It is authoritatively declared that the British Government will not tolerate a restoration of the monarchy which, besides internal complications, would provoke a conflict in Central Europe, as the restored monarchy would pursue a policy of annexation, aviking the concerted opposition of the adjoining states.

Budapest telegrams are reassuring it is recalled that the Regent Horthy recently spoke to a French interviewer in favour of restoration.

CHINA TAMINER..

REMEDIES PROPOSED...

LONDON, March 30.

Writing in the Ariatic Review, J. P. Donovan, the honorary secretary of the China Famine Relief Fund, suggests reforms with a view to lessening | if not preventing such loss of life as has resulted from the present great famine in China. He urges the multiplication, and government support of, institutions such as the college of agriculture and forestry connected with the university of Nanking. He points out that planting trees in the northern provinces of China would not only improve the rainfall but in time the forests would become a source of revenue to the State and a means of productive income for the people. He also hopes that under the Republic the leaders of the Chinese people will make an effort to abolish [“the fundamental errors of the social system which make famine absolutely inevitable, namely, polygamy, the marriage of minors, and the excessive birthrate."

FRESH GERMAN PROTEST.

LONDON, March 30.

According to the Petit Parisien, Germany has sent the League of Nations a new note protesting against the Allied penalties. It alleges that the Allies have extended their occupation to include, inter alia, the stations of Mulheim, Speldorf, and Oberhausen, and that they apparently contem plate a further extension. It protests that this is contrary to right and justice and requests that the procedure with regard to conciliation provided by articles 12 to 17 in the covenant of the League should be extended to the new measures of the Allies..

In returning thanks for volumes of birthday letters 'collected for him by "The Upright-Man," the the super-Monarchists, ex-Kaiser signs himself Wilhelm, LR," and appends as a postscript a well-known quotation from Schiller, which was taken by Treitschke as a motto for his "History of the German War' of Liberation in the Years 1813 and 1814," namely, "Worthless is the nation which does not gladly sacri- fice everything for its honour." To a letter of thanks to the president of the "League of the Upright," the ex Kaiser adds the motto of that body, which is "Nevertheless." A letter from one of the ex-Kaiser's attend- ans which is also printed in the Press is sent "by order of the All- Highest."

Another fallen monarch who is venturing back into publicity is the ex- King of Saxony, who bas protested to the present Government of that State against the sale of certain pictures and porcelain in what used to be the Royal collections, and against the purchase of other artistic objects with the proceeds.
