 In thb old, when transpor- tation and Eommunication facilities were not wl}at they arc now the world may have been Il stage whercon the perforhnance of every actor was obvious to his audience. Local af- fairs had the attention of all. They were not able to sec afar and gain an idea of what went on outside. To- day, the deeds of the Russian, the Chinese and tho Australian are told to us in the same breath as the hap pcnincs of our homo city and with as much rlomptnCsS as to time. We arc all interested in our direct sur roundinss but we have a vast in- tcrest in affairs of the far-aWay world that has not been present until late generations. It is marvellous when one considers the intrcacicS with which modern civilization is sur rounded, the things which the cdu- CatCd person is supposed to know. And the standard Of education is being carried into places where it would never have been thought of a few years ago. The WhirlWind of events is being watched by all and the thrcc-ring circus is furnishing d Val riety of events that require the closest attention.
 In the central ring the performers arc just retiring; they of course arc the delegates to tic Peace Table. The tabcau they have furnished has been the central focusSinS point for all eyes. The affair was held four thou sand miles from here but every move of it's participants was Immediately known. Thousands of newspaper men watched it and reported at once. The acts of tho delegates were as well, and as quickly, noted in Australia, and at the ends of the earth. aS in this country. From this ring has radated tho local political arguments, such as our senate action and the minor fights abroad.
 Meanwhile we arc to read and dis cuSs tho tWcnty-threc or more wars going on. The Bolshcviki occupy the center of this stage as the outcome of their operations is of more effect upon our future than any other ac- tion. Why go into details about fight ing about the earth? The news col umns keep you informed.
 Then the British dirgible R-3t is preparing 10 start across the ocean from England to the United States. There is a heavier than air machine ready to start on what might prove to be the second trip across the At lantic from NcwGoundland. The na- ton is going dry. Jess Willard and Dempsey arc going to meet for fight which is to decide the cham pionship of the United States. The Irish nation question is interesting many. Polish PoGroms arc also to be looked into. We have local nlur- ders which we must read, and so forth almost without limit. 1t would take up much space to cover the field. Tn fact there arc many columns in this paper given 10 just such a pur- pose.
 It certainly seems to be a great world we arc living in. Humanity must have it's interests and they arc hero now as never bcfore It is i'm possible to conjecture how we are 10 keep track of any more events than now exist Possibly one ring of the circus must be given our entire at tention. Even now miss lot that goes on in a nearby ring by centralizing on tho one in which we are most interested. Ii is getting con fusing, but on with the dance of events We will do our best to watch them all.
