HONDURAS REJECTS LABOURERs

With the closing down Of the Panama Cam
al as o source for supplying labour to a vast
number Of West indians, we had been made
to believe TINT two new fields though small,
had been opened which would, for a brief
period at leust, satisfy the carvings Of those
who had been thrown out Of employ before
achieving their aim. Honduras was one Of
these two places, and looking to ME vast
fields said to be there awaiting deyelOpnIeAl,
we had hoped to see a strong current OF en-
migration flowing thither at no far distant
date. But recent information from that

'Just the same, | cannot understand why
the Government of this country does not
protect the people from the consequences Of
the present horribly w~asteful methods of
mining and using coal. That would be COLI

Edison told Of his suggestion for great
electric power plants ut the mouths OF the
coal mines, using high-voltage transmission
lines for the distribution of current over
long distances.
"But | see Ramsay has gone me one bet
ter" he SAID, as he explained the British
scientists plan for burning the coal in the
mine itself, using the resultant gusses to
operate combustion engines as prime movers
for electrical generating equipment.
"After the coal is gone 2" He repeated the
question. "Never fear. Something will be
found. All the water power will be devel-
oped then will come tidal power, power
from the winds, solar engines, and we can't
even guess what besides.
But for the present it is simply a qaes-
ton of dollars aud cents. While YOU can
get coal for two or three dollars q ton, the
required investment makes it impossible to
develop tidal power at a profit. But when
coal IS gone, an Investment which would be
absurd now may appear in quite another

GREECE TAKES OYER
TWO TURKISH ISLANDS
ChiOs and Mitylene Formally
AnneXed-PrOtest From
OttOmans Expected.

ATHENS. June 13-The Government
to-day formally announced the annexa-
ton OF the Turkish Islands OF Chos and
Mitylene. This action will undoubtedly
exasperate the Turks. who have made a
big fight for the retention OF these islands
on the ground that they were necessary
for the defence OF the adjacent Ottoman
territory.
II is feared in diplomatic circles that
this action by Greece at time when the
feeling between Turkey and Greece Is
extremely bitter will bring about a grave
crisis. The Powers in discussing the pos
session of the Aegean Islands which had
been occupied by Greece during the war
finally reached a conclusion awarding nine
OF the eleven islands to Greece. The only
ones returned to Turkey were Tene dos and
lmbros. Chios and Mitylene were coded
TO Greece with seven others.
The Ottoman Government was greatly
chagr!ned over this decision and on Jam
uary 22 OF the present year notified the
representatives OF the Powers at Constan-
the unjust decision of the Powers" in re-
gard to the Aegean Islands and that she
would do her utmost to retain Chios and
Mitylene.

ands unless she received important con-

Jeffrey Prophecy Proved

THOSE who are buying Jeffrey cars this
year must feel great deal of satisfac-
ton in the continued proof of our earlier
statements. Their cars will be right up to
