London, Jan. 6.-To ascertain how
much boys educated in the elementary
schools of England remember after
leaving school, several officers in
charge of recruiting depots have put
a series of fifteen questions to the
newest recruits. The replies in many
cases were amazing particularly as
the recruits generally come from the
larger cities having the best lemen-
tary schools.
At the depot thirty-five recruits
were examined. Fourteen, fifteen,
fourteen and eleven respectively
could not give reply to the questions
as to the identity Of Alfred the Great,
Nelson, Wellington and Shakespeare,
and many of the others had only
vague ideas as to who these heroes
of their country were.
To the question what is the Uni

Sentiment appears to be rapidly
growing for the view that the NnenA
cratic party can, with much credit to
itself, aid IN renewing such situations
as the above, by needing the recon-
mendation of the President. He
should be empowered, in his discre-
ton, to increase by administrative
order, the duty on one or more ar
ticles now imported from certain for
eign countries under the minimum
tariff rate-not necessarily to the full
extent of the maximum rate (25 per
cent increase)-but to such inter
mediate rates Is per cent, 10 per cent
or more) as in his Judgment may be
required to secure fair treatment for
American products, and to apply
such rates not only to dutiable ar
ticles, but also to articles now on the
free list, or to either or both classes
as may best serve the purpose in

FAIR PLAY FOR AMERICAN

1t is beginning to be apparent that
numbers of large industries in the
United States whose interests have
not, despite strong Governmental eff
forts. been accorded fair treatment
broad, are going to make strenuous
efforts to enable the Government of
the United States to properly care for
those interests.
Singularly enough although. inter

that the retaliatory clause of the law
as 1t now stands has probably proved
effective in securing for United
States exports generally fair treat

Although most of England's heroes
are represented in the capital of the
empire by memorials of various sorts,
the famous explorer, Captain James
Cook, who lost his life in the Hawai-.
ian Islands, is not numbered among
them, but this oversight will soon be
corrected by society which plans
to erect life-size statue on the Mall
to the great circumnavigator.
The plan originated with Sir James
Carruthers, former prime minister
Of New South Wales. On a recent
visit to London he was surprised that
there was no statue here to the man
who was responsible in a large meas
ure for the addition to the antipodean
territories to the British Empire. He
directed public attention to the over
sight and the agitation resulted in the
appointment of committee with
Postmaster General Samuel at its
head to provide a suitable memorial
King George ", at that time Prince
of Wales, accepted the presidency Of
the society for the erection of the
statue and although his elevation tc
the throne has caused him to with
draw from office in it, he continues

to give the movement his heartiest
support.
The government offered its aid
through the medium of the Board of
Works, which provided an admirable
site for the statue on the Mall side of
the new Admiralty Arch The design
and execution of the statue, which
will be unveiled some time next
year, has been entrusted to Sir Thorn
as Brock.

The police have just succeeded in
getting rid, for five years at least, OF
man who carried on the triple &C.
equations OF manager for a large
West-End firm, anarchist and coiner.
He was caught while engaged in the
latter occupation and sentenced to
five years with hard labor. Alexander
Estegny was his name and his de-
scription can be found in the Rogucs'
Galleries throughout the world. He
has held numerous positions of re-
sponsibility and just before his arrest
was engaged as manager at a salary
of fifty dollars a week. In the eve
nings the police found Estegny engag-
ed in large workshop at Hampstead,
fitted up with a complete coiner's out
fit. He had also been watched as an
anarchist and he was known to be a
member of an important anarchists
club in London. For that, however,

/ ism they like and for this privilege

tees into theory in England immuni-
