MENACE TO BRITISH TRADE.
London Saturday Review Sees Dan
ger in American Trusts.

LONDON, March A.-The Saturday Re
view, published this evening, acrimoniously
discusses the future relationship between
the United States and Great Britain in a
long article entitled, THE Rivals" After
pointing out that nothing material has
yet been the outcome of the passing wave
of sentimental hypnotism,' it proceeds to
blame the American trusts for the failure
of the British-American Canadian commits
sion, saying: Those trusts may be expect
ed TO menace British trade supremacy with
the same INSCRIPTIONS rivalry in the far
East is now shown in Canada, and ulti-
mately everywhere in the world. And, as
the trusts control American politics. such
immediate advantages England mig MT
gain from an alliance would be largely
overshadowed by the dangers into which
the trusts are likely to force America by
insisting upon an indefinite policy of eXpan-
sion." The article concludes by advising
England 10 pursue her own way treating
America with the same courtesy which she
extends to the continental nations, no less
and no more"

BONN, Germany, March 24.-G. w. Lett
ner, the linguist, is dead, aged fifty-nine

In early life DR.. Leitner, who was ma
tive of Hungary, studied Oriental languages
in the East. He was appointed first inter-
prefer to the British army operating in the

complish. While on this mission he en-
dured great suffering and passed through
many dangers. AT the Universal EXPOSE

grand diploma of honor accorded for the ad-
vancement of knowledge. He spoke and
wrote fifty languages. Returning to Lon

purpose of enlightening Europeans on the
subject of the languages of the East. In all
he founded over eighty institutions. He
also engaged in scientific research, accumu-
lated very valuable collection and was
the author of number of books.
