GENERAL NEWS.

The New Word. "Hunzollern," a new term to describe the brutality of PrussÏAN warfare, is likely to take its place in American slang. It was sug- gested in a letter to one of`ibe newspapers by a writer who pointed out that any such term should include the German ruling dynasty, which is entirely res ponsible for the præent European conflagration.

No Rumanian Splasters, Although it is not likely that meu above forty will be utilised for field purposes by the Ra- manian military authorities, it in quite trus that Romania's total ablebodied manhoo 1, if it include i meu up-to the extreme age limit) of 46, falls little short of 1,100,- 000. This remarkably high per centage out of a total population of roughly, seven-and-a-half millions is explained by the marked excess of male over female births in the Danubian kingdom,' an excess which averages se much as 8 per cent. The same pheno- | menon is observed in other

mountainous countries subjɛet to violent climatic alternations of extrema best and extreme cold. No wonder that in Rumenia spinsterhood after 25 is almout unknown 1-Ezchange.

Chinese in England.

Saya the Globe:-John Chins- man is not taking the aspersions of the speakers" at the Trades Ucion Congress lying down. Their in probably good deal of romance in the legends about the Yellow Peril, even in Stepney, The Taog Toe Tong, which is the Chines Seamen's and Fire. men's Asociation, with head- qusrters in Liverpool, baa oiroulsted a reply to the specbes referred to. It ridiculee the talk about gambling and fan tan, and says that Englishmen

play cards, billiards, drink whiskey, and smoke good eigara.” Bat what the British merchant eesman or ship hand has to an- swer is the charge of the Chinese that “British abipowners employ Chiness fremen on their ships for a trifle less money)

" because "we are elesdy, reliable, and stick to our ships, and that to get Britisbers to work on board whips is almost impossible."
