CHICAGO, AUGUST 31. The Senate committee investigating expenditure in connection with the Presidential elections has commenced an examitalion of Mr. Wiliam Hays, Chairman of the Republican Committee, who declared that Governor Cor's charges were "false and libellous."

ably there are some" in this country who would like to help. An ̧ admir..... able article appears in a contempor- ary. It gives an Irish point of view. Here it is:

The announcement that Westmins- ter Abbey is in urgent, need of struc- rural repairs is interesting rather than astonishing. As the casket of Bri- tain's greatness and glory the Abbey is the most revered and, precious edi- 6ce of the Empire. Alas! the slow hand of rime recks no of greatness or glory, but falls as inexorably upon

the empires as upon flower that perishes with the setting sun. In the history of the world, even as we know it the life of an empire is but a moment. Yet, though empires crum- the heart of man does not change. ble and their great monuments decay.

Likewise a demand is made as regards the incident on July 16 for the punishment of the commar- der of the Reichwehr company who was reponsible for the hostile mani festation against the French Embassy in Berlin. The French Government points out that unless the German Government formally disavowt respon sibility and energetically punishes, the guilty persons an intolerable situation will arise under which anti-French attacks will recur growing worse daily.

INFERIOR GERMAN GOODS DUMPED-IN AMERICA.

TRADE IMMORALITY.

WASHINGTON," August 31. An official report states that Germany, in an endeavour to regain her foreign trade and realise sums on manufactured goods which otherwise |might remain unsold owing to foreign prejudice, is dumping surplus inferior goods in England and the United States. Exports to England are marked "Made in America" and exports to the United States "Made in England." The report says that such tactics will discredit American manufactures in England and vice versa.

The answer is, of course, that the British do not do things in that way. This appeal to privire effort for what is truly a. national undertaking is, perhaps the surest index to the invincible vigour that has made the Abbey what it is. Individual effort is the keynote to the British character. The people's un- organised efforts have astonished the world again and again; their impro- visations have built up the Empire and confounded every enemy, Britain is the freest country in the world, be use the Briton hates regulations. delights in opportunism, and thrives on unpreparedness.
