A Times correspondent writes: -On May 16, 1911, when Wil hehu II, German Eniperor, at- tende. the unveiling of the Queen Victoria Memorial, did he, as he looked eastward down | the wide Mall towards Char- ing Cross, foresee a day when souble or triple line of his. own guns should be ranked on either side of that majestic way? Very likely he did; for, as we know now, his arch-spy was even then his fellow-guest in the Palace beyond the memorial.: But be hin the guns, we suspect, he saw German soldiers; and the guns themselves in his prophetic vision were a terre to the Eng lish people, not toys for the English children.

Can it be that there is some subile connection, indepen- dent of medial. association, between these exquisitely finishe i machines and the horrible pur- pse for which they wereshajel?
