The Germ ex -Crown, Prince, it seems, is still at Wieringen. But if a refereed= were held among the inhabitants of Vieringen the island would soon be rid of him. Even the feeling of the humblest peasant is decidedly against a prolonged stay of the unbavited guest. "Little Willie" caused a small commotion in the island in the be- ginning; butl now 'each 'Man goes his way without taking Any notice of the illustrious personage. It is true that he walks in "klompen," or wooden shoes, and that he "pals up" to the villagers; but these things he must do otherwise he would be miserable beyond belief. That is the consensus of opinion among the Wieringeners. But, says one of the island not- ables, he is as hypocritical as ever. His handling' of the plough and his • work at the village blacksmiths are a make-believe—another manifesta- tion of his old craving for popularity. 'And the village belles of Oosterland will have none of his haughtiness, none of his philandering. But wily Willie is scattering his bounties broadcast, giving sweets to the little children and occasional presents to their parents. The only cab owner on the island has done well, by driving him. and his small retinue and their occasional visitors about. He has been able to buy a motor car, and shows you -with some pride the fur coat he has got from, "the prince," with the gold tie- pin with its gold "W" and the im- perial crown.

This is the superficial im- pression received by the new arrival. There is, however, a feeling that an 'undercurrent of unrest exists, and this is scarcely to be wondered at in view of the powerful influences of past and present political propa- ,ganda. Yet, in examining this, one feels that the so-called Nationalitits have shot their bolt and that any ex- treme tendencies are artificial and forced, rather than natural and spon- taneous. The efforts bf the native press— now evidently less hampered by the censor—to maintain public interest in the movement appear to be, the work of a few political propagan- dists rather than the supply of news to meet a genuine demand. The so- called Egyptian delegation, main- tained by funds, raised/1m and out- side the country, has had an expen- sive and evidently fruitless trip to Paris. As far as such undertakings are concerned, it has justified its claim to represent the Egyptians in so -far that the members . have failed to co-operate and that questions are being asked about its expenses. The delegation failed to obtain a hearing at the Peace Conference; most of the memberk have returned to Egypt, and a bi-weekly paper, under the title of Egypt, is being published in Paris. This appears to be the prac- tical outcome of their plunge into world politics. Now, the attitude of the fellah is really a governSng influence In Egypt's thinking, as he forms the jority of the population and, though generally unlettered, he has, on the whole, the finer character. He probably does not love- the British any more than he did six months ago, which is perhaps not saying very much, but he certainly likes the effendi or educated class very much less now than before, as he under- stand i to -day that he was entirely misled in the recent disturbances. He has detected mah of the untruths of the so-called Nationalist propa- ganda, but most important still in his sight is the fact that ,he incul•ted much actual lass instead of promised gain and has largely been made the scapegoat in the punishments that have boon inflicted by the authori- ties. His disillusionment, though not yet complete, is certainly a step to- ward .progress and the authorities will be wise to see that it is com- pleted. The propagandists, who aTe almost all among the educated classes; prob- ably know their failure. Yet they are still hopeful that as a result of the labor unrest that is sweeping every country much material may be 'found useful for their purpose, namely, to institute again Eastern' autocracy in Egypt. While there is no doubt their projects' have received a rude shock itt the disappointment and soreness of the fellah and the failure of the dele- gation, It would be foolish indeed to 'not.

But suppose you had kept a little notebook where, from day to day, you jotted down the ideas you had. Sup- pose you had saved house plans that you found, pictures that gave prac- tical ideas—eomething concrete with which to bick up your 'statement' when you told the builder that you wanted something a little different.

In connection with so-called Na- tionalist propaganda it is interesting to note the flotation of two commer- cial undertakings said to be purely Egyptian. One of these is a cotton export company, known as "The Egyptian Produce Trading Com- pany," with a capital of 250,000. This capital was privately subscrib- ed and practically all the shares are in the hands of two rich notables of Alexandria greatly intereste4 in the recent movement. The proPosed dis- posal of the profits is that after pro- viding for interest at the rate of 6 per cent. on the capital subscribed and ivr al ng a bonus of 15 per cent. to th atemployes, the balance shall be pi ed in a reserve fund. As the promoters have large interests in cot- ton -growing lands and as they are offering loans on the fellahin's crops at very favora.ble terms, it is prob- able that the company will do a good ' deal of business. Whatever its na- ture may be, it would appear that it can scarcely be properly termed a commer !al company. It should be noted t at the company has appoint - n -Egyptian Jew as its man- e three -years contract, at the f which it is hoped that an an may be found capable of ng on the business. second undertaking is a pro- posed native bank. - The labor situation in Egypt to- day is very unsettled, and quite apart from genuine causes of complaint, such as the cost of living, whichexaminer—Miss Mary C.

