British Aleman's Death In Germany,

Amsterdam, Supt. 9. -- The Frankfurter Zeitung censures he German Government for not ex- plaining the real facts of the case of the airman, Livuteonat Palmer, who died in a German internment camp, and regarding whom there was a letter from his father in en. English newspaper. It anys there should be an office in Berlin with some understanding of interns. tional relations and psychology which could deal with such must- ters. The newspaper argues that it is crident that Lieutenant Palmer was so badly injured that bis life-could not be saved.

The London Girl on the Land. One of the most unexpected things in relation to the employ- ment of women on the land bas been the success of the London girl. Formers acknowledge that ahe tackles all kinds of farm work with more energy and enthusiasm than the young woman natire to the soil, and is nearly always more skilful. Girls who have never been near a cow, before in their lives quickly brcome excellent milkers, and the town bred girl ie altogether astonishingly adaptable on a farm: This may in part be due to the much- criticised elementary education in our council schools, which h ́s proved that it can at least turn out girls possessing initiative and reacaice, Probably it is also partly due to the natural atirac- tion which ferm life has for the London boy or girl.
