policy are seen in the terms in which

review Of the international situation:
The situation surrounding Italy's claims
before the Peace Conference for RIGHTS
along the Adriatic seaboard has reached
an acute phase. The Council Of Four on
Sunday again listened to arguments by
Premier Celando and Foreign Minister
Sonnino who endeavoured to straighten
out the tangle, but their efforts seemingly
went for naught, so far as a give and
take method of settling the controversy
is concerned. President Wilson did not
take part in the session of the council
and i. is asserted that on Monday when
a further effort will be made to surmount
the obstacles which are ~hindering an
agreement, he likewise will be absent.

London, April 10th. -Sebastopol has
been evacuated by the Crimean Govern

that after negotiations with the Allied
Command an agreement was reached for
an eight day armistice expiring on April
25th. Early in April the Allied troops
were driven back in the Crimea when the
Bolshevik troops captured Perekop. The
isthmus of Perekop has been fortified by
the Allies for the protection of the naval
base at SebastopoI but the Allies were
greatly outnumbered and have been CON
tinuously pressed back. One report said
recently that a French squadron was on
the way to the Black Sea presumably
with the object of saving the great naval
base. Russian wireless advices on A ril

KEEP COOL AND KEEP WELL
Some Points of Importance to Be Re-
membered When an Epidemic ls
Threatening Public Health.


At its worst any epidemic takes but
a relatively small toll Of the popula-
uon, and as a rule the majority OF
people are resistant to the assaults OF
the worst disease germs, including in
huenza, If. they but take ordinary care
Of themselves. This is important.
Whatever medical science may advise
as to prevention or as to treatment,
one simple fact that outweighs every
thing else is that If every individual
will but follow the normal life he has
led, eat those things that are suited to
his system, things he has always eaten
with resulting good health. rest and
sleep as usual and avoid overfatigue
while carrying on his work, also as
usual, he will escape the pestilence.
There is no excuse for any panic.
Above all, the Individual should re-
member that the first and last rule to
follow in this state Of things-is to keep
cool and keep well. For the man who
will keep cool will keep well. and the
man who keeps well and has all his
faculties about him will keep cool.

ExtraVdQance,

It makes no difference who admins
ters the extravaganza or how high the
purpose is, extravaganza is an evil in
Itself. There Is somewhat in the very
fact that invites venality and corrup-
ton. The very sight Of great pile
Of money excites desire that too often
finds some way for satisfying itself.
The papers are full of instances of
this kind. In fact, we could write a
pretty good history Of the country If
we limited our narrative to graft and
grabbing only, and yet much Of 1t is
overlooked because it is usual and ex-
pected. Extravaganza has made many
an unearned fortune and it is doing as
much these days. especially in govern
ment contracts. This country should
hasten to apply the doctrine that an
overcharge is a crime and that profit
eering is treason. There is nohing
that so destroys the democratic level
Of nation, whether it appears on the
heights or in the depths.--Ohio State
Journal.

Made First Cash Reqister.

A man named Jacob Ritty, mer
chant of Dayton, o., took a vacation
trip to Europe. While crossing on the
steamer, he sauntered one day into the
engine room and noticed device that
mechanically recorded the number OF
revolutions of the propeller shaft. I'M
mediately came the idea to the mind
Of Mr. Ritty: "Why not invent ma
chine that would record each coin put
into the cash drawer?" When he re-
turned home he invented the first
"cash register" John H. Patterson
was keeping a grocery store in a-small
town so miles from Dayton. He heard
of the Ritty contrivance, sent an or
der for one, and that was the
inventors first order. The machine
was crude, but it interested Mr.. Pat
terson and he saw how it could be per-
fected. eff it's good for my store" he
argued, "why not for all stores"
Forthwith he went to Dayton, bought
the Ritty interest out, and started the
National Cash Register Co., which has
now 100000 machines and every
year turns out more than 600oO cash
registers.

RACIAL BLENDINGS IN SYRIA
So Many Nations Have Overrun the
Country That No One Race Can
Claim Pre-eminence.

Syria, the region extending from the
Taurus mountains to Egypt and from
the desert to "the great sea-" Is the
land of the patriarchs and prophets
and apostles-"the Holy Land" Its
population numbers about three and
one-half million Of Semitic origin.
speaking the Arabic language, and yet
with so many races intermingled
through the centuries of the various
conQuests and occupations that the
people cannot claim any one race as
their own. Greek, Roman and Euro
psAa crusader, all have blended with
the aeient Semitic stock to produce the
Syrians of today.
In Syria was the one green spot
of Turkey-the Lebanon mountains. In
1850, because of the massacres, the
European powers insisted that these
mountains be made autonomous. And
since that date this little district has
been living demonstration of what
the people Of the land are capable OF
becoming.
The steep mountain sides have been
terraced to a height Of 1000 feet and
planted to olives. figs and vines. Taxes
have been low, safety to person and
property secured, good roads built and
kept in repair. The people have con-
structed more comfortable homes and
have sent their sons to schools and col
leges.
The story Of the achievements of
the Lebanon and its sons during these
go years of autonomy would be thrill
ing narrative in itself.

Strike That Failed.

Labor strikes were frequent even
In the earliest recorded days. An
important strike occurred in Egypt
during the reign Of Cheops, several
thousand years before the Christian
era. While the great pyramid
erected in honor Of that monarch was
in course Of construction it is stated
that $4,000 workmen refused to con-
tinue their labors. They were dis
satisfied with the food furnished to
them, which was insufficient in guam
tity and poor in quality. Argument
proving useless on the part Of the
contractors, soldiers were ordered to
drive the strikers back to work, and
many thousands Of them were cut to
pieces, while those who could escape
fed. The others were compelled to re-
sumo their labor.
