Heved in a square deal for every man' i; London, May 29.--The Times, in is first editorial devoted to General Currie, Canadian commander, says his Mansion House speech is a model for such an occasion. "Perhaps there never has been a civic occasion more distinguished by this felicity of a soldier's way of ac- knowledging a toast to his health. London and the British people may tell George Currie, without flattery, that his putting into clear and vigor- ous words what his men have been thinking in Europe and will be think- ing when' they return home, gather- ing a read Imperial event . He threw a searchlight ypon the hidden future of the states of the Empire." Echoing General Currie, the Times declares the Dominions have earned for themselves the status of nations. "Rvery suggestion of inferiority must be removed and machinery should be created which, in General Currie's words, will make out of the Empire a constellation of nations, free and equal, uaited by goodwill, with common ideals, and reciprocal confidence, under one flag and one King." . The Times chides the British statesmen and parliamentarians with hesitanéy in doing more than lip-service to these truths. It agrees witht Gen. Currfé that although "Fpance is still the crucible in which the metal of ideas is smelted, tested and refined, Britain has been, and the Empire is now, a workship where political ideas of freedom and dem- ocracy are forged, welded amd made workable. This is why the associa. tion of the Dominions with Britain, in ttue quality of partnership, can. not 'be left to be a mere thing of phrases." . During those days of dreadful doubt and despair Mrs. Hawker never lost hope of her husband's safety. "Sunday is my jucky day," she declared: 'we shall have good news." And the world rejoices with her that good news was her portion, Such faithfulness deserv- ed the rich reward that it galhed.

Alderman Oraham, while taking the credit for having saved the city some twg thousand dollars, seems to forget that if his action had been endorsed in the first place, the city would have been poorer by nearly four thousand dollars.

It would be no credit to the cily it the council fafled to provide $350 so that the Victorian Order of Nurses' executive . might continue the 'operation of the Child Welfare Station. The executive appealed to the people for $1,900 to defray the cost of its work for the year, in- cluding the Child Welfare Station. Eleven hundred dollars was the re- sponse.

" BRITISH WHIG, THURSDAY, T_T pry Restoration of the Monarchy, 1660. May 29---It is probable that no event in the whole long history of England has been attended with more enthusiastic and more general red joicing than the return of Charles 11 to London, which occurre two hun dred and fifty-nine years ago to-day. On May Sth he had been proclaimed King in Westminster Hall, and else- where in London. ~ On May 24th he sailed from The Hague, landing in Dover on the 26th, where he was met by Monk and the city officials, When he reached the Houses of Parliament, "thfough a happy lane of smiling faces," he received from both Houses universal and sincere congratulations and expressions of loyalty. But the task which Charles was called upon to fill did not suit his talents nor his temperament. Indolent, sensual and dissipated by nature, Charles' vices had greatly increased during his resi- dence abroad, 'and were now to sur- pass all bounds of decency and con- trol. His long residence abroad and his foreign blood made him far from feeling at home on his arrival. He was ignordnt of the language, & fe cret foe of the established religion, and quite unmoved by any feeling of patriotism towards the land over which he was called upon to rule. The Commons were not niggardly, and immediately granted the King the enormous revepue of $6,600,000, hut this did not suffice him nor did it sat- isfy the army of sycophants with whicli he surrounded himself. Per- haps the single statesmanlike act' o: his reign was his arranging of the marriage between Willlam of Orangé and the Princess Mary, a union which was to have an important in- fluence on England's history. His reign wis spent in'dissipation, and is chiefly memorable for the long series of quarrels that took place between the King and parliament. Yet his tact and cleverness tended to make the monarchy more popular than ever, and the discovery of the Rye House plot was the signal for another outburst of loyal enthusiasm. He died without legitimate offspring. 4 &@ Gratitude 1s too often but a fer- vid expectation of favors to come. to the high cost council can easily af $350.

Much Mght is thrown on the per- plexing situation in Egypt by a well informed correspondent of the New Statesman, London. That the Bri- ish torees under General Allenby can hold the country in control is, he says, 'beyond question. The numbér of troops is ample, and 4 beaten foe has only two resources-- to retreat into the desert or up the narrow Nile Valley, in either of which cases his military subjugas tion is easy. -But a question more pertinent and interesting Is, Why should Egypt be In revolt at all? Why, after thirty years of peacs- fully accepting British rule, should the country suddenly flame up into fnsurrection? The writer referred to rejects the story which has had most promin- ence in the British press--that the revolt has been the action of a little clique 'of Cairo Nationalists and has had no real country-wide signifi cance.
