No amount of learning acquired at Winchester and New College; Oxford, could havo bestowed on him. the extraordinary gifts of genius which be possessed. These gifts were soon to be utilised. Quite 60on after leaving Oxford he was summoned to Siam to act as private tutor to a certain nobleman in that country. After that the King of Siam "commanded him to organise tlie education of that country, with the result that this very great young man, with little experience of the world, founded a system of education for a country whose manners, customs, laws, and practices ihad to be learned from the beginning, a system of education which has survived him and remains to this day a.

GAS BILL ONLY 10-. People hare often told mo about Invention -which suves Thousands of Feet of Gad on Cooking alone. It is called the Multicookcr." I was told that it cooks anything and everything with ONE gas ring of average consumption, instead of requiring FOUR or more, as on the ordinary Gas Bve. Also that it Saves anything from 8ozs. to-ljlbs.

But I knew that if it were truo overv British Housewife could laugh at, High l'rices and GAS SAVING EXTRAORDINARY. want of organising power that one remarks amongst the German revolutionaries, duo partly to their political inexperience, partly to the snrvival among the proletariat of the old particulariet feeling3, and partly to the absence of any support from the peasantry. The other renson why the German revolutionaries do not seem to "me to be likely to be very formidable is that the German temperament is not revolutionary. The bter-class workman, is as little" -in- The various attempts to start a Russian Bolshevism in the industrial centres of Germany never took root.

It is much easier to understand what Germany is like by trying, to imagine an England after a disastrous defeat, after the discrediting of the whole of the ruliitg class and after several years of intense domestic dtstreea. than to get an idea of what it is like by a Russian analogy. BETTER THAN A-MONTH AGO. On the whole, indeed, I am inclined to be extremely optimistic and to think that things ore distmctfy batter now than they were a month ago. "Whether the settlement of the conflict is final largely depends on ourselves.

Tho militarist action would never have recovered the small importance it had but for the unfortunate effect that we have to a large extent and quite unintentionally had on the German situation. with a morbid condition of affairs, in which there are two schools of idealists, Nationalists "and Internationalists, militarists and communists, and for a time the-iirtcx-vening moderate mass nf opinion has been either swamped or swinging violently between those two extremes. During the rarly pr.rt of last year it was swinging violently to the Left in revolt at the anti-Socialism of "the Noske form of Government. During the latter part of the year it was swinging as violently to tlie Right in reaction against the anti-nationalism of the Treaty of Versailles, Now, so far ax one can gather, it, has started swinging to tho Left again. But, if left to themselves, these oscillations will gradually diminish and the inarticulate influence of the moderate and middle-class masses will restore THE RIVAL SCHOOLS OF IDEALISTS.

On his return from Siam everything -MornmtndeTtook as a seeker after truth LITTLE FEAR OF BOLSHEVISM. in social and educational work in the East End as assistant director of Special Inquiries and Reports" in the Education Dopartment as private secretary- fitted him, as we are now able to appreciate, for -the top posts he was later to occupy.

People aro amazed to think 1 can cook Meat, I'lsh, two Boiled Puddings, two Vegetables, Milk Puddlugand Fruit, with ONE Gas Ring." And so I migbt continue, quoting case after case.

Young is the autlior of The New Germany," tho firs English book which gives from tho point of view of an eye-witness a full account of tho general condition of Germany since tho revolution of November, 1918. The view ho takes is optimistic, and though lie points out this must necessarily bo an ox-treimely anxious and critical week for the whole of Europe, yet he feels that now that the air is cloarrd things are definitely better in Germany to-day than they were a month ago.

"The re-action itself," said, "was only of importance in its effect on the Revolution. For various reasons I am inclined to think that it ia probably the beet thing that could have happened. In the first place it brought things back to realities in Berlin. Tho people who seized power this last week had really been in power for nearly a year. When I first- come across them they represented a clique of officers who had thir hieadquarters in suburban hotel in Berlin and were under the leadorahip of Oaptein Pabst.

As they hod control of the only Jdisciplirjed-Jorce-then available-they made themselves indispensable to the Government of tho day as soon as it began to lose conurol of the revo lut.ionaries. Their next development was their transfer to tho Ministry of Defence, where thoy continued tho same function. Nosko then worked on as tlie Saviour of Society, was only a figure-head, not a strong man at all. Ho was nraroly tho Constitutional cloak of this clique of strong men repr.eaen.ting the idealists of tho Right and reaiascemt Gormen nationalism. "As tho Constitutional Government weakened as tho result of the Txoaty of Versailles, with the loss of all its most able members except Erzbergor, and when they lost him by his personal disgrace, the twin Socialist facade that camouflaged these militarists cnurtbled away at a touch.

