FUTURE OF SYRIA AFFECTS
CIVILIZED WORLD

More and more frequently the spot
light swings to Syria. The Syrians
declared their country independent,
and chose Prince Feisal as king. Feis-
al reigned a few days. The French
set up n temporary government, and
now Feisal seeks restoration.
Syria's future concerns the entire
world, for 1t is coming into its own as
result of new railways which make
1t once more link land In history's
chain. Explaining the significance of
recent events, communication by
Maynard Owen Williams says:
Syria closes the east end Of the
Mediterranean and is bounded on the

CANADA MAY ADOPT AN
ESKIMO INDUSTRY

Conversion of the arctic and sub
arctic regions of Canada into rein
deer meat producing area Is being con-
sidered by the Canadian government
and is being widely discussed through
out the dominion.
A communication to the National
Geographic society recalls that rein
deer were not indigenous to Alaska,
and tells the interesting story of their
introduction there.
"The story of the inception and
growth of the reindeer enterprise in
Alaska is very interesting and Is not
generally known" says the writer.
During an extended trip of inspec-
ton of the missionary stations and
government schools In 1890, DIR. Shell
don Jackson, then general agent Of ed
ucation In Alaska, was impressed with
the fact that the natives In arctic and
subarctic Alaska were rapidly losing
their sources OF food supply.
doctor Jackson saw that unless
something was done at once the Unit
ed States would have TO choose be-
tween feeding the 10000 and more ma
tives or letting them starve to death.
1.-THE same moss which covered so
many thousands Of miles Of the plains
of arctic Siberia was seen everywhere
I'm Alaska. The tame reindeer was
practically the same animal as the
wild caribou OF Alaska, changed by be-
ing domesticated for centuries.
ION his return to the United States
In 1891, Doctor Jackson asked congress
for an appropriation to provide the
money for importing a few deer.
Congress was not convinced Of the
wisdom of such action, but several pri-
vate persons we're so interested that
they placed $1,000 at Doctor Jackson's
disposal TO begin the experiment. The
first deer we're brought over that year.
II was not long before the government
realized the importance of the move
ment. and In 1894 appropriated the
sum Of $4,000 TO continue the work.
Later the appropriation was increased
and by 1900 amounted to $4,000 an
! nually."

ROCKING CHAIR IS ENDORSED
French Authorities Declare Great

Physiologically Correct.

Nobody who has studied the rocking
chair will be surprised to hear that
the French Academy of Science has
declared ii the most hygienic of all
seats instead of a mere American fad.
II is, as the academy says, physiologi-
cally correct. The trouble with 1t Is
that II is not always psychologcally
correct. Its baneful effects are not on
the rocker, but on the beholder. 1t is
an alI-around joy only when II is not
rocked. New England ladies used TO
test q new neighbor by getting her to
sit in a rocking chair. If she could re-
sst rocking she was Of the elect. This
simple test of the nerves has made or
married a great many newcomers pop
uIarity.
The advantage of the rocking chair
is that II puts the body In perfect
balance. The skull is kept in the prop
err position. But oscillation does not
add to the benefit. 1t Is good to find
an invention which has been maligned
because of misuse Endorsed by the
scientists. Let these gentlemen next
find something good to say about silk

RUMANIA: PAWN OF MANY

Rumania, which has attracted atten-
tion recently because OF the visit OF
Prince Carol to this country. has been
q center of European war storms for
a thousand years.
Peter the Great once established a
! protectorate over the Rumanians and
Catherine the Great later advanced
plan for the annexation of their ter
ritory to Russia. Fearing that such
territorial expansion might be mem
ace 10 her, Austria persuaded Gather
inc to abandon that plan.
Rumania, as we now know II, was
formed from Moldavia and Wallachia
in 1861. Previously these principall-
ties had been under Turkish suzer-
ainty. following Austria's protest
agaist Russia annexing them. Au.
tonomy being guaranteed by the pow
ers which agreed to the union of the
principnities. following the Crimean
war. Rumanans chose an army officer,
Col. Alexander Curza, as their ruler.
His title was Alexander John I, prince
of Rumania.
When. seven years later. the element
in power at Bucharest decided for
change of rulers there were few for
malities. Invading the princes bed
room by night, leaders of the group
presented q certificate Of abdicatiOn to
be signed, and then bundled him In
carriage and put him aboard an ex-
press for Paris.
The count of Flanders, brother to
King Leopold of Belgium, was chosen
by provisional government. The
powers especially Austria. protested.
and Prince Charles (CaroD, who had
been an officer in the Prussian army,
was substituted. He set about free
ing the country from the suzerainty
of Turkey.
When the Russo-Turkish storm clouds
arose in 1875. Charles sought to have
the powers guarantee the neutrality
of Rumania. He failed. Then an
agreement was reached with Russia.
Under its terms Russian soldiers were
TO have free passage through Ru-
mania, while Russia was to respect the
rights and defend the integrity of Ru-
mania.
When the war began Rumania
promptly declared herself independent
of Turkey. AS the war went on Rus
STA needed help badly and finally Ru-
mania responded to repeated appeals.
Under Prince Carol. Rumanian and al
lied troops gained decisive but cost
ly victory before Plevna. Rumaninn
freedom was recognized In the treaty
of San StefanO. and II furthermore
was stipulated that Rumania was to
get the swampy country known as
Dobrudja. lying between the Danube,
where ii flows to the north, and the
Black sea. Russia was to have Bess-
arabia. territory claimed by Rumania
and in part occupied by her.
Rumania protested bitterly against
exchange of picturesque Bessarabia
for the ugly Dobrudja region. Russia
threatened to disarm the Rumanian
army, and Prince Carol plnckily re-
spOnded that his army might be de-
stroyed but it never would be dis
armed.
The Russo-Turkish treaty of San
Stefano was overturned by the con-
gress of Berlin, but Russia's aim In
Bessarabia was not denied. Thus
Rumania, after helping Russia in her
plight, came out of the war with less
than she had when she went In.
