The Continental view that King Edvard was responsible for policy for the isolation of the Central Powers is controverted in a record, dated August, 1908, by Count Achrenthal, then Austro-ust 13 Hungarian Foreign Minister, who denies that the King at that time tried to draw Austria away from her German ally.

"Fly, Red Eagle of Tyrol," by A. Angermeyer, is a South Tyrolese play of warm local colouring and good characterisation. No Italians are seen on the stage, and the se tian, such as it is, takes place fifty- years ago in a frontier inn. The patriotism of the play caused mem- bers of the Foreign Office to request the manager to cut certain passages. This came after a complaint had been made from other quarters,

A Scientific Maskelyne, Mr. T A. Coward, who gave. the first lecture, could surely interest anybody on birds. And then the lectures are never allowed to de- generate into dullness.

The Annexation of Bosnia. The Loudon Cabinet's hostile' at- litude towards the annexation of Bosnia-Herzegovina was later in correctly connected with King Ed- ward's visit to the Emperor Francis Joseph and the former's supposed attempt to drive a wedge between Austria and Germany. An interest ing report of Count Mensdorff, the Austrian Ambassador in London November 3, 1908), corroborates this. It reveals the sharpness of the unexpected hostility of Great. Britain to Austria. Mensdorf quotes a etatement by Tittoni to the effect that, if Vienna should refuse the conference demanded by Great Britain, Great Britain would not hesitate to recall her Ambai sador from Vienna and to diepatch a squadron to the Adriatic. Mens- dorff regarded this possibility as too pessimistic, but nobody, he says, can anticipate correctly what might happen. in case of a serious conflict between Austria and Tur- key. Mensdorff expreses the view that the reasons for the attitude of King Edward and the British Gov- ernment were the annexation and the failure of Austria, to notify Great Britain of her intentions.

There is the photograph of the bittern holding up the brown stem of its beak so that it looks just like one of the reeds which sur. round it. Mr. Coward mentioned that when he was in Cheshire the other day he heard two of them booming away in the distance. They used to be very common there a hundred years ago before they were driven out of England. But they are coming back at last, and you can hear them across many of the meres in different parts of the country. Mr. Coward believes we shall soon have them nesting in "Cheshire again.

And in talking of Cheshire, Mr. Coward remembers a 'shelduck there which used to nest folaad nine miles away from the sea. Every year it used lead its young to the coast, and the family could be seen waddling across railway, tracks and high roads. Whether they ever arrived no one can tell. Once all the young were found in a barn and were carried back to their nest. But they disappeared two or three days later.

Miss Bergner's Breakdown. Elizabeth Bergner, like her Ameri- can predecessors, broke down in the intensely long and trying role of O'Neill's in Eugene "Strange Interlude." Her sensi- tive temperament and frail body make it a constant surprise to her many admirers that she should ever be able to play any long part at all. But her director, Dr. Robert Klein, who holds the German rights of "Journey's End," and whose efforts on behalf of the English Players in

The question of when an actress is the box-office draw of bis star, really ill and when she is merely "temperament" suffering from agitated the Berlin Press for days. Dr. Klein sent three doctora to examine his leading lady, who ene and all declared that she was mere- ly suffering from the natural at- tributes of stardom: waywardness and a highly-strung temperament. Her own doctors, men of unim- peachable authority, were able to produce proofs of her extremely delicate health and need for rest.

"Victims of the Star."

Public opinion was all for Dr. Klein, who took the Press into his confidence and stated that managers are the victims of their stars. This is the beginning of a German cam- paign against the star system which has ruined the old repertory_com. panies.
