Four hundred and seventy quintals (cwt) of copper destined for Berlin were discovered under some vegetables in a railway car at Chiasso station. The sender was an Italian chemist at Turin, where there were quantities of copper wire on the premises.

SHOULD ROME INTERVENE?

Rev. R. J. Campbell, after preaching on Christmas Day at the City Temple on "The Leadership ojt the Christ Child," recurred on Sunday morning to the question of Universal Peace. According to the Christian World, lie wished that Germany could get a Republic; a democracy would not be so liable to quarrel with its neighbors. For the prevention of war he urged that the nations should insist on a compact of peace that should include the German people, that colossal armaments should be put down, and that the Christian forces of the nations should be organisel against war. To this last end he suggested that a general council of the Christian Churches of the worll should be called. As neither the Archbishop of Canterbury nor any Greek Metropolitan would have sufficient authority, why should such a council not be called by the Roman Pontiff? There was a precedent in the Council of Trent, to which Protestant Churches were summoned by Rome, and he would have every Protestant Church, large or small, summoned now. Rome, Mr Campbell declared, holds the key of the situation.
