Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs,
Prince Lobanoff- Rostovsky, has done
so much to promote
The Foreign Office has given out
the following semi-official note;
"The out burst OF the continental
press against Great Britain, which
is accused OF selfish designs in the
East, has astonished official circles.
Nothing that is being done or con-
templated by the Government could
give the slightest color to such
assertions. The Government can
not hold itself responsible for the
natural horror inevitably inspired in
the minds OF the public by the afro
cities at Constantinople. The po-
Icy of Great Britain has, however,
undergone no change whatever, and
the Government is acting in COM
plete accord with the other powers.
as it has hitherto done.
Nevertheless, it is becoming OBJ
vious that the public feeling in
Great Britain has been so outraged
by the shocking events in Constan-
tinople that the Government would
never be supported in again siding
with the Porte. If the powers can
not see their way to adopt means to
operate to end the carnage, the
only course open to Great Britain is
to stand aside and to hope for a
more satisfactory state OF affairs"

has been spending the summer in
the Sierra Madre Mountains, west OF

taken to Altata, from which point it

The arrival of Sir William Lane
Booker is not without Significance.
For it was Sir William, so many
years British Consul General, who
organized the elaborate system for
watching Irish agitators which en-
abled the English Police Department
to keep track OF everything going
on among the Clan na-Gael and its
kindred associations on this side of
the Atlantic. Sir William it was
who first induced his Government
to intrust the duty of watching the
Irish to Americans, in preference to
detectives from London and Dublin

VIENNA, Sept. 1S-The Neue Fret

In the hands OF any other power the

difficult to say.

tion Of the people of England at the
Sultan's inhuman Government, but

or damp situation should be accepted
under any circumsta noes unless it is in a
position to be thoroughly drained, and
thus converted into solid, dry land In a
site of this kind it is preferable feasible
and practical to erect building in parts
and at various times that will eventually
make one entire whole. A site facing on
two streets, front and rear, is one of the
best that can be had. On the front part
of site of this kind a building may
first be erected that will have, say,
four rooms for so or go scholars each
The stairs and conveniences may be placed
so that center addition can be erected
thereto, giving, say, eight additional
rooms, which eight rooms can be built at
any time that the growth of the commu-
nifty requires it.
After this the first part of the building
may be duplicated on the rear or back
street, thus giving a 10 room school to ac-
commodate so or go scholars TO each room,
which is practically all that really ought
to go, in a suburban place, into one build

third story can be added which will give
