Obviously the answer to the inquiry is one
which the Hanltonian alone can give. Which
he is to believe will depend largely on his
temperament, predictions, angle Of view. The
facts are as stated. Three or four premlers
have taken over the functions of the league and
its support in this country had dwindled, when
it came last to vote, to twenty senator's out OF
ninety-six. To some minds this indicates tor
pidity, moribundity; and it undeniably is NOR
bose or cachectic condition. There are some who
find a certain difficulty in visualizing this par
ticular league as ever functioning normally and
usefully; but they cling to the conviction that q
league sometime to be formed will do for the
advantage of mankind all that concert of the
nations can do at this stage of evolution to pro-
mote the welfare of the race. The foremost
jurists of the world are now at work upon a
code of international law which probably will
be the cornerstone of the league-not OF all ma,
tons necessarily, but of the leading civilized
nations-which will in the fullness of time be
born and live.

In spite of the danger, he hurried forth
He saw some food in tempting cache;
He fastened to gup it and hurry on
Two jaws of demon of steel went S1nasn!
And the animals hope of life was gone!
A white man came the wolves might come,

Miady she wears it with Joy and pride,
Not caring a whit how the ermine died!

So laugh as you your furs ma cnere.
Laugh as you flaunt your furs!)
The small boy placed by the meadow creek
steel trap held by long strong chain
For there the muskrats, he knew, would seek
Their nightly food-might they seek in vain!
muskrat came, and the jaws went crunch!
And the night-ah, the cruel night was young!
He gnawed at his leg-'twas a hideous lunch!-
But the terrible trapjaws chung and chung .r
The little lad at the dawning came .

He ripped from his victim the velvet hide,
For milady's wardrobe must be supplied!

COMPLETING THE STORY.

At Montreal certain labor spokesman referr-
ed to unemployment in some industrial centers
and Detroit was mentioned by two speakers as
a city where thousands of workers had recently
been dismissed temporarily from their posi-
TONS But these speakers did not go into the
causes of this unemployment leaving this to be
interpreted as their hearers might choose and
probably to be interpreted as an inimical atti-
tude by employers
1t is interesting, therefore, to find in a Detroit
newspaper confirmation of the fact that about
thirty thousand workers were at the time OF the
printing of the article out of work and to find
also the results of an investigation of the stu
alton. Seventy plants visited reported an aver
age reduction of six per cent. in their labor be-
cause of lack of materials due to the railroad
congestion; this congestion developed from the
railroad strike. The building trades reported
2 900 men on strike and because of their failure
to work reported also some thousands more I'M
employed because of lack of materials to carry
on projects begun. Lack of materials, accord
ing to this Detroit newspaper, is the cause of
ninety five per cent. Of the unemployment there
and back Of this lack as a cause in every in
stance is strike. This is part Of the story
that was not told at Montreal.
