ATHENS.-(By Mail. Ital-
ian liner comes across the Adriatic
and lonian seas toward Greece with
all lights out at night and the hearts
of passengers and crew in their
threats.
Any moment the big bang may
come. They tell you what life boat
to get into Your, seat is reserved
for you like seat in the theatre.
The boats won't be crowded this
trip. There are fifteen big boats and
only thirty passengers.
AT last, on the second morning, you
sight land. The ship runs straight
toward a range of hills. Closer and
closer to the billy shore we go.
Suddenly you see we are heading
for niche cut thru the mountain
range. 1t is straight as string.
You can see its further entrance five
miles away, where it opens into the
AEGEAN sea.
This is the Corinthian canal, plan
ned and started by old Nero himself,
and finished just as the twentieth
century opened, little over Is years
ago.
1t is church time Sunday morning.
III lttle village near tne entrance
of the canal bell is ringing. 1t
sounds like a church bell. but when
you put your glasses on the village
you discover that you are hearing
the clatter of Greek railroad train
pulling into the NsAe station on the
outskirts of the town.
What town is that" you ask a
Greek fellow passenger.
That's Corinth."
Why there are two books in the
Bible named for this little town. And
here's train drawing into it past
water tank-iust like tank in
any Kansas town-stopping at the
station just like any station in the
Indiana country.
Sunday morning, and here before
you is Corinth. Partof it is hidden
it is true, by a ship full of Greek
soldiers, bound for the Balkan from
tier.

that he was still alive, but soon to be

Gently given year Imprisonment at
Calgary for forgery. 1t is alleged his
confession is in the hands of the local
federal authorities.
He claimed that while he was in
the employ of German Consul Bopp
in this city that he was promised
500 and bonus for every munition
ship he destroyed. He claimed that he
received $500 for the attempt to de
stroy the Canadian Pacific railroads
bridge in British Columbia in order
to delay the movement of troops.
1t is alleged that he delivered one
bomb to Bopp.
The prisoner admitted that he had
double crossed Bopp.

indictments against Baron Won Brick

Pompeii.
We get the ship's bible and brush
up on Corinth. st. Paul established
a little church here once.
As we run over the two letters he
wrote TO the folks in the church that
once stood in this town, we found out
that there were times when st. Paul
was worried about the way things
were going with the church folks.
Some one in this little town that
lies before us one day received one
of these letters from Paul, which had
come by boat, perhaps which, no
matter how wars have come and gone
the world has never forgotten. 1t be-
gins:
h"Tho l speak with the tongues of
men and of angels and have not char
ity, | am become as sounding brass.
or tinkling cymbal."
From the plateau behind the old
town a road winds down to meet the
village main street. With our glasses
we can see long brown worm NOV
ing slowly down the road toward the
town. 1t is made of the soldiers of
Greece, marching to the Corinth
wharf to sail away toward the war.
Aeroplanes in this war have flown
over Nazareth. Jerusalem In the war
zone and here before your eyes Greek
soldiers are threading the streets of
Corinth.
On our left is Mount Parnassus,
where the Greek gods used to live,
and as we sail into the high walled
canal we see a Greek sentry standing
on a jutting headland, with the old
home of the gods behind him.
Salonika and the Balkan front are
a nights ride away.

II die had said well. am getting too old now to

He says he still has seventeen years of usefulness
and Tint he will accomplish much in this time. So
he is rebuilding his factory, and spreading op-

and the fanaticism OF business men who are afraid
OF their shadows these days are worth studying and

any of the kind of men Ediso6 describes III An

are not going right" when should be hustling
to make them go right? Is there any real cause
for oil this hard times talk are SO fond Of in

brace up and get busy DOING things. We must
do this or suffer tho conscquences
