Woolwich. It should be understood, by the way, that the British army does not depend for its officers on the 70 T. e. this branch of the service practically representing the profession of the up- per classes, who get their instruction ar Sandhurst, the English West Point
 Thus the officers training corps in peace times. Since the beginning of the war, however, it's ranks have been joined by thousands of educated young business men, who were eager to de- vote themselves to the defense of their country, and in the case of these latter the system has been one of cramming such new members of the 70.

 At Oxford the 70. T. C." always has been especially srong, and, in the first month of war, over 1000 of the under- graduates were recommended for com missions. What is more, the classes that the reformer always want to reform away, the well -to-do, the athletic and the sporting, were the first to go, strain ing at the leash, streaming up in the vacation begging and paying for com missions, longing to get to the French shore. A thousand more Oxford under graduates were also recommended and withdrawn before the vacation ended, and the result, so far as the university Is concerned. is comparative solitude and silence The more so, by the bye, as between 20 and 30 of the American Rhodes scholars, having obtained ex- tensions of their Christmas holidays, are in Blgium, practically administer ing the distribution of the food which Is pouring into that much-tried country from the United States at the rate, now, of four or five shiploads a week

 A CorrespondenceD- D-Should the Et5<s9,s1 \ United States decide to take to Uessz4&Y heart the recent words of Pres
 ident Wilson and to inaugurate "a system by which every citizen vol unteering may be made familiar with the use of modern arms" perhaps no better first step could be taken than by creating, in connection with our colleges and universities an Amer ican counterpart of a volunteer or ganzation in this country which, orig mating in peace tmes has. in the present crisis, proved invaluable, ellie iting for the efficiency of it's members the high praise of the late Lord Rob erts (himself, of course, an advocate of compulsory military service), and which. up to the present has con tributed over 10000 officers to the Brit ish army.
 This organization is the so-called 70. T. G." or officers training corps" which exists. as it's name i'm plies to provide officers for the Brit ish army. It may practically be said to be the creation of the present lord chancellor Viscount Haldane, during his historic and now much discussed administration of the office of war minister and branch of it exists at Oxford, Cambridge and every other English, Scotch, Irish and Welsh uni versity, as well as at Eton, Harrow, Winchester and all the other of the big so-called public but actually pri- .Yp<e schools of this country.
 At the present time, of course, Lord Haldane. whose comparatively recenr visit to the United States is fresh in everyone's mind, is d target for at- tack by critics of the opposing polit- fcal faith who demand his removal from office, first on the ground af his supposed regard for Germany, where he was largely educated and which he once described as his spiritual home,'' and secondly on the ground that. as war minister. he made se- rious reductions in the regular army of this country. But whatever mis- takes Lord Haldane may have com mitted. the fact remains thoush his detractors appear to have forgotten it, that he turned the formerly unwieldly and badly equipped volunteer force of these islands into the territorial force ed, has given so good an account of ing corps, Or 70.

 Buenos Aires. M0wANT to wake up the capital IXl ists. manufacturers and bus- 611 ness men of the United States k2exs4J to the enormous opportunities of
 the Argentine market. The war in Europe has thrown it wide open, and has offered us advantages that may not come again in a century. Until now the big things of this part of the world have all gone to Europe. This is so not only as to the selling of merchandise. but also as to financial investments and good gov ernment contracts, % per cent of the pub lie and private loans having been placed there. Great Britain alone has more than sloo0,oo0ooo in good dividend-paying Ar genuine railways. and Germany, France and Italy have large interests in banks and industries of one kind or other The foreign trade of Argentina now amounts to almost s1,000, ,000,000 per annum. and she ranks second on our hemisphere as the best market for foreign goods Her pur- chases abroad far surpass those of any other South American country and her
 
 the whole world
 But few of us have any ideea of the extent, the resources and possibilities of the Argentine Republic. This is not a baby country of the backwoods. and it does not do business in the small. The land is one-third as large as the United States proper, and acre for acre it has far more cultivable territory. It has now about S0,000,000 acres under crops, and it could give it's every family POO acres of grain land and have some to spare. It is one of the best grazing countries on the face of the globe. It has many men whose possessions far surprass those of Job be- fore the devil attacked him; and it has so much stock that if it were divided evenly each family would own five horses 20 cows and about 40 sheep.
 In 1895 the live stock was valued at s3So, o,0o000o. Thirteen years later it was worth s650 GOO, and with the increased demand of the war in Europe 1t is now worth close to sl 1000, 00o,00O. As far as grain and meat are concerned, Argen- tina has long been spoon-feeding John Bull, and within the past year or 80 she has begun to spoon-feed Uncle Sam. But these figures give little idea of the wealth of this great republic and its

