When President Roosevelt instituted the “Exchange- Professorship” system between the United States and Germany, everybody hailed the innovation as an im portant factor for the promotion of international har- niony. That motive, we believe, guided Mr. Roosevelt throughout the matter; and there is little doubt that German-American relations have been benefited as a result. There have, of course, been one or two slight clouds on the generally serene horizon, but they were due to individualities rather tfyan to the system itself. Professors are a class apart,^-or should be. They form an international brotherhood, a cos mopolitan fraternity of learned men, whose business it is to spread knowledge and co-operate in the great work of teaching the young idea how to shoot. The very nature of their profession renders it inadvisable for them to have any connection with politics. Thou sands of young minds draw instruction from the aca demical fount, which should accordingly be free from any suspicion of prejudice or partisanship. On the whole, the high ideals of the academical world have been nobly maintained; and for that reason the iso lated exceptions have a significance all their own. Readers of the Daily Record will recollect our re cent report of the Thanksgiving celebration in Berlin, on which occasion Professor Benjamin Ide Wheeler, President of the University of California, who is now in Berlin as an “Exchange-Professor,” delivered him self Of an eloquent oration. Certain passages of his discourse were such as must have been heard with mixed feelings by any English people present. We have no intention of repeating those passages, which we reported in full at the time, but it will be recalled that allusions, the reverse of complimentary,' were made to the British administration and the British people. Shortly afterwards there appeared in our co lumns a letter from an American reader who, quite properly in our opinion, criticised Professor Whegler’s remarks and disproved certain of them. However, taking into consideration the festive occasion on which it occurred, and allowing for patriotic exuberance, this incident by itself might well have been consigned to kindly oblivion. Unfortunately, Professor Wheeler has been “at it” again. Whatever his grievance against England and the. English may be, it is evidently an obsession with him, and must find vent. But the wisdom of displaying this aversion before a German audience is extremely questionable; in fact, it has already drawn some sharp rebukes from even the American press. The following paragraphs, taken from the London Daily News, are perhaps the best possible answer to Professor Wheeler:— 4 . “One can change one’s climate, said a Roman poet, but not one’s mind. But Dr. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, President of the University of California (whom we surmise to have been born on the Ides of March, and named in commemoration of the fact by his en thusiastically republican parents) sets this maxim at naught. Dr. Wheeler is in Germany, and has had occasion to address the Cologne Association of Po litical Science. In the course of that lecture he said concerning his countrymen:— ‘We don’t want to be considered English, nor do we Want to be judged by English standards, as though we were Englishmen. I can say truthfully that no form of alteration in the language spoken in America id more odious to American ears than an imitation oif the speech of the better English class.’- Pfund iiusl. iiinncU milk. 1st quality only; Pasteurised and purified, iherefc'c free from bacilli of any kind.

A San Francisco paper has got hold of this speech of the Doctor’s,' and has unkindly reprinted it, to gether with an address delivered to a meeting of the British-American Union in San Francisco nine years ago, in which Dr. Wheeler said: ‘In some ways then it may be said the United States Torms with“' Australia and Canada and Egypt and India a true part of the greater Britain .... In my mind Anglo-Saxon is not a word that stands for blood, but a word that stands for the ultimate ideals of manhood, and in this you have the true explanation of your British-American union.’ So it seems that Dr. Wheeler has changed his mind with Balfourian alacrity. As an example of the risks of the diplomatic method in speech-making, his case is striking. The moral is that, even if you are President of a University, you ought always to mean what you say. Especially when reporters are present.” For the rest, it is difficult to reconcile Dr. Wheeler’s position in Germany as an ambassador of international friendship and concord with his carping and repeated cricisms of the British nation. Why not enlighten the world as to his grievance. Smouldering fire is more dangerous than an open blaze, and there is certainly some conflagration going on here! NEWS OF THE WORLD. LONDON, Dec. 17.—In order -that the men re quired for Canada’s first cruisers may be trained in readiness by the time these are completed, the British Government is said to be lending two cruisers of the “Apollo’’ type to the Canadian Government!. These training cruisers are expected to arrive in Canadian waters early in the spring; and, as the construction of the Canadian vessels will take nearly a year, they will remain in Canadian waters for a considerable period. The vessels of the “Apollo” type are -cruisers of '3,400 tons, with a speed of 20 knots, and an armament of two 6-inch and six 4.7 quick firers, besides smaller guns. The battery is not so heavy as that of the “Bristol” class, which Canada will build, but the vessels and their guns are sufficient ly akin to those which are to be handled by the Cana dian crews later to afford purposeful training. The ship’s complement is 273 men. COPENHAGEN, Dec. 18.—-A council of the Uni versity of Copenhagen this morning discussed a pre liminary report from the Commission which is at present examining the records of Dr. Fredk. Cook. The proceedings lasted four hours, and the result has been kept secret, but the belief prevails that so far the papers are not considered sufficient to prove Dr. Cook’s claim that he reached the North! Pole.—Central News. WASHINGTON, Saturday.—In spite of reports to the contrary, the State-department has declared that the negotiations between the United States and Mexico regarding Nicaragua are of the friendliest, and that there is not a sign of tension.

VIENNA, Saturday.—The House of Deputies passed the Bill concerning the altered Order of Business in the House, after heated debates, this evening.

PARIS, Monday.—The papers report that Lieutenant Lair, who was recently found guilty of theft by the naval court martial at Toulon, attempted to commit suicide in a terrible fashion in his cell. He broke the water-glass into small bits and put them into his soup.

The pseudo-father was ordered by the Court to sur render the child to its mother.—The judgment means rather a bit of “tough luck” on the young lad w;ho, no doubt, will have a painful sensation of a come down in his new surroundings. ;tr|o MANAGUA, Monday.—The formex ’ Secret^ry ., ojf.
