The millions of people who frequent the picture theatres learn to know and to like the persons who appear upon the | screen, and they love to imagine that in real life they are as good and true as in the characters they portray. They do not wish the mask torn away from their favorites by un- pleasant announcements of domestic 'troubles, Whatever may be the cause of the high percentage of divorces among reacting unfavorably upon the 'pro- fession. When once a favorite actress appears in the divorce court, the old deception has gone, and she loses much, if not all, of her power to charm, Perhaps there is in the life of the actors something which tends to domestic unhappiness, but the public Would like to imagine the frequency with which they have of late had recourse to the courts but "a chance ¢onditon which is not apt to continue. mi ------ THE HUNS LOSE AGAYN. Germany is helping the Reds of Russia, declares the Watertown, N.Y. Times. Of course, The world would Dot expect anything else. Trotzky has been in Eastern Prussia getting as- sistance. He has sold the crown jew- els of Russia to buy Hun munitions. The Germans take his money, They ope to make a double play. They elm to get what they can financially Gut of an arrangement which they figure will work to their advantage even if they were to make no charge for the materials. ; The new German government has pinned much of its hope for the fu- ture on the rise of Trotzky. There was a rising tide of hopefulness in all the days when the Reds were gaining in Poland. The Germans pol- ished up again their old motto about a place in the sun, They look to- ward the Pacific. They cast their eyes into Persia and the lands of the east. If the Reds could help them to rehabilitate their fortunes they would not hesitate to form an alli- | ance. Germany makes no fine distine- tion as to partners. She is willing to Accept anyone who will advance her fortunes. That is why she allies her- self with Red Russia by helping out Trotzky. The Red collapse has removed for the present at least the elements of ddhger which confronted Europe a week ago, There can be no onsweep of the Bolshevist army over Poland menace countries in all directions. It means that Europe hy saved from a most serious situation. But Europe will not he safe until the Red fury spends itself it Russia. Gradu- ally 'it is weakening, it we are to Judge from the Bolshevik debacle as witnessed during the past few days. It the London Times is to be credited, says the New York World, the British government is about to cap a good record in Egypt by prof- fering some such a measure of self- détermination as the United States has given to Cuba and promised to. the Philippines, . : Egypt has never been free, as we understand the word. Kings=~na- tive and foreign; black and white; African, Greek, Roman, Arab--have succeeded each other. The long Turkish dominion was one unbroken record of crueities and mis-govern- ment. Great Britain's seizure of the protectorate was for the people a de- liverance, Taxes have been reduced. Ismail's lands restoréd to the people, the arable area greatly increased; even the rainfall has crept further up the Nile, with increasing vegetation. But old men who remember the Khedi- vial barbarities grow fewer every year; younger men of the compara- tively small 'educated class, journa- lists, officials, traders, are nearly all fiercely set on independence, Complete independence is not offered, so far 'as 'the canal and foreign relations are concerned, but a protectorate. The abolition of the capitulations = should please every honest observer. ' Past conditions, 'under which citizens of all nations might claim a consular trial even for crime, did not tend to Preserve order or insure justice. 4 Should the news be true, questions will at once confront the new nation. Who are the Egyptians : the fella- heen, Nubians, Copts, Arabs, Turks, "Franks" ? Will the ten million oslems respect the rights of the one million Ohristians ?

The annexation of Canada should be extremely unpopular with every thinking American British North America will be the salvation of the United States some day, and that day is so near that most of us will live to see it. There will be a sudden exodus from "God's country' one of these mornings that will stock this land so full of people that traffic will be impeded, They, will camp in the fields, they will sleep in the barn, in the woodshed, on the verandah, in the garage, the milk cellar, the henhouse, any old place, and we will have the time of our lives. - I believe that the destinies of na- tions are in the hands of God.

This was brought home to us the other day by the visit of the Rt. Rev.

Well, as I was. saying, the town of Bullock's Corners tendered Rt. Rev. Giveadam Jones the free- dom of the "city." I want you all to distinctly understand that I had rothing to do with it. Our Ameri- can cousins have a formidable prob- lent on their hands in the shape of the negro question, and I felt and did not hesitate to say that this big black Methodist priest might en- courage a lot of idle darkies in Ala- bam and Louisiana to get sassy. I pointed out to Mister Hosea Snort. mayor of Bulloch"s Corners, that Britain had a sore spot of her own in the shape of Ireland, and we cught to be careful how we encour- aged revolutionaries in a friendly ccuntry. He said he didn't give a damn for that--he was Irish him- self on his mother's side, and her fa- ther was Pennsylvania Dutch. This comes of electing a retired and cities are practically in the hands of the U.F.0. For more than a generation they have been insidi- ously taking possession.
