Arahia.

Twelve per cent. of all the people in the world take their rules of con- duet and laws of life from Heeea, and, take a keen personal interest in all that happens in Arabia, and to Ara bia."
 That is why, according. to g bulie- tin from the National Geographic so- eiety, the complicated problem Of Arabias disposition portends SD much to the future peace of the world Quoting from a communication by Frederick Simpich, tile bulletin con- tinues: Tn physical character, fora. and fauna, Arabia is more like Africa than Asia. In shape, it is almost a trian- gle, and 1t runs from northwest to southeast. It is bounded on the east, south, and west by the Persian. Gulf, the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea re- spectively; oh the north it joins Sy- ria. As Josephus of old wrote. Ara bia is a country that joins Oil Judea, ; And Roman ge6gra phefs drew a frap of Arabia that included Mesopotan1ia and the Syrian desert back of Pales- tine.
 ''The length of the peninsula from the head of the Gulf of Akabah to the i Straits of Bab- -Mandeb, near Alden, is about 1900 miles; it's greatest ] breadth, in latitude 23 degrees north, 1 from the Red Sea coast or, the west 1 to Ras- -Hadd on the east, is about 50e miles. ..~ |.

THE NEwsgHEy CASE

The same as there always Is under such circumstances there will be wide- spread interest in the outcome of the trial of Senator Truman H. Newbefry and the many others who have been indicted with him for political corrup- tion in the extensive use of money in securing his victory over Henry Ford for place in the United States sen ate. That was a memorable contest and the people of that state, as well ss those of the country, cannot have failed many times to have corigrattI lated thenselves that he won whether they voted for or against him. in view of the spectacle MT. Ford made in tes- tifying during a recent lawsuit.
 It Is claimed under the indictment that both state and federal laws have been violated by the use of money and from every indication there will De desire on the part of the &C., cused to have the matter speedily disposed of in court. Senator New berry is a not only a man of proini. hence in business circles in Detroit but throughout Michigan, and tn, country knows him as secretary oi the navy in the cabinet of Presidert Roosevelt. That there will be d dis position to disbelieve the charges al brought is not unlikely and certainl, 1t is- most unjust to prejudge the mat ter until the facts have all beei brought out.
 Because the indictments have beei brought does not mean that the ac cused are guilty. Senator Newberr was anxious for a thorough inquir- into the campaign following the cleo tion result and it is certain that h, will not dodge this charge in any re spect. That the indictments ma have been stimulated by political bia does not warrant them being aecepte and it does not warrant them bein disregarded. There should be a there promises to be a speedy hearin of the cases. There are importan principles involved and the quicker th situation can be cleared the better.

1921 ESTIMATES.

The estimates of Secretary Glass whereby it is indicated that it will cost close to five billion dollars to run this government during the year 1921 make it seem like dream when a few years ago we were holding up our hands in surprise at the fact that we were re- duiring a billion dollars to look dfter our nations affairs. But we have rot to do business, we must meet the con. ditions that exist, we must meet our war expenses and we must at the same time look after the various branches of the government in a fit ting manner We are out of the war and all but technically at peace but we must continue to pay for what we have been through.
 Almost fourth of the estimates will be required to meet the interest on our war debt of about sS5, ,6OO, 900 = 900. There will be a time some day when we will get the benefit of the loans made to other countries, and there will be a time when there will be reduction in the naval construction programme as well as the completion of the shipping contracts. though from the expenditures for new ships we ought to be at least able to balance accounts as they are sold. What we can expect in the way of future army expenses can best be, determined af- ter the reorganization has been ef- fected. But we cannot fail to realize that annual estimates as now put forth are to a large extent the direct result of the war. included in which Is over a quarter of billion for the purpose of starting q sinking fund with which to meet the war debt as it comics due.
 The estimates will of course re- ceive careful consideration. There vii De a sitting out of the unnecessary and the authorization of what Is con. sidered necessary.

criminals (by which he means men who
have been convicted of crime sufficient
ly serious to be tried at Assizes or
Quarter Sessons) do differ appreciably
from the average Englishman at large.
The difference, however, is in degree
rather than in kind, if the attributes
common to human nature be con
sidered. 1t is not the difference be
tween disease and health; still less
is it what could be called sport IN

trymen. But they differ selectively, not
Specifically, because they possess ia

Charles MERCER finds in a field OF
