UnexpIored Land in Canada.

Within the borders of Ontario are
three tracts Of 5000 to 5000 square
miles each that no white man has ever
explored. 1t Is estimated that east
Of Reindeer lake and Kasan river is
a region of $4,000 square miles area,
larger than New York, New Jersey,

D School Strikes In japan,

School strikes seem peculiar to ia
pan, and invariably one is under way.
Such a strike is a calamity dreaded
by head master and undermaster alike.
A head master who has had strike
in his school is under suspicion, even
though he may be, quite innocent of
any unjust conduct, and eventually he
must seek new field for his activities,
so unpleasant do the students make
his continued stay. When students
combine against one of the undermas-
tiers he has nothing to do but tender
his resignation. If the strike is tenn
porarily Gained down it is tacitly I'M
derstood that the master in question
is on the lookout for new place.
Sometimes strikes take place for the
retention Of the teacher rather than
for his dismissal In this latter case
it is always the head master who
suffers the most, as the move is direct
ed against him for not retaining some
fayOrite,

900 remaining registrants into five
classes in order of their eligibility for
military service. was announced by
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
Details of the plan, which has been
approved by President Wilson, are

ever, 10 do away with virtually all the
complicated machinery Of the first
draft. The plan was worked out at
conferences with local and district
board officials and approved by the
various state authorities.
Its chief features are that every reg
istered man will know his exact posi-
tion and be able to arrange his affairs
accordingly and that no man deemed
necessary in any important industry
or needed at home to support his fam
lily will be called to the colors unless
the military situation is desperate.
