determination of purely domestic ques'
tions. such as immigration and raclai
equality, in place of allowing the league
TO determine whether a question Is a
domestic one" The contingencies
against which these suggestions are
presumably intended to be safeguards
might be appreciable dangers II We
could suppose that other nations are
less Jealous of their sovereignty than
we are. But since We have the best
of reasons for believing that the otheT
great nations of the world are Just as
determined as we can be to preserve
unimpaired their exclusive authority
over domestic questions, We have, in
that determination, ample assurance
that we shall suffer no interfersnce
from the league in the disposition OF
such matters. This is more especially
true with respect to questions OF I'M
migration. For Canada and Australia
and New Zealand are even more sternly
opposed to the immigration of Asiatics
than we are. II is worthy of observa-
ton, parenthetically that their attitude
toward Asiatic immigration makes their
separate votes in the assembly re-
source to us rather than the liability
they have been pictured to be by op-
ponents of the league.

KNEW NOTHING ABOUT TOYS
Little Ones of Palestine Grew Up
Without Seeing a Doll Until
Armenians Brought Some.

Ever since the outbreak of the war.
without toys, and whole generation
is growing up that has not even
"mothered" doll. The miseries that
have all but overwhelmed the city of
Jerusalem have robbed even the boys
of any inclination to play, except now
and then a pathetic imitation Of foot

'"TOmmies" of General Allenby's lib
Grating army. So writes Miss Libby
Oppenheim. New York girl. who is
the secretary of the American Zionist
medical unit which is now operating
in Palestine.
Miss Oppenheim was charged with
the task of distributing contribu-
ton of toys which accompanied one
of the clothes shipments sent recently
to the Holy land by the Palestine sup
plies department Of the Zionist or
ganization of America. The toys were
distributed to the kindergartens, the
schools, the Orphanages and to the two
chldren's hospitals in Jerusalem and
Jaffa.
Miss Oppenheim personally took
some of the toys to the girls orphan
age, and she describes the scene that

Ministry of Mirth.

An ex-member of the London county
council, the Rev. HI. E. Chapman, vicar
of that quaint relic of old London, the
Savoy chapel, marooned in back
water of the Strand, has emerged into
print, in the columns of the Morning
Post, on the great amusement ques-
ton. Mr.. Chapman is convinced that
all is not well in the theatrical state
of England and there are many who
agree with him. Still he Is no mere
iconoclast. He has his remedy. 1t
is q very simple one-a ministry of
mirth, headed by an ideal chief, and
established without delay. But then
Mr.. Chapman admits that he is an "in-
corrigible optimist." Perhaps Mr..
Chapman might add to the gayety Of
nations by editing new edition Of the
works of Demokritos of Abdera, the
Laughing Philosopher, unless, as is
quite possible, and not without rea-
son, he regards Demokritos as the first
of pessimists.

TURNED VESSEL INTO SHOP
Ingenious Idea Appreciated by the
Sailors of the British Grand Fleet
Stationed at Scapa Flow.

One of the secrets of the war was
revealed recently when party went
down to the Victoria docks. London, to
inspect the Wilson liner Borodino. This
ship was chartered in the early days
of the war by the Junior Army and
Navy Stores for the purpose Of sup
plying the sailors of the grand fleet
with comforts and Injuries that they
would otherwise have had to do with
out. One of the sea lords at the be-
ginning of the war, when the grand
fleet was keeping its vigil in Scapa
flow. recognized that the officers and
men needed something to relieve the
dizziness of existence while waiting
for the German fleet to come out.
The suggestion was adopted, and the
BOrodino turned into a most effective
shop. Almost anything could be
bought on board. while there was q
fine laundry with a weekly collection
and delivery, and BARRIERS shop. Five
thousand dollars q week was taken by
the sale of goods, including penny bars
of chocolate, greatly favored by young
midshipmen. The latest in fancy
soaps, shaving creams, new books, the
finest chocolates, and an abundance of
fresh meat. fish and vegetables helped
to make life more bearable in the cold
and dismal surroundings of Scapa.
