THE SITUATION IN THE FAR EAST,
ODD VOLUMES SOCIETY.
LECTURE BY CAPTAIN 4. C. ANDERSON.
Yesterday afternoon in the St. Andre's hall, to a fair gathering of members of the Odd Volumes Society, Captain G. C. Anderson gave mast instructive and interesting address on "The Situation in the Far East."
The Hen. T. . Weitehead presided. In introducing the lecturer he said that Capt. Anderson had during last year given two ad- dresses-one on "The Manning of the Mer- cantile Marine" and the other on "The Reasons for joining the Nary League" Both of these lectures liad been most instructive and he felt sure the one they were about to hear would be equally as edifying.
The lecture was rather too lengthy to give in full so we have made the following extracts.
Captain Anderson in his opening said he was the same position as Mr. Dummond as he had no difficulty in fuding something to say, the difficulty was in the selection. The lecturer made some appropriate remarks concerning the situation due to proceeding with the subject matter of his address. "The situation in the Far East."

Granted that we have the most profound distrust of Russian Offici- alism, we know there are good men in Russia and we must grant them the some patriotic, 'Then if feelings which we ourselves profess. the competition for running the puppet show in Peking were done away with, and Great Britain and Russia released from the necessity of each pulling its own string, our international rela tions would be on a much sounder and more. dignified footing.
