It is sad to have to add the name of
Cecil Chesterton to that lost literary
legion which the war has claimed
leaving good literature and good jour
nalism the poorer.
Nevertt eless, it is a glorious COM
pany. a full hundred at the least, that
our comrade has joined, and one of his
friends well named it the Brigade Of
Undying Splendor." The first literary
mar Of the +. z. F. killed in the war
was Captain r. S. Fletcher. the author
of 'Hausa Sayings and Folk Lore. "
who fell in December, 1914. Let us
hope that with Chestertons name the
literary roll of honor is complete.
At IS, Mr.. Lloyd George is about the
average age for premier to make his
first appeal to the country. Mr.. AS
quith was three years older when, in
1919, he led the liberal party to vic
Nv, of1
in 1906.
Mr. BaIfour never appealed to the
country as prime minister, but he
was leader of the house of commons

It is interesting TO hear that the
origin Of the Coburg loaf was the
marriage of Queen Victoria and that
| its earlier name was Coronation, but
| is it not possible that it might be set
| back little further still to the mar
riage of a Prince of Coburg-Leopold
afterwards King of the Be1gians, with

Coburg after the marriage of Victoria
| it was in honor of Albert of Coburg

christen it Albert in honor of another

The arguments Of Professor Kehl
published in the National Zeitung
| CBerlin), on the question of the extra
| dition and trial of the ex-kaiser are
now available in more detailed form.
| He says the claim for extraditior
cannot be substantiated. The German
law does not permit Of the extraditior
of any German. If another state
should claim from Holland the ex.
kaiser's extradition, the Dutch govern
ment would have to ask the assent o.
Germany, and that cannot be given
Germa7y's agreements on this question

deemed advisable to make him a vir

IF Germany assents to the extradi

ordinary punishment. however, tn
