The following is sa exact copy of the problem which an Italian girl has set for Mr. Hay Halkett, the Woolwich magistrate Egregious Sir, City-Magistrate, England, of Woolwich, S. E- Kindly excuse, sir, if also this time I write to you, but as I have had tas proof of your exquisite gentility, when in the 8 January, 1919 have again taken the Eberty of write to you for information of the Sapper-that for your mid I have had its news properly from Himself from—în the what he was recovered for a seriously illness.

Believed not, sir, that I may haven adven- turer whatsoever, and that I made this inquiry for motive not goods, but I assure you that is only, and merely for the sincere friendship that I have allways kept for Him, again from he' December, 1917, when I with my family were to the Front, and I cannot under- stand the reason, because He not may have given me its news off health again. Now I ask to you sincerely pardon of my liberty, and with the my infinite thanks, I remain for allways of you, sincerely, grateful and obliged.

WONDERS OF BIG BERTHA. There was a very large number of May Week: visitors at Cam- bridge recently when the fixture list was a very heavy one.. After the races the footlights bad a big success at the New Theatre with their topical revue "Reconstruc- tion," in whigh the female parts were played by undergraduates. From an academic point of view the chief event of the day was Lord Moulton's Rede lecture on. Science and War," which was delivered to a distinguis ed assembly in the Senate House Lord Moulton told some interesting facts about Big Bertha, which shelled

Paris from over 70 miles away. The whole details of the gun and poder necessary to accomplish this feat were at once worked ons and the gun wouli bave been manufactured if it had possessed suficient military value to war- tant the work and expense. In its fight the projectile from Big

Bertha must have reached

#four times as great as it Everest (the world's mountain). It owes its range to the fact that two-thirds of its flight it passing through regions was so rarifed that was negligible, and ace passed over so great that

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WAR.

Berlin, July 14,

Admiral Tirpitz, in his war book, professes complete innocence of causing the war. While Germany could not expect to overthrow England be expresses the opinion that the German Navy was strong enough to enable Ger- many to recuperate after the war; but the revolution, upset everything. Admiral Tirpitz makes the noteworthy admission that Viscount Grey's proposal at the end of July. 1914 was calculated to prevent war. He places the whole blame for the war upon Bethmann Hollweg, whom the Entente had given means peacefully to unravel, the Serbian problem. From the Entente's obvions unwillingness for war Hollweg concluded that he could take any liberties. When be (Tirpitz) saw the "highly peppered" ultimatum to Serbia be was convinced that Britain would enter the war. He spoke to Prince Heary warning him of the danger of awakening the warwill of Britain. Britain, by pressure on Belgrade, showed she did not want war. She helped Austria to a big diplomatic success, and Austria's honour was saved; but Bellmann Hollweg considered it diplomatic: to incite Austria, while in the eyes of Europe pretending he knew nothing. This equivocation was not only, unworthy but most dangerous. Admiral Tirpitz also accases Bethmann Hollweg of overhasty declaration of war France and Russia
