League of Peace has offered it's ser vices for mediation in the Balkans to the British Foreign office, through Dr. William Osborne Mcdowell. He Is new in England in the interests of the great interparliamentary meeting which will be held in the United States and Canada in 1915.
 Dr. Mcdowell believes that the League of Peace, operating with US American officers, would be in sucn an impartial position that they could represent all the parties concerned. he has interviewed number oi prominent men of both parties and he is hopeful that something may come of his suggestion, which has been conveyed to Sir Edward Grey, secre- tary of state for foreign affairs, in formal manner.
 Dr. Mcdowell Is securing from members of parliament the same signed promise that he secured from members of congress, to the effect that they will support any movement which seeks to get. together the leg islatures of the civilized nations in an effort to establish universal peace by international legislation In prep aration for this great parliamentary gathering. meeting will be held at fine Hague in 1913 and the plans for the latter convention are practically complete.
 Fol the meeting which is to follow in 1915 it Is expected that 25,000 an-
 horized members of national legislp- lures will be present. New York has offered to build a structure to ac- commedate this gigantic parliament. but if the present plans are followed it is likely that the sessions will he held in an open air amphitheatre in California.
 The law of divorce will undergo T far reaching change in the British Isle if the recommendation of the majo.- ity of the Royal Commission on the subject are enacted into law They will in all probability propose the rs. peal of the present clause which ia vors the man by forcing the wrong ed wife to prove both infidelity and cruelty, while man need prove only infideity. No other cause of divorce is admitted under the English code, but this also Is likely to be changed. The long delayed and much antici- Lated report has been definitely prom ised for the first week in November. when it will be submitted to the king through the home secretary.
 The report and the commission , h tnt- As far back as last December the first draft was circulated for the signatures of the commissioners. but at that time Lork Gorel, the chairman, fell i'll and nothing more was done until October, this year
 The commission was appointed by King Edward in October. 1909. From February to December of the follow ing year it was engaged in hearins the story of how the present divorce jaws work and the arguments both for and against reform from judges, law yers, ministers, actors dramatists and Journalists. Since the first pub lie sitting one member. Sir George White, has died, and two. Sir Rufus Isaacs and Lord Derby. have resigned.
 The-report will undoubtedly be di-I vided into majority and minority re ports. The latter will probably bear tbe signatures of the archbishop ! York, Sir William Anson and S.r Lewis Dibdn. These men represent the Established Church of E1glaaa and the Roman Catholic church, which oppose any alteration of tlls present divorce laws.
 The almost unknown mo mans land, lying between the frontiers of India, China and Tibet is the object- i've of British expedition which is t. be dispatched from Calcutta shortly. This region, which has never been accurately mapped, may be the the ater of Important international dis putes if the protest lodged by Great Britain against the Chinese encroach- ment of Tibet causes friction
 A year ago this frontier was invau- ed by British military force which, starting from Sadiya in Eastern As sam, marched through the deadly jungle and across dangerous rivers to the Abor regions, where they avenged the murder by the Abor tribesmen of British officer and sew eral members of his party. The -e- giun was roughly mapped and this map will serve as check on the possible encroachments of China.
 The new expedition Is expected to continue the map work of the Abor punitive force. In the region of the friendly Mishmi tribe. 750 men will be set to work building roads. and other members of the party will seek to discover how far the Chinese in. flupnce has spread toward Rima, place which trustworthy maps give as being in southeastern Tibet
 Like it's predecessor, the present expedition will kill two birds wl.h
