Now the President, with the pac-
fists unanimously supporting him
in its new search for internatioaI
courts and judges, seems to return
the compliment by picking UP their
statistics which Weeks denounced
and deplored.
At Salt Lake City. Mr.. Harding
specifically said: "Eighty-five per
cent OF American taxes go to the
expenses and obligations OF war and
only fifteen. per cent to the pro
motion Of the ideals and practices
of peace"
In these circumstances 1t ls
thought that 1t is going to be quite
adventurous today for anybody to
attack the pacifists on their priri-
ciples or on their propaganda figures.
They are with the President. They
are going to let Weeks have all the
soldiers he now has; and, as for
themselves, their minds are set sim
ply on accompanying the President
to the reign of international law and
world affairs.
Thus. the oratorical market goes
into q further slump. The Germans
are seen to be Of little use any
more for Fourth of July purposes
because they are too far down and
out. The Bolsheviks succeeded
them and lasted for while; but
they, too, have declined in value
because their government seems
| to have enough to do staying alive
at home without bothering to
conquer the world.

Now the pacifists seem to be
wriggling away from him. The cold
fact il that the effort to tie the
pacifist lobby here to any kind OF
Bolshevism or to any kind of dis
loyalty has had hard shedding; and
now the town has pretty well con-
cluded that a pacifist Is simply a

Of the Presidents own pacifist

It il gravely feared here that our

When the swirling Swaters carried
the canoe down into the gorge Of the
Yuga both Ben and Beatrice were
instinctively awed and stilled Ever
the walls of the gorge grew more
steep, until the sunlight was cut off
and they rode as if in twilight
In mid-afternoon Ben began TO
think Of making his nights camp.
In one of the more quiet stretches
Of water he saw the place-a small
cove and a green. tree-clad bank,
with the gorge rising behind. Han
ding his canoe with greatest care he
slanted toward it. A moment later
he had caught the brush at the
water, and was drawing the canoe
up onto the bank.
We're through for he day" he
said happily. as he helped Beatrice
out Of the boat. I'll confess I'm

was her chance: Ben still lay asleep.

her luck to the doubtful mercy Of the
river.
She could discern the black sha-
dow of the canoe. She stepped nearer.
But at that instant a subdued note
Of warning froze her in her tracks.
A great. gaunt form raised up
from the pile of duffle in the canoe:

The girl sobbed cnce, then stole

After breakfast they took to the
river, yielding themselves once more
to the whims of the current.
Shortly before the noon hour Ben's
quick eye saw break in the heavy
brushwood that lined the bank and
quickly padded toward It, In a mo-
ment more he pushed the canoe into
the mud of the creek bank.
They crossed a low ridge, following
down another Of the thousand creeks
that Eater thre northern lands. In
moment it led them to a long. narrow
lake, blue as sapphire in its frame
Of dusk spruce.
And all at once Beatrice, walking
in front, drew up with a gasp.
She stood at tho edge of a little
glade, perhaps thirty yards across.

AN ENTERPRISE THAT
MERITS YOUR SUPPORT,

Notwithstanding the amount of
shipping that is now lying idle 10
the harbors and at the docks of the
United States, ocean travellers are
still obliged to pay high rates for
transatlantic travel, and an un.
paralleled opportunity to build up
the American Merchant Marine is
being lost Recognizing this fact,
and realizing that the time was
opportune for an undertaking of
this nature, the organizers of the
Great Northern S. S. Co, formed
their Corporation, which received
its charter from the State of Mass
achusetts, October II, 1922.
They visualized a new ocean
steamship line, plying between
Boston and European ports, con.
trolled by the people, which would
offer to these same people chance
for ocean travel on comfortable
commodjous ships, at a price with.
in the reach of all, but large
enough to allow a profit for the
investor and sufficient margin to
allow for the carrying on and en-
larging of the enterprise.
This was their threefold pur.
pose-to render a genuine service
to the people,-to help build up
American shipping,-and to bring
business and trade to the port of
Boston.
In spite of the failure of the
Ship Subsidy Bill, in spite of the
opposition which each new CON-
petitor in an established field en-
counters, this Company is bringing
its plans to maturity and expects
that very soon it will be able to
offer definite sailing dates to the
public.
This, surely, is an enterprise
that merits your support.
