It is IN the expectation

There were 10000 of

The Turkish triumph over

Divided Houses

The Near East question is
not yet settled in the larger
sense and will not be perma-

conference.
Premier Lloyd George, for
example, is at heart in ac-
cord with the Venizelos
ideal Of a Greater Greece

ably put the power Of his
shoulder behind it, were it
not that a majority Of his
cabinet see in the plan the
dream Of a visionary poll

nationalism. 49,. ~
Venizelos, disappointed
rather than daunted by his
failure to carry his point in
Britain, is appealing to

MEMORIAL DAY
 ORIGIN AND PURPOSE

For many years some of the coun- tries of Europe have followed a cus- tom of covering the graves of heroes fallen in defense of their country. with flowers, this custom taking place in the springtime. Acco, dingly the G. A. R. a means fitting of perpetuating the memories of their departed comrades, adopted such a custom, and took active steps in that direction on May 5, 1868. The 31st of May that year felr on Sunday, so the day before, May S0.h, was des- ignated and the G. A. R., assisted by the citizens of twenty-seven states of the Union conducted ap- propriate memorial ceremonies on that date. Since that time annually on each succeeding 30th of May this tribute to the loyal heroes of the Civil War has been observed.
 A very beautiful ceremony has been instituted, embracing the scat tering abroad of flowers on the ocean in honor of gallant sailors and marines who perished at sea.
 The American Legion adopted May 30th as Memorial Day at it's Second convention. And on the 30th of May this year each of the II, 900 posts of the Legion throughout the world will conduct memorial serv- ices. In addition to local services every member will contribute Sc for the strewing of flowers over the rest ing place of their comrades in Europe. The Alaska Legionnaire.

BREST. May 22.- Nearly one hundred persons perished when the Peninsular liner Egypt sank off the Island of Ushant Saturday night af- ter collision in a fog with the French cargo steamer Seyne. News of the disaster was brought here yes- terday by the Seyne. which made this port with the rescued and twenty bodies.
 The Egypt was bound from London with thirty-eight passengers and a crew of 250. The collision occurred during a dense fog and the Egypt sank twenty minutes after being struck.
 Two American women, Mrs NJ. L. Sibiey and Miss V. NJ. Boyer, mission aries on their way to India, were list ed among the missing.

The boundaries of the Town of Wrangell now include. ALL of the sawmill property and ALL of the property of the Wrangell cannery of the Alaska Sanitary Packing Com pany. At the court house there is an instrument on file which shows that the Town of Wrangell in its applica- tion for an extension of the exterior boundaries stated that the new ter ritory which it wished to have annex ed to the town would include part of the cannery property of the Alaska Sanitary Packing Company" and part of the property of the Wilson & Sylvester Mill Company" It seems that the above has been misunder- stood by several citizens who have the idea that the cannery and sawmill are still only partially within the city limits. When the Town in it's application made reference to the ad- ditional territory including part of the cannery property" and part of the property of the Wilson & Sylves- ter Mill Company" it had reference to that part of the cannery property and that part of the sawmill property which have not heretofore been inclu- ded in the town limits.

Two Entertaining Lectures Given by
 Dr. E. T. Mathes

Two highly entertaining and in |structive lectures were delivered in Wrangeil the past week by Dr. E. F. Mathes, mayor Of Bellingham and former president of the Beilingham Normal School.
 On Saturday evening Dr. Mathes delivered his lecture on France and Her People,. Having lived year in France and six months in Germany during the war, Dr. Mathes was able, with his vivid word pictures of un- usual experiences there, to take his listeners with him into those coun- so close to us. Illustrated with pie lures, Dr. Mathes made his audience enter into the lives of those two na- tions differing so widely in their standards and aims in life although living side by side, and made them see why the world war was ineyit- able.
 Dr. Mathes illustrated the extra ordinary thrift common to the whole French people, the way in which the French government encourages the development of the artA as well as their love of gayety and talk oyer the cafe tables, as contrasted with the more rigorous life of the German people.
 On Wednesday evening Dr. Mathes delivered his lecture on Mexico. His descriptions of the country and it's people were intensely interesting. Among other things the speaker sta ted that more-than 90 per cent of the iand in the republic of Mexico is own ed by less than 200 families and that the land question is one of the big gest problems with which the Mex ican people are confronted. The speaker also stated that 40 per cent of the people of Mexico can neither read nor write, and that Mexico's gratest needs are along educational lines.
 Both lectures were well illustrated with pictures, many of which had been taken by the lecturer himself.

Bootlegging of Human Beings
 Is Big Industry

WASHINGTON, May 21. Boot logging of human beings has become almost as profitable and almost as widespread an industry as the boot logging of booze, James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, declared today. The South Atlantic coast, Gulf Coast and the Mexican border hay been uti- lized the most for running in immi- grants illegally. Between seven and eight hundred thousand immigrants will have entered the United States during the year ending June 30, according to Secretary Davis, where but three hundred are authorized to enter under the present laws.

Not every community is privileged to hear such words of counsel from the lips of one who has dared to serve to the utmost of her profession's demands. Canada. England.
