Many Big League Clubs Sold.

Many changes have come in the OWL
ership of major league ball clubs dur
ing the last few years. Since along in
1911 and 1912 there have been eight
changes of ownership in the sixteen
clubs. and before the year is out there
may be at least two and probably three
others.
The Red SoX were sold to Joe Lam
min by the Mc.Alcer interests in 1912.

The merchant marine of Greece was
approximating a million tons ut the
outbreak of the war. Less than 20
per cent OF this was engaged in traffic
with the Levant. Greek ships were
found in all parts Of the world. \
Transatlantic line between Greece and
the United States had just been estab-
lishrd. with the King Constantine. II
10000 ton vessel, in commission. The
conSort of the Constantine. Queen SO
phia. of similar tonnage also was to be
placed in the transatlantic service.
Railroad construction was part of
the dream of new Greece after the
Macedonian territory was acquired.
An American company was supplying
the material for what was known as
the Junction line from rapapouli to
TopSin. This was about sixty miles in
length and was to link Greece with
her new northern provinces and place
the peninsula in direct touch with
western Europe. 1t was even thought
that 'hlS route might he taken for the
overland English mail to India in place
OF the Brindisi route. No one now en-
poets to live to see English mails car
ried through Germany and Austria and
Greece to he transshipped at Grecian
ports for India.
Whatever the Greece may he that
energies from the world war, the coun-
try Will be like the rest of Europe in
having added to her national debt. \
part of this debt was contracted dur
ing the war with Turkey in 1897 and
was under the control of an interna-
tional financial commission. This com
mission administered the government
monopoly of salt. petroleum. tobacco.
matches and other commodities and
controlled custom houses. 1t applied
a certain part of the receipts to the
payment of interest and the amortiZa-
ton of the debt and turned the balance
over to the government. The receipts
from the sources controlled by the
financial commission amounted in the
last year for which statistics are given
approximately to $16.OOO.OOO.
Greece. under the international re-
luirementS. also assumed a part of the
Turkish debt in connection with its ac-
Quirement of Macedonia and other
Turkish territory. but the apportion-
ment OF the moun has not ct been
made and cannot be made i'm present
circumstances.
In 1914 h government arranged q
new loan of $9G.OOO.OOO, and it was
stated that one-half of this had been
paid over into the treasury before the
war began. Efforts We're also made ia
float q loan in the United States: but
while Il war credit was extended by an
arrangement with American f~iEanciers
no loan was floated in this country.
The national debt of Greece at the
opening Of the war vas Approximately
$4,000 600. and. in addition to this
amount, there was a considerable float
ing debt. If Greece be drawn into tho
vortex n set of the b%elligerents OF
the other will become her creditor fol
Il much larger amount. The dream OF
a restored Grecian empire as of ancient
times vanishes, but the debt remains.

Verse 1.-What is faith?
But what. asks the reader. is faith?
1t is Il legitimate question. and the
writer seeks to give Il practical an
sWer. 1t is not an exhaustive ue1ini-
ton he seeks. but a sort of working
presence. How are we to determine
the presence of faith III a life?
'F'aith.' says the writer, sis assurance
Of or, as it is translated in the mar.
gin. the giving substance to things
hoped for" 1t is "a convictiOn.' or
test, ''or things not seen" In other
words, faith is the inner possession
that gives us certainty of that which
lies in the future. 1t demonstrates to
us and so gives us the conviction OF the
reality Of things that are not seen. 1t
is that 10y which the invisible becomes
real and the future present. Are these
words mere sound without meaning:
NO. says the writer. for this intangible
possession has inspired the heruism
and self sacrifice of the saints i'll all
the past ages. What carried them
through disappointments and trials and
even death: This faith in the reality
of the blessings promised in the future.
Verses 3o-4O.-A glorious band.
Having given this general dcScrip-
ton of the purpose and work Of faith.
the author launches forth into a dem
onslration of the way in which it has
influenced the lives of the Old Testa-
ment worthless from Abel down to the
M%accabean heroes. Faith is to be seen
in the creative work of God, in the sac
riticc of Abel. the translation of Enoch.
in Noah's building of the ark. .Abra-
ham showed his faith by abandoning
his house for IN unknown lane. and
| the faith of Sarah was shown in the
birth of Isaac. Furthermore, the faith
of Abraham was shown in the Offering
Of Isaac. on whose life the promises
| depended. Isaac and Jacob showed
their faith in the blessings which they
gave their sons; Joseph his in the pre-
diction of the exodus. The whole ca
rcer of Moses. from the time of his
birth onward, was a record of faith.
Faith was shown in the crossing Of the
Red sea. in the downfall of the walls
of Jericho and in the preservation OF
Rahal. Thus the writer rose to his
climax? What more shall | say" An

LONDON'S BRIDGES.
The First Ct These historic Structures
Named a Juvenile Game.

'~''SS . obIIC
Can YOU remember when YOU were
Il little tykc and played "London bridge
is falling down" during recess or at
children'S parties when the girls were
not too much dressed up? The game
always ended with Il vigorous pull of
the opposing sides. with the result that
usually both forces went down in the
dust. Did you know that that child.
isll game was one of the genuine an
tiqleS and that it could trace it's origin
to Il real historic fact: The first bridge
ovrr the Thames. ut the hcadwntcrs of
navigation, about half Il mile above the
Tower. was SO old that the story of it's
construction is lost in Il maze of myths.
It's fall. however. is Il matter of record.
1t happened OF the 10th of November.
1olo. and it WAS the result of the most
devastating storm and the most terrific.
and sudden Hood that London had ever
seen.
That first bridge was entirely of
wood. 1t was not rebuilt for almost Il
century. and the second bridge oil
sisted of stone arches. resting on deep
piliny. 1t was forty feet wide and al
most Il thousand feet long, Houses

"Tllcre was one amusing incident in
connection with the Berlin congress.
one day it was announced that on the
morrow Lord HcacOnSticln was to adj
dress the assembled statesmen and
that he would speak in French. Lord
Odo Russell. who WAS Il master OF

for it was we'll known that Lord I'ea-

that they have here in You the greatest
