the Jews In London to bring about a dis
persai Of the Ghetto''-a distribution
through the suburbs and the country Of the
many thousands Of poorer Jews who are
at this moment crowded into certain parts
of East London. The tendency Of. the chill
dren of Abraham to crowd together In great
cities comes of habit born of one Of the
many restrictive regulations forced upon
them in earlier days. The constant influx
of alien Hebrews into the metropolis In
is realized among those Of the faith that
unless some serious steps are taken to put
a stop to It grave difficulties must arise
with the surrounding Christian population.
The beginnings OF such difficulties are al
ready seen. The poor Jews are largely en-
plcyed by men of their own race in the tail
oring and boot and shoe trades, and 1t Il
proposed, to begin with, that employers
shall wherever possible remove their work
shops and factories to more open neighbor-
hoods, taking their workpeople with them.
Some country and suburban local authori-
ties seem willing to encourage the move
ment. 1t Is hoped that this will not come
to nothing as 30 many similar efforts on
behalf Of the Jews have done. They them
selves are interested, SO perhaps It will be
successful.
Lord Wolseley has postponed his project
ed trip to Canada for a very strong reason.
He Is engaged In preparing his answer to
the attack which Lord Lansdowne made
upon him In the house of lords, and Is de-
that he has Cancelled the trip across the
Atlantic Rarely has a generals lifelong
reputation on the battlefield been shattered
by single speech as in this case. Lord
;Wolseley is said to have taken the matter
very much to heart, and intends to go fully
into the military steps which caused the
initial biunders Of the war. He is not ex-
ipected to deliver his reply in the house OF
lords for some time. The speech Will then
he added as a sort of concluding chapter
to the autobiography upon which he has
been engaged since he retired from the
WAR office Lord Wolseley's friends are
very angry at the charge that he did not
advise the government as to the military
measures that would be necessary to sub
jugate the Beers. His intimates declare
that he was not consulted at all until the
outbreak of war was imminent. and was
not aware of the menacing nature of the
situation. They claim, too. that when the
are made known under
which the late commander-tn-chfef failed to
warn the government that one army corps
would not be sufficient to send to South
Africa a very different complexion will be
given to his apparent failure In dischare-
ang his responsibilities.
Terms of Royal Toasts.
It will doubtless amuse Americans to
learn that the much-vexed question Of how
the terms Of the royal toasts are in future
to be honored has been definitely settled
by the college of heralds. It appears that
during the past few weeks considerable
difficulty has been experienced in arrang-
ing toast lists. The common form was to.
place the first toast as that of their most
gracious majesties King Edward VII and
Queen Alexandra. This, 1t appears, is not
the view of the college of heralds. before
whom the matter has been submitted. In
their opinion the first toast must be that
of his majesty the king. Her majesty
Queen Alexandra is bracketed in the second
toast with the Duke and Duchess of Corn
wall and York and the other members OF
the royal family. It is said that It was
at the request of the king himself that the
matter was placed before the coHege OK
heraIds and after having examined all pre-
cedents on the subject they sent him this
decision. So now we are happy and can
eat our public dinner with a perfect con-
scienca L. H MOORE.
