who dared to publish in bis newspaper
in Germany such frank exposure of

He Was a Sportl

That genial and witty soldier, Lord
William Beresford, V. G., was once at
ball in India, says London Tit-Blts.
The evening being sultry the contriver
of the festival had arranged a lot OF
seats In pairs in the adjoining racquet
court, which was pitch dark. During
one of the dance intervals Lord Will
liam took his partner there to talk
politics or what not, and whilst there
she dropped small brooch. Cropping
about In the dark they could not find
1t.
"Light match, will you, Lord Will
liam, and then we can see," said the
lady. "Why not bull's-eye lantern
whilst we are about it? No, no; let's
play fair" Then he stood up, and In
loud voice announced, Ladies and
gentlemen, 1 am about to light
match" And after a tactful pause
he did so.

not analyzed the injustice he might be

love, that had not as yet come into her

"Ah! by the way" she added, as
Ray turned away to depart, "there Is
something I want you to do"
"Yes? he interrogated, with his
usual pleasant smile.
"You remember that calendar pc ster

The War Map.

It has been said that If the war
were settled by peace based on to-
days war map the Germans would
gain immensely. A French authority
takes exception TO this view. He points
out that if Germany were granted the
territory she has seized, she would
hold Belgium, Serbia, Poland the sew
en- northern departments of France
and probably Montenegro--a total
area of 800 400 square kilometers. The
allies on the other hand have taken
from Germany Togoland, Kamerun,
German Southwest Africa, German
East Africa. the Bismarck Archipel-
ago, the Caroline islands, the German
islands of the Samoan group, kiao
Chao, and territory in Galicia, Bu-
kowina and Armenia, total area OF
3,22S,341 square kilometers, or ten
times as much territory as Germany's
seizures amount to- While the French
man is not in favor of any settlement
on the war map basis he holds that
Germany could not afford such set
tlement, because she cannot exist
without colonies.
