BISMARCK is not only an able minister but
prompt collector. The first instament of the
war indemnity of 50O0OO,OOO francs was to be

government has offered its own bank notes in

RUMORED FRESH COMPLICATIONS IN EU-
RoPE.-If the cable reports OF Saturday can be
taken as evidence, Great Britain and Germany
are liable to come into collision at much ear
lier period than the most timid British writer's
have predicted. Germany, or Prussia, or Bis
marck, (who is Germany persopified.) wants
Heligoland, now under the English flag, and
will pay for it with part Of the money receiv-
ed from France, although no mention is made
of the source of Prussian funds. England, as
a money -making nation, was expected to close
with this offer, but instead of this its represent
tative CURLY retorts that Germany cannot have
the island under any circumstances. HeligO-
land, which thus excites International interest,
is small island in the North Sea, forty-six
miles northwest of the mouths of the Elbe and
the Weser, with an area of five and quarter
square miles. 1t is in reality a huge rock about
200 feet in height, on which has been built a
village of some 5000 people. s.fa
The English have held the post since 1907,
and propose TO continue the same occupancy
despite Bismarck's representation of the ad
vantage it was to the French feet during the
late war, and that under any foreign owner
ship it is perpetual menace to Germany. The
British Ministry evidently appreciated all the
benefits Of this position before these were sug-
gested by bismarck. and with diplomatic cool
ness and courage Informs the naughty Prus-
sian that they will not be reliDquished in favor
of any other power. This is the seveIest cut
Bismarck has received since he began the sue
cessful endeavor to elevate Prussia to com
manding place among European nations ).

We were glad to know that the recent visit
to Boston and Lynn and the laying of the cor
ner stones for Odd Fellows halls in each place
has stimulated the Order ia this city to the adj
vantages OF building hall for their own pur-
poses Several locations suitable for such a
building have been mentioned, but ne of the
hest that could lie selected is the Old Third
Parish lot on the corner of Congress and
Chapel streets. This is large and every way
suitable lot for hall, as it might have en-
frances on each street. We understand that
this lot could be obtained at a low price, and
although dwelling house has been erected on
the rear of this lot, vet this could be removed
at little expense. We suggest that means be
taken to purchase this or some other lot Tor the
purposes of the ODD Fellows Hail. at an early
day. FL&T
