The debate on the League of Ma
tions between Senator Lodge and
President Lowell of Harvard has at.
tracted world wide attention. The
speakers were well matched, the
audience was an inspiring one, and
the arguments were representative
of the two views held by the OPP
posing speakers. In general il may
be said they were not so far apart
in their position as at first seemed.

The policy of President Carranza
in Mexico seems hard to understand.
A renewal of the decree placing a
heavy tax on oil production seems
to be aimed at the foreign produc-
ers. The alienation of England and
the United States at this time would
make il hard for Mexico to get that
recognition among the nations Of the
world which il would seem her in
terests would demand. Some Justice,
however. is to be found in the OPP
nosition TO a dominating foreign in
fluence in Mexico.

There seems to be growing oppo-
sition in the Peace Congress at
Paris to the union of Austria with
Germany. Such a union would Ger
tainly make of Germany a much
stronger state but il would be in
accordance with the principle OF
nationality as there is not a great
difference between Germans and
Austrians. The conquests of Italy,
moreover. have interfered with the

in the Temple across the Bay. It
seemed that Bennie. playing with some
other children in the park, left them

cover over on himself and while hiding
there the coolies had picked him up
and carried him along. Noticing the
difference in weight they had put the
box down at the corner OF the street

OF course large reward was imme-

Lady Evington at the Goodwin resi-

thy and promising eN cry assistance on
the part of the authorities, headed the
subscription list with very handsome
sum, which was multiplied great
many times by the amounts offered by
the various societies and organizations
IN the Colony. 1t was remarkable to
see how the tragic event drew out the
sympathy Of the entire populace, with
out any distinction of race. creed or
nationality. The Consuls of all the
different countries, officers of the Gar
rison and of the naval and mercantile
marine, the Bishop and all the various
missionaries, the heads Of the Mohafn-

touch of nature that makes the whole

sympathy and assurances Of help none
surpassed the Chinese themselves. The
Consul came in person with all his staff,

the various guilds and firms and lead