Never was there such a re- markable traveller. Other men have travelled more extensively, devoted themselves to the work of explora- tion more exclusively, but few have been able to combine so much ex- cursion abroad with so much activity at home as Lord Curzon. Central Asia, Persia, Afghanistan, the Pa- mirs, Siam, Indo-China, and Korea, to Mention only the most important, were investigated with a cbitsuming interest and insatiable desire for facts, which overflowed, later on, in a series of books, most of them still standard works on the subjects dealt with. - Meanwhile, the member for the Southport division was steadily, climbing the political ladder. For a short time, 1891-92, he was Under- Secretary of State for India, and, from 1895 to 1898, held the posi- tion of Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The next year save the consummation of his second great ambition. He was appointed Governor-General of India. Now, it is one of the great unwritten laws ooncerniag this appointment that the Governor-General of India must be a peer, and the Hon. George Nathaniel Curzon was already the eldest son of a peer. The difficulty, however, was overcome by his having an Irish peer- age conferred upon him, and as Curzon of Kedleston he embarked for India. Few achievements have received more varied criticism than Lord Cur- zon's administration in India. By some he has been hailed as the great- est Viceroy India ever had; whilst by others his rule has been charac- terized as a failure. The course. of the just estimate probably lies, as is generally the case, between the two extremes.. If his partition of Bengal still causes the name of Curzon to be anathema in certain quarters,. it is in- others regarded as a wise and even inevitable reform; whilst in- his disagreement with Lord 'Kitchener, which, ultimately, occasioned his re- signation, after he had- been Viceroy for _five years, he at any rate stood for the time-honored British tradi- tion, the doll control of the army. ' And so Lord, !Curzon returned home, secured 'eleetion as an Irish representative peer, -and "retired" to the House of Lords.. Since then he has stood forth very prominently in English politics as a Moat staunch Conservative, as a great defend r of the rights and privileges of the ere- ditary chamber, and a strong o pon- ent- of Home Rule for Ireland. Dur- ing the last five years, however, all party politics put aside, Lord Curzon has indeed deserved well of his fel- low countrymen. For since he joined the Coalition Cabinet in 1916, Cur- zon of Kedleston has devoted himself whole-heartedly to the great task be- fore his country, bringing to bear upon it all that tremendone energy which, in the days of his pro-cOnsul- ship, was wont to be the despair of Government officials in Calcutta and Simla.

In a very short time the spawn hatches, and the young fry are then kept in pure fresh water until a sufficient size to be put into the ponds.

How to Bathe. • Swimming is an art—a physical accomplishment. Sea -bathing is a science. Sea -bathing rules seem to be limit- ed to --Don't bathe just after a meal; don't stop in the water when you shiver; don't get out of your depth. But—well, here's the science of the thing.

These words were spoken in 1914 by that host 01gen- 1 iality, the saltiest of gay sea dogs, Sir Thomas Johnstone Lipton. Picture a rather tall gentleman, whose skin has-been whipped brown by the winds, whose flowing mous- tache, tinged with grey, cannot dim the lustre of an Irish smile, who walks with just the hint of a sailor's • roll, and whose eyes' carry the half - roguish twinkle of eternal youth and • that is Sir Thomas. At the time he spoke of his last shilling the Shamrock IV. was in. mid-Atlantic, being convoyed hither ,by the Lipton steam yacht Erin, where in September it was to have • competed against the Resolute, a lit- I,- tie bundle of nautical invincibility, off Sandy Hook. 11 was to ,have been the fourth Liptonian attempt to take back to the tight little island the most cele- brated international yachting trophy.. In 1899, again in 190A, and in 1903 • Sir Thomas and his especially con- structed Shamrocks, with their natty skippers, had failed to "bring horao the bacon," War came. Like a peal of thun- der it rumbled across Europe and echoed to England. The Briton drop- ped hia_sports and tea to don khaki and shoulder a gun. Yacht racing , and other affable diversions were ' ""60414.4ps SIR THOMAS urfozi. sent in to limbo to await that day when a nation that had never learn- ed to love sports or to play them aft England and America did should. have been taught an indispensable 'lesson. After the armistice the Irish baro- net again challenged. But it was too soon, the New York Yacht Club thought, and the challenge was tem- porarily rejected, with the promise that in 1920 a similar overture would no doubt be given not unfavor- able consideratiqn. That time has arrived. The New York Yacht Club is in receipt of sir Thomas Lipton' e latescchallenge, and in due course arrangements will have been completed again to defen& the cup which the America won or Cowes, England, in the historic race against the English in 1865. There will be no deviation from the usual Provisions for the race, which means that the two yachts will race under the rules laid down in the deed of gift rather than the universal rules which have been rather assiduously espoused by Sir Thomas. With nothing', to interfere, Sfr Thomas Lipton's fourth attempt to lift the America's,Cup should be sail- ed next summer, probably in June, with Shamrock IV. ---which the Irish sportsman already has designated as his yacht — competing against the Resolute, which was completed in 1914 to defend the .up. Sir Thomas Lipton is in his sixty- eighth year. Born in 1851 ,of poor Irish parents, pursuing a nomadie career in his youth which brought him over the seas and into America, where, as he said, he learned the value of: "shrewd enterprise," before reaching tire age of fifty he hail amassed a tremendous fortune, It is an epic task he has chosen, that of building a yacht in England, bringing it to America under its own sail, creating it swift, yet seaworthy, and competing against the leanest and fastest creations brought out of • the drafting rooms of American de- signers. Three times a Shamrock has been sent over the seas, and three times a Columbia or a Reliance has turned her back—the last time in 1903- — but these repetitive dis- appointments have served only as a stiniulus to Sir Thomas' ambition. his dominating impulse has be - co le so much a part of Sir Thomas' interesting career that once, in 1901, when business troubles pyre/at/tiled and stockholders of the tea com- panies complained, one of them after a stormy meeting shouted: • "Neve!' mind the conipany. Bring, back the cup!" A love of the sea is always in- born. It is man's harkback to the atavistic or the amphibious. Early in Met' when he was a messenger ` boy for -astationer in• Glasgow, Tommy Lipton exhibited this surpassing love of the sea and spent such time as he could conveniently spare among the piers and •wharves where boats that sailed the seven seas tome to port. He said then and he declared often thereafter that some day he would own "the, finest, fastest !sailing yacht afidat," and certainly since his fin- ances bave warranted an effort he bee spared neither pains nor money in the attempt to consummate his ambition. e • ED AM: WILL 'ijftIIUift-itfl 1 (Contiril it was ph Mr. Montaii confidence tion was Tic trst, but le as well as "In the his assault iv.
