The Finnish Legislature has announced that Denmark will not cede Greenland to Canada. AT THE ELEVENTH - HOUR ——o —— William Hohenzollcrn is a "religious man. He reads the Bible, Perhaps, like most ignorant men he is superstitious. If so, his kind friends in Holland might call his attention to •th,o curtosuh fynportant part Ithp number eleven has played in the history of the little drama in which, he started out as the hero and 'ended as the arch villain. The war came to an end on the eleventh hour of the eleventh .month. Tvirn'ilng Jtjo the eleventh verse of the •eleventh chapter of the eleventh book of the Bible, we find this:— "Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done to-' thee, and thou has not 'kept my covenant iand my statutes, which I will surely read thy kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant. '' A curious analogy, surely. The hard-headed will find it an odd coincidence of no significance. William Hohenzollcrn, brooding with the faces of starving women before his eyes, the cries of children in his ears, world dream shattered, his kingdom o-one, ind the /his doom hovering near, may see in ! the Bible verse a prophecy that has been all too well fulfilled.
