- [FROM OUR OWN (CRAMPONDENT]
LONDON, January 19th.
LIKE BUOBY FOOTBALL,
Excitement has reigned for more than a week in the shopping centres of Oxford Street, Regent Street, and thereabouts, and along the half-mile of pavement, in Kensington High Street, in all of which places the big drapers have raised the slogan "Bale Now Proceeding." The Fair Sex on these occasiona take posses- sion of the districts--and the shops. The mere male of an inquiring turn who wanders into these regions when the sales sue on may be forgiven if he thinks he haa discovered those two million surplus women mentioned in the last Consuz re- tarbs..
I sometimes, feel sorry for the luckless shop assistants at such times. I hear that at one wall-patronised emporium the rule. is for the staff to stand back when the doors are opened in the morning till the first brush spends itself. At another place the manager confided to an inter- viewer" that he noticed the attention of one woman bargain-hunter concentrated on a fifteen-skilling blouse in the window, and she was so determined to secure it that she walked right into a granite pillar instead of through the doorway, receiving a nasty blow on her nose. No thing daunted, she harried in, holding the injured organ, and gasping: "That blouse is mine? She got it, too!
For weeks the scenes of bustle and eager haste will proceed, and as usual, well-dressed women will push and elbow cach other is a mad scramble to obtain bargains." The drapery sales while they last are undoubtedly one of the sights of London,

When Mr. Asquith was Prime Minister he wrote to the ex-Baronet describing as "base and malignant" the imputations that were then being made against the Speyer brand of loyalty, The Court of Inquiry, however, declare that he seems to have preferred his private financial interests to the prompt discharge of his duty to the State." Those private finar- cial interests were inimical to British interests, it appears, and enabled him to accumulate in neutral.countries large amounts of the currencies of those coun- tries with a view to purchases there."
It would appear that Mr. Asquith, shrewd as he is, was sadly deceived, and many people would like to have his ex planation how the Teutonic, financier hoodwinked him so successfully. IRISH AND THE TREATY

The ratification of the Treaty has occas nioned great satisfaction on this side of the Irish Sea, more particularly in official circles.
The decision means that the work of drafting the Irish Constitution and withdrawing the British troops can now go forward without any further delay.
Mr. Winston Churchill, the Minister responsible in Parliament for Ireland, has been busy this week on details for the withdrawal of the Army, but it is under- stood that as soon as some of the regi of good faith has been given by this act ments have left the country and proof the evacuation will take place leisurely.
