, president of the Canadian,
National Railways, called attention to
the great natural resources of Cana-
da that awaited the necessry capital
for their development and advised the
bankers to study these resources.
In thus speaking t6 United Status
bookers, Sir Henry did not need to in-
clude Canadians generally. There are
many thousands of our people, how-
ever, whose actual broad and butter
depend upon Canada's natural re-
sources, who give "no consideration
whatever to 'tate basic raw materials
which our natural resources provide.:
Ourlands, forests, waferpowers, mines
and fisheries are back of all industry,
and Sir Heury, as head of a gerat rail-
way system recognizes that it is in the
development of the natarral resources
of Canada that the success of Canada's
railways :and 'her farmers, her arti-
sans, her commercial and industrial
interests and her people in general
depends,
Study of what natural resources
Canada has, what development is tele
ing place and what, the possibilities
are, is most interesting and eduoatirere.
