l pledge myself to you that it will be strictly confidential. Please send me the March, 1916, examination ques- tions.
 "This examination will be held the March 16 and r. After the exami- nation is over copies of the questions that have been used may be consis- tently mailed out, but surely you do not expect to receive these questions in advance of the legal and authoriz- ed time nor to be a party to an ex- animation fraud. The examination questions are always handled with the utmost care and it is not possible for any teacher to secure an unfair advantage in an examination from this department.
 T wish to assure you that your friendship and good will in the past is highly appreciated, and l sincerely trust that there is some mistake in the assumption that you would, even If you could, secure the same or at tempt to have the advantage of the examinations in advance of the legal time

an underestimate rather than an over

London, July The most detailed
description Of the British system of
blockade which has been framed was
presented to the members of the
American Luncheon club by Sir Frank
Newnes, IN AN address delivered at the
last meeting Of the club. Sir Frank
is the head of great publishing firm
founded by his father He is mem
beer of the Royal volunteer naval re-
serve and is acting as assistant sec
rotary of the committee ON detention
of neutral ships presided over y Lord
Peel.
Sir Frank called attention to the
fact that the blockade was not estah-
Iished until the order of council Of
March H. 1915, was issued, and that
the total stoppage Of Gormany's euor-
nous trade, all done through neHtrals
was q gigantic and difficult business
lie remarked. 1T has been the desire
of the British government i'm carrying
out an effective blockade of Germany
to interfere as little as they possibly
can in the ordinary trade between
ncutrals, and i'm fact they have been
strongly criticised at home as having
considered the interests Of the neu-
trails too much
