Junior work for December.

Very interesting things have been
suggested at headquarters for Junior
Red Cross work in December One is
that the Juniors should everywhere
hold bazaars during the Christmas
holidays. The children are supposed
to make the articles to be sold at the
baZaars themselves. This is by no
means impossible, especially for the

British Geological Photos.

A committee of the British Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Science
has been engaged for many years in
forming a national collection of photo
graphs illustrating the geology of the
British isles. According to the last
report the collection now includes up
ward of 5000 pictures. More than a
thousand of these were taken In
Yorkshire. A collection of the same
character has been made by the geolo-
gical survey of Great Britain, which
has recently published a list of its
Scottish pictures. Both the B. A. COM
mittee and the geological survey offer
prints and lantern slides for sale. The
Tunbridge Wells Natural History so
ciety offers prizes for photographs of
scenery illustrating geological features.

ANOTHER SAD SIDE OF WAR

:" ~! "'t''!.. was sitting IN Simpsons
hardy ni.n in Canadian uniform
started TO converse with him. The
Canadian was working in a large
automobile factory in Windsor when
the war started, but enlisted in a
Canadian regiment and has been In
five of the worst battles of the war.
Hardly a handful of the men who
started with him are still on the roster.
This particular soldier was about to
leave for the trenches again after COM
pleting his leave. There was nothing
remarkable in that, but this Is his
story:
Inside his coat he wore the Victoria
Cross. He got it ut Ypres, where he
carried a captain three hundred feet
through No Mans Land with bullets
flying all about him. He has no ac-
quaintances in England. He hasn't a
relative in the world. He was just
hungering for some one to talk to
when he saw the American. He re-
luctantly showed his decoration, and
said it would give him great happiness
II he had some one somewhere in the
world who was close enough to him to
slap him on the back and say, Good
old chap!"
Still he wasn't maudlin about 1t. He
was just one of thousands who are
carrying honors around with them and
have no relative or intimate friend
to congratulate them. It's war.
This particular soldier said as he
left X:
"If I ever get through I'm going
back to the States, but the odds are
against me. We can't always beat this
lighting game. It's like roulette. 1t
gets you in the long run. There Is
only one man of my original company
left besides myself. london Mail.

TO RESTORE PERSIA's STATUS
Russian BoIshevik Authorities An
nounce Intention of Giving II
Its Former independence.

A little more than ten years ago, in
1907, Persia ceased to be a sovereign
nation in anything but name and was
resolved into twin spheres of influ-
ence." The northern half was Rus
sian sphere, the southern half British
The pressure from north and south
grew until 1t forced out the American,
Morgan Shuster, who had come to put
Persia on its financial feet.
That was an incident of imperialism
1t was British-Russian alliance to
block off Germany from getting into
Persia from the west by way of Turkey
and the Berlin-Bagdad line. Under
the Queensberry rules of Imperialism
1t was a fair stroke, with plenty of
historical precedent, says the Boston
Globe.
Now the foreign minister of a Rus
sian government that has no regard
for Imperialism and its rules has sent
word to Persia that the 1907 agree
ment is all off, null and void, and that
Russia will now try tc relieve her of
Turkish and British troops, too
In announcing this doctrine of Per-
sia for the Persians and putting 1t
into practice, the Russian bolshevik
government UNNECESSARILY strength
ened the position it took at Brest-Lit-
ovsk and at Petrograd in demanding
liberation for all subject nationalities.
1t is fair to say that the British min
istry to-day would be slow to apply
the mailed fist of Imperialism as in
Persia in 1907. Much water has flow
ed under the bridges since, and the i'm
perialistic tide is ebbing fast.

siamese Study in United States.

About fifteen students from Siam
have registered at American educa-
tional institutions this year to qualify
in the professions of law, medicine and
civil engineering. Several such stu
dents have in the past graduated from
American colleges and engineering
schools and are now employed by their
own government in important public
works.
Incidentally they have been the
means of Introducing American ma
chinery, scientific apparatus and other
manufactures into their country.
Among the students who left the Unit
ed States in August were four holders
of kings scholarships, and these young
men will be educated at the expense
of the Siamese government.

of Justice Doctor Muck, held to be
an enemy alien in spite Of his claims
to Swiss citizenship, supported by the
Swiss legation, will be turned over to
the military authorities. who will de-
eide where he shall be imprisoned.
The Department Of Justice, after an
extensive investigation Of Doctor
Muck's record Of pro-Germau sympa'
thies and utterances and his close
associations in the past with State
leaders in Germany, decided it would
be dangerous TO permit him TO remain
at large. His claims of Swiss citizen
ship, based on the fact his father was
naturaliZed in Switzerland after
moving from Germany, were Overruled
under the espionage act, which per-
mits the internment OF a "denizen"
of an enemy country.
Doctor Muck was arrested about
two weeks ago and held on a presiden.
tial warrant while the Department Of
Justice reviewed reports of secret
agents who have followed the former
orchestra leaders movements for sew
eral years since he obtained special
permission from Emperor William TO
remain in this country. He has re-
signed his leadership Of the orchestra.
