HAVÁS REVIEW.

PARIS, November, 27.

M. Clemenceau has sent a letter to Herr Leraner, the German delegate, stating that France owes to Germany nothing except the strict execution of the Treaty which ended a merciless war.

According to German papers Herr Simson is not due in Paris again and Hers Leraner will act as Chief German Delegate, to sign the peace protocol at the earliest moment.

An international Chamber of Commerce has been created by Allied Economic Missions now in the United States. The first meeting will take place in July 20, 1923. The Municipal Counell of Paris urges the Frenct Government to create in Paris a world market for sale and purchase patterned on the similar world market, existing in New York.

M. Sarraut, the Governor General of Indo-China will resign. After the King of Roumania proclaiming indissoluble union with the Entente there is no doubt that Roumania is ready to sign the peace with Austria and Bulgaria.

The Chamber of Commerce of Paris has expressed the wish that the French Government should organize a central office of verification and compensation, with its duty to realize officially all payments of debts owed by Germans to French. The formation of an International Confederation of Students' Associations, with Headquarters at Brussels, has been decided upon by a congress of students held at Strasbourg. Germans will not be admitted before they have become members of the League of Nations.

Mr. Ralph Nevill in his Echoes, Old and New, just published, reminds us that when the South Eastern Railway built its hotel at Charing Cross only half a century ago a proposal for a second large hotel elsewhere in the Metropolis was vetoed because "London could not support two such!" Before the establishment of the Metropolitan Police, in 1829, London was pariously protected. The City then really inhabited by night was provided with a Watch. Some fifty paid police, supplemented at night by eighty con- stables chosen from its tradesmen, minimised a little the insecurity of Westminster. Ninety men safeguard- ed life and property on the Thames. In the remainder of the Metropolitan area there was a decrepit paid Watch, whom citizens, sitting up in turn in the Portugal street Watch house, assisted. The general charge of the entire Metropolitan district lay with the Bow street Office, earlier the historic "Bow street Runners," or the "Robin Redbreasts," as they were called from their red waistcoats.
