the London Spectator says:
To those who have not seen India

scribe what he saw In the simplest
way, and by this means gives the read
er a strong sense of the reality or
what he is told Nowhere is this done
with more completeness than In the
opening chapter on Bombay. What
strikes him is not the place so much
as the people. Every street swarms
with them. and mo half dozen seem
alike" Their color varies from white
to very nearly black, their costume
from the frock coat to the loin
cloth" The ear is as much occupied
as the eye. for the slightest transac-
ton appears to require the unloosing
simultaneously of all tongues in
wide circle Of disinterested specta-
tors" The spectator may flatter him.

this has not taken him far. Either
Hindu or Mohammedan may belong to

and the Hindu may according to his
caste, be the most exalted OF human
kind or at a depth so low as hardly
to be, or to reckon himself, human"

BRYCE SAYS WARS COME FROM FOLLY

James Bryce. the British ambassa-
dor, told the committee for the cele-
bration Of the centenary of peace be-
tween English-speaking peoples at q
dinner In New York the other night.
that nearly all wars had been due to
human folly or human passion.
He dwelt on how much better It
was to celebrate the wisdom which
had ended a war and avoided any sub
seQuent conflict, rather than the want
of skill and wisdom which made war
possible.
The ambassador described what
had been accomplished during his
official stay in Washington to remove
differences between the United States
and Great Britain. and to avoid diff
ferences in the future. He reviewed
the three arbitrations and several
treaties leading to a settlement of
the Canadian boundary dispute; the
Newfoundland fisheries question; the
matter Of the use Of the waters on

The petitioner was adjudged a bankrupt on January 31, 1913. At the first meet ing of the creditors, which was held before Referee w. H. Adams, W. F. Whitney was elected trustee of the estate. The total liabilities were $23,- 797.63, while the assets were $6130. The assets were tied up, however, and on account of the number of legal en- tanglements surrounding the transac- tions of the bankrupt prior to the time that he was adjudged bankrupt, noth- ing has ever been realized upon the estate.
