Mr. Caldwell's career of crime and rapine is to be brought to a close. or to what lengths he would have been prepared to have gone, bub for Mr. Anstey, it is difficult to say.

The adver- tisement (a very lengthy one) pro- ceeds to say that, although the rela- tious between the United States and Japan are serious, those between Great Britain and Japan are far, more so and that Britain is "agog with eagerness" to deal Japan a mortal blow for many reasons, among the latter being the rivalry of the two in the Chian and India trade and because Japan snapped her fingers at the League of Nations of which Britain is said to be the mainstay, "Many Japanese who are great friends of peace and are in- berently good-natured," the adver- tisement continues.
