American Society in London by the
Lord High Chancellor Of England,
viscount Haldane. In his address
Lord Haldam referred 10 his recent
visit TO America and the impression
that he received OF the high ideals
that were held in common by both
the British and American people.
He was especially impressed with
the character OF President Wilson
and the fact that altho advanced 10
the highest national Office, he had
not ceased TO be thinker and n
moralist. Referring TO the Monroe
Doctrine, he said the United States
took the responsibility for the pre-
servation of the liberties Of the
smaller nations Of that hemisphere.
He gave recognition to the wholly
disinterested action Of the United
States in the case Of Cuba, and con-
sidered that the same high spirit
and aim is now brought into the
policy Of the United states in deal
ing with adjacent countries. Over
$50 American men and women with
a large number Of British guests
were present on this occasion.

Thru the confession Of a naval en-
gineer 200 marines and eighteen SER
geants were arrested in the marine
barracks just as they were about to
initiate an uprising as result OF a

failure. Other phases OF the upris-
ing are receiving attention from the
authorities at Lisbon.

aries.
American and Norwegian mission
aries were made prisoners by White
Wolfe and his thousand brigands in

sionaries succeeded in escaping

cover from the serious effects Of the
shock and hardships to which they
were exposed.

Germ any Betrayed for Cigars.
German officials and leading peo-
pie are feeling very keenly the dis
grace fastened upon German officers
by the revelation of the krupp trial.
Previously when Germany heard OF
graft, il was with horror and the
statement that while such things
were possible in France. America, or
Russia, they could not happen in
Germany. Papers are pointing out
that il was not necessary to let the
world know that German officials
would betray state secrets in return
for cigars, suppers, and brides no
larger than a walters tip in first
class restaurant,
German Jews Dema and Equality.
The association of German Jews
in a recent national conference at
Hamburg demands of the state that
il subsidize all religious communi-

They demand an abolition of all dis

Jews for the German Empire which
