Peace, and the acceptance of the allied terms, is the Turkish decision that concludes the tense Near East situation, and the whole British Em- pire joins in a sigh of relief. Once more the vigilance of the Empire's leaders with a background of Im- perial naval and military strength, has been the real element that saved war in which the Christian world might have been faced by millions of Mahommedan followers stirred by Turkey's call to arms. Greece has not. been entitled to much of the world's sympathy before or since the end of the world war, but to prevent greater calamity Britain has been forced to adopt measures which pro- tected that country against the re- sults of its own folly, An early and easier settlement of the Near East problem could have heen reached ex- cept for the attitude of France, which has heen exerting its influence on behalf of Turkey, and secretly giving Kemal support which was in- imicable to British influence.

In Pales- tine explorers of the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania have dis- covered the burial place of the Slayer of the Innocents, Antiochus, a cousin of Herod, who was entrusted with the task of destroying the children in an effort to destroy the Christ Child, This is the nearest approach to the discovery of records dating back to the life time of Christ. In Syria, French scientists, since the occupation of that country by France, have discovered exquisite gold and glass objects in the tomb of an Egyp- tian Princess, four thousand years old. The articles include a sword, a ring and a plate, all of gold, and richy engraved, and a volcanic glass | goblet mounted in gold. They prove ! that even at that time, commercial relations had heen established be- | tween Egypt, Greece and Syria. A 1 ---------------------- | GET READY FOR THE CHASE. | SPECIAL TRAIN FOR HUNT.

These are the rays, often called meduliary, or pith rays, because some of them appear as ex- tensions of the pith into the wood. In all the conifers and most hard- woods these rays are foo fine to show distinctly. In others, as in maple, cherry and mahegany they are distinct, but not conspicuous, Capital Punishment has been abol- ished by the Queensland Govern- ment, It is the first State Govern- The New Improved Gillette ically changed men's ideas of what : i comfort satisfaction constitutes in shaving. and ' And the man who is hard to ew Im- Stop in and talk to the Gillette dealer. - He will point out & SPF improved features the New The New Improved illette so Patented Canada Aug 31,1920 fare, and which now is climbing to a commercial success over more brok- ! en promises.
