ENDING NATIONAL AonnnaEnMrs.

By the decision of the railway labor board in abolishins the national agree nents there has been granted to the rail- roads ef the country one means of secur- ing needed relief for which the. roads have been working for many months.
 In their struggle to make ends meet and to carry on under present day con- ditions the railroads have found that the national agreements, under which en- ployes of the road outside of those en. gagged in train service were placed under the same conditions throughout the coun- try regardless of the conditions on the Individual roads. were un3ustiy burden cone. They held that the respective reads should make agreements with ehear own employees in keeping with the conditions that prevail on their lines.
 Had the federal board acted upon the petition of the railroads to terminate the Agreements relief would have been se- eured quicker and the reads would have DeeA able to bring about the adjustments HfoAths earlier, but such a course would hot have been in accord with the purpose sf the board

rnE KNOX RESOLUTION.

~ Tue resabmission of the Knox peace resolution Is only what was looked for. An Is present form it differs from the form previously presented and vetoed and is now in accord with the recom- nnendations Of President Harding. That tt win receive carly and affirmative action is almost certain
 The purpose of the resolution is to bring to an end that technical state of var with Germany which has existed ever since the signing of the arnistice. It will declare ended the war whicl, was entered into in 1917 and put an end to the uncertainty which has prevailed in that direction. x It will not mean that wA will take up the matter of negotiat- ing separate treaty with Germany. but as was shown by the statement of the president we will continue to stand with the allies in carrying out the require ments of the Versailles treaty by whicA We benefit, the peace resolution reserzine Uur rights, powers, claims, privileges, 1d@rnities, reparations or advantages.
 Thus while we are effectinei a techni cal peace through resolution there will stni remain the Job of bringing abou NA4S EelAAC8ttOu OL tuaL pofll9n or .tnt Versailles treaty to which we gre willing to give approval and excluding tha which deals with the league of nations This supplementary action will not b. hastened. It will be carried on .deliber ateiy for the purpose of protecting ou interests and avoiding such entanglin, alliances as would have been involve, had there been a ratification of the treat ss It came from France.
 The separation of the league from tn treaty has been claimed to be an inpossi bility. The builders constructed it s as to avoid separation, but if it is s that there can be no pulling of it apar 1t will be the first document that ha been made invulnerable. Considerabl time may be required to get the matte in shape for action but there are zoo reasons to believe that 1t win be accon piisAed and our interests properly prt tecAed.

 Paai had actauliy found the great geod of life to be the opportunity 1t gives for service. He was tired often and would have liked "to depart and ee with Christ; for it Is very far better s' better than any joys or pleasures that can be found here. But there was one thing and one thing only, that made life on earth not only toieranle but grand to Paul, and that was the chances 1t gave him to serve and save his feElowmen, and tn So doing, to serve Christ.
 ' As Paul thought of this passsicn for service for Christ's sake that had taken possession of him there sprang up in his mind an intimately connected thought, namely. that if Christians generally felt this strong desire to serve Christ and one another they would not be 50 subject to discords and factions, or to vain glory, haugftfness and seihshness.

r4srzcrrre HISTORIC BUILDING

1@ONAOLAN0 h1bTO1AC HO1LWINGS.
 Need of giving full measure of protec- tton to the three historic buildings of Bos- tOn-the old state house, the Old South meeting house and Fanueil hall-has been awakened anew by the fire which eau0ed much damage in the first named this week. Fire is one of the great nenaces to the preservation of such structures and how great care must be taken in such wooden buildings is indi- cated by the finding of the fire connmis- sioner investigating the fire when he de- ciaIes that in his opinion the threatened 6estRuctisn of the old state house was duo to . cigarette which had been care lessfy discarded in one of the rooms of the building. At the same time he found evidence of rubbish and InhannmaAie Ma- teriai which had been allowed to acCu. Haulats in the building and which I. bound to serve as menace to any build. As.

CHAPTER Xxx
p. S. L. Comes Home

BY nine o'clock the next morning, as
soon as I'd swallowed a hurried bite
of breakfast in the grill-rOom swiped
a camp-stOol anC Il magazine out of
the lounge and trOtted upstairs TO
plant myself before the boss door, de-
termined that nobody should disturb
him until he was good and ready to
get up.
He turned out little before twelve,
looking sort of haggard and drawn, of
course, and having some pretty bad
burns on the side of his neck and on
the backs of both hands. But he was
all there, as usual, and he laid good,
brotherly hand on my shoulder when
he saw what / was doing.
"They don't make my of them like
you. Jimmie" he said. And then:
"Have you any newsY

Fred May had come tip-toeing up into
my sentry corridor about ten o'clock
to tell me that Mr.. Perkins had ar
ranged with the strikers TO have a spe-
cial go east with the major and Mrs.
Sheila and Collingwood's body to
catch the Overland at Sedgwick and
told the boss this, and that the train
had been gone for an hour or more.
Also, / gave him sealed package
that a strange boy had brought up
just a little while after May went
away. We took the elevator to the
grill-rOOm for something to eat, and
at table Mr.. Norcross opened the pack

Wits, eleven of them in ALL and there
was no letter or anything to tell where
they had come from.

half a grin.
"Itlisn't lost, Graham: It's only gone

"If | should wait all my life ii

the reply. "What you said to me

there wasn't anything else to do; Kir-

enough to let the boss send wire to
