SHELVING LORD KITCHENER. Lord Kitchener, it transpires, is no longer a member of the Imperial Defence Committee. His presence there, we take it, would have given that body a somewhat military appearance, and in these daye one cannot be too careful of our enemies' susceptibilities.— "Punch." " SON OF THE DEVIL." "The London Observer" of Sunday last reprinted the following paragraph from its issue of July 17, 1810 —just 100 years ago:— "In the massacre of the crew of the Boyd by the savages of New Zealand, it appears that the boy Davison, who was saved, owed the preservation of his life to his being club-footed, the natives taking him for the son of the Devil!" "WIRELESS" AT SEA. The Shaw-Savill liner Athenie, which leaves for New Zealand to-day, has just been fitted with a wireless telegraphy apparatus, similar to that already installed on the lonic and the Corinthic. If the bill introduced into the House of Commons by Sir E. Sassoon becomes law, the wireless equipment of passenger steamers will become compulsory. A penalty of £1,000 is proposed in the case of an ocean-going passenger steamer leaving, a British port without a wireless equipment -when fifty or more pa3eenger isare on board. The bill will exempt vessels plying between British and Irish ports not more than 200 miles apart. SCOTS AND THE ACCESSION OATH. Mr. J. Cathcart Wason, M.P., erstwhile of New Zealand, presided this week over a meeting of 40 Scottish members of Parliament to receive a deputation representing the Scottish Churches and Edinburgh workingmen on the subject of the proposed change in the Accession Declaration. The deputation, which was introduced by Lord Kinnaird, urged very strongly that no change should be made in the present Declaration other than the excision of the words "offensive to Roman Catholics." After the deputation had -withdrawn, the Scottish members passed a resolution urging the Government to re-consider the terms of the proposed Declaration dn their new bill. BAOING NEWB.
