THE NICKY" LETTERS.

London, Jan. 1. -

The first instalment of the letters of the ex-Kaiser to the Tsar was published in the Morning Post" to-day. It includes one dated Sad' April, 1986; of particular interest to the Far East. The ex-Kaiser therein writes "I shall certainly do all in my power to keep Europe quiet and guard the rear cf Russia so nobody shall hamper your action towards the Far East. For that is clearly the great task of Russia in the fature, to cultivate the Asian continent and defend Europe from the inroads of the great yellow race. In this you will always find me on your side, ready to help you as best I can. I shall with interest await the further development of our action and hope that just as I will gladly help you settle the question of eventual annexations of portions of the territory for Russia you will kindly see that Germany may also be able to acquire a port somewhere where it does not you"

London, Dec. 2.

In further letters from the ex-Kaiser to the ex-Car, dated Sept. 26 and Oct. 25, 1895, published in the "Morning Post," the former indulges in a diatribe against the French whom he accases of Chauvinism and Imperialist remarking "God knows I have done all in my power to preserve European Pesce but if France goes on violating all the rules of peace one fine day Dearest Nicky you will find yourself, "nolens volens,"embroiled in the most horrible war Europe has ever seen. If you are allied with the French keep the damned rascals in order. The curse of god has stricken that people for ever." The ex-Kaiser, referring to British foreign policy says the British seem to have some idea or other of changing their policy in the Mediteranean for two days' and Malet, paying a farewell visit to our Foreign Ofice, used the most blustering words about Germany behaving badly to England in Africa, that it could not be stood longer, and that after the buying of French by concessions in Egypt they were at liberty to look after us. He was even so andiplomatic as to utter the word "war" saying even, England would not shrink from making war upon me if we did not knock down in Africa. I made an answer to the effect that the British were mot only making themselves ridiculous in this case but cbnoxious to everybody and if they got into trouble with anybody else I would not move a Pomeranian grenadier to help them. It suppose that will cool them.

THE RUSSIAN PROBLEM.

Moscow, Jan. 2.

A wireless message announces that the Red Army has entered Bokhara and was warmly welcomed. The Daily Chronicle" correspondent at Dorpat reports (Jan. 1st) that the Bolshevik and Esthonian delegates have signed an instrument agreeing to a cessation of hostilities between Soviet Russia and Estonia prior to peace, deliberations, which will begin forthwith.

Londón, Jan 2

Mr. "O'Grady, interviewed by the "Daily Mirror", said be had every reason to believe he would be able to arrange by the end of January for the homecoming of all Eritish military and civilian prisoners in Russia. He expressed the opinion that Russia would work out her own salvation Armed intervention would not serve any purpose and it was good imagining that Japanese intervention would solve the mroblem of Bolsheviem by destroying it:

PRISONERS IN-SIBERIA.

Rome, Jan. 2.

The International Committee of Red Cross Societies at Geneva is requesting intercession in favour of two hundred thousand prisoners of different nationalities in the bands of the Japanese and kept in Siberia undergoing agonising suffer- ings, which must lead to madness or death. The Vatican organ "Observator Romano" declares the Pope has en thusiastically adhered to the sentiments of the letter. The journal trusts the authorities will employ all means to secure immediate repatriation of the prisoners. The Pontiff is not studying means to secure the co-operation of the authorities hereanent. It is believed the Pope has communicated with the Japanese Government, as the only route for repatriation. -"the prisoners seems to be via Vladivostock.

SALMON FISHERIES.

Ottawa, Dec. 31.

With a view to encouraging the white fishing population of the Pacific Coast, the Dominion Government has decided to discontinue the issue of salmon cannery or salmon seining licences except to resident citizens of white race. Hitherto the fishing, has been largely in the hands of Orientale

EDUCATION.

WAY TO SOLVE IN- DUSTRIAL PROBLEM.

The annual meetings of the Congregational Union of England and Wales, which had to be postponed in September owing to the railway strike, were held in Bradford recently under the presideney of Sir J. D. McClure.

The subject of the President's address was Education and Some Present-day Problems." After referring to the great value placed upon education by their forefathers, the early Puritans," he said they owed to the wisdom and experience of Mr. Fisher another great charter, fraught with countless blessing to the people of this land: yet most of them seemed strange- ly slow to appreciate the number or the nature of the benefits offered them. The reception given to the Act did not reveal any widespread enthu siasm for education; and without the moral dynamic of such enthusiasm no scheme. however: excellent, could achieve more than partial success, even if it avoided failure. Most discon- certing of all Was the com-1 paretively apathetic attitude of the Churches towards this measure.

"Contempt for intellectual. training," he continued, "is man- ifested in many ways. A father: in placing his son at one of the great schools, remarked to his boy's master: 'I suppose he will have to do Latin and Science and Mathematics and that sort of thing; but I am not keen on them. Brains do not matter so much; I can always buy brains. I want bim to mix with the right sort of people, and get into the Eleven and the Fifteen. The rest does not matter. Another father says to his son: 'I want you to be a good, clean, honourable man; and and then I don't mind if there are a good many holes in your Latin and Science.

It may be remarked that it is not the best way of teaching a boy to be upright and honourable to suggest that his daily work is of comparatively small import- ance. Again, in books written for school boys (and others), the hero is frequently a youth who leaves his brain severely alone, gets through his lesson anyhow, and spends his time in more or less, thrilling adventure. Later) on, of course, he becomes a great soldier, or perhaps a leader at the Chancery list."

The industrial problem was at bottom a moral one, and educa- tion must needs have a large share in its solution. He gather- ed from the abusive postcards be received from time to time that soce working-men were pro. foundly suspicious of education, because they imagined is to be a conspiracy on the part of the

classes to make them more efficient producers and to fill them with upper class views of econ omies. There might be grounds for such a suspicion, due in part to the frequency with which the utilitarian view purely of educa tion was put forward.

As far as teachers in general were concerned, the fear was to groundless. Education was not merely a means of life, or, to put it paradoxically, its aim was to teach a man his leisure. It might be safely said that one of the greatest obstacles in the way of the solution of the industrial problem was the fact that very few amongst employers or em-- ployed enjoyed their leisure us, they might and ought to do.

To those who regarded merely the surface of things the outlook was dark indeed, but a closer consideration of the under-cur- reats revived their hope and con- fidence. The profiteer, the shirker, and the waster were, after all, but the scum and froth on the stream of national life. They were not truly indicative of the main current below. "Even Labour unrest, though at times it assumed strange and dangerous- forms, was due at bottom to the influence of an ideal, dimly per- ceived, of a new and better state. Men felt that they had been so long shat out from the best things which life had to offer, and their protest naturally found express- ion in violent action and bitter words.

In conclusion Sir John said; “Brethren, it is good to be ahvý now, to feel, in spite of all present troubles and dangers, in spite, too, of the many and inevitable mis- takes and crudities of the near future, that we stand at the threshold of a new and "batter. world, to belive that the next 30- years will see the growth of a nobler and more Christian spirit in social, industris), and inter- national relations than has ever been known before."
