Harbor Emergency hospital, his
right arm stained with CORY

DR.. A. Friedman gave one
look at the arm. He put MS
nose to one Of the streaks OF

roar of laughter.
sThat's not blood, my good Z

scratched his arm while loa1

gone to the first aid box for

Nose SeWed on After
Being Off One Hour

Londen.-An unusual story
was related at the King Ed
ward VII hospital at Windsor.
A stable boy, named William
Robertson, was preparing a
horse to run in race when a
skylight fell and cut his nose
clean off. He was taken to the
King Edward VII hospital with
out his nose.
The arteries were tied and
the surgeon then asked for the
nose. It was stated that it was
left behind in the stable at the
race course.
A messenger Immediately was
dispatched to the stables and
the nose was found in the straw.
1t was taken to the hospital
where an operation was per-
formed and the nose was put on
again. 1t had then been off
about an hour.
A few days later Robertson
was discharged from the hos
pital. He said it was a miracle.

One of the big jobs of the League
of Nations will be to settle affairs in
the Baltic states. Though General Won
der Goltz submitted to his government
and resigned, large part of his army
remained in Courland and, with a
force of Russians, has been making
a determined attack on Riga. The
Let's rallied to the defense of the city
and were aided. according to report,
by a British fleet. The most recent
dispatches at this writing say the Rus

now handle more than 200 food prod

among themselves.
OF course the packers, this time
through Louis B. Swift, declared the
trade commissions figures were great

based on them utterly absurd. AS US
ual, the ''big five" can supply facts and
figures to uphold their entire limo

public has learned to look askance al

Prices of food throughout the Uni.
ted States have fallen almost % per
cent, according to Attorney General
Palmer. But housewives, also through
out the United States, are asking why,
if this is true, they are forced to pay
as much as ever or more when they
visit the retail dealer
The cost of leather and of footwear
has dropped 20 per cent since the mid
die of August, says the president of
the National Boot and Shoe Manufac-
turers' association. But the consumer
is still paying exorbitant prices for
his shoes, and the aforesaid president
explains that the shoes now being man.
ufactured at reduced cost will not be
marketed before next April.
The tremendous hullabaloo about
reducing the cost of living and punish
ing the profteer has dwindled until
it can scarcely be heard with the aid
of a microphone. Just at present the
consumer is exercised about the sugar
situation which promises to develop
into a famine with % cents a pound
or more demanded for the small
amounts of sugar to be had. The do
nestle output is nowhere near enough,
and it seems most of the Cuban crop is
going to Europe. Dealers blame our
government-for this condition because
it limited the wholesale price while
European dealers were willing to pay
anything.

The League of Nations came into
being on October ID, Great Britain,
France and Italy having ratified the
treaty Steps were taken at once look
ing to its regular organization, and
goodness knows there is enough for it
to do.
The United States is still outside
the league and the contest III the SEN.
ate continues undated. Considerable
time and much, vehement language
were devoted last week to debating
the proposed Shantung amendment.
AS we expected, it was voted down,
but almost, every senator who spoke
in opposition to IT, said he favored a
reservation. on the same lines Sena-
tor Shields Of Tennessee, Democrat,
declared himself in favor of the Lodge
reservations and the Johnson amend
ment giving the United States as many
votes in the league as Great Britain.
The administration forces let it be
known on Wednesday that they were
determined to vote for rejection of the
treaty with the Lodge reservations,
and the opposition at once prepared
to retaliate with a resolution declar-
ing the war at an end and restoring
the status of peace.
The entente allies are disturbed
over the American situation because
the many commissions provided for in
the treaty must be organized very soon.
The formal exchange of ratifcations
of the treaty which will put it into
effect was delayed by the allies in con-
sequence.

ment Deniklne kept up his advance
on Moscow, capturing Orel and other
important points. The army of the
northwest under Yudenitch took Luga
and pressed on toward Petrograd,
whose fall was imminent. This army,
it was said, was working in close un-
derstanding with Admiral Kolchak
whose Siberian troops were pushing
the bolsheviki back to the European
| border. These three commanders have
rejected ali overtures from Germany,
maintaining their connection with the
allies.
An official dispatch from Archangel
said the North Russian forces were
pursuing the bolsheviki in the direc-
ton of Omega after occupying their
fortified positions along the railroad,
capturing guns and prisoners and de-
stroying an armored train. In fact,
they seem to be doing very well with
out the help of the British and Amer
lean troops that were withdrawn.
Meanwhile the British fleet in the
Baltic was very busy. The supreme
council having declared blockade Of
all Russian bolshevik ports, number
of German vessels were seized Then
the British warships moved on Kron-
stadt. After severe bOmbardment il
was evacuated by the bolsheviki and
the fleet entered the harbor. All neu-
tral nations have been asked to join
in the blockade of bolshevist Russia.