gauged according to the amount of busi- ness done.
 Tn closing I would say that no ona should expect to do much business in any of the South American countries with the exception of Brazil, without un- derstanding the Spanish language, and that in Brazil he should be able to speak Portuguese. The man who comes here should have money to spend and time to. work the trade properly, and he should be well educated and polite and well dressed. There is no place in the world where good manners mean more, and where they will pay quite so well.

posed by the headmaster of Haileybury college, Herts, 'That in the opinion of this association instruction in the ele- ments of military drill and the use of the rife should form part of the education of all boys in secondary schools" Most of the pedagogues, it is stated, regretted only that the resolution was not worded more strongly and would have made it apply to boys in all schools.
 These headmasters had some striking tales to tell of their boys keenness to serve their country. Said one: ''The usual day for any of my boys to go to town to see dentist is Wednesday. During the last term several of the boys came for the usual dentists leave and as usual I said, All right, Wednesday, Can't we go on Thursday, sr?' they asked; and when I asked their reason they explained that on Wednesday they drilled, whereas on Thursday they played football and that they would sooner miss football than drill"
 Meanwhile, in Germany highly signifi- cant action has just been taken by the military authorities. A decree has come from the war office providing flor the preparation of the youth of the country for military service The scheme is to be carried out jointly by the ministries 'f education and public works in association with the leaders of all juvenile organiza- tions. The preamble for this decree reads:
 For the removal of any doubts the war office states that the military prepara- tion of the youths is to be d direct pri- mary school for service in the army and navy. In order. therefore, to be truly popular and fulfill its object. the scheme must embrace all classes of the nation. The cooperation of members, leaders, and assistants of all organizations who are inspired by spirit of sacrifice for Kaiser and empire will be welcome. Any other considerations do not conduce to forces and which must, therefore. be inn planted in the hearts of our youth.
 ''The object of the proposed training is many into characters of uprightness and arms. and make of them men who are proud of their German fatherland and prepared at all times to defend it's honor.n
 Roughly. the war office proposes that schoolboys, between the ages of 1o and 16. shall receive instruction in military preparation" once week. preferably on regular afternoon or evening, in the public gymnastums maintained by most German towns and cities. In addition to indoor gymnastic training, route marches will be heli on alternate Sundays of each month. In continuation schools (schools

province and here in Buenos Aires the annual fee for selling goods is s20o in gold. In the province of Entre Rios a similar license costs $500 and in some of the other provinces they range from $50 to s10o.
 There are also laws requiring that all contracts be written on stamped paper; the value of the stamps being regulated by the amount of the contracts, ranging from cents to s50 All bills of exchange and promissory notes have to have stamps and in addition certain of the provinces have their own special stamp taxes.
 The tariff is general as to almost all imported goods. There is a big cus- tomshouse building at Buenos Aires and q long line of brick warehouses on the banks of the Rio de La Plata, where soods are stored in bond and kept there until the duties are paid. During the recent hard times there have been sev- eral hundred automobiles kept in the warehouses because the men who ordered them have not had the money to pay the tariff upon them.
 The tariffs vary according to the char acter of the goods and some other things. on carriages, harness and furniture. The ing, boots, shoes and hats pay 50 cents ad valorem, and there is similar tariff on carriages, haness and furniture. The tariff on dressed leather, blankets and unbleached linens is 40 per cent, and that or wool and woolen stuffs 35 In addition there are specific articles that have spe- cial taxes and there are reciprocal tariffs

From the London Chronicle.
 NO other library in the world can com pare with the Bodleian in the charm of us setting. The British Museum, the bipiotheque Rationale and the Library or Congress at Washington are great in stitutions of state. making little or no appeal to sentiment. The Bodleian, as MT. J. E. Firth remarks, makes an inti- mate and personal appeal to all who climb the winding staircase which, gives access to its ancient galleries and halls.> The spirit of Sir Thomas Bodley peyz vades them; one feels instnctively that here is the handiwork of a single man, and that a single brain devised the whole magnificent scheme. The librarian is still Bodley's librarian. Bodley is and must ever continue to be. the presiding genius of the place.
