 Through Herr Ballin the Kaiser can learn more about the real state of-public opinion than he has ever been able to as- certain in his seclusion in court circles. Moreover, Herr Ballin, a man of bus mess, is a man of peace, and his influence is exerted to maintain peace
 He Is working hard to create a feeling !n Germany in favor of an understanding between Great Britain and Germany and he tries to lessen the friction between Germany and France, and to smooth over all international difficulties.
 His exceptional influence at court has excited the keen jealousy of the aristo- cratic, bureaucratic, military and other exalted groups, who formerly commanded the Kaiser's ear They recognize in Herr Ballin not merely a menace to their own personal influence, but also q sign and token of the new order of things. Siren. uous efforts have been made to encom- pass his downfall and to bring him into disfavor, but without success.

 The selection of the suitable inleerson- ator of the Iron Duke is regarded as a matter of great importance. The part calls for man of fine presence, not too young, between 35 and 50 for choice, and any personal resemblance to the great commander would naturally be an ad- vantage.

The object of the new regulations is primarily to give these lads-and girls, too-an opportunity of getting work for W hich they may be adapted-
 The higher education subcommittee ol the London county council has suggested that there should be juvenile branches of the labor exchanges, wheh should be put into close touch with the elementary schools. the trade schools, chiidrens care committees, and existing voluntary asso- cis tions dealing with arpre nticeshin, em- ployment and care of children So far as
 present. arrangements go the existing labor exchanges are to be used for regis tration purposes by juveniles, but the new regulations make it possible for any or all of the education committees suS- gestions to be adopted.
 One of the recommendations Of the poor-law commission was that associated with the labor exchanges there should be.

The board of trade has not gone cutie so far as this recommendations, but enc of the new regulations is a step in the same direction. This provides for the application of the regulations by any To- cal education authority for higher educa- tion.

 The education authority must submit its scheme for the exercise of these powers to the board of education, and 1t must be approved by the board and the board of trade before it is put into operation When it is remembered that between H and so per cent of boys enter unskilled oc- equations on leaving school 1t will be seen that there is a vast field of work be- fore the labor exchanges in their new scheme.

BLOOD AND THUNDER
 STORIES ARE BARRED

Geneva, March 12.-(Special )-Recently the Swiss railway authorities prohibited the sale of all works of the detective type at their railway bookstalls, and the Sher- lcck Holmes series came under the ban. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, on learning of the affair. addressed letter to the Swiss authorities. pointing out that the conti- ent was inundated with bad literature of the detective novel type, for which he was not responsible, nor was he able to prevent the sale of such works unless his rame was used. "There is nothing what ever in any of the Sherlock Holmes stories that can injure anybody adds Sir Ar thur.
 Although sympathizing with Sir Arthur, the Swiss papers are inclined to support the action of the federal authorities, ar guing that although several authors of repute may suffer, drastic measures are necessary to wipe out the moral poison of such 'literature' with which Switzerland overflcws. Several towns are following the example of the federal railway com- Iany.

London, March 12.-(Special)-The su- premacy of the alien waiter is threatened by a new institution entitled the Loyal British Walters society, which is mak- ing determined attempt to depose the foreigners and reinstate the British waiter.
 "In London alone as many as 13oooo for eign walters are employed" said Sir Will liam Serjeant in a recent interview. This is due 10 the fact that up to the present the French, the Italian and the German have proved that they are beAer suited to this class of work.
 "They are better trained as walters. They are cheaper, and they find that 1t is more profitable to seek work here than in their own country.
 "When we hear of the daily increase in the unemployed the great number of for.

Paris March 12.-(Special. )--Ex-Presi- dent Roosevelt is due to lecture at the Sorbonne on April 16. There is already large demand for places. The American colony is very large and prosperous one in Paris with notifications that extend to the Latin quarter where there is church for the use of the American stu dents, and other numerous privileges de- signed for their welfare. It is certain that the amphitheatre in the great building of the University of Paris will be more than half filled. with the lecturers com patriots.
 Sir Ernest Shackleton showed equal courage in going through the French lan- guage as in penetrating to the inhospi- table south. His struggle with the tongue of Moliere were heroic, and were re- warded by the sympathetic applause of his | listeners. MT. Roosevelt comes, I hear, better equipped, linguistically. He has already delivered in French a speech last | ing for half an hour, and, although he | sounds the "t'' in ''democraticy and makes other little errors in pronouncia- tion, his French is perfectly comprehen- sible.
