CHANCE FOR YOUTH The effect of the war on such a narrow system was dynamic. It is complained that tolerance has become laxity, and that, with the deâ€" struection of most social barriers, standards of behaviour are as out of date as manners or morals. I do not agree. Seum always rises to the surface, so we are apt to hear too much about the ‘fast" or "smart" sets, which are totally unimportant except in so far as they mislead public opinion. The effect of the war on social life generally has been to make work an acknowledged necessity. Society plays more openly than it used to in the days of guarded portals, but it works both harder and more productively.

As Generous "With Their Purses as the Old Aristocracy Before the war society was essenâ€" tially selfish. It was a club with a very small membership, run by a few powerful houses for their own benefit and that of their friends, writes Rosita Forbes in the London Daily Express. Since the war everyone imbued with enterprise and common sense has ceasâ€" ed to look backwards. The dignity and reticence of the Victorian age were doubtless admirâ€" able, but they served no better purâ€" pose than the freemasonry of the preâ€" sent generation. The sole logical reason for the existâ€" ence of a privileged class called soâ€" ciety is that it should compromise all that is best in achievement as well as tradition. From the point of view of any country general welfare and progress, what a man has done or can do is inevitably more important than Before the war society was a preâ€" serve. Even I can remember being told as a child that a certain eminent peer and landowner was a Liberal and therefore, of course, outside the pale as represented by county recognition! Therefore, ancestors have ceas@l to count, except, perhaps, as a stimulus. The war gave youth its chance as much in society as in every other sphere, and youth was not content to divide humanity into strata. The most insistent critics of modern life are those who depended on Vicâ€" torian restrictions for their power or prosperity. These lamert the experiâ€" ments of a generation which is out to find the best wherever and however it has been produced. ‘ who he is or who was his grandâ€" father. Society as a club must be just about as disagreeable to its original memâ€" bers as some Tory stronghold in Pall Mall, its placidity invaded by Socialâ€" But to society as a progressive force, in fact, as a force at all, the war has done nothing but good. Toâ€" day it comprises every intellectual and active element, every shade of political opinion, and every creative impulse on which the nation depends. Today society is a national reserâ€" voir, into which flows all that is most vigorous, whether it be good or bad. LACK OF VENEER. The harm attributed to the war is all on the surface. We hear a great deal about the new plutocracy, but they are as generous with their purses and far less invidious than the old aristocracy.

Inevitably, their places were taken by represenâ€" tatives of what is vaguely known as the middleâ€"class, and these married into families who before 1914 were too selfâ€"sufficient even to have inâ€" vited them to darnces! y It was the middleâ€"class girls who could not marry, becouse their menâ€" folk had followed the natural impulse to compete for the biggest available prizes. Anothéer result of the war was to put a great many fortuncs into the hands of women. into one playground or one labor mart So many heirs were killed and their sisters, who would normally have been content with the pittance allowed to female children by our system of primogeniture, found themâ€" selves landowners and free to marry where they wished. Consequently the last ten years have seen a social evolution caused by the infusion of new strains with standards of work and ambition unâ€" known before the war. The effect of such has been even more salutary than the revolution, guided by newly liberated youth which realized that the society Eden grew only one sort oi apple! * With the war was evolved a certain mental elasticity, inseparable from the demands made on feminine as well as masculine adaptability. As long as this endures, society will be fluid rather than static, and, like every other modern comdition, it will be subject to growth. I am myself convinced that most of the evils in the world spring rather from our bad hearts than from our stupid minds. Socrates considered stupidity the cause of wickedness; I should say rather that wickeduess is the cause of stupidity.â€"Bertrand Russell.

That was more than 400 years ago. s The conversation at the New York end was from the office of Hernand Behn, executive viceâ€"president of the International Telephone & Telegraph Corporation, â€" where Infante Senor Don Alfonso de Orleans, first cousin to the King, and Infanta Senora Dona Beatriz talked with King Alfonso and the Queen Mother, Quéen Cristina, in the royal palace in Madrid.

MAILS RIFLED LAST JUNE Mails aboard the Teviathan were rifled last June, the amount of the loot being variously estimated from $500,â€" 000 to $6,000. New York postal inâ€" spectors at the time said the amount was not more than 5}0.009. C. H. Clarahan, head of the postal inspection service in New York, said that the theft of the Guaranty Trust Company bonds was not discovered "until soeme time after" the Leviathan mail theft in June. The Miners‘ Federation, in its apâ€" peal, says: "The mining population is faced with a catacysm comparable to the destruction wrought by some great earthquake or other giant disturbance of nature. Some of the miners have exhausted their unemployed benefit and are being supported bp> grants from the poor law, which naturally are small, and the courts are filled with stories of hungry miners trampâ€" ing the countryside in search of work. The miners natural reluctance to leave the mines is also responsible for much distress and in the valleys of South Wales their mental attitude makes the transfer of them to other gsreas a difficult undertaking. They are so accustomed to being hedged in between hills that they regard the outâ€" side world as foreign, and it is even difficult to get them to allow their daughters to go to London to work as domestic servants." J. L. O‘Neill, viceâ€"president of the Guaranty Trust Company, said that the dispatch from Vienna was a misâ€" take and that no bonds belonging to the companyâ€" had been stolen on the Leviathan or elsewhere. "We have had no losses of the kind," he said. "I understand that the seâ€" cvrities lost on the Leviathan, though vriginally reported in the millions, were later found to be worth only $10,000 or $20,000." All Political Parties View Unâ€" employment With Utâ€" most Concern London.â€"The plight of unemployed miners in Britain has reached such a serious stage that all political parties are viewing the matter with the utâ€" most concern and the Miners‘ Federaâ€" tion has issued an appeal for assistâ€" ance. Nearly 300,000 mine workers are out of employment, and of these 200,000 to 250,000 constitute a permâ€" anent unemployed surplus. > With their wives and children, this means that over 1,000,000 souls are faced wAth a cataclysm comparable to speedily fortheoming.

Sir Percival cabled: *"The inhabiâ€" tants, both white and black, assemâ€" bled along the route of the Prince‘s special train, showing sympathy for the Prince of Wales.

Pearce, who urged that this system should be uniâ€" versally adopted. Mr. Pearce, who is agent of the Eastern Bengal Railway, was speaking at the twentyâ€"fifth sesâ€" gion of the Indian Railway Conference Association. The problem of tackling labor troubles occupled the greater portion of the presidential address. . Sir Percival then presented a picâ€" ture of the Prince‘s arrival at Darâ€" Esâ€"Salaam: "Tropical darkness, damp and oppressive, enveloped Darâ€"Esâ€" Salaam in its suffocating clasp when the Prince‘s special train entered the station at 8.05 p.m. The Governor, Sir D. C. Cameron, and his chief secâ€" retary were waiting on the platform. The Prince conversed with them earnestly. "The Prince entered his automobile still wearing his safari dress, includâ€" ing a shirt with halfâ€"sleeves and no coat , and a khaki helmet. The watchers then cheered him." Get back as quickly as possible, Mr. Pearce urged, to that personal touch between the employer and the emâ€" ployee that used to characterize railâ€" way working. It was most essential that they should not lose sight of the important fact that India was still a ma hap (patriarchial country) and they must avoid the danger of subâ€" stituting for the old direct personal touch between the District Officer and his staff a system whereby the perâ€" sonal interest of the staff was handled by those who â€"had no personal acâ€" quaintance with his needs. The officer must be imbued with tremendous enthusiasm for his work, He must get out of his office and move about all over his section of the railway, so that not only would he know practically every man indiâ€" vidually, but, what was quite as imâ€" portant, he might be known by the staff. This might sound Utopian, but he was convinced that it was worthâ€" while trying, so that there might be an end to the suspicion that often expressed itself in labor unrest. "The Prince descended the steps to the street into the glare of a single electric lamp. He paused and looked in wonderment at the #cene.

They were dolivered in a, specially equipped studio situated in the Secretariat of the League of Naâ€" tions at Geneva and were relayed over telephone wires through Switeâ€" erland, Germany and Molland to the broadcasting stations. In each language a request was made for those hearing the broadcast to notify Geneva, and as a result 92 reports, were received sixtyâ€"fve per cent, of which stated that good or exâ€" cellent reception had hbeen obtained.
