The Queue Question.. The queue, will doab less dis appear in China as completely as the ancient topknot has dis appeared in England and, more recently, in Japan, but it will go quicker by gentle persuasion thon by fores. It is the most illiterate ant superstitious that eling most tenaciously to the custom, but with the leading morohants in all, parts of Ohina following the fashion set by the new officials it is bound to make an impression on the lower classes. We observe, for instance, that in the province of Honan the merchants have formed an association to organise public lectures and to publish free. papers on the advantages to be lorived from outting off the queue; in the large cities barber's shops are being opened where u free hair-cut is offered to any who dosire to part with their queue. The soldiers of the province dre setting an example to people of their class. It was not to be sup posed that the people throughout Uhins would part with their quanes with the same suddenneas as they have dispensed, with the rulers who set the fashion of wearing them; but there can be no doubt that the now fashion eot by the Reformers in the Treaty porta and in the Yamens of every administrative area in China will in duo time become inc. easingly popular, and, except in the re- motest and least enlight ned parts of the country, the next genera tion of Chinese will be a queue- less race.

The Ordeal of War.
The Bulgarian calculation is. that they can drive the Turks out of the Adrianople. vilayet without inuch difficulty, and be
within striking distance of Con-
stantinople in n few weeks. On
er hand, it must be re- merabered that time is not on tho side of the allies, If the Turks are not hopelessly beaten at the start they have larger resources to draw upon than their opponents. On paper they can mobilise nearly a million men, and though a large part of this force is very unreliable it would still be food for powder, and would help to supply the wastage of war, which must be heavy enough if there is to be a winter campaign in the Balkans. But the allies reckon aleo on the political and economic disorganisation of an antagonist which has already bne war, if not two, on hand, and think that the whole fabric of Turkish govern- ment will fall to pieces from internal dissension if a few deter mined blows are delivered. So they have forced the fighting from the beginning, and hope to shake the Ottoman power to pieces
