 Without doubt here is a royal in stance of the prenomenon so often seen in humber circles-a gentleman. consolng himself with the younger sister when the elder will have none of him. For ever since the German army took forcible possession of LuX- emburg, on August ?, 1914, German intrigue has been doing it's best to get the young Grand Duchess Marie Ade- aide to accept a German husband and facilitate the inclusion of her realm in the German empire. So far Ade- laide has held out, but she has five sisters and AntOinette the third of them, has apparently been picked out as the sacrifice. For without doubt German royalties were becoming in- sistent; even in Germany it begins to be apparent that the good German sword cannot do all the work at thG peace conference, and that it is high ly advisable to get up some sort of title to the neighbOring countries whose inclusion within the German sphere of influence is still hoped for. German kings are being picked for Lithuania and Finland, and if good German bridegroom could be admit ted to share of the throne of Lux cmburg he might be used as a coun~ ter-weight to the desires of its people who want the war to restore their in- dependence.

ANOTHER SUBMARINE ATTACK.

While the thought that an enemy submarine dared to attack a conveyed transport carrying troops gives rise to grave thoughts, there is great satis faction to be derived from the fact that no casualties resulted from the explosion caused by the Hun torpedo, and that the transport itself did not sink, but could be beached on the English coast.
 So far as is known, this is the first time that an American transport has been attacked enroute to Europe. A later despatch from London to Wash ington reports that an attack was made on an English transport carry ing American troops last Sunday. This Is taken to mean that two attacks were made recently, as the first cable

The spec tacle of magnates and players wrang- ling over the division of spells from non- essential sports is enough to dis gust even the most enthusiastic fol- lower of the game.
