 There was a large attendance at Professor Henry s. Gulliver's lecture before the Current Events club at the High school building yesterday after noon. The subjects discussed were the treaty between England and Ja- pan, the Chinese problem. Prince Henrys visit and the purchase of the Danish West Indian islands. The pur- chase of these islands was explained and justified as timely and advantage ouS for both parties to the treaty. The speaker stated that Prince Henry's coming visit was regarded in London as the most important movement of the German government since the Prussian alliance. The visit evidently had some political significance, and it suggested to those who follow the trend of affairs that Germany might attempt to buy the Philippines. The alliance between England and Japan appeared to be an alliance of northern interests against southern interests. Modern progress has been shown by Japan in this latest move. As to the Chinese problem, the speaker had many interesting things to say. The lecture was one of the best given so far by Professor Gulliyer.
