We have much pleasure in recurding qur great appreciation of the work done during the past four and aj half-years by our genial and hard- working Hon. Secretary (Mr S. Baker) and Hon. Treasurer Mr A. Stalker). Both these gentlemen have resigned; Mr Stalker to go on Furlough. Mr Baker finds the pasi tion entails a draw on his time) which he is unable to give andl resigns for that reason. The continued prosperity and the smooth working of the Insti tution during the team of office of both these gentlemen show the tact and ability with which they have carried out their work; Mr W. Brown has consented to take over the duties of Hon, Treasurer, for which we owe him our hearty thanks.

London, March 13. The "Daily Telegraph" quotes a well known statesman of considered judgment as declaring he was recently visiting the ex-Kaiser at Amerongen twice weekly, secretly, at night time, and says there is a direct connecting link between Amerongen and Erzeroum Furthermore Germany is directly associated in the Bolshevik and Pan Islamic movements in Central Asia and Asia Minor; also with the Magyar Government's recall to the colours of thirty-five annual classes. The statesman emphasisex that Berlin is inspiring Horthy's (1) move as well as Mustapha Kemal's with the view of deflecting from Western Europe as many Allied troops as possible, "thus rendering the enforcement of the disarmament clauses of the Treaty most difficult and the eventual restoration of William Hohenzollern easier. He points out hereanent that Germany's armed forces are approximately 900,000 although it was stipulated they must be reduced to 200,000 before. April,
