LURE OF HIDDEN GOLD CALLS "RoARING BILL" AND
HAZEL INTO THE WILDERNESS.

synOPsia-Mlss Hazel Weir, a stenographer, Ivisg at Granville,
Ontario, is placed under a cloud by circumstances for which she is
entirely blameless To escape from the groundless gossip that pursues
her, she secures a position as schooteacher at Carboo Meadows, In a
wild part of British Columbia. There, at a boarding house, she first
sees Roaring Bil' Wagsan, a wel-known character Of that country.
Soon after her arrival Hazel loses her way while walking In the woods.
She wanders until night when she reaches Roaring Bnrs" camp fire
In the woods. He promises to take her home in the morning, but she
is compelled to spend the night in the woods. After wandering in the
woods all the next day. Roaring Bill" finally admits that he is taking
Hazel to his cabin in the mountains. Hazel finds upon their arrival az
the cabin that she cannot hope to escape from the wilderness before
spring. During the long winter Roaring BnT treats Hazel with the
greatest respect He tells her h. loves her and tries to induce her to
marry him, but she refuses. In the spring he takes her to Bella Coola,
where she can get a boat to Vancouver. At Vancouver Hazel takes q
train for Granville, but on the way she realizes that she loves Wagstan
and decided to return to him. Roaring Bnr' is overjoyed and to-
gether they travel to a Hudson bay post and are married.

their very desolation makes them seem

Red Cross food and started to plan to get
away again. There were twenty-five non
combatants and officers from the raider
Wolff in the Villingen camp and a number
of Russians. Several plans to escape failed
through treachery The Russians in the
camp were starving and would do almost
anything for food. There were few
guards who were not unfriendly, and the
Russians managed to obtain some wire
clippers from them for US. We made an
other pair and had three before the final
attempt to escape was made
"The escaping party was divided into
four groups, who were to make the attempt
at different points of the camp in order
to divide the attention of the guards.
Three groups were to use the wire-clippers

over barbed wire fence about to 10 feet

being wrenched out.

Discussing the practical formation Of
a league of nations, he divides the pro-
ponents of the idea into two groups,
placing on the extreme left "what is
practically a defeatist proposal, a mere
rehabilitation of The Hague Tribunal.
1t is tirnid scheme for delay and arbi-
tration. No interference with the po-
litical constitution or internal arrange,
ments of any state is contemplated, no
organized disarmament and control of
militarism can, therefore, occur; Ger
many undefeated and unregenerate will,
for instance, be admitted to such
league on the expression of a few pious
sentiments. This is the scope of the
American scheme of Mr.. Theodore Mar
burg. We may call these extremists the
Weak Leaguers' and their proposal the
Weak League of Nations
Coming to the other group, he says:
"But the common sense of practical men
breaks away from this proposal to keep
the peace by gossamer. It breaks away in
two directions, which are not nearly SO
opposed as one may think at the first
glance. One is to reject and abuse the
idea of league of nations ON the assump-
ton that the Marburg scheme exhausts its
the other is TO put more substance into

New Kinds of
L Thinking Demanded

1T is no good clinging to ideals Of a,
world of unrestricted free trade and
laissez faire if the world controls of the
league of nations are to come into exist
ence; it is equally unreasonable to dream
of schemes for self-contaned British
Empire, taxing the foreigner and eco
nomically hostile to all foreigners, includ-
ing France, Italy and the United States.
We have to cease to think imperially as we
have had to cease thinking parochially,
and we have to think now in terms of the
peace Of the world. The league of ma
tions points straight to a pooling of en-
pires, and it is no good blinking the fact
And since it cannot operate in an atmo-
sphere tainted by suspicion, the league of
nations demands for its effective onera-
