Stead will be well aware that the attack, published in the Matin, on his alleged interview with the spirit of the late M. Lefebvc. the aviator who recently met with such a sad death, would not have to wait long for a reply. Accordingly, in last Wednesday’s issue of that journal there ap peared, with eye-arresting headings, a two-column c uuiP'r-blast from Mr. Stead, a counter-blast which, 1 venture to think, is a “corker,” as it is said in the Vulgate. I hold no brief for the intrepid explorer of the spook-world, but I admire his sturdy enthusiasm Mr. Stead remarks that he has the greatest respect for all the objections which have been brought for- waid, and points out that he is not a dogmatist, but an experimentalist, open to reason from whatever source. He certainly scores a magnificent point over M. Lambert in regard to the damaged motor of the aeroplane, and clearly proves that, on this point, the spirit v as much better informed than Lefebvre’s em ployer. Why the motor failed has been a mvsterv ever siive the accident, and Mr. Stead assumes that Lefebvre, as the only person who could speak authori tatively, was anxious to inform his friends of what had actually occurred. The spirit, as they say <n the ghost-stories, could not “rest.” Concerning M. Lambert’s attacks on the good faith of the Julia bureau, and to the unlikelihood of a once-promising civil-engineering pupil describing him self as a* “niecanicien’’ r mltK^s^sr^F^ma^me-dfiv- ing,” Mr Stead observes that when spirits pass to the Other Side they are seldom so particular in re gard to the exact nature of their earthly callings .<s they arc in this world. The petty conceits of this sphere trouble them no more. Trades and profes sions are of no further importance. Mr. Stead recall; an evasion when he doubted the authenticity of a message concerning the future of Austria-Hung irv. because it was signed simply “Otto von Bismarck,” which was not exactly Bismarck’s way of doing things when he ruled as prince and chancellor. Mr. Stead’s doubts were dissolved when the reply came to him, pat as a bullet on the target: “In the spirit-world I ant no more than Otto von Bismarck !” What a vista of possibilities is opened up for us by this little anecdote of the ingenuous Mr. Stead ! When enquiries were made about the mundane occupation of Lefebvre’s spirit, it said that he was connect. :1 with aviation, and had been dead some time. Mr. Stead thought that he was dealing with Montgolfier, or one of the early balloonists, but the spirit In stealing that he was a “mecanicien” merely made clear the difference between the aeronaut and the aero- planist. One up against M. Lambert! Touching Lefebvre’s ignorance of English, Mr. Stead avers that what the spirit meant to say was that he knew only a few words of English, such as “Yes,” “No,” “All right,” “How are you,” etc., but that he could not sustain a conversation, and therefore our esteemed journalist thinks that he was justified in saying “Pas beaucoup.” He does not regard this as inconsistent with M. Lambert’s statement that Le febvre did not know r English at all, and could not read an ordinary English text. Another “downer” to M. Lambert! Lefebvre still Lives. Mr. Stead strongly denies that anything in his word;, could be taken to mean that Lefebvre, when the accident occurred, was rendered helpless by terror. All thai the spirit declared to him was that, apart from the swift sensation of falling, it had no know ledge of what had happened until it awoke from this paralysis of the perceptions and saw' the broken ma chine down below. The spirit, of course, was then free from the body. According to this, Mr. Stead assumes that Lefebvre was first stunned by the shock Relchs strasse 2 Telephone 2456 Mixed Drink* * Port - Sherry Cobier - # HA CU LAI ///W.p^ dc whisky & Soda, Cognac, as well as Port, Sherry etc. in glasses!

