GENERAL NEWS.

Russian Deserters,

General Yang, Teen-hsing, Tuchun of Singkinng, (says the Chuispao) reports that the number of deserters from the Rasrian Army that have escaped into the territory of Ili srosede 10,000 "to the great alarm of the people,” and that the now Bastian Consul at Harbagatai has been aèsassinat- od by Russiane of the old Con-). salate.

Kattegat Victims.

The Secretary of the Admiralty, with reference to reports that Tossels have been sark by mines in the Kattegat and in the neigh- bourhood of the Skow, announces that no mines dangerous to mer- thant shipping have been laid by the British outside British noti fed areas. It follows that sDY mizes in the above regions which are of such a nature as to be dangerous to merchant shipping. must, with her usual "disregard for neutral interests have been Isid by Germany.

World-Wide. English,

Dar educational system is far below the standard of national re- quirements so far as the study of foreign languages and peoples in concerned. Such is the conclus Ton of a committee appointed by the Prime Minister to consider the question. English, in the committee's opinion, is the most important language, because of the great and populous areas over which standard English is im mediately comprehensible to all. inhabitants, and because of the world-wide extension of ita uso na a second means of communication. Compulsory Latin and Greek at the universities are a special im pediment to the study of modern languages, says the committee,

Capt Boddy "Acquitted. Capt John Wm, Boddy director of the Holbeach Land Colony for ex-soldiers, was sogaitfed at the Old Bailey of charges of obtain ing 431 from the Civil Liabilities Committee and #13 6a. 84. from the Officers' Families Faad by false pretencer, and of attempt- ing to obtain a further sum from each organisation." It was alleged that in applying for the renewal of a grant from the Civil Liabilities Committee he failed to disclose that he had been appointed Director of the Land Colony at $400 a year. Giving evidence, Capt. Boddy said that with each of the declarations he went to Oivil Liabilities Còm- mittee lettere fully explaining his position, but tho e lettera, il was stated, could not be traced.

Fate of the Dogs. Under the suspices of the Dog Owners Defence Association, s end meeting of dog owners breeders from all parts of the kingdom was held at Cannon- street Hotel yesterday, when a resolation was passed expressing appreciation of the War Cabinet's decision to reserve supplies of low. grade foodstuffs for the feed- ing of dogs. Sir Frederick Banbury, M.P., euid: “In August, 1914, my son went to France. The night before he left he said. *Father, look after my dogs and horses while I am away." I said, Don't you worry about them. He was killed in December, und I have got the dogs and horses now. As I said to Mr. Boner Law last Jear,

I should like to see the man who would tell me I am not to look after my son's dogs and horses." (Applause.)
