THE GAMBLING SPIRIT.

The police at the Bay View Police Station are being much troubled by gamblers. When one of a school was charged with gambling before Mr. Wood, Sergt. Grimmett said that the police were having quite exciting times in chasing gamblers, who had now become so bold that they indulged in card games for money in the very shadow of the Police Station,

Mr. Wood fined the gamblers $3.

The criticism which Mr. CHURCHILL levels against those who disapprove of the policy which has been followed in regard to the Balkans is that they are too prone to follow slavishly the teachings of mili- tary text-books, and that, as a conse quence, their ideas have a tendency to become stereotyped.