It all happened so quick ly lhai there could have been hardly time to feel sensations of any kind, fear or otherwise. Mr. Stead therefore airily dismisses the more categorical ob jections of M. Lambert and deals with the one which has occurred to most of the French debaters in this remarkable discussion:—“Why did Lefebvre not com municate with his relatives or French friends, instead of opening up negotiations with Julia?” A one-eyed cynic could easily see what opportunities for pro paganda this opens up for Mr. Stead. The first reason was that the sorrow of the rela tives, bv its very stress, formed a temporary but in- sutm' unLable barrier, and this barrier would exist until the mourners had dried their tears and accepted their loss with submission. The second reason is still more powerful. When you wish to telephone to a friend who does not happen to possess the ne cessary instrument, you telephone to the nearest per son who has a telephonic receiver. This, as wo say in England, is where Julia “comes in.” She runs the only bureau of its kind on this planet, and don’t you forget it 1 She is always there to hitch up sorrowing relatives with the dear departeds. Mr. Stead expresses his regret that the publica tion of the famous “interview'” should have caused pain to those who were mourning Lefebvre, but he does not think that his declaration, made in such ex cellent good faith, could be anything but a consolation to them. It proves in effect:—(1) that Lefebvre is still living, (2) that he did not suffer at his death, (3) that he has been capable of establishing communi cation with this world, and that probably, sooner or later, he will enter into communication with his in- intimate friends. Mr. Stead also states that the expenses of the “Julia” bureau are defrayed entirely out of his own pocket, and that its annual cost to him is £1,000. One must pay for luxuries. And now, in the vvords of Lord Rosebery, when he came forth from his furrow in a recent national crisis: “What do you think of it?” G. A. A. By appointment to the Saxon Court. NEWS OF THE WORLD. The Biitish Board of Trade returns for the month of September were issued late on Thursday after noon. The imports amounted to £49,473,546, com pared vdth £48,014,655 in the same month last vear (or an increase of £1,458,891), and with £45,33 5,451 in the same month of 1907 (or an increase of £1,138.095). The exports for the month amounted to £32,801,024, an increase of £1,179,818, compared with £31,621,206 in September last year, but a de crease of £2,355,296 when compared with £35,156,320 in the corresponding month of 1907. For the nine months ended September 30, the imports amounted to £149,777,616, which is an increase of £13,999.185 when compared with the corresponding nine months of last year, but a decrease of £25,355,257 when com pared wuth the same period in 1907. The exports during the nine months under review totalled £277,337,314, a decrease of £8,325,688 when com pared with last year, and of £41,943,850 when com pared with 1907. Durmg the forthcoming Michaelmas term Mr. J. M. Barrie, the well-known novelist, will apply in the Divorce Court for a dissolution of his marriage. The case wiii appear in the list as Barrie v. Barrie and Cannan. Mr. Barrie was married in 1891 to Vliss Mary Ansell, who appeared in his play, “Walker, London.” According to a New York cablegram, the death has taken place at Brooklyn of the organist and composer, Mr. Dudley Buck. Though the best work of the deceased was accomplished as a composer of orchestral and organ music, he wrote many admirable and popular glees and other vocal music, and by this branch of his art Mr. Buck will be remembered in England.. The deceased, who studied at the lead ing foreign academies, had done practically nothing for several years past. He was in his 71st year. It has just leaked out that a few days ago Mrs. Robinson Rea, the sister of Senator George Oliver, was robbed at Pittsburg (Pa.) of jewels valued at over £100,000. The theft was for certain reasons kept secret. Other ladies in the same town have also been robbed of their jewellery, and it is be lieved that the thefts have been committed by in organised gang of foreign thieves, who have ob tained situations in various hotels in the United States. In conformity with the ancient proverb that a certain class of irresponsible people rush in where angels fear to tread, Mr. Winston Churchill has dashed valiantly into the grave crisis now threaten ing the existence of the present British Government. Neither the significant silence of his superiors nor rhe broad hints thrown out from the Cabinet that the time for public declamation has not arrived pre vented Mr. Churchill, in his capacity as President of the Board of Trade, from delivering a fighting speech at London on Friday evening, in the course of which he said it was inconceivable that the Peers should throw out the Finance Bill. A refusal bv the Lords to pass the Budget, he continued, would constitute an act of violence against the Constitution, and would be nothing less than a claim on the part of the Upper House to make and unmake Govern ments. The Government, concluded this verbal fire- eater, would enter into no sort of compromise with the Peers. We must not pay too much attention to Mr. Churchill’s flamboyant utterances, since they have a habit of being tacitly contradicted bv his colleagues in the Cabinet on the following’day Winston is a young man possessed of high ambition and nu unbridled tongue, but if he is really become the oracle of the Liberal party, then that party deserves all that is in store for it at the polls.
