Assaults on statues, so common in history, have been rare things in reactionaries and saved the Duma from extinction. But if there is nothing as a rule sensational about these meetings they serve a most important purpose, for they bring politicians from different countries together and provide such an opportunity as can be found nowhere else for mutual instruction. How much in the ordinary way does a British M.P. know about the views of Dutch or Swedish statesmen on the mandate system, or the reforms that are discussed in Austria or Denmark, or the grievances that rankle most in Germany, or the difficulties in men swore levenae. icked men ot nis 7 tnvn tribe, the Mati-in Albania the the Duke of Montrose, took plare this week, policy," should ally herself with Germany and so restore the balance of power in Europe.

Such an alliance would be as surely calamitous as a new-entente with France. For England the choice is now no longer between Continental alliances and splendid isolation. Something that is neither is possible now in a way hardly conceivable before the Great War, when the League of Nations did not exist. Friendship with all countries there must be, and especially with France, although no less with Germany. Contact with Europe there must be also.

It is tragic that, although the Powers who were at war with one another ten years ago are about to sign a Fact for the outlawry of war. there should again be talk of an entente between England and France.

All alliances, all "ententes" are directed against someone and are preparations for war. The "Entente Cordiale" fulfilled its own purpose when the Great War was won. It came to an end at Locarno when the armed forces of England were pledged to support Germany if Bhe were attacked by France, no less than France if she were attacked by Germany. The Entente Cordiale no longer exists, and every wish for its revival or for a "new entente," however cordiale," is either ignorant or mischievous or both, for just as Locarno was the end of the old entente, so would a new entente be the end of Locarno. It may be that in this country talk of a new entente is well-intentioned, the outcome of that Achmed's possible successor if the new Kins zefused to be the obedient vassal cf Icily.

Four of Prishtina's friends were executed, but the Bey himself is living at present as an exile in Vienna. English in Germany. The Marquis came of age on May 2, but as he was then at Oxford the celebrations were postponed until his return to Arran. He is a son of the sixth Duke of Montrose, and his mother is the only child of the twelfth Duke of Hamilton, who was heir male of the house of Douglas. Through his mother the Marquis is descended from Jamea whose dauchter, the Princess who take part in its administration! Yet we live under a system of world politics which demands an instructed and sympathetic public opinion on all Buch questions.

The Inter-Parliamentary Union is in this sense more important than it was before the war, for it helps to make the League of Nations an effective power. As one of the interesting post-war London until the last year or two, when they began with the disfiguring of Mr. Epstein's Hudson Memorial in Hyde Park, and now the vandals have tarred and feathered Frampton's "Peter Pan." How they could have the heart to disfigure so innocent and pretty a little toy as that piping figure one cannot conceive. Even the surmise that Eima herself, after long brooding in her recess over her wrongs, went out and biffed the statue nearest to her in distance and farthest from her aa an art conception cannot be entertained. Rima was defaced with green paint, Peter with black, but there can be no significance in the colour, as there is when a William of Orange statue in Dublin is painted green.

The cleaning of the Peter Pan statue should offer no difficulties, but the patina of the bronze may suffer to some degree. It cannot be a vci difficult thing for any active group oi bright young idiots to deface any statue in London, for the decorations of a city are protected by the decency of the citizens more than by the power of the police. For that reason the punishment when the culprits arc caught should be all the sharper. Women Visitors to Geneva.

that will warm up to everything that sounds friendly and benevolent. To call what came to be the Franco-British Captain Moss is a Glasgow man and the Governor Smith's Platform. When Mr. Hoover a week ago made his speech of acceptance as Republican candidate for the Presidency the complaint in America was that he had been careful only to reword the generalities of the Republican party platform. At Albany yesterday his opponent, Governor Al Smith, performed the corresponding rite on behalf of his party, and in all probability the criticism will be that the very remarkable and picturesque Democratic champion has been somewhat less forthright and challenging than his supporters were expecting him to be.

This may well be true as regards certain domestic questions such as the protective tariff and relief for the farmers, concerning both of which there is seen to be very little difference between the parties and candidates, but it will be noted that there is a marked contrast between the tone of Mr. Hoover's remarks on the Kellogg Treaty and those made by the Democratic candidate. Dr. Butler, of Columbia University, speaking as a lifelong Republican, has denounced Mr. Hoover because he was content to make only a brief, indifferent reference to the treaty for the renunciation of war.

