EARLIER TELEGRAMS.
THE BALTIC PROVINCES.
Paris; Oct. 26.
Sir Eyre Crowe has commuzicated to the Supreme Council a telegram from the British representative at Riga reporting intensified German attacks, urging Allied occupation of Tilsit and Memel and adding that General Eberhardt is ever. harder to deal with than Von der Goltz. M. Pichon said the departure of an Inter Allied Commis- aion to superintend the evacuation of the Germans from the Baltic Provinces, which is still in Paris, will be hastened, and as General Mangin did not wish to go General Niessel will probably replace him.
Copenhagen, Oct. 25.
The Lettish Government has returned to Riga where all shops are open and life is normal despite the German bombardment.

SOME PLAIN COMMENT.
In commenting on the death of the late Mr. Andrew Carnegie, tle Saturday Review says
Can anybody say what good Andrew Carnegie did on earth with the seventy or eighty millions which the piston of his amalgamating genius sucked into his resevoir? He built a Hall of Peace, which was hardly finished when the most sanguinary war in history desolated the world. He scattered libraries up and down the country, which are empty save for a few novel read- ing idlers. Like all mon, Carnegic coveted what h hadn't got. Being quite unducated, he set a super- stitious value on book learning. Had he read a little history, or a faw biographies of celebrated men, he would have known that of the men who come to the top nine out of ten are bookless, and owe their success, to character, good
or tai.

Perhaps the few thousands & year which Carnegie left legacies were the best use he made of his gigantic pile. Lord Morley, in the course of nature, cannot enjoy his annuity for very many years, but we hope the gift may make them more agreeable than they would otherwise have been.
To Mr. John Burns the £1.000 a year will undoubtedly be welcome. and by his sturdy, outspoken commonsense, by his independence of party, and by his wonderful gift of language, he has proved himself & worthy recipient, though at the beginning of his career he may have indulg ed in some play acting, as all demagogues are bound to do. We ara very glad that Mr. Lloyd George has got an annuity of £2,000 a year, because it will make him less dependent on the voice of the beast with many tongues. The -Prime Minister, who in his boyhood ran b refooted about his village, has in the last ten years become st tached to the apolaustic life of the upper classes. In order to keep himself in that luxurious world, he must buy the votes of the masses with the money of the up- per and middle classes.
Carnegie's annuity ought to put courage into the Prime Minister's A heart, and induce him to throw in bis lot with those who are strug- gling to save their savings. ori what is left of them, from the maw of democracy. Great states- nan are lucky in the matter of legacies; their careers attract the sympathy of richnen and women. The luckiest, perhaps. was the elder Pitt. When he was a free

GENERAL NEWS.
GERMAN COMMENT ON LORD BERESFORD.
Berlin, Sept. 8.-The German papers, commenting on Lord Beresford's death, emphasize his services in popularizing the British Navy. They declare that he will live in German remem- brance as one of Germany's most inexorable enemies. The Vossische says:" He always energetically advocated his country's greatness and the aupremacy of the British Fleet. He was an Englishman. The German Fleet, to-day shattered, cannot, however, refuse it's respect for a dead adversary."
£400 PROFITEERING FINE. Fines of £400, with ten guineas costs, for selling hams at a price exceeding the maximum laid down by the Food Controller, were imposed at Tower Bridge, recently on Mr. J. Dottridge, senior partner of the firm of provision merchants trading at Duko-street, London Bridge. There were five summonses, three relating to sales to Beer and Sons, Ltd., of King street, West Smithfield. Mr. Hornby, pro- secuting said the hams were sold at 28. 614d. a pound. The proper price was about 1s. 9d. On the five transactions £188 in excess was charged. Mr. Chai tham, for the defence, said the hams, which were English, could not be produced at the Food Ministry's prica. The magistrate said it was a flagrant case of absolute defiance of the Food Controller.
