WITH BOWED HEADS,

You could not doubt that the silent crowds in the Strand and Fleet-street, and on Ludgate Hill, felt that. They would have expressed it by simply saying: "He was a sailor." and taking off their hats or bowing their heads. And of this also you could be very sure, that at bottom, there was much more of love for the sailor than of hate for the man who put him to death. Most of us are bad haters, though we like to pretend otherwise.

Here you see a good many shops that have been looted. Their plate-glass fronts are entirely smashed and have been done up with wood, through the chinks of which hungry people peer to see if by chance anything eatable has been left within. Beside them are shops unlooted. Little knots gather round one or other of them from time to time, but the vigilant Noske guard, with big round trench helmets on their heads, two stick bombs in each belt, and ever-ready riffes cross the street and move them on or fire a valley into the sir, which has the same effect.

These volleys are not, as might be supposed, blank shots but bulleted. Perhaps these young soldiers do not know that the bullets must come down some- where and at the velocity with which they went up. They have been heard to whistle over the British Legation, a mile away.

There is no pathos more deepquired about it. An obliging and true than in that prayer for the living at the funeral of a dead sailor.

The effect of this, as my learned friend goes on to point out, is twofold. On the one hand, "if William II. comes to this country, he cannot, as a British subject, be put on trial for 'an offence unknown to British law, except. by impeachment." So if his ex- Majesty chooses to stand on his right of British citizenship he will provide some fun for the lawyers and for Parliament. On the other hand, not only can he be charged here with any crime known to English law, but for most of the crimes which are likely to be alleged against him his extradition can be demanded, so far as they were committed within the jurisdiction of British Courts. That would apply to crimes committed on the high seas or by air raids on British territory. Mr. Lloyd George told an election audience last year that he had good legal authority for saying that the Kaiser had committed an indictable offerice. Presumably the authority was that of the then Attorney-General,

the shameless profiteers who are waging a war of plunder on the people.

"

One of the features of M. Clemenceau's. programme is the opening of the frontiers to food products and raw materials, such as skins, leathers, and cloths, of which France has need. Decrees have been drawn up ordering this. It will be a case of Free Trade in many kinds of goods which are indispensable to the life of the country. In addition, measures long over-due will be taken against food speculators.

At to-day's meeting of the Cabinet, President Poincare sign- ed decrees suppressing practically all the prohibitions in regard to imports.

Only about a dozen, articles, now remain under em- bargo. The decrees also bave the effect of simplifying the customs duties ad valorem and diminishing their importance.

On the occasion of the Victory Fetes in Paris certain hotels and restaurants announce the raising of prices by as much as 500 per cent. M. Clemenceau has given instructions for a Bill to be pre- pared to protect foreigners against commercial exploitation. Parlia- ment will be asked to pass the Bill without the slightest delay.
