How widespread is the devastation, and how disastrous its effects must be, is well shown in Messrs. Gilbey's instructive survey. It is, as they say, idle to consider the quality of the vintage of 1910 in the northern parts" of Europe, for oven its quantity is so insignificant as to be almost | negligible. In Germany, along the Rhine and Moscile, there will barely be one-tenth of an average crop. In the Champagne and Sanmur districts and in the Burgundy and Chablis districts there has bean no vintage at all. As regards champagne in parti, cular, this statement has already been corroborated by Mr Charles Heidsieck, of Khoŝms, who in a letter which we printed - on October 20 explained that he could not send us this year his customary report on the Champagne vintage Lecause no vintage had taken place.
