LONDON. September 20th The Morning Post says much satisfac tion is felt in British circles at Japan's Intest o Chi: a concerning Shantung. hough it is hoped that Japan may go a little farther in the way of concessions, 1egarding such matters as railways.

RAM AND SIMPLE LIFERS.
REBUKE TO PARTY OF FREAK GERMAN TOURISTS.
navement
The extraordinary among the so-called "friends of nature" in Germany for taking of the clothes in public may be checked by a sharp lesson which a party of these people received in the Bavarian Highlands from a shepherd-boy.
Three raen and three women tou- rists, after picnicking near an Alpine hut, proceeded to undress and walk about naked. The woman who kept the hat was indignant, but the shepherd-boy told her not to fret as he would give the party something to remember him by. He vanished and an olt presently appeared with bell-wether which, in bis leisure hours, he had taught to batt the firt-comer at the wordBoch!" as might be expected of a patriotic German am.
Releasing the bell-wether the boy rried Foch Foch!" whereupon the ram, ah horns well down, ruthed at the "friends; of nature." butting furiously.
The party, with divers bruises. dispersed in panic and eventually took refuge in the river, where they remained until the shepherd called the ram off. -
LEARNING ENGLISH.
PHONETIC STRUGGLES OF 120 FOREIGNERS.
One hundred and twenty foreigners struggled with the phonetic intricacies of the English language at University College under the thirection of Mr. Daniel Jones, professor of phonetics at the college. They come from every country in Europe, from Iceland to Serbia, from Spain to Czecho-Slovakia and Lithuania, the French, Swiss, and Italian contingents, being the st
numerous.
Asia, curiously enough, was repre sented only by Japan and Chins, whe had 13 students between them. O all the nationalities present, Japanese found the greatest difficulty in pro- nouncing English, the Datch and Swedes the least. It is an interesting fact that the Japanese have much more difficulty in mastering our lan guage than the Chinese. The lectures Last exactly a fortnight and occupy the whole morning on six days a week.
The students were split up into classes of five, so that each nationality could have special attention to its own peculiar difficulties. Each man Was armed with a small mitter and a tongue guide, the former to enable him to see what his mouth was doing, the latter, which is like a small bone paper-knife, to force his tongue to Assume the correct positi-n.
The teacher began by making a sound. Each student watched the movements of his lips and tongue. looked into the mirror. and tied diligently if somewhat ineffectively to do likewise, occasionally prodding his tongas into place with his tongue. guide.
