This may happen not perhaps in the sense of a Soviet Government in Poland but in the sense of a peasant revolution, which would create a new de facto Government in Poland for the Russians to the Gulf of Finland, where we also had a warship ready to transport them.

Then may abound in goodwill and reverent conservatism, but they cannot always have expert knowledge of the technicalities of architecture. Dilapidations are not foreseen and sometimes go too far before repairs are put in hand. And when it has become a case of new stones for old the community has an obvious right to prevent a restoration tragedy. To the argument that this involves an impertinent official poking into the private affairs of an individual or a corporation the answer is plain. Many of our old buildings may be private property, but they are also a public trust.

For they are crystallisations of history, abstracts and brief chronicles of other times; and, to those who have eyes and imaginations, they are more informative than a deskful of text-books. The whole history of England, for instance, is often written in plain type across a single village by the tumuli on the hill, the Roman road, the mounded camp, the church, the green, the manor-house, the ruin of a castle, the inn with cobbled yard for coaches, the chapel, Even those who scouted the jig-saw as dowdy and old fashioned, alike with those who perceived it as worse than bridge as a destroyer of brains and time, have not been proof 1 .1 A .1 deal with. Neither the Allies nor the Polish came the Polish collapse, and we asked them to wait a little till we saw whether Russia Government have done well out of the long delay, first of the trade negotiations with against its insidious appeal in wiese wei usvys. An eminent art director, for instance, might be appealed to by perplexed competitors as The Fifth of August, 1620. Three hundred years ago to-day the most momentous of modern ocean voyages began, with a false start from Southampton.

For some three, years before this a little community of English Puritan refugees et Ley-den had been anxiously debating the prospects of an enterprise that seemed endlessly difficult and was almost unimaginably perilous. England under the first Stuart King was no place for them. Holland was not, and could never be, a homeland. They were resolved upon finding a country where freedom of worship would be assured; they dreamed of Russia and now of the armistice negotiations. The Irish Deputation.

Today's Irish deputation to Mr. Lloyd were willing to grant the armistice for which we asked or meant to proceed to the complete conquest of Poland. The armistice was at once conceded. The Poles, it appears, are willing to accept a cessation of hostilities. They well may be.

But they George is not likely to have secured any imme an authority on composition wno must Know where the light passages would come in after a foreground of dark crimson halberdiers had been set in their places, or an impatient yachtsman appealed to about how the sails and rigging should go after a certain part had been revealed and so on. Midnight falls with the other competitors gone to bed and every year lor nearly two centuries. It would never do for a London custom of that age to be beaten by a mere world war. There was a great gathering of riverside men on the old swan pier this afternoon when the apprentices of 1919 and 1920 started ovpr the old course for Chelsea. The water was choppy, there was a stiff breeze blowing, and the ardour of the four-mile pull was enough to take the heart out of anyone but a brawn lighterman.

It was the river and nothing hut the river, with an intense local salty flavour the sea comes up to London Bridge, and although there were sightseers in all the warehouse windows and crowds on the bridge, these seemed curiously of the land and remote. The real fun of the fair was with the bargemen in Sunday best, who filled tho little pTf.r with their womenkind (in sateen and attractive hats), and who overflowed into holidav-making tugs chartered usually by the supporters of one competitor or another wearing their hero's colours. The chief bargemastet of the Fishmongers' "Company (Mr. Pocock) was there, as in the old days, splendid in crimson with a brass badge as big as a soup-plat" on his arm and wearing a braided cocked hat. He was pleased at the old races coming up again but a little sad at the falling off in the quality of the rowing owing to want of practice.

At four o'clock he set off in thp company's trim launch to shout the word "go" through his megaphone, and at the six rowers of the 1919 class set off with a powerful spurt over the long obstacle rac to Chelsea.

It would be a good sign if organised labour would take more interest in these affairs. Though the modern trade unions have little or no historical connection with the craft guilds, the heritage of achievement is theirs. Our finest relics of architecture are memorials to English working men. Labour should be the first to insist on a common responsibility for these monuments.

Whose fault is it, and what does it mean? To all appearance, it means that the Poles, though beaten, are unwilling to acknowledge defeat, and that they are showing as little wisdom in misfortune as they did when they imagined success to be within their grasp. For what are the facts? The Poles in their extremity had asked for the intervention of the Allies.

They were told in reply that they must themselves initiate negotiations "for armistice and for peace." They acted on this advice, and proposed to the Russian Government immediate cessation of "hostilities and the opening up of peace "negotiations."

It is worth noting that from all quarters there is now coming strong pressure for Dominion Home Rule for the back into Dartmouth, and it was not till a mouth and a day after the departure from Southampton that the Mayflower set sail alone from Plymouth, with the total of the Pilgrims reduced to 102. To-day, therefore, as Southampton not unfairly argues, is the initial date of the tercentenary commemoration, the further limit of which will be the day in Christmas week upon which the complete landing was made at New Plymouth, Massachusetts.

"What you want is judgment in this job," said a yellow supporter, ruefully. "Look at Phelps rowing like a lion all the way and choosing his course just right." There was one unlucky competitor who got right away into the still water on the left and was soon hopelessly out of it. The steamer was a bedlam of rival cries encouragement and advice was bawled by way of letting off excitement rather than in any hope that the rowers would hear. The men on the barges that we passed were tremendously excited and were shouting advice through home-made megaphones.
