The return game between the George Heriot's F.P. and Glasgow High School FPs was probably the most interesting and exciting struggle seen in Glasgow this season. Incidents abounded from start to finish, and the crowning thrill came in the

THE DIMININKING INFLUX. .

It is of great interest to study the statistics concerning visitors to Virpua. In 1919, after the breakdown, some 300,000 persons came to the capital, in 1920 362,000, in 1921 404,000, and last year, when speculation reached the climax, 440,000. of the last mentioned number 110,000 were Austrians and 330,000 foreigners. About a third of the foreigners were Checho-Slovaks, a seventh Hungarians, a tenth Italians, and only 11,000 each Eng lish and American. From Australia there were 223. Even in December last the num ber of visitors had sank by one-third, as compared with November, only some 15,000 foreigners appearing here. Compared with August, when the foreign inflar strongest, the December figure means a reduction by two-thirds.

Dr. Alfred Zimmerman, the Com- missary-General, has an optimistic view 1of Austria's future, and will remain in bis post here. In an interview, he stated that there had never been such a fine loan-an international loan, in whicb the whole of Europe has partaken-although all the States are in financial difficulties. Under such circumstances he also believes in the success of the big loan, the chances of which seem to him very favourable. On the other hand, Dr.. Zimmermann feels convinced that farther radical reforms in: the internal administration of Austria are necessary, that the number of ministerial posts and departments must be reduced, and that foreign experts are required in. the handling of the tobacco monopoly, the official trade in this article having been badly managed."
