such gamblers should expect If they set up

How Ocean Is Robbinq River.

A curious result of a study of the
Blue Ridge mountain region in North
Carolina and Virginia is the showing
that the Atlantic is slowly gaining
some of the waters that have hereto
fore flowed toward the Mississippi.
This arises from the fact that the
Blue Ridge, instead of being acrest
with strong slopes on each side, is an
escarpment separating mountainous
upland on thAsoutheast; and the high
level headwaters of the streams that
flow toward the Mississippi are con-
tinually losing length by the retreat of
the escarpment, through the retro
gressive erosion of the lOw-level head
waters of the Administering streams.
From a practical point of view, Of
course, the change is very slow.

clared after EamOnn de Valera, presi-

ton to an Irish peace conference in
London
Premier Lloyd George, in letter to
Earl Middleton, Southern Unionist who

ment realized the necessity of hating
bloodshed if peace negotiations were

De Valera accepted the invitation to
peace conference the British crown
forces in Ireland would be ordered to
suspend operations.
De Valera's letter to the premier
follows:
"Sir-The desire you express on the
part Of the British government to end

people of these two islands and to es-
tablish relations of neighbOrly har-

All the world loves the mountains
loves them as color patterns on the

symbols of peace and purity-loves
them, in other words, as one might a
picture. That there is a supreme
grandeur about the peaks and a great
beauty in the lesser hills every one
will acknowledge. But the grandeur
of the peaks is as hard to capture with
the brush as the beauty of the hills
with the pen. The landscape-painter

ate success in portraying them The
great features of nature seem defiant
