added that the suburban policeman,

of the French that it should be pos
sible for large agglomerations Of
eommunes containing 10000 or 30

more than a dozen policemen. The
expense of policing the suburbs is
mostly provided for by a tax on al

Police expenses in the provinces
are considerably less than in Paris.

London, Sept 1.-The impression
that Ambassador Bryce will nol re-
tain his post at Washington many
months longer PERSISTS in parliamen-
tary circles despite the repeated Of
fetal denials of change. When
Prime Minister Asquith answered
the last question on that subject he
said merely that Mr. Bryce would
return to Washington and RESUME
his duties in September. which was
not an entirely convincing denial or
an early change.
The fact that Mr. Bryce has held
the office for five years and has
reached the age of seventy-four. to-
gether with the possibility that the
Liberal government may not con-
tinue long in power. and that 9TH
ers have let it be known that they
would consider the Washington emf
bassy a suitable reward while yet
this government has the power OF
appointment, furnish reasons for the
belief that a change may soon take
place.
Lewis Harcourt, Secretary of Safe
for the Colonies. and Alfred Spender,
2ditor of the Westminster Gazette.
are two names most favored by the
Liberals as candidates for Mr..
Bryce's successor. 1t is notewor tly
that neither belongs to the diplomat
ge service and that both are COM
paratiyely young men.
The Washington post is regarded
- one demanding qualities not NJ,
to be found among professional dip-
lomats whose careers have been spent
in European capitals.
Mr.. Splenders title to recognition
is that he has been the most inli-
entail writer supporting the Liberal
party on the London Press. White

paper, is not tho most powerful Lib
eral organ, Mr.. Splender's utterane Is

Mr., Harcourt is a political pnliti-
