The Dowager Empress of Russia, who
arrives at Sandringham today. generally
travels all the way from Russia in her
own special train, which remains al
Calais until her return. The ira n. which
in bombproof and is most luxuriously

ago, when the empress paid a visit to her
daughter, the Grand Duchess Xenia. at
Barritz, the train was left at Bayonne
in charge of Cossacks. whose picturesque
dress was a source of much interest TO
the population.
A curious story is told by the ear
himself Of an episode that occurred dur
ing his visit to Queen Victoria at Bal
moral many years ago. When out one
day in Ballochbuie forest he asked his
way of gill.e. who. to his surprise, an

ALIENS ACT NOT SUCCESS.
Fails to Keep Undesirables Out Of
England.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON. June L. 1912
The aliens act is not keeping the I'M
desirables out OF the country. From the
Blue Book, recently issued. 1t appears
that expulsion orders were made against
this class last year to the number of $50
all criminals-of whom 254 were London
cases. 1O7 from the rest of England and
Wales and nineteen from Scotland
Only 10 per cent of the 2194 aliens
before the courts in 1911 were recon-
mended for expulsion, although many of
those who escaped such a recommends
ton had committed serious offenses. The
report makes the significant statement
that III the country is to obtain still
greater relief from the alien criminal 1t
can only be by the courts increas sing the
proportion of cases in which they recon-
mend expulsion"
The alien is generally a past master in
craftiness, and the aliens act has many
loopholes which assist him in circumvent-
ing the provisions Of the measure.

Organization Is Formed at English

LONDON, June 1, 1912.
Oxford, where a German society has
taken firm root. is now to have French
club. with permanent premises. a well
stocked reading room. and a library de-
voted to modern French literature. in
the formation of which the French min
lister for education is showing an active
interest
There are to be two classes Of men,
bership-reading room membership and
active membership. For the latter class
there are to be weekly meetings in
French OF an informal nature" and 1t is
hoped to arrange a series of lectures on
French subjects open to all members.
Though the club is primarily intended
for university men. membership will not
necessarily be confined to them
The formation Of the club may be taken
as sign of growing cosmopolitanism
and increasing interest in modern Ian
guages at Oxford.