A coup d'eiai had been, prepared last summnr at tho. time of fa-a GijpDAturo of the Treaty, but it was recognised that tho moment was not' ripe. Now it ib to be hoped that these PrsBtcrians have boen finally got rid of. Tho second recovery of reality due to tbe coup d'etat is that it will now be realised by a moderate GovernnteVat, if, as we hope, a moderate Government regains power, that a Government cannot continually control a country by armed force without becoming subordinated to those who control that foroe. country beyond, which he saw would provide for increased happiness, for greatef opportunity for tho unfolding of personality, and for the improved health of his fellow-men.

Indeed, it JOINT COOKED WITH THE MULTICOOKER. JOINT COOKED WITH ORDINARY GAS-STOVE. "In the three years 0916, 1917, 1918) you will see," says Mrs. Burrows, "that the amount usod varies very little, but in the year 1919 I saved 11,000 feet of as with the Multi-cooker, despite the fact that I have had quite as many hot meals if Dot more than usual, and that the Circulator for the Bath as well a the Gas Vires have been in use more rather than leas during 1919.

I. hare seen lolnte cooked on tho Multicooker -loolts-aETthougKThe Government Party will sustain many reverses at the polls, and yield seats to both Nationalists and This surmise has, unfortunately, proved only too true, but, although I knew Labour would contest practically every urban scat. I was not prepared for ita striking success. It holds the key of the present political situation in South Africa. It is easy to analyse the causes of the Labour success.

South Africa is suffering from the same economic evils as Die rest nf tho world, aud, undoubtedly, thousands voted ljatxmr as their only means of protest against advancing prices and "profiteering." Unfortunately, every country thinks its troubles are local and npt world-wide, and imagines that a change of Government will act as a magician's wand and cause the desert to bloom. The one comforting reflection in this "stalemate" election is that tbe great majority of tho Lihour following have little, any" sympathy with the unequivocal Republicanism of the Nationalists. But tho temptation for a party suddenly nnrl unexpectedly thrust into the position of. holding the balance of power to squeeze Smuts will bo great. Will he pay tho price I doubt it.

After all, we havo -gut back to the position, so often urged in these columns, that the only salvation for South Africa lies in tho fusion of the Smuts party and tbe Unionists. Perhaps the moderate Dutch will now recognise this and realise Smuts' dream of the union of the beert Dutch and British elements. This electoral disaster was invited. Tho South African Party and the Unionists worked independently, often in actual conflict. It was -a hlunder of the first magnitude.

What will Smuts do.

in this dilemma? He must face the newly elected House. There are certain financial and other measures which arc necessary to sustained Government, and must be passed. Meanwhile ihe prophets are busy predicting a Nationalist-Labour combination and all sorts of conspiracies to "smash Smuts." But it is wiser to tread warily and await further and more definite information. Tho one happy thing emerging from this welter is that Republicanism is scotched, if not killed, and I trust to Smuts's incomparable gifts of statecraft to find a way ont," even if, in a short time, he makes a further appeal to the country. This has been tho dangerous mistake of the Mjajoritarians and Democrats.

"And tho third realisation of the facts will bo that of the Kevolutionary Opposition whose mdsta.ko was to flunk that tho country could- bo carried into the sort of revolutionary reform they desired by sotting up a Council system, which would control the ordinary Constitutional Government, but would not acoc.pt the responsibility of the actual ATTITUDE OF HINDENBTJBG. Discussing tho attitude of IEndenburg, Mr. Young said His is vary much the attitude of any candidate for tho American Presidency, that is to say, one of receptivity tempered by reluctance to prejudice by premature action any possible chances ho may have. "A curious result of tho coup d'etat in regard to its probable object of making bom president has boon that of restoring the German Constitution.

It was seldom that anything happened before Morant knew of its immuienee, and before he had, had time to consider what p'neo it would tako in the coordination of similar and ancillary services. He knew that the only hope of real" progress was united and co-ordinated effort.

But this vision of commenced far earlier. It had bien -taking shape in his mind for some years, when in the sprilng of 1907 he first met Dr. George Newman (as he was then tty'cd). By this meeting two complementary personalities dompany, and a life-'ong friendship was established.

It is no exaggeration to say that this friendship woa scaled by the embodiment of a vision common to in the terms, of the famous Circular (No. 576, of November, 1907) of the Board of Education, which was called for eome time The Children's Charter."

It will be all the more difficult for us to refrain, because intervention in the ordinary sense of the word will not be necessary. There need be no question of moving a division or a destroyer.
