England Beat Italy
England beat Italy at Highbury yesterday by three goals to two. Prince Arthur of Connaught watched the play, and both teams were presented to him, L. Monti, the Italian centre half-back, was off the field before the first Eng- lish goal was scored, and so, on paper, it looks as though the Kallans were unfortunate to lose. Actually they were not. In the first 15 minutes England scored three goals, and not only won the match but played such brilliant football that the Italians
were
forced into the parts of mere look- ets-on. The Italians did not mark their men; they did not seem to
have any idea of how an English attack would develop, and the Eng- Hish half-backs and forwards were, allowed to combine with a smooth- ness and subtlety which made a and difficult game look easy.

Judges' Large Fortunes It is not often that a judge lea- ves so substantia? an estate as that of Lord Justice Scrutton-£104,900.
Mr. Justice Grantham left £227,- 676, Judge Bacon £118,000 and Mr. Justice Shearman a little under £100,000.
Half-a-dozen judges who have died in the last thirty years have left between £40,000 and £60.000.
The smallest estate, possibly, was that of Mi. Justice McCardle-55,- 272.
This is due to the fact that the
late treasurer, Mr. Howard Wright. died while holding office.
One of the foreign Ministers in London was heard saying that he owed Mr. Langdon a debt he could never repay. This was Ja'far Pas- ha.
