The authorities acted presumably because of the article appearing in on Lord Haldane and declaring Kit- which' was declined. The Globe said the appointment of Lord Haldane to succeed Lord Kitchener would "jeo- pardize the life of the Government." The London Globe, which has been known as the most violent British exponent of old-fashioned Toryism, is the oldest London evening paper, having been founded in 1803. It was once the principal Whig organ, but Was reorganized by a Conservative syndicate in 1866. It has a pink sheet since 1868. In 1907 it was sold to Hildeibrand Harmsworth (younger bréther of Lord Northeliffe), whose wife is a New Brunswicker. It was the first London daily to use the Li- machine. a & Is Torpedoed By British (SpecTil to the Whig.) London, Nov. §.--The .
