The Call of The Road

It's real fall on the one-night stands;
It's only colder weather here.
I'm getting lonely for the road,
We've played New York solid year.
I'd like to take to trains again.
Now that the country's red and gold,
l guess we can't get out just yet,
Not while this standing-room is sold.
I'd like to see the fields run by
And watch the farmhouse chimney smoke
I'd ike to take an early jump
And see the sunrise for joke.

Unknown Canada

1t is seldom realized that about fourth of the
continental part of Canada nearly million SQUARE
miles. must be regarded unexpIored That is the
estimate of Mr. Charles CamseIl of the Canadian &C.
illogical Survey, who describes the principal unex-
plored areas in issue of the Geographical
Review.
Mr.. Camse classiies them in three types. Two
thirds of all unexplored Canada lies in the Lauren
tian Plateau-a vast of ancient rocks that ex.
tends in U-shaped conformation round Hudson
Bay from the Atlantic Coast Of Labrador to the line
of great lakes consisting of Winnipeg, Athabaska.
Great Slave and Great Bear Its rocky lake studded
surface makes it unsuted to agriculture even in the
south, where the climate is sufficiently mild Min
erals form The resources of the region The second
type OF country represented by the great central
plains of the continent. About one hundred and fen
thousand square miles of the unexplored regions on
both sides of the Mackenzie River are of that TYNE
much of it probably suited to agriculture The third
type is that of the Cordillera which includes most
of those portions of the Mackenzie River
about hundred and thirty thousand square miles
The chief value of that is probably its mineral
resources.-Selected.

Who is The One to Blame

[ stood alone at the rim of the earth
And watched the human throng,
1 saw the struggle of each soul
heard the gladness of their song;
But, through all their toll and mirth
A chaos existed there,
|. And, though the help was at either hand
They struggled away from day to day
As only human can.
l gazed afar through the universe
For the sight of one contented man,
But, though searched the ends of the earth
And conceived for each new plan
They turned away day after day
To the gods they worshipped below,
Each one with but thought of gain,
Though each lesson learned, each lesson
spurned
So who, ay tell me, who is the one to blamei
Oh, the years we use in fruitless toll
To spend for a moment of Joy,
Are they worth the fears and the counties.
And the means that we employ?
Are they worth the love of our fellowmer
That pass US day by day?
Are thew worth the sneers and the mockine
jeers
That is ours alone to payl
Are they worth the hopes that bids US strive
To reach new heights of Fame,
And if we fall, do they he'd our call
Then, who is the one to blamel

Autumn's Call

Lift up your eyes we sad ones,
And look upon the hills.
What gladstone glow of colors
Their heights with beauty fills!
Behold the forests standing,
ROBBED like festal throng,
The joyous landscape leading
In bright prismatic song.
Lift up your eyes ye glad ones,
And gaze upon the hills,
Until their regal splendor
Your souls with rapture fills.
Join with exultant nature,
And harvest anthems raise,
The year is crowned with goodness,
o give Jehovah praise.

Trade Growing. The total Philippine
imports in the last fiscal year amounted to
more than $S3, 76O, 900 and the total exports
to about $116, 615, 900. This is material
increase over the totals for the preceding
year. About 80 per cent of the imports
came from the United States and about IS
per cent of the exports were sent to Ameri-
can markets. The principal factor in the
export ins rease was the growing demand for
Philippine cigars. There were also con-
siderable increases in exports of copra and
cocoanut oil.

"Some ~ workers are having hair
breadth escapes every day, not every
man every day, but each in his time
with regularity to Justify saying
some men every day. Eight Of our
men with the Canadians have been
killed, and we cannot expect to escape
unscathed. They work from six

o'clock at night seven days a week.
with q week off every three months
and many never take their week off.
On one occasion of which know the

MANY of our workers slept on the

with nothing but a blanket between
them and the frozen earth, and with

were all eagerness for more. The
Germans had sent picked troops
against them, their strongest men in
brand new equipment, to impress the
Americans that Germany had an
abundance of everything, material
and robust men. Quite contrast to
the ill-equipped emaciated men the
French had taken prisoners. The
Americans gave such good account OF
themselves in this fight that the
French could not praise them enough

warning from the fate of Others"
Boast Also of Cruelty.
1t Is claimed also in this document
that more than $4,000 British have
been made prisoners, and in this con-
nection the following statement is
made:
although to these figures the Eng
fish oppose 124,S06 German prisoners
taken by them on the western front, 1t
must be remembered the English treat
their prisoners with notable kindness
(blandura notoria), while the regime
imposed on the English prisoners by
the Germans Is one of extreme rigor,
so that the Germans, with a small
number of prisoners, have secured O
much superior moral effect.
Besides, to the 2,2G4 officers and
61,325 soldiers, must be added the sew
eral thousand English prisoners that
have died In consequence of disease,
scanty food and other accidents in
German concentration camps"
The figures regarding British pris-
oners, 1t Is explained, refer to the total
prior to the recent drive in Picardy and
Flanders.
