The League nf Nations is accepted by tho Allied and Associ- ated I'owers as oiierative and by Oor- niany in principle, but without inoin- berxhlp. Similarly an tnternatlonal labor body is brought ii.to being with a peruianent otDce and annual conven- tion. A |fr«at number of inturnatlunal boiMes of different kinds aiul for dif- ferent purposes are created, some un- der the League of Nations and some to execute the I'eace Treity. Among tho former is ihe commission to gov- eru the Saar Ila.siii till a iilebiscito Is held lifteen y. urs hence, the high com- mission to Danzig, which is created into a free city under the League, and various commissions for plebiscites in Maluiondy, Schleswlg, and East i'nis- sia.

I ANOTHER T.oAn' WH.L RE ILOATEI) IN ALrUMN A despatch from Ottawa says: â€" A domestic loan similar to the Vic- tory r>can of a year ago, but not so, large, will be floated by tha Govern-' mcnt, probably in September, Sir Thomas While announced in the House on Thur.s<lay. The loan is in connection w.'th tho M.IO.OncOOO war appropriation to bo voted by Parlia- ment this session. Between |()00,- 000.000 and $700,000,0(10 was raise<i by the Victory Loan.

Danes: "Live we!!." Scotch: "How's all jtvlth you?" ItUHsiana: "Be v.ell." English: "How do you do." American: "HelK), hellol" \ THE RIGHT WAY Tho secret of SUCCKSS in shopping lies in being able to LOOK at the garment before yon pay for it. You not only LOOK at it. You try it on. You have the chance to try on several. If one does not suit, another WILL. If alterations are needed, the fitting can be done on the spot. There MAY be other ways to shop. But this is the only RIGHT way. This is the "trade-athomo" way. And it brings not only SUCCESS to you, but adds prosperity to your town as well. Every purchase you make in this way creates a permanent value in your community, apart from the value and pleasure YOU get out of it. And you becoijje a community builder. Then why shop any other way? Keep this picture in mind and you will not fail in your duty to yourself and your town.

A despatch from London says: â€" Afi.han tribeimcn have crossed the Afghan border v;ith the assistance of Afghan reg:il:ir trcops, 'and have occupied certain p ^Mtions on the In- dian s'de nf tiic h'rJer, according to a despatch from the Indian Foreign Office. Military precautions liave been taken by the British, who have addressed a vigorous note to the Amir, It has been reported for some tim« that the new Amir had adopted an unfriendly attitude towar! the Brit- ish, and contemTjlated a vio/ation oi the northv/cst frontier and Khybei Pass, the principal northern pass into that country from India. No large number of tribe.Tmen arc concerned, but they have occupied some heights of importance com- mar.fVng two roads leading across the frontier. A later despatch says: â€" Router'a learns that General Harrett has com- menced operations and that there are already indications that the advanj* of the British mobile columns in th« neighborhood cf tlie Indian frontier is having a reassurin.i; effect. The latest news from Kabul is dated April 30 when some escorts of the Britisl agent, who is an Indian, left the capi tal. Kabul was then the scone of great e.xcitement. and there were consider- able movements of troops in the sur- rounding country. It was, however, clearly understood that there v^faa to be nothing in the nature of a general advance, in the ah;-enco of direct or- ders from the Arair. It is understood that there is a band of four hundred Afghans with a couple of guns at ono frontier position occupied and a some- what larger force at another point.
