INTANGIBLE ISLAND

New attention Is being directed these Hays to Wrangell island, north of Siberia and northwest of Alaska, because of the claim of annexation that has been made tor 1t by Stefansson iR behalf of Can ada. Wrangell isand vas not diseeE- cred by him and has not just been ex- plored. It has been known for great many years that there vas land there but the suppositioR was that 1t was a continent and under such belief it was knowa as Wrangell land till two Amer lesn expeditions which went in search sf missing vessel and It's crew came upon 1t and through an exploration of 1t Found that 1t was an island. At that time, not quite a half century ago, there were papers left in which claim vas made to the land in behalf of the United States and the papsrs that were thus left by one party were found and brought back by the other searchers and have been preserved.
 This makes an interesting situation ia view of the stefansson claim as te whsre the ownership of the island rests It will of course raise the question as to what constitutes acquisition under such conditions. Ordinarily 1t might be expected that occupation would be in veiEsd but 1t doesn't appear in any ei the instances that the visits of the ex, plorers have been followed by their oc pupation of tS- island or by those of the country in whose name the land va! siaimed. Perhaps there are others wht have had similar experiences at Wran gell Island.
 Just at the present time it doesn't ap pear that the island just claimed b! stefansson is of any particuar value None too much Is known about it. occupies a strategic position just wes of BeriHg strait and about 100 mile from the Siberian coast. It is in re zion where fur bearing animals nigh reasonably be expected in considerabl numbers. and one visitor to the islan, has reference to such resource. Per haps there Is nothing on the island | cause concern over its ownership, by there was time when much the sam views were taken in regard to Alaska that great storehouse of riches Whiel we acquired for 8 song and which 1 aew referred to as being able to yiel hillions without trouble.

IN THE NEAR EAsT

Indications which come from the near east to the effect that Greece is fayor- ably inclined to the proposed armistice in the war with the Turks gives tndi- cations that favorable results are going to attend the efforts to bring that con- hiGt to an end. Encouraged by the fa- vorable position gained under Venizeles Greece was desirous of maintaining the held that it had obtained in Asia Miner, ! position that vas menaced by the Turks, especially the nationalists, who you'd not accent the treaty of SeYres.
 Greece brought forth all it's resources n men and money to make success of ts campaign. It progressed faverably at the start only to be rePulsed at a crit ical point and driven hack with se- were lass. Fhe serious set back of the first campaign did not discourage ths Greeks. They reorganized and made an: other attempt in hopes of overcoming some ef the mistakes of the previous one. The experiences were much tht same. After getting to a certain lins they were unable to advance and ir time retired. That has been the situa- ton since the fighting stepped

COAT DE WHITEHAsH.

Whitewash is of value both as a, disin- feetant and also because of it's color. It acts as a preseFyatiYe qf wooden struc- lures, and if properly prs> 4Fed is fire Fetardent. A dark and gloomy cellar may be made bright and clean by the use of whitewash. Cellar steps, beams and other obstacles should be covered with WhiteWash, which will serve to cali them to attention, thus avoiding aeidents. -'' On small buildings about the lot as well as trees and fence posts whitewash can he used to advantage as a means of Improving their appearance and also to min. ~
 Many householdeFs have difficulty ir the fall with their furnaces because the gratebars have trusted. This difficulty may be avoided if when the fire has f. nally gone out in the spring the bars ars cleaned and peck of lump lime placed thereon. like amount should be placed In the ash pan. As lime has a greater affinity for the moisture than has iron rust is prevented by it's use.

TRoLLEYs COMING BACK

Indications point in various directions to the effects of improved conditions upon the trolley lines. It is by no means to be supposed that they are put of the woods or that everything is mov- ing along without a hitch under clear skies. Happily the situation is much i'm proved from what 1t was under the strenuous days of the war period when supplies of all kinds were at their peak, wages were likewise and the fares had to be boosted to make, or endeavor to make ends meet.
 One interesting fact that cannot be overlooked following the putting into sf- feet of the reduced trolley fares in this state is the announcement from the state treasury to the effect that the Gonnec- ticut company has resumed the payment of It's taxes and as the result the reYs- nue for the fiscal yeaE will be sufficient to balance the expense. That gives in dications that the plan of paying up the arrears seems likely to succeed and with more favorable conditions as to travel there will be in due time be furnished g situation in connection with the lines that will justify a further lowering of the fares. How soon that will be will depend upon conditions.
 One factor which has contributed largely to an improvement of the situa- ton for the electric lines has been the cutting of operating expenses through the installation of one man cars. Lines in New York which had to be abandon ed because the revenue was insufficient to meet expenses are to be operated again, and when they are there will bG used the old two-man cars converted into one man cars. This reduction + expense has been the salvation of many lines. It has not only prevented the abandonment of lines but 1t promises tC be the means of reviving some where service was stopped.
 Electric road operation has by nt means gotten back to the position wher' 1t was before the war, but through i'm provements in various directions anc more faFerable conditions there ar'
 hopes that some lines which are still ol the fence will yet be revived. Nerwicl and the territory served by the HoFwicl & Westerly line hope te see some re vival of that road which has maintained
 service only en this end of the line dur | ing the winter.

 Along with 1t at least comes the move for the ending of the war between the Greeks and the Turks over Asia Minor territory. There was the time when Greece was not disposed to listen to any plan for an adjustment of the situation through a peace movement The two unsuccessful sfi9rts and the ppssiele British stand in the matter have had their effects and the indication thai Greece is ready to deal with the Turks points to probable adjustment in that region.
