CLEANED FROM FOREIGN EXCHANGES

nhase of the French Revolution re- )eated, The French revolutienaries ought to promote political upheavals all lands. They declared themselves
 eady to help any people Disposed to republican institutions. They vowed vengeance upon any people who ad- hered to the old forms of government But it was an Austro- -Prussian army with an Austro- -Prussian purpose that set France and the world on fire.
 Three ships which took the party of repatriated English home last week returned yesterday with the first ex- changed contingent of Germans. The Zealand brought 1s9 including the faa nous Captain von Mueller. of Emden fame, and also the son of Admiral Tir- pitaz. On board, too, were the com- mandant of the Bleucher, men from the Mainz and from the Falkland Is- lands battle and five U-boat captains. The Koningin Regentes. had similar number, and the Sindoro carried 449, those on board speaking with adnira ton Of the feat performed on the other side, when they were all put aboard inside, two hours.
 The Prince Consort also visited the ships. Speaking with Dutch Journal | ists, the Germans though some com plained of the cold and of the barracks where they had lived, expressed con- tentment with their treatment in Eng
 land. They certainly all looked ex. ceedingly well. Tho U-boat officers de.
 clared that they always felt it very | much when they had to sink ships, bu i ''war is war."-London Chronicle. |
 The little dim light gIowed on tn steel helmets of the Gordons and mad fantastic shadows on the walls as tn pipers marched up and down, an,
 shown in the eyes of the officers ant
 men as they slipped hot rum punch an,
 felt it's warmth in their hearts Tn comedy nose of Honest John, with hi
 no-trump face, as the colonel calle lit, glowed with human love for hi fellow creatures.
 Four officers who had fought througl the Son1rne together-alas! thare ar
 only four now of those who held tn lines at Martinpuich-raised thei Iglasses to each other and toasted tn
 colonel, who thinks of them from afal
 waiting for a wound to heal in hi
 lung, and yearning to come out agai
 because though he hates, war he love
 his battalion. He is the Georgia
 gentleman who has appeared as a he
 roic figure in some of my sketches, an
 one day he will reappear and t1
 pipes will play him back with tn
 march tune of his own clan.
 Up in the line there was a pint (
