"No diplomacy," says Mr. BALFOUR, "would have availed against the con viction that in backing the Austro- Germans they were backing the winning horse but later they will discover their mistake." Already they have suffered heavily for their hardihood, their losses in the attacks on Kralievo alone being returned by the Serbians at 30,000 mon.' It cannot be denied, however, that they have made good use of the time that was bound to clapse before Great Britain and France could send an adequate force to the aid of the Serbians, Attacking simultaneously, from several points on the north, east, and west, they have already seized possession of the major portion of the territory which we knew as Serbia before the readjustments that followed the Balkan Wars, and, as a consequence, the

THE ECARCITY OF BEEF. Blame rests on somebody for allowing the beef to be appropriated that arrives beef is supplied by one stall only, and by the steamers from Hongkong. Our the owner of this pays a certain sum of money yearly to the Senado in order that he may enjoy the monopoly. As a consequence the ordinary members of the public are not able to get what cats they like but have to be content with what they can get. Very often the cooks return home without any meat at all.' It is, indeed, much easier for many to get their beef supply in Hongkong. primo ports are, apparently, reserved for people of influence.
