her mother on her eighteenth birthday

the wish TO become a nurse like the

however, stood firm and the young

Alexandra as head of the British Red

T ONDON, Eng, May 22.-The inroads
made upon Britain's art treasures
during the past few years by the
Metropolitan Museum of New York, by
private American collectors, and by the
Friedrich Museum in Berlin, are lament
ed and reviewed in the report of 4
committee of the trustees of the British
National gallery, which has lust been
made public in the form of a govern
ment blue book. The committee. which
is headed by lord Curzon, was appointed
in 1911 TO discuss possible steps to en-
able Great Britain TO retain possession
of important works Of art.
The report shows that 400 famous
masterpieces are known to have left
England in recent years. The list in
eludes 80 Rembrandts, q Rubenses. q
Van Dyeks, 10 Holbeins, % GainsbOr-

Since the parasite affects the children
most heavily, stunting their bodies and

an alarming condition existing among

physical debility is due to the complete

Washington, D. c., May 22.-Riga, the
most ultra-western town in the whole
MuscoFlte empire, city OF merchant
princes OF bursting warehouses and
miles OF crowded docking, Of vigorous
Teutonic architecture and cosmopolitan
organization, with a hurrying, tense
business life that finds its counterpart
IN New York and Hamburg, lies near
the head OF the Gulf Of Riga, a few
miles northeast Of AIitau. or Just back
Of the struggling Russo-German lines
in the Baltic provinces. Riga is a
great commercial city. It stands third
among Russia's seaports, and second
among all the ports upon the Baltic sea
where commercial cities have been
growing and building for centuries The
city is 1863 miles southwest Of Petrograd
and is filled with the spirit Of modern
business It is a main gateway into
west Russian hinterlands and is, prob
ably, the most up to date city to be
found from Vladivostock TO Libau.

OF the great Russian port that has

The socialist and radical members

Monarchy for 1000 Years.
After the union between Norway and
Sweden had been dissolved in 1875 the
country voted upon the question vt
adopting a mOnarchtcal or a republl-
can form Of government. Norway had
been monarchy for 1000 years and ~
percent Of the people voted TO continue
that system When prince Charles, OF
Denmark, accepted the call Of the ma
ton to become its king most OF the
people shared with him the supposit1on
that he could be assured OF reigning
teed by the constitution.
Very soon, however. the socialist and
radical politicians began to attempt 10
restrict the kings prerogatives- After
they obtained control of parliament IN
1912. several bills were debated and
voted on. but failed to secure the neces-
sary tWO-thirds majority. The king
has the right to bestOw the Royal Or
eigners as a decoration Of honor. and
this has been a personal right Of the
king which did not concern the cabinet
or parliament. Proposals to take away
that right, and to prevent the king
from attending parliament were de-
feated.

to abolish the order OF St Olav. and to
forbid citizens from accepting decora-

would elect his successor This provides
that under such circumstances Iarlia-
ment shall decide whether Norway IS
to continue TO be a monarchy. Another

tuition possible by a majority vote in

Is Personally Liked.
There is no dissatisfaction with king
HaakOn personally in Norway. but the
extreme democrats aim at making the
institution of monarchy useless and
paving the way for a republic. The
members Of the royal family live with
greater simplicity than the heals Of
most republics. The king and Queen
ride in the street cars and on bicycles
about the country roads. and meet the
people on a plane Of equality.

portant works of art. They also urge
against the placing of an export duty
on pictures or a stamp duty on sales,
both Of which have been suggested In
parliament on various occasions.
The chief recommendation in the re-
port Is that the government increase
the ordinary annual parliamentary
grant 10 the National gallery from S25,-
600 to not less than S125, 900. and that
the trustees be allowed TO retain IN their
treasury any unspent balances at the
end Of the year. In addition TO this
sum available for purchases, the trus-
tees should be empowered TO apply to
the government for additional funds
whenever it Is necessary to make a spe-
eial purchase in order to save MASTER
pieces from being lost to the nation.
As an alternative, the committee sug-
gests that tax be placed on the gross
proceeds of sales Of works of art in e1-
cess of a fixed amount, this money to
be added to the grants available for pur-
ehases BY the national museums and gal
leries; also, that the proceeds Of all
Inheritance taxes on works Of art Be
added to the same fund.
