A conference of educationalists is being held at the University of Lqndch. Sir Oliver Lodge, in an address, said that the war had opened the eyes of the nation to two danger signals:' First they were beset by their foes who were concentrated'' on purely .material?;ideals,. and this had elevated them, to the region of worship and sentiment. Our danger signal was not so soul destroying. Not less bad was the neglect of intfeUecfrual things and "ignorance of-, natural' facta. What had become apparent was the ig-:, norance of the Government classesandof -alt. classes. . Our .courage and personal character alone had saved us. 4 W!iY BRITABN FJIILED A FRANK AMERICAN CRITICISM, -j LONDON, Jan. 3. The York Tribune," in offering good wishes -to the Allies for 191£>, says the toll of British -loss and the record of British failure steadily 1 grew in,: 1915 owing: to incompetent commanders and , incompetent- preparations. The follies of selfish politicians and the mistakes of ignorant patriots continued. Let ns hope that state of affairs has ended .now. kaiser's-Illness' VIRULENT CARBUNCLES. \ LONDON, Jan. 3. The Kaiser contracted on the Russian front a number, of virulent carib uncles, and the .danger of blood-poisoning- has not. been removed. He is bed-ridden, his throat is inflamed, and he is suffering from general -physical depression. New Year demonstrations at the Palace were forbidden: • : . THE THROAT TROUBLE SERIOUS.

(Rec. Jan. 5, 8.20 a.m.)' LONDON, Jan. 4. The - "Daily News" says that despatches from neutral sources in Germany received at Rome state that the Kaiser, besides suffering from malignant carbuncle, sustained a rupture arising from a bJood disorder, together with a recrudescence of his throat trouble. Despatches to Paris by way of Switzerland state that opprations of 1 a- nature which is not specified, were performed oni Wednesday. -The throat trouble is said to have extended to the lips. It'is even asserted that it has been found necessary to provide the Kaiser with a silyer palate.

(If the Kaiser is really suffering from cancer of the throat, the world will not withhold its expression of pity, despite ail that has been endured', says the "Argus." We would ifahi hope that this dreadful malady -has'.not seized upon him. Yet if it has done so anay we not-.find in 'the circumstances some explanation of. the war? The fact that ■his father died from this cause would predispose him to morbid ' misgivings, and: should the, disease be now taking anything like acute,fo,rm symptoms must have been present many months ago. The Emperor is a man of'inordinate vanity and pride. He conceives himself to be the maker of presenl-clay Germany, and his personality does, in fact, express tbo Pan-German "idea. He might, moveover, well believe he had the power to become the most conspicuous conqueror in the world's history."o'ertopping Alexander, Cassar, and Nauoleon; and with the power and the feeling that his time might be .short, he might conceivably seizc the temptation to strike at the auspicious mement. The French Ambassador in Berlin informed his Government, some timo before war broke out that perhaps the most sinister feature of an ominous situation was the fact that the Kaiser, who had been generally considered an influence on the side of peace, had obviously become reconciled to the contemplation of war. He was the one man on earth who could have prevented .this a.w.ful .struggle, and he did not do it. Boundless ambition, linked with colossal power, and stimulated', it seems not unlikely, bjj cither the actuality or the premonition of deadly disease —if this was ; the position Of the Kaiser in 19i4' the "world had little chance indeed.)

The latest ilist of survivors does not include Mr De Rpnzy, who had booked to Auckland. Doubt continues regarding the exact number on board. It is certain that- 200 are •missing'. Twelve out of 80 first-class passengers were saved. The Maharajah of Capurtliala's jewellery was lost. Apparently none of the survivors saw the submarine, but the second officer reports that he observed the ripple of the torpedo. • The belief prevails that i: was an Austrian submarine.

I The survivors from the Persia are mostly suffering- from shock and' 'hardships. Many are bruised and bandaged. One woman was sent to hospital with a broken kg. The tragedy was so sudden that the survivors are scarcely able to give a connected account. They dwell oil the rude change from the gay luncheon tabJe where they sat in the joiliest- moods to the ship's boats in less than five minutes, when tbe luxurious liner was swallowed by tli© waves. They bad just begun luneli Avhen there was a terrific explosion. The ship shook from stem to stern and lurched heavily to port. •Only those wlio quitted the tables instantly or happened to be on the decks had any hope of escape. Many seemed paralysed and sat as ; if glued to their seats. Their indecision was fatal. The water poured.' in to the saloons next moment. Some reached the sloping deck 'and slipped into the sea. Others were swept off by the waves. The survivors are loud in their praise of the promptitude and coolness of the crew. It was a brilliant feat to lower even four boats from the heavily listed and swaftly-sinking ship. The crew worked' smartly, but silently, and there was not the least sign 61 panic. : , • A young lady' states that, she jumped up from the table the instant she the explosion, and ran to her cabin' for a lifebelt. She .was twice tin-own down by the ship's rocking. She gained the deck, having the utmost difficulty in keeping her footing.' She was- thrown" down repeatedly and severely shaken and ■bruised. She jumped overboardi and was picked up after 15 Others tell similar stories bf having .promptly rushed-on cleck and dived into the sea. . . , ; .. . ; , .... . Mothers rushed fr,om their cabins to < seek their children" and never .returned. •Only two children were savea. j : The chief officer •was sitting in a cabin on ; the bridge deck., He. helped with the. boats and "went down, with ithe ship, being picked rip out of the water. He did' not see the captain, and believes he was sucked down, though passengers think they saw him swimming. Many'passengers state that thereiwere six. beats afloat, but the chief officer doubts the accuracy of the statement, though be says two. niay have broken loose. Other officers arei convinced that if no more boats were afloat there was ho one in them. .

- The survivors lost ■ .everything, and spent a most miseraible thirty hours in the boats, wot and cold, but with ample water and provisions. Reuter interviewed Mr 1 Gl'ant, . an American survivor, who said, the passengers were at dinner there was an explosion which filled the saloon with smoke, steam, and broken _glass. I fastened the captain's 'belt on him', an<J then slid into the sea, and was sucked down. V. I was caught by a rope, but cot clear, and reached some wreckage. I was picked up foyv a. . boat at 4 .o'clock, when I saw five rowinsr.-boats searching for other survivors. Four boats were tied together, 'but at 3.30 mv boat became separated from the We rowed for tliree hours before (being rescued by cruisei-j which 'picked up the other boats at seven o'clock.
