This con gress, which will last for three days, | will indeed be a romance of realism. All mankind will then assemble in| leouncil in the very heart of the British | Empire. i The originator of this congrege is | Dr. Felix Adler, of Columbia Univer | ity, in New York. In the summer of 190068 a conferemce was convened at! Bisenach, when it was declared that, though the modern conscience had ad- vanced in general sensitiveness and @trength, it Is, nevertheless, interna. | tionally weak. The modern conicience | 1s indeed fast becoming alive to what | are knewn as social problems in the interior life of the community, yet it/ Jas not learned to apply itsell with! 'adequate power to the problems pre | ®ented by. radical divisions. In order to remedy this growing evil, the Uni | versal Races Congress will be con-| Wvened in London, and its prime object | will be to cultivate mutual knowledge | and respect between Occidental and | ! . nid Oriental peoples. The British Govern: | ment has given this congress its moral and material support, and all the Invi ations to the foreign States have been despatched through the agency of the 'oreign Office. : The great number of races that will Lg represented may be gathered from ET that some fifty countries have : sed to send delegates. There "ill be present over twenty-five presi ents of parliaments, the majority of 1 members of the permanent Cour «{ Arbitration, and of the delegates to tae second Hague Conference, twelve Aritish governors, eight British Prem- iors, over forly colonial' bishops, abou cme hundred professors of interna ional law, the leading anthropolo- cists and soclologists, the officers and majority of the council of the Inter Parliamentary Union, and other dis tinguished personages. Among thos» vho will read papers will b> several srominent Hebrews. Mr. Israel Zangwill will discourses on Jews among the nations; Dr. IL. Zamanhof, the author of Esperanto, will" discourse an international guage; and Mr. Edwin DD, Mead, of Hoston, Director of the International School of Peace, will spak or the organization of a world association for encouraging interracial gocdwill.

PRINCE EDWARD GOES T0 OXFORD Some of the Rule: and. Regulations Our Future King Will Have to Obey 4 As it has been officially decided chat the Prince of Wales is to go "up" to Oxford for a couple of years, it will doubtless be interesting to know what the young Prince will have to go through during his college career. In the first place, before being admitted he will have to pass an examination known as "Smalls" In this he will have no difficulty, because It is really no harder than the examination he passed & few years ago before enter ing Osborne. The only difference is that in "Smalls" the student has to | "take" Greek whether he likes it or This is immediately followed by another examination known as "matri- culation," which is set by the college --not by the University--and is in most cases easier to pass than the "Smalls'.' His preliminary evaminations pass ed, it is probable that His Royal High- ness will enter into the social life of Oxford with that whole-heartedness that was so marked a characteristic of his grandfather. The young prince will doubtless find some of the regulations a trifle exact For instance, he will have to be fully dressed and ready to "keep" chapel at eight o'clock----il not every morning, at least four days a week. Chapel lasts about twenty minutes, From eight-forty-five till ten he will breakfast. This may seem rather long time for breakiast, but it must not be forgottem that "Varsity break: fast is as important & meal as dinner, and generally comprises four or five courses, as lunch for the most part consists of bread-and-cheese only. Fur this reason breakfast is frequently known as "brunch." From ten till on, with perhaps an hour's interval, he will attend lectures, for which he will have to don "acade miecal dress," which ~onsists of a gown that is a little shorter than the ordin ary lounge-coat, and a "mortar-board.' The afternoon he will have to him- self, and, if he decides to devote him- self seriously to athletics, will be in vited by the various secretaries of the differgnt athletic clubs to "turn tp." a tan LONG: SERMONS AND THE KING Hie Majesty is Willing that Preachers Shall Exceed the Customary Ten Minutes The recognized time for a preacher to occupy the pulpit when preaching before the late King was ten minutes. King George, however, has never quite approved of these very short sermons, and it has been intimated to the chap- lains in ordinary attached to the Royal Household, from whom -the preacher for the morning service at Butking ham Palace is usuvally selected, that their sermons may be of greater jength than they were customarily in the late reign. An intimation of this surt amgunts practically to a com- mand, but it is doubtful if it will be very welcome to some of the chap lains who were in the late King's Household, who have during the past years rarely preached a sermon of more than ten minutes' duration When the King is at. Buckingham Pal- ace on Sunday the preacher for the morhing service is selected by his Majesty; the selection is usually made on Friday, and the chaplain who has been chosen is notitied of the fact by Je Sub-Dean.
