Child & Co,, the oldest private batik in England and perhaps in the world, is to be absorbed by Glyn, Mills & Co,, in,accordance with the will of -the eighth Earl of Jersey, senior partner, who died December 31st, says a Lon- don despatch. Child's bank was founded about the year 1660, has occupied the site of its present offices in Fleet,Street ever since, and is full of historic associa- tions. Oliver Cromwell, Samuel Pepys, Horace, Walpole, the poet; Dryden, Charles II: and his famous charmer, Nell Gwyn, were among those who had accounts at the bank, which is identical with "Tellson's" in Dickens's "Tale' of Two Cities,' • The connection with the bank of the Earls of Jersey can be traced to two romantic elopements. The tenth Earl of Westmoreland, who died in 1841, ran away with the daughter of the backer' Child, the couple being mar- ried at Gretna Green, Their daughh. ter :similarly eloped with the young Earl of Jersey, and the Jerseys ever since have been: partners in the bank- ing business, The latest balance sheet of Child: & Co. showed deposits of 1;3,000,060.

Liechtenstein to Join Swiss Republic When Prince Dies So much of the romance of royalty has been squeezed from the principal- ity of Liechtenstein by the World Wax that the little state, perched up in' the Alps between Austria and Switecr- laird, has decided to become a part of the Swiss Republic. The change will come with the :death of the present ruler, Prince Johann II„ eighty-four years old, who now is reported to be fatally 111. Liechtenstein is ruled by the Aus- trian House of Liechtenstein, which traces its origin back to the twelfth century. It is ane of the smallest principalities in Europe, being fifteen c miles longe and five miles wide, with 11,000 inhabitants, 'Only Monaco and San Marino are smaller, Liechtenstein le -one of the most pros - perdue districts on the:Continent and is virtually unhampered by taxation. Most of the expenses of public im- provement are borne by the Prince, h who has an enormous income from his d vast holdings in Austria and Czeeho- 2 Slovakia. s A despatch from Paris says:—A re rt po,, has reached Paris that repre- sentatives of the' Russian Red Cross have pieced large orders in Berlin for supplies and material for',field hospi- tals and first aid, applications. This, report, which' comes "from a we11-informed source, says that on April 1" representativesof the Soviet Red Cross—MM. Nemirovslcy, Brod- sky and Krotofl—visited the Chancel- Iexy, of the German Red Cross in Ber- lin and,.:asked that an estimate be sub- mitted, for delivery on . May 15, of material for the establi7lnnent of 60 field hospitals and 2,000,000 pookels of first aid supplies. The 'German Red Cross submitted its estimates to' the Russian represen- tatives, and it is understood an<agree- ment has been made for delivery at Stettin on May 1$, This report, i n conjunction .with. news+ incidentsand the alleged gather- ing of,froops on theBessarabian .fron- tier-- for .inspection by` Trotsky and Karat/leer, has given,rise to grave sus- picion of Russia's intentions with re- gard to Bessarabia. Duke of York. Chosen as Scotland's Unofficial Prince Not. to be outdone by Wales,,which can boast of its own royal' prince, an influential group of Scotchmen has chosen Albert, Duke of York, to be the unofficial Prince of Scotland, Since the time when Queen Eliza- beth robbed Scotland of its royal line Scotchmen have had only two or three royal princes allotted them by the grace of their English sovereign. Now the Scotchmen would like to exercise a certain amount of freedom in select- ing a ,royal prinee,of their own. Scotchmen attending the 141st anni- versary dinner of the Highland So- eiety, at which the Duke of York was present, took the initiative in adopt- ing him} as their favorite sant - The Scotchmen pointed out that the Duke of York also Sold a .Scottish title, "The Earl of Inverness,” and that furthermore he had married a Scot- tish duchess, and they did not neglect to note that he is also Scottish by lineage.. , In the course of his speech the Duke of York acknowledged the compliment. Theseleation„;has precedent in the action . of George<r;Iliy who `accommo- dated ; the expressed` desire of the Scotch and made' one of his sons the Duke of Clarence. Victoria hastened to treat all her subjects equally, mak- ing hersecondson the Duke of Bclin burgh, the third son the Duke of Con- naught for Ireland and the fourth son was created Duke of 'Albany' as Eng- land's own.

Will Not Objec t to Dublin Action--Debate,the • -" Position of the' King. A` despatch from London says:— Within a very short time the British Government is expected to notify the State Department it has no objection to appointment of an Irish Free State representative at Washington, Whether .or not Prof. Timothy Smiddy will be given the. post is a matter which concerns only the United States and the J'rce State. However, he ie most mentioned, Final decision regarding any envoy is not yet reach- ed and conversations between the British and Irish Governments prob- abiy will continue a few days longer. One question for debate is the po- sition of the Ifing. Under the con- stitution it only he, acting upon the advice of the British Government, who can authorize any British sub- ject to sign treaties. However, the Free State is not inclined to -admit such authority, however nominal it may' be. The situation is further complicat- ed by the fact *501"the last Imperial Conference, :atwhich the Free State was represented, adopted a resolution empowering any British Deminion-to negotiate with foreign powers in mat- ters affecting only that Dominion and no other part of the Empire. . This question, it is said, is on the point of being settled in its application to Ire- land's case. 1t is also understood the Free State representative will have the title and rank of Minister, and not of the high- er rank • of Ambassador.
