A LONG WAY ROUND
By Alfred Arnold

It's long way round;
 But I will go, because it's you; For have never found Another hand and heart so true Nor ever heard the sound
 Of speech that does what yours do It's long way round;
 But I will go, because it's you. Is there on Earths wide ground
 Another eye that looks through And leaves free though bound2
 The strong and tender few. It's long way round;
 But will go, because it's you For you have never frowned
 On me in old days or the new; And with your praise have crowned
 My hopes, that from so little grew. It's long way round;
 But will go, because it's you. You never will astound A world, flatter it. woo; But you your help have wound
 About me. That praise is your due

The Irish Relief Movement

The movement for the relief of suffering in Ire is separate and apart from the bloody quarrel between Ireland and Great Britain. Whatever may the merits the lack of merits of Ireands claim to independence, it is undeniable that women and children are suffering and starving there.
 Inquiry into causes is irrelevant. Only the overshadowing fact stands that there is urgent need of relief.
 The application is delicate matter-more delicate raising of funds for relief is difficult We could not a nation in this matter nor through the ordinary channel, the Red Cross which is national in it's character. The American Red Cross could only through the British Red Cross and such arrangement was prevented by two obstacles, in America and the other in Ireland

PACIFIC ISLAND GARDEN
SPOT

With the shifting of ownership that
has taken place among the Islands of
the Pacific and the growing impor-
lance of that yreat body of water in
international affairs, the holdings of
the various nations in the Pacific are
taking on new value. One Of the most
important of the French Pacific pos
sessions is Tahiti, or the Society Is
lands, with steamship connection TO
San Francisco and New Zealand.
They are described in the following

The by-products of this development
have been as valuable TO Central

Turkey Mohammedan scholars full
