Within the limits of time available, it is impossible to do more than give some impression of the general effect of the address. As to the occasion the speaker said:At this moment it is opportune for the Straits Chinese to make it clear ones for all that, as a community, though they are not ashamed of their Chinese descent, they hold ethical and social prin- ciples which clearly distinguish the duties due to the family, to the State, to Lununity and to civilization; and thus the Straits Chinese, while not forgetting the affinity of race or religion with their cousins of the Chunghua Republic, have become a thoroughly loyal and happy. community owing allegiance to the King.. of England, and desiring nothing better than to Ave in and die for the hand oft their birth The Straits have been their

JAPANESE STATESMAN'S SECRET MEMOIRS.

The Secret Memoirs of Count Tudusu Hayashi, G.C.F.O. Edited by A. M. Pooley, London: Eveleigh Nash. Born at Yedo in 1850, Hayashi Tadnsu, the son of the physician to the Shogun, rose to the high position of Ambassador. and then Foreign Minister, and up to the day of his death in 1013 he exercised a considerable amount of influence upon the relations of Japan and the Foreign Powers. How far his influence was beneficial or otherwise for his native land is matter of controversy, which shall not be discussed here; but he will always be remembered as the skilful negotiator of the Treaty of Alliance signed by the representatives of Great Britain and Japan on January 30, 1902.

LOST GERMAN DESTROYER,

SHORE UATTERIES PREVENT RESCUE OF CREW,

Particulars received from Dunkirk re garding the sinking of the German tor pedo-bost off Nieuport show that the German vessel was attacked by a French torpedo-boat, destroyer, which first fired at it and then successfully torpedoed it,

As he had to deal with a more powerful ship than his own, the commander of the French torpedo-boat destroyer sent a wireless call for assistance to a torpedo bout some distance away, but this ship only arrived in time to see the German destroyer disappear.

The French sailors began the work of rescuing the German sailors, but wer unable to pick them up because the hostile artillery near Ostend, of which the con cluding stages of the fight took place owing to the German boat having sought safety in fight when struck by the first shells, fired on them, thus compelling them to leave the crew of tho destroyer, estimated at about 200, to their fate.

In reference to the character of the British Empire and its relations to the many peoples gathered under the wings of its protection the speaker spoke thus-The British Empire succeeds because it exists for the good of its myriad peoples, and because it relies upon moral suasion and upon righteousness to secure the good-will and the love of all races, creeds and tongues. The wisdom and the justice of the pioneers of British colonization are more than justified by such as is rending Europe at the present the splendid results, moral and material, time, we are of opinion that generally to be seen everywhere, but nowwliere more speaking, it is undesirable to throw open the diplomatic chamber and to evident than in the Malay Peninsula. the doors In a word the British Empire is the very admit the public, at any rate until long antipodes of the Pan-Germanic world after the principal characters have cross with its barbarian kultur and its worshiped to the bourne whenco no traveller re of might Civilisation eckhardi and by name to our readers, He contributes their followers have egregiously made the four introductory chapters, and explains foundation of their doctrine of war and that the Memoirs were written during 1902, of despotisin.

Mr. Pooley explains how the Jiji Shimpo began on July 29, 1913, a series of articles entitled "History of the Anglo Japanese Alliance, announcing that they were dictated by Count Hayashi; how the Japanese authorities stepped in to prevent their publication; and how they endeavoured to prevent any translation of then being sont abroad, either by telegrams or letters. le also explains how the manuscripts came into his possession and were sent out of the country by him; and having been approached by a member of the Hayashi family to suppress publication he publishes, a letter sent by him to Baron Makino, the Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs, to clear the family of any complicity. In this letter, he mys "The manuscript from which I have had the advantage of work-Thursday, September 30th: ing is one which they (the family and the stull of the Fiji Shimpo) knew nothing, and vi tho existunto of which they were totally unaware.

The gradual rise of the German Empire as a military power and, with that, its pretensions to military domination over les military or weaker neighbours was a section of the hon. gentleman's subject that was treated in a telling way. The arrogance of the claims to power of the expense of the rest of humanity and the moral hollowness of these claims was well brought out in this passage:The Ger- mans are wrong. Their interpretation of nature and of haluan nature is grity ously at fault. In forsaking the guid ance of Kant, Fichte, and Hegel, ned substituting therefor the will-o'-the
