GENERAL NEWS,
Rough on the Mongols, » Profesor L W. Lyde, at the Society of Arts, Londos, said that Germany was not Enropean st all, The Crown Prinos had en oblique Mongol sye, and it was always a puzzle to him why the Orown Prince should wear auch a monatache, which called stien- tion to it. It showed what stupid people the Germisna were.
"A Deadly Polson.”
An ingenious statistician has calculated that "in spite of the urgent appeals to our patriotism, insistens demands not to eat too many potatoer, or too much WeAr old sugar, requests to
clothes, dc, the people of the British Isles spent during 1918 the enormous eam of £84,830,000 overs wed which contains one of the most deadly poisons in- existence, is not a food, is dan- gerous as a medicine, injuriously affects the heart, weakens the nerves, dalle the hearing, des troys the eyesight, injures the lunge, brings on consumption, and is doing enörmous injury ail round."
Through Sweden. "According to statistics com- piled by the Swedish poetal authorities, daring the years 1915 and' 1918 5,800,000 parools were forwarded through Sweden from Basis to Germany for prisoners, whereas the number dispatched from Germany to Basis through Sweden was only 500,000; and while 1,554,000 money orders, worth nearly £1.250,000 were sent from Russia to Germany, the number sent from Germany to „Russia and Japan was only 184, 000, worth about $100,000. It is estimated that Sweden has ex- perded £300,000 on this work and on carriage to prisoners of presenta, the latter. being trad eported by the Swedish railways free of charge.
New Japanese Mea-of-War. The collection of materials fr building the battleship Nagato (32,000 tons displacement) at the Kare Arsenal, and the fast batile craisers Tebrya an' Tatents (each 37,000 tone) at Yokoenks and Sasebo baving been completed, the formal order to start work will be issued in a few days. The first class torpedo destroyers." Am strukaze, Tokitsukeza, Leokaze and Hamakaze and the second class destroyers Momo, Tregi, Kashi and Hinoki, built at Kare, Sasého,
Naval and Maizura Arsen-ls and the Kawaski sad Missa Biahi Dookyarde, on the lines approved at the last but one mersion of the Diet, have been completed and are now duly! attached to the Torpedo Flotilla -Kobe Herald.
Indian Defence. The numerical strength of the ma Defence Force is not yet ascertainable, but it is quite possible, says the Pioner, that it may not prove quite so great as waroriginally estimated owing to the presence on the volunteer rolla of a number of members whose material ardour was more marked then their physical- capacity. There is, however, every reason to believe that when the period of training has been completed Indis will possess a valuable body of citizsa soldiera. Drilling is now in full swing in many districts and the cheerful- ness with which men of all classes have responded to the call of duty: is. "most admirable. Ta Simla parades are taking place on the the Ridge near the Chaich, where Secretariat officials receive instructions in the art of forming fours and are lectored on the in- portance of regular and thorough ablutions and the military objec- tions to flowing locks.