Governor Smith has done much more than that. Tr; and 1. astern Gormanv What is still more surprising, he son of the late Professor Ahred Moss, ot Morals and Digestion.

Many generations of children have suffered from the theory that what is nasty must be wholesome. No one doubts that rice pudding is nutritious, but in our youth most of us have suspected that the real reason for its compulsory mastication was that we specially disliked it. In the same way we were always forbidden new bread on the ground that it was indigestible, and the virtuouB habit thus inculcated has no doubt remained with many even military alliance an "entente" was certainly clever, but to call it "cordiale" was the inspiration of geinus.

The Inter- schoolbovs and students no longer sjstem under military rules. Laptam Moss learn English in their course as for- "reparation" and punitive expeditions are called sanctions." In the same way the smoother word "entente" conceals the harsh reality. Friendship between France and England cannot be big enough provided that friendship between England and Germany be no smaller. Friendship between the three great democracies England, France, and Germany is the only sure foundation for permanent peace in Europe. A new entente would cut right across this foundation and destroy it utterly.

It is a terrible thought that so many of us may have been unnecessarily denying ourselves one of the most delectahlc of simple luxuries.

Who would ask for caviare if he could eat new bread with Devonshire butter on it? It would be wise, however, not to indulge too freely until new bread is recommended on unimpeachable scientific authority. We may be checked, too, by the remembered effects of a rebellious orgy. But then the quantity on such occasions may have been too great and the mastication too small. The whole matter is lived at St. Monti to take the cure.

unarmed Power like Germany, are working against the peace of Europe. Fiench foreign policy may be shortsighted, but it is also clear-sighted. When the French speak of an entente they do not mean anything vaguely safe or amiable, but something perfectly clear and definite.

For this purpose she maintains not only her own overwhelming military supremacy on the Continent but keeps a ring of armed shortly expected at Geneva are Froken Forchhammer, who will accompany the IN HONOUR OF A FILM STAR.

We are not a conscript country, and to ourselves it is of little immediate moment if trained reserves are excluded from the limitation of armaments on land.

Dog Week. A correspondent writes: 13 to be hoped that the bright spiiits who have been presumably inspired by Baby Week to extend the idea to dogs during the last eek in September will focus part of their canine enthusiasm upon the question whether London is a proper place for dogs at all. Wc are all talking about street noises just now, and certainly not the least contribution to the nuisance is made by the dog who barks unchecked hen he is taken out, perhaps after hours of restraint and often late at night, or the dog who is shut up indoors and left to howl all day on Sunday or Bank Holiday, or the dog who is shut out and barks intermittently on the doorstep, also not infrequently about midnight, to say nothing of the dog that fights another dog round the corner, just out of the sphere of influence, of its controller.

Confronted with the question whether the modern girl pays more for her clothes than did the girl of 1914 the Ministry of Labour, which compiles the index figure of the cost of living, asserts roundly that she does. The tradesmen who minister to her needs maintain on the other hand that she gets better value for her expenditure now than she ever did. For the price which her grandmother paid for a taffeta that became an heirloom she can acquire a whole wardrobe of frocks that are as lightly cast aside as they are cheaply bought. The crinoline and its kind were durable structures. The hoops and bustles, the stately trains and billowing farthingales of a more careful age were lasting assets.

Governor Smith's declaration upon this all-absorbing subject falls into two parts. In the first he delivers, as no Presidential candidate has done before, an earnest and unmistakable judgment upon certain moral results of the imperfectly enforced Dry Law, and in the second he pronounces in favour of the regulation of liquor by the separate States, and demands that the question of some change in the Eighteenth Amendment" to the Constitution should be submitted to the American people. This twofold announcement is a plain appeal to the electorate to make Prohibition a leading issue of the campaign.

It is an appeal that could not have been made in simpler terms. To aBk for regulation by States is to propose the nullification of the Federal Dry Law. To demand the submission of the central question to the whole people is in effect to urgre that the people should sioner said that there was a nasty hill till you knew the way to twist round it.
