THE CHINESE LOAN AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DISSOLVED; LONDON, Sept. 29-A practical disolution has taken place of the Chnese loan agreement, hy which the five powers concerned, Great Britain, France, Germany, Rnssiuand Japan, gave a monopoly to certain banking groups for all Vllinese loans, and from which the United States govern- ment withdrew its support. The British government took the initiative in the dissolution of the agreement hccuusc of the failure I the other powers to observe its spirit. They had made of the M1102 ment, according to the British o. cials, simply un instrument againsf tho interest of British financiers, ’ The five powers mentioned still act together in making loans to the Chi- nese government for general adminis- t‘rative purposes, but each of the powers has been lent free to support any of its citizens in floating loans for' railroads and other industrial projects nm-1 for provincial purposes. 'Tho declared object of the original agreement, it is pointed out, here, was to prevent an international scramble to lend China money, but such a scramble 'is in progress. and ARDIAN; _.Office n\~»0hnrlc\teto1n Q' Brunch Dillon at Bnmmarlillc Albcrioill Devil. and lontllve.

The Federal Government, by its recent amendment of the Criminal Code, has provided satisfactory means oi dealing with the "white slave trailic," and social 'workers throughout the length and breadth of the Dominion are making a .deter- mined eiiort to drive the scourge from our land. Curiously enough it is easier to protect incomers from other 'coun- tries than those within our borders. All imnigrant and passenger ships are met at the ports of landing by special committees who, nolens volens, look after the new-comets and see that they are put in com- munication, in the provinces and cit- ies to which they are destined, with people who will see, as far as prac- ticable, that no harm. befalls them. But emigrants from the Maritime Provinces to Upper Canada, the Northwest, or to Boston, have no such protecting influences surround- ing them. How many hundreds of girls have left this Island for Bos- ton and for the Northwest. who have never been heard of, or who may have written once or twice, and then became as silent as the grave? Hardly a week passes but the clergy of this Island are appealed to by some sorely distressed parent concerning the disappearance of some child, son or daughter, who has set out buoyed up with hops to make a fortune in the “huh of the universe" or in the golden West.. The clergy know full well that, if it he a girl, the chances are she has got in the grip of the “white sla- ver" who is constantly in Boston ‘und Montreal on the look-out for frcsh victims for his nefarious traf- fic. How to circumvent them, and what steps should be taken to prevent thc young people of this Island coming to such an end, will be among the problems discussed at the 'conference in Zion tomorrow. Rev. Dr. Shear- cr, Toronto, who has had extensive experience imsocial work throughout (lnnada, will be present and give the assistance of his experience and ad- vice. In whatever action social workers lof Canada decide upon, they are cer- tain of the sympathy and support of Mr. Borden.` Speaking in the House of Commons on the,subjcctin June, the Prime Minister said: ~ "If any further amendment tothe Criminal Code can bc provided for the purpose of tracing and discover- ing those who make their livelihood by this means, and of punishing them as they ought to he punished for their efforts to lead innocent girls astray, I am willing to pledge myself to this Parliament and to the people of this country, so far as my ability goes, to put such a meas- ure rhrongh the House and to en- deavor to obtain for it the consent of Parliament." THE ABN vRli\L CHIL D. Professor Tait's address a few days ago before the Teachers' Asso- ciation has aroused considerable thought and occasioned considerable questioning. ' The abnormal childi There are many of them and they are growing into criminality as those of a, few (years ago have grown into,the crim- inals of today. There are abnormal cattle, abnormal horses and sheep the dissatisfied faction of British fin- and “Wm” 1" "’““Y` 0( 01"' Mm” “nd anciers thinking that their govern- ment is using its influence to prevent flocks, and experts from the Depart- nts of Agriculture, federal and bohyhrattl required to' produce _tht 'inerinnrgto of proteidl but quality oi . bush., *'11* hw many boys and girls are given “bli- aucod rations" to ensure the belt physical and mental strength, the greatest endurance in study or work'r_ It is undoubtedly true, as Profes- sor Tait claimed, that feeble-minded ness in congenital; -it is also true that many children born wgth norm- al physical and mental health. 218" bec0me_ feeble-minderli, physical and mpntal wrecks because of absolute neglect or criminal carelessness on~ the part of those who should .know how to care for them, and who really do know how to care for the animals in their stables or in their _ fields. This may read strangelyin a country often complimented on its intelligent men and women; it is nevertheless true and not of this province alone but of the grant rim- jority of civiliyed countries, It is no doubt true, as Professor 'rnu mid, that thc- "Twentieth och- tury will be noted for a great ad- vance in mental science aloiig the lines of psychology." When this ad- vance comes it will result from greater care of the physical healthi of the children, more attention to the food they eat and the physical fitness with which they are able to pursue their mental training. “A sound mind in a sound body" is a' long recognized rule of life. “The school should ilt the young man and the young woman for the duties of life," and the home must fit that same young man and young' woman for school and for life as- well. If we are to build up a na- tion that is mentally and morally fit we must build up the children mentally, morally and physically.: No nation can rise higher than the' highest type of home in that nation. Protect the home and you safeguard the 'child; safeguard the child, men- tally, morally and physically a.nd_ you insure the future welfare of the' state. And *the state huilt.upon the, solid rock of these conditions will endure “all the slings and arrows oi-| outrageous fortune" and all the storms and tribulations of the ages.| Child labor and drudgery, evils which we usually-associate with life ~in the larger cities, are not entire strangers even to this blest land olL our own.

(`om1nercial travellers visiting the Island say they have,done more business in the Maritime Provinces this trip than ever before. Business' is booiniug, they say. Hon. Sydney Fisher has been chosen Liberal Candidate for Chat-' cauguay, a Liberal stronghold whichi has not for half av century elected; other than a straight Iilberal. It is expected by the Liberal party that Mr. Fisher will be elected by a mai-I ority of 300 or 400. _ 'Lord Northcliffc, who is said to be behind Mr. Brenton li/fcNab in the new Montreal Daily Mail vcnture,1 has been complaining that the M0nt»-I real reporters have not done hi-m jus-t tice. To th s Mr. F. R.
