Adventure.

Fred Schweer, clerk, was locked by mis-
take in an alright vault Of the Metropolitan
bank in New York. He was taken out uncon-
scious, just in time to save his life with a
pulmotor.
Revived he hurried home, ate belated sup
Der, and rushed off to the movies without men
tioning his experience to his parents.
Probably he went to the movies to see some
thing exciting. That's the way of it. Adyen-
ture or romance is something which seems to
be happening to some one else!

Final Step.

The final step in establishing court OF
international justice will be taken at the meet
ing OF the assembly Of the League Of Nations
at Geneva in September. This Is the most
important item ON the program Of the assembly
meeting.
As practically all of the nations, members
Of the league, have ratified the draft plan OF
the court the ratification by the assembly,
which is necessary to make the court going
concern, is more or less formality.
1t may therefore be predicted with GER
tainty that within few months the long
dreamed OF experiment Of settling disputes
between nations in the sane rational manner
as disputes between individuals are settled.
will be under way.

Squared I'm.

So King Peter of Serbia is dying. AS q
king he made poor start, having been ele-
waited to the throne by the men who murdered
his predecessor. Alexander. But he restored
himself to the good opinion of history by shar-
ing with his gallant little army all the hard
ships of its heroic retreat when his country
was overrun by Austrians.
He lived to see all scores evened up, and
all his powerful enemies humbled in the dust
and the rapacity of Austria avenged. Not SO
bad for minor league king.
