His address was only a political one of a very biassed sort in which he denounced the "un- equal treaties," the Concessions, extra-territoriality, and the foreign Customs-service.--[ found myself disagreeing with him from beginning to end. I could see, however, that the audience was impressed. In conversation with a few I surprised and perhaps shocked them by say

WORLD'S RECORD THIEF.

2,000 HAULS IN 7 YEARS.

BERLIN.

Before the Breslau criminal court Josef Barbec, born at Metz, enter- tained his hearers on his proud record of 2,000 cases of theft during seven years.

Though he had worked with a gang of thieves he had only once been caught. Barbee claimed this as a world's record.

His professional skill was exer. cised in every Breslau church and school, including the Anglican church. three Roman Catholic chapels, and three synagogues and. his plunder included articles as various as leather handbags, 260 bicycles, and numerous hauls of jewellery,

He called the presiding judge sharply to order for confuring his 610th case with the 930th, which, he said, had taken place in quite different suburbs.

When asked whether he kept a diary by which he memorised his numerous exploits Barbes scorn- fully replied that he was not an amateur, and that part of his stock- in-trade as a master thief was a faultless, memory.
