LONDON, September 14th, GOING BACK TO SCHOOL.

This week the London railway termini have been crowded with boys going back to the public schools. Some are cheerful and gay, bat most of them, schoolboy-like, look glam with lessons and duty before them and the good time of the happ holidays behind. But they are all start in their new clothes, presenting collectively

Now that the oppressor" has giren more than Home Rulers asked for | Mr. Ginhell is still turbulent in the house of his friends. It seems to suggest that a great deal of the age-long fulminations against England were a mask for personal spleen and self-will- THOSE REFALATIONS!

Reparations" is the most over-worked word in the language in these days. How much can Germany pay?" is varied by the other form of the phrase," How much can Germany be made to pay?" There are not many who want to let Germany down light-

Of course, allowance must be made for the feverish excitement that prevailed when these promises (and others) were made, and the vows were doubtless sin cerely and honestly meant at the time. But public opinion in regued to such things has changed, and reason tempered by a knowledge of facts has replaced the TIENTSIN visionary hope of getting back from Germany the total costs of the war. IF BANGKOK the Peace Trehty had been drawn up differently-if national expectations all- round had not been raised so high as to what could be got from our chief foes Allied statesnien would not find themselves faced with their present difficulties.

But fur more serious for parents and guardians than the cost of fitting out a boy for the big schools is the level at which stand the fees. In most of the famous schools these rose with the increased cost of living and better pay for masters, and they still stand at the top figure although living costs less. The fees at Eton baye appro ximately risen from £145 a 1914 to 30 this year, at Harrow from £150 to £216, at Clifton from £110 to £147, and at

■ Marlborough from £85. to £145. Pre- paratory school fees have gone up, ala, and to sa oven greater extent in proportion. The problem of educating boys (and girls, tou) is a very serious one for vast number of people of the professional classes, and in an equal, or only slightly lesser, degree for the landed gentry whose incomes have been depleted by excessive taxation.

A sympathetic welcome has been accorded Mr. Hamilton Fyfe on his ap pointment to the editorship of the Daily Herald, the congratulations coming from papers violently opposed to him in politics, Mr. Fyfe is among the successful band of journalists who left Scotland for Fleet Street. A Forfarshire man by birth, hol has had a varied experience in the lust thirty years. He started on the Tie as a reporter, and was afterwards sob sditor or that paper. Latter he joined the Daily Mail, went from there, to the Morning Advertiser, the organ of the ligour trade, and afterwards edited the Daily Mirror.

Germany like a man in dire financial straits who is being pressed by his creditors, some of whom have no more compassion than a bengal tiger, and the only thing that re trains them from extreme measures is the fear that, if pressed beyond a point when he has a sporting ebance to recover, he will take the plunge and gu hopelessly bankrupt.

Thus we have come, to "the moratorium- granted to Germany, which is now opera- tive, and we have yet another Conference of financial experts sitting to examine the position. Their job is to discover how much can be obtained from Germany, and. in what way, without inflicting harm upon ourselves. The truth is at last beginning to filter down to common intelligence among the Allied peoples that the way to put things right is to assist Germany to work,. and sell what she produces abroad, and in this manner pay off some, at least, of her prodigions indebtedness.

But herein is the rub, that although Funderstand that his appointment to the Germans are willing to work and the editorial control of the Daily Herald tariffs to prevent or hinder them selling trade, their neighbours have erected was made at a private session of the Trade what they have to offer freely in the Union Congress The choice of a pro-world-market.

The Irish newspapers contain columns and columns of claims which are being lodged daily against the Free State Government for loss and damage to property and, other forms of injury inflicted on the people. Tho sums set out range from £35,000 to £20. But nobody has the faintest idea when or whether any compensation will be forth doming These claims are made by what might be called the small fry" who have suffered, and they show how general is the campaign of loot and destruction. Io addition, there are the spectacular dramas, like the burning of big country houses.
