Many are the conjectures, but it is to be hoped that this problem may be settled by mediation with the League acting as tribunal. -leg-4-i CAMP ON-DA-DA-WAKS . . . lConlinued from Page 36 holding of water carnivals so easy. There are several aquatic tests to pass which require genuine eifort,but then one has a real good time. When we had been at the camp about two weeks, the boys of our tent were sent off on a canoe trip of three days duration to Round Lake. On this excursion we did a lot of paddling and learned the arts of fire-lighting, Woodcraft, camp cooking, knot tying, nature lore, and shelter building. We also did con- siderable fishing. We had bad luck on this trip because the unusual thing at On-Da-Da-Waks happened-it rained most of the time. When we got back we resumed our regular routine and tried to get into as many of the activities as we could. The time went very quickly, how- ever, and it was not long before our holiday was coming to a close. Every year they have a farewell campfire in the large Council Ring. At this gathering everybody writes a note in which he tells what he has got out of the camp. These notes are buried in a box near the scene of the fire. - This procedure concluded, we left next day for home to wait with happy memories for next summer. When camp re-opens this coming july the box buried in the Council Ring will be re- opened and the notes written last summer read out to us. With them will flood back happy recollections of a year ago. If anybody is un- able to go this year, he will not miss his old note, however, it will be mailed to him. But few notes will have to be dropped in the past oflice, for no one who has ever been to Camp-On-Da- Da-Waks can resist the temptation to go again. 45819

UX GLEBANAGXZ5- of the world? Should she arm so strongly that no nation would dare to start a war for fear of her chastisement? While human nature re- mains as it is, I am afraid the workable solution lies in the latter plan. At any rate the decision will have to come quickly for every day the cloud of war looms higher on the World's horizon. The world is passing through a great crisis now, caused by the Italo-Ethiopian dispute. Not only the original question, but the diffi- culties which have arisen and will arise out of it are sufficiently grave to warrant closer observation. Grievances exist on both sides. But, nevertheless, the fact remains that Musso- lini committed an act of aggression instead of awaiting the decision of the League Council. In judging him for his acts the League Assem- bly presented the following facts: Mussolini had signed a covenant not to start a war for three months, he had signed previous treaties respecting the neutrality of Ethiopia, since Abyssinia had agreed to settle the dispute by peaceful means, there was no case against her, and, finally, Mussolini himself wanted the war. In view of these facts they felt justified in employing economic sanctions against Italy. Sir Samuel Hoare's peace proposals received such adverse criticism at home and at Geneva that he was forced to resign. But what every- body seems to forget is that M. Laval had warned him that Signor Cerruti, Italian em- bassy to Paris, had announced that oil sanctions would mean an attack on the British Heet in the Mediterranean. Under the circumstances he as Britain's Foreign Secretary, felt obliged to make a last bid for peace. -The result was the Franco-British Peace Proposal which was turned down both by Ethiopia and Italy-by the former because she would have to give too much and by the latter because she would not receive enough. At the League meeting on January zoth, the stand on oil sanctions was left undecided. If they should yet employ an oil embargo it will either result in another World War or in a final triumph for the League. Mussolini has repeatedly declared that he will regard oil sanctions as an 2lCt of war, but of late he seems to have lost some of his grandstand bravado. With the World's disapproval of his actions- with forty-three nations of the world applying hampering economic sanctions against him- with the Ethiopian rains to dampen his ardour, I 4571?

They gagged him and bore him down to the river. There they placed him in a boat beside something that struggled in the darkness. As. an electric torch ilashed, he saw that the boy beside him was his chum, Bill Hamilton. Bill had walked down by the river, hoping that he would be mistaken in the darkness for jack. That-he had been, but the kidnappers soon finding their mistake had left Bill securely enough in the boat and gone in search of jack. Both boys were bound hand and foot and left in a deserted house further up the river. All night long they remained there. jack had wished so much to enter the race but now all his hopes were shattered. Suddenly he' became alert. His mother had a locket at home given to her by his father. If only he were not tied up in that awful house he might pawn the locket and raise enough money to buy a new bicycle tire. As morning dawned, he thought of the riders who would now be getting their bicycles in perfect condition, for it was the day of the contest. About eight o'clock, jack, who had been trying in vain to get something out of his pocket, uttered a grunt of satisfaction. He managed after much twisting to light a match and set fire to an old oily rag he had observed lying on the floor. After a little more writhing he succeeded in putting his hands over the flame. The cord that bound his wrists was soon burned through, but not before his hands were severely scorched. He quickly untied Bill and together they made their way home. jack found his mother very much worried about him, and the condition of his hands made her almost hysterical. She said she had had the town searched everywhere but without finding the slightest trace of him. He pawned the locket, purchased a new tube, had his hands bandaged, and put off excitedly for the race-track. The crowd was shouting. Small boys raced hither and thither in eager anticipation of the great race about to begin. The riders were at the mark. The starters were ready. Bang! They were off. jack was in sixth place and holding his own. As the riders passed ,sg-PALERE FLAMMAM in front of the stand, the crowd roared. Once, twice, three times they circled the course. Jack was in eighth place but still not tiring. At the end of six laps he was beginning to feel the strain. His legs and back ached. When nine laps were completed he realized it was now or never. Suddenly the thought of an anxious mother who had deprived herself of her most prized possession flashed vividly before him. He bent low over the handle-bars, working his legs -like pistons. His breath came in gasps, and sweat was pouring from his brow. He was gaining. One rider, two, three, four riders were left behind under this mighty burst of energy. A crash, a yell-and two riders fell to the ground badly injured. Only one rider remained to be overtaken. The finish was only one hundred yards away. jack stood up, put his whole weight on the pedals and his last ounce of strength into this final drive for victory. He swept across the mark-but just a yard behind his kidnapper rival-Cragstone. As the judge was about to announce his decision, his eyes fell upon the bandaged hands which had pained Jack so much in the race. He inquired as to how they had been injured. jack was very reluctant to tell him, however, not wishing to cause any trouble. At that moment Bill came forward, and in spite of Jackls protests told the officials the whole story. On hearing the startling evidence, the judge was inclined to discredit it, but in view of such unusual circumstances declined to give any decision on the race until a thorough probe had been made.
