LANDSEIDE IN FAVOUR OF REPUBLICA

PORTLAND, MAINE, September Polling in the Maine elections for the State Governorship and other offices is now going on. The latest returns show that all the Republican candidates for Congress will probably be elected by overwhelming majorities and that the State legislature will also be strongly Republican Women' everywhere have availed themselves of the vote, mainly for the Republican candidates.. The interest of America in these elections is due to a tradition that the palling in Maine is usually indicative of the feeling of the whole DECISIVE VICTORY.

COLONIAL MEDICAL SERVICES.

HOW CANDIDATES SHOULD BE SELECTED.

MINIMUM SALARY £600.

LONDON, September 14. The report of the committee of inquiry into the Colonial medical services recommends a unified service and the appointment of a director general, also that candidates ought to be young and newly qualified men and should have been seconded to some hospital appointment at home as resident medical officers. Candidates should be selected by a competitive examination which might be a general examination for all the public services, but candidates should be approved as well as examined. The minimum pay should be £600 a year.

INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE.

SCHEME TO ESTABLISH PERMANENT COURT.

DRAFT FUBLISHED.

LONDON, September, 14.

The draft scheme for the institution of a permanent court of inter- national justice has been published by the League of Nations. The scheme, which appears as a special supplement of the League's official journal, is published in two languages, namely French and English. It consists of 56 articles. It has been prepared by an international committee of jurists and was submitted to the Council of the League at San Sebastian, which decided to ask M. Bourgeois to prepare a report for submission to the Council's session at Brussels in October.

The Council will then take a definite decision which in turn will be submitted to the first meeting of the Assembly at Geneva in November. In a letter communicating to the Governments of the members of the League of Nations the scheme prepared by the international committee of jurists, the Council of the League emphasises that all the members of the committee have signed the report. The coupeil strongly urges its ratification, declaring that failure would be an irreparable international. misfortune.

SELECTION OF JUDGES.

The draft scheme provides that the judges of the court shall be elected "by the assembly of the League independently from the list of candidates which will be prepared from 44 rational groups of the premament court of arbitration instituted at The Hague by the conventions of 1899 and 1907, Each group consisting of two candidates. The court will be composed of 15 members elected for nine years. A concession is, however, made to natiopal susceptibilities by an article giving each party to the dispute the right to have among the judges dealing with a case one judge of his oRD nationality chosen preferábly from the list of candidates.

It is a common mistake to assuine ther only the best English music hay come down to us through the ages. Dr. Terry-said to a representative of the Daily Chronicle. "The truth is exactly opposite..

Purcell, for instance, is generally. quoted as the greatest English.com- poser, but I believe William Byrd, whose MSS. are to be published for the first time under the Carnegie scheme, to be greater. The next generation will probably regard him with the veneration given to Shakes-

peare.

In my opinion Byrd is as great in music as is Shakespeare in Interature. Byrd wrote three masses. a large mumber of motets, and mach secular vocal and instra- mental music, and in the cathedral we have given all his masses, and his entire Gradualia, and Cantiones Sacrae. The publication of his com plete works in score will now enable musicians all over the world to judge: of the quality of his genius.",

Dr. Terry went on to explain the difficulties, which confronted his col- leagues and himself in preparing these old MSS. for publication.

They are written in a rotation now obsolete, and therefore (save in late Tudor work) quite, unintelligible to the musician of to-day," he said. "The only ireatises of this notation are in Latin and in German, which precludes the musician from scquiring- its techïque unless he is acquainted with these languages. But one of the most serious handicaps, is the missing:
