besides, he will thus become an effective agent of propaganda in favor of his national industey.The office has arranged with all the large associations of merchants and manufcturers in Germany, as well as with the different federations, unions, syndicates and co-operatives, either of workmen or employers, to have regular repocts placed at the disposal of the information agents in foreign countries.Personnel of the Office.It is understood that outeide its regular service, the office furnishes oll the particular information demanded, It will tesue pamphlets upos Kconomicad Activity in Foreign Countries.The personnel of the office is chosen so as to be equal to ity task; the greater part beng recruited amonget merchants snd manufactur ors understanding perfectly foreign countries and forsign methode.The wéministrative council especially, will include from 30 to 30 techniciens of ecommerce and industry and oniy five or eix officiale of the different min- dotries.This adminietrative counchl will heve an extended authority, and will be able to take decirinne.This is an institution \u2014 smd there ége stil] others\u2014which is significant of the orientation of that new Gerwhich wishes to try sod repair evil which wee dus fo the sword, e |-surne.As a matter of fact, Frith MOST POPULAR OF ENGLISH PAINTINGS SOMBTRING REFRESHING IN FRITH'S \u201cDERBY DAY\u201d AT NATIONAL GALLERY IN LONDON.There 13 something almost refreshing in the idea of Frish's \u201cDerby Day\u201d in the National Gallery, in London, surrounded by a large, appreciative crowd.A crowd which, according to Mr.Joseph Bannister, the writer of a letter to the Athenacum, is at least fifty years old.It has assembled day by day, for half a century, and :t is safe to say has been composed of much the same elements throughout.Young Mr.Baanister, 2ged something very small, was taken to the National Gallery some time in the six\u2018ies; so thick was the crowd round the \u201cDerby Day\u201d that his mother had to hold him up to sec the picture.Recently he revisited the Gallery on, as a matter of fact, the August Bank Holiday.And there he found a crowd as large ss ever hovering over the \u201cDerby Day.\u201d Amougst the crowd he noticed a well-known picture desler, » \u2018capable painter himmlf\u201d so Mr.Bannister says.This dealer aspured him that the \u201cDerby Day\u201d is actually the greatest picture in the great collection, the painting of any one of the figures in it having reguired more artistic skill ther is represented in the entire Whistler picture, which happens to hang beside tie \u201cDerby Day,\u201d bat which the crowd doe; not homor with a single glance.What the People Want Finding what he holds to be vital points raised by Mr.Bannister, another ocorrespundent of the Athenacum contributes his ideas upon the rival merits o.these painters.He is inclined to fall in with the views of Mr.Bannister and the \u201cwell-known picture desler\u201d that the attraction is not in the story alone, but that the \u201cexecutive skill and such character rendering as Frith displayed is what the people want\u201d while Whistler \u201cnever did affect a popular attraction.\u201d And it really seems as thought all this might be right.No picture of Whistler's ever called for a rail to protect it from the crowd as did the \u201cDerby Day\u201d when it was exhibited in 1838.Perbaps Frith's brother acadentician .who whs heard to :uclatm.\u201cThere's no hope for art in this country when the people are so besotted as to crowd round a thing like that\u201d could not deny #t eitter.nor a few other of the critics of Frith's time.Frith ve.Whistler Whistler would have perfectly agreed with Mr.Bannister, with the well-known picture dealer and with Mr.W.R.Bland, th writer of the second letter, on two points; he could no: have painted the \u201cDerby Day\u201d aor the Railway Station\u2019; and neither could Frith,\u201d as Mr.Bland admits, have painted a noc- who gave evidence in the famou: Hbel case, Ruskin v.Whistlertied that the \u201cFalling Rocket\u201d was \u201cnot a terious work of art,\u201d and at ihe same time declared that in Whistler's \u201cBattersea Bridge\u201d he \u201coou'd not see anthing of the true representation of water and atmosphere.\u201d Thus, honest Mr.Frith vas MAY NOW BE BUILT FRENCH NLUOTIATIONS WITH BRITISH, INTERRUPTED SINCE 1876 ARE TO BE RESUMED.Paris, France Oct.3\u2014The vast prose:: où the channel tunnel which has raised so many impassioned con- truversies on both sides of the straits but especially in kaxland, scems sbout tu be accmopisned.At any rate a great step has been taken toward its realiztion, and the negotiations vith the British Government wiiich had been interrupted since 1876 are to be resumed with every chance of success.It was by a law of Aug, 3, 1878, that the French state approved the project for a tunnel] under the channel.This project stipulated that a tunne; should be bored under the bed of the channel from Sangatte to a point on the English coast near Dover, knowa as \u201cShakesneare\u2019s Cliff.\u201d Work was at once h: Rl both sides of the channel.French side a gallery of 1 k 500 meters was dug.At the present moment the nel Works\u201d it Sangatte still c:.wi fronh.that! point that Lai tried (to fly \u2018to England, and fo i thence -Blariot etarted 10 years vue when Hé made the first aerial crossing of the drannel.Public Opinion Against It As is known, the project of 1873 ; feh through on account of the oppo; sition of British public opinion.The ! English Government did, indeed, pre- scant a bill to the House of Commons but was obliged to withdraw it al-| most immediately.So things re-© masned.However years passed by, the | entente cordisie was concluded and: already a change of opinon was nos! ticed in favor of the tunnel.Then came the war, and the Franco-, British friendship developed to such! an extent, that the project which had been so véolentiy discussed in 1875 seeemd to have became almost a, necessity.! Accordingly, Mr.Claveille, Minister of Public Works, in September, | 1918, appointed a committee to study | the construction of the tuneel.This committe: examined the question from the economic, juridical.and | ; iechnical points \u2018of view.The repurt of this committee, which ms only just heen handed to | Mr.Clavelle, favors a renewal of the | :parleys with England for the execu-.jen of | the project which the learned ! experts who are members of the.committees propose to carry out hy | the moat perfect modern processes.If the suggestion of the committee are adopted definitely, the tunnel will ; have.tw cylindrical galleries, 6 meters in diameter.The interior of these galleries will be lined with 1-uded beton.The length of the sub.! marine road will be 53 kilometers.' The choice of the modes of traction {han been studied at length; and the - the fewest inconveniences.| © After having read the report of the - conmittee which he had appointed.Mr.Ciavelle, on July 31 wrote to the ; French Association for the submar- : | ine tunnel, which ig still qualified to! carry out the project.In this letter.\u201cployed?there are ADVERSE CRITICISM OF QUEBEC STREET RAILWAY Quebec, 3nd October, 1919 To the Editor of The Morning Chronicle,\u2019 Sir:\u2014The Public, no doubt have read with interest the severa] letters, and Editorials, in your journal, on the question of increased Street Car fore in our City.Assimilated they fait to give the true position of the Q.R.L., H.& P.Co.nor any tangible reason, why the Citizens of Quebec, should be called upon to pay an in creased fare, for, at the most, a 16 or 2 minutes drive.True other City Tramways have increased or are making an effort to increase the fares, but one must not lose sight of the fact that the public or patrons of these Car lines have the advantage of right of way over a Car system of at least ten miles or more.The advance in weges and cost of material sounds plausible.At the same time, Au fond, other Dbarnecles are the real cause why revenue and ex penditure don't meet.Is the Company exercising an efficient supervision over their works, and the Staff em- individuals who venture to express the opinion, there 3 a great lack of combination work, rat an over supply of help is main- ined, and high snlaried employees are more occupied in looking after their own interests in other electric adjuncts.It is admitted the Company has a very heavy and continuous demand on their exchequer, which the citizens of Quebec, have no right to shoulder, particularly as the position of the Company to-day is altogéther the result of mis-management.Take today the actual cost of maintainance; deducting the amount from receipts from all Revenue bearing sources.a handsome balance must de in evidence.Years ago the the original Company committed a grave error, when they sold to the Montmorency Cotton Co.their birthright for 2 mess of pottage; later, they turned down the Jacques-Cartier River Water Power, allowing a few Americans to purchase, thereby creating an active opposition to the Montmorency Water Power.This Power they afterwards purchased at an enormous cost including tue Control of the City Gas System, making the original owners of the Jacques-Cartier Power millionaires.The result of the expropriation of the Quebec Gas Property at the Palais, was a miserable failure, resulting in a loss to the Company of thousands of dollars: bad the management left the expropriation enquiry before the Lxchequer Court in the hands vf Quebec legal experts who knew the value of the Property, the result in dollars and cents might have been more to their advantage.We have also in the centre of our City, the Merger Building.a cosy edifice totally beyond the means of the Company, the revenue therefrom probably not sufficient to pay the City taxes, and crected notwith- y adoption of electric traction has been sianding \u2018he fact that at the time of : finally decided upon, as thi seems (9 huiid'ng the Company had other pro- ©8- present the greatest advantage and perties b affording ample office space for all their requirements.The Company in the pas has sui- fered from an over opinated idea of their own resourcefulness, fighting shy of suggestions demonstrated by facts and Figures wherehy money oucc so pleured by royal recognition ' he Minister of Public Works asked !

Commenting on the fact taht a col- \"lector of objects that have acquired interest because of some past use recently paid $87.50 for the hed in which the Prince of Wales, afterward Edward VIT, siept when he visited Boston in 1880, an American ncws- paner prints and odd and interesting list of similar purchases.Once $1,500 was paid for a char in which Washington snd Jackson had sat-\u2014not together, for in that case it wold presumably have been worth even more; $700 was once paid tor a bed that had belonged to John Wesley; $4.500 was paid for a letter written by Mary Queen of Scots: $600 for Marat's bath tub; $440 for the wig worn bw Immanuel Kent while meditating his philosophy; and $1,000 for the wig under which Laurence Sterne lucubrated the sharacter of Uncle Toby.One may

ist.Bond holders of the Street Railway were the men who fitanced the building of the road and made a handsome profit.Subsequent amalgamations were equally profit sble to both Share and Bond holders, To give an example how these Companies manipulate heir Stock and Bond issue.in Montreal some few years ago the Montreal Street Raïway became the Montreal Tramway Company, when Holders of Stock in the former were treated in this way: for 37 shares the owner received $7.160.25; je.Cash $2,369.28 balance ir Debenture and Common Stock.The close proximity of Municipal elections should make the present Council hesitate before commini g the Citizens to the burden of extra car fares.In any new agreement the tax payer hopes free rides on the cars for Alderman and Civic em.ployces will be eliminated and the Company made to remove the snow from the car track and cart it away, or pay the several house holders on car lines an equivalent to the pre: sent high price snow contractors exact.For the

The production of Verdi's Opera \u201cRigoletto\u201d last evening at the Auditorium by the San Carlo Opera Company was given an excellent rendering and was enthusiasticaly received by a capacity house.The text of the plot by Piave, adapt: ed from Victor Hugo's \u201cLe Roi s'\u2019Amuse,\u201d is a gruesome one, and contains sufficient material for a number of operas.The opera is one of the earliest of Verdi's dating from 1861, but still holds the boards in the face af all modernism, Queena Mario, as Gilda,\" and Guisseppi Agostini as \u201cThe Duke\u201d received an ovation on the conclusion of their duet in the second act.Their individual parts were weil taken, particularly \u201cCara Nome\".by Miss Mario, and \u201cLa donna \u20ac Mobile\u201d by Mr.Agostini, both of which gained insistent demands for encores.V.Ballester as \u201cRigoletto,\u201d carried through his exacting role with great fluency.His very fine baritone voice was given fuil play, and was equai to all demands upon it.Mr.Ballester wakes an ideal \u201cRigoletto\u201d and had the audience with him throughout the evening.Leon Rothier as \u201cSparafucile\u201d was dominating during the short scenes in which he appeared.There is not scope in the role for Mr.Rothier's | well-known ability, which had more chance for full play as \u201cMephistopheles\u201d ig Faust, but his magnificent voiced theflled the audience.The other parts were well taken.Natale Cervi as \u201cMonteroni,\u201d Stella DeMette as \u201cMaddalena\u201d assisted in making the cast well-balanced and of outstanding merit.The -chorus was good particular in the opening scene.Maestro Gaetano Merola ad complete control of the Orchestra and singers at alt times, and the resuit was a noteworthy performance.The costumes and the setting of the first scene were noficeably drilliant.The warning given by the mamage- ment of the Auditorium had evidently a gnod effect upon those in the pit, who had caused annoyance on pre- vinus evenings, which made the entertainment all the more enjoyable.On the other hand there are certain people who occupy orchestra seats who display a lack of good manners by mwintsining a constant\u2019
