FRANK CONVERSATION ON GERMANY.
"UNBEARABLE FRONTIERS."
Signor Mussollal, in the course of a conversation with the Rome cor respondent of the Berlin Conserva tive newspaper "Der Tag," has given this journalist the impression that he is still hankering after the formation of a German-Italian bloc The with an anti-French blas. journalist declares that Signor Mussolini said a number of things which he cannot publish, so brutal ly frank wore they and so far re- moved from the realm of senti montal dreams in which German politicians move. But even tho publishable part of the converan- tion he described as overpowering- ly dramatic.
The question he put to Signor Mussolini was:-Why should not Italy follow the same polley to wards Germany as towards Hun- gary? And Signor, Mussolini anawered that the reason was to be found in Germany alone. If Ger- many would only stop thinking in terms of sentiment about 200,000| inhabitants of the South Tyrol, who for that matter could have any thing they wanted if only they would show themselves loyal Italian subjects, then every barrier be- tween Italy and Germany, would be swept away. "Bismarck," said Signor Mussolini, "would never have based his policy on sent ment."

It asks, "If he thought thereby to change the general Gorman opinión regarding the Fascist oppressivo policy, ho was greatly mistaken. He cannot escape the memory of what has actually been done in South Tyrol or of his last threatening speech. Only a few Nationalists can be blinded to hard facts by their on thusiasm for a dictatorship.

CHELSEA'S SHOW,'
Although Chelsea had the chilly dreariness of a winter's day, the King and Queen thoroughly enjoy- ed themselves amid the marvellous colours and exotic blooms, at the private view of the Royal Horticul- tural Society's spring show at the Royal Hospital gardens, Chelsea, which was open to the public in mail week.
There are not more than half a dozen of them in Europe, and Mr. Wilson explained to the King how, when the bae alights on one of the petals of the flower, it is thrown into a cup-like receptacle, thus get- ting a bath of honey.

The Poles of Upper Silesia are unaffected, for their status is already determined by International engagements, but the Poles of Western Prussia and also the numerous Poles of the Rhur die trict will benefit by this Initiative. The basic principle of the Charter is its recognition that it lies within the citizen's own choice to deter mine whether or not he belongs to the National Minority. The author ties have nothing to aay in this matter. This principle is in ac- cord wth a recent judgment of the Hague Court in regard to a Polish claim that the individual member ship of the Minority should be sub- jest to examination and confirma- tion by the authorities.
The King was also amused by the Baby-in-the-Cradle orchid, a yellow flower shaped like a cradle with a piece inside like a baby, which rocks to and fro on a hinge when the wind blows.
"Rhododendrons are very beauti- ful when exhibited," said the King later, "but when they are growing wild they are a nuisance. At Sandringham they are all over the woods, and you cannot get rid of them. You cannot burn them and they choke any wood."
The King, who was wearing a carnation in his buttonhole, admir- ed some calceolarias, and said that. he liked old-fashioned flowers.
Yet Signor Mussolini, according to the journalist, has a better ap preciation of German national sentiment than the timid polith cians of Berlin. He declared that for him such frontlers as the There is, of course, far more in- present German frontier would be ducement for a Polish-speaking absolutely unbearable, just as Hun- parent to opt for a German school garian frontiers аге unbearable. ing for his child than for a German The heart of Fascist Italy goes out to prefer no instruction, owing to to the gallant Hungarians who still the superior efficiency, of German HUSBANDS FOR ALL. flare up against their fate.

Sir Ernest (to the women): If you do not wish to do your duty as

A woman Juror: We all do. Sir Ernest: Is it the opinion of all you three that you do not wish to serve on the jury because this is a case of alleged Indecency with regard to children? Yes..
Sir Ernest: Very well, then, you shall be released, but I think your decision is very deplorable.
