Wherever Queen Alexander goes the question that is more frequent- ly heard than any other is, "Who is the dear old gentleman with Her Majesty Z" Sitting opposite the Queen Mother in her carriage on all occasions is the grand old man with the patriarchal white beard, and when on state occasions the Victor- ia Cross catches all eyes upon his breast curiosity as to his personal- ity is great. . This is General Sir Dighton Pro- hyn, KC., K.C.B., G.C.V.O., Ii.t'.S.1. Though well over 80, this handsome military patriarch loses none of his youthful ardor when "on guard" over the King's mother, and the high position accorded him in the entourage of Queen Alexandra has been well won, not only by many years of faithful watchtulness over the destinies of the royal fam- ilv, but by moat distinguished ser- vices to the country as an army of- freer. . For a long time he was keeper of Her Majesty's privy purse. Queen Tictoria's personal household con- sisted of twenty persons. Under King Edward the number was cat down to twelve. Throughout the reign Sir Dighton kept his place, but with the accession of King George, and the necessity of the widowed Queen Alexandra having old faces to whom she had grown attached about her in her separate household. Sir Dighton willingly re- linquished his post in order to give the Queen Mother the comfort of his presence near her on all state occasions. And none outside the royal entourage know how absolute- ly Queen Alexandra relies upon the old Y.C. hero for ensuring her puss-11‘s] ébmfort and safe conduct in her daily jaunts about London and elsewhere.

EH Observation mines are controlled from a distant observation station, generally on shore, and fired by electricity when the target arrives over the mine. These mines are usually only about 10 feet under the water and this method is some- times called judgment firing.

J. Balfour tgevet" al years ago in arguing against, the declaration of London. The declar- ation will prevent America from contributing prominently to the re- lief of war-ridden nations. England expects to gain by her treaty with Russia more than she will have' lost through the restricted relations with the United States, and maybe in that she has shown wisdom. That remains to be determined. It is the most serious problem England has to consider, the con- tinuance of her food supply. With her it is not a. question of quality. Hence little attention is paid there to the purity of foods. The food laws are lax and inadequately en- forced. Chemical preservatives are used freely. A report of the Local Government Board of Scotland shows that of three hundred and fifty-two samples of British origin submitted to chemical analysis. one hundred and fifty-eight were found to contain boron compounds, and twelve preservative sulphites. Any means of obtaining the requisite amount of food and making them keep as long as possible is welcome in England.

The way to America is long and perilous. This perhaps is the cause of certain articles in the Declaratiun of London. It helps to explain the cause of England's alliance with Russia Bo.soon after the Russo-Japanese war, when we found her a firm ally of Japan. Britain's main source of supply in case of war will be Russia and the British colonies that are not um far distant. Austria-Hungary is a treat food producing country herself, but no- thing to compare with Ituria. Then the art of agriculture is tut poorly developed there. In many parts the people are almost in a state of semi-civilization. It is I country where the women go barefoot end do most of the work, while the men drink beer. In nearly all respects the nation is far behind the other great powers of the world. Italy is largely dependent on outside sources for her food supply and is a very weak nation from many stand- points. Germany's alliance with Austria, like England', with Russia, is for the purpose of assuring a food sup- ply in case of war. Austria-Hun- gary is Germany's cupboard, and Russia. is England's.
