98 decrees.

"We Will Vote with the British.”

A toashing incident occurred during the recent International Commercial Conference in Rome, which is worth recording as illustrating the peculiar cofid ence nur Japanese Allies place in us. During a certain siiting of the Conference the conversation was coadneted with such rapidity that the Japanese delegatse pre- seat did not understand the precise gist of the motion to ba put before the meeting. But when the moment for voting. Game, and they were asked how they would vots, they replied, without asking any questions, We will rate with the British."

Strange German Admisalos. The German Socialist Vorwaerts makes this strange admission *-* "In the eyes of the majority of the white and yellow inhabitants of the globe Germany is regarded as the tyrannical and despotic |conqueror, and her enemies ars considered to be liberators. As the result of the Rasian revolu- tion and the American declaration of war, this tempest of world- opinion bas seamed the propor |tions of a hurricane.” The Berliner | Tageblatt, makas the confession

that the German policy "which" refused to join in the Bryan Treaty, to which Great Britain and other Powers gave their sesent; is now avenging itself.

It is scarcely necessary to say that these heirlooms by no means ferm the splendid collre. tion as it originally stood.

The fam ous Hope blue diamond was sold for 8120-000, and în 1910 an application was made before' Mr. | Jostice Warrington to sanction the sale of 20 of the remaining. pictures. But even with these (and possibly other) salar, the residue of the collection is esill of importano:, for apparently one of its most noteworthy sections, the antique and other sculpture,, has remaised intact and even pictures of second-rate.quality, coming from such a famous collection possess a greater claim ön col- Tectors than works of bigberartis- te qality without sach sa un- disputed provenspcs. · There are probably about 50 plátures by old - (minsters and family porkestim still
