ARMISTICE SUNDAY. WreatH-Laying at Cenotaph. LONDON'S SPECIAL SERVICES. Thousands of people in all parts of Loudon ypsterday took part in special Aimistice Sunday services. Wreaths were piled on the Cenotaph, where tribute was by several thousand members of the Royal Ancient Order of Buffaloes, who marched there after their service.

At St. Botolph'stj Bishopsgate, the Lord SMayor unteilcd a roll of honour and memorial screen to the men of the Honourable Artillery Company. The Rev.

notwithstanding. Communists Attack Miners' Federation. The latest body to receive the abuse of the Communist part? of Great Britain its the Miners' Federation. The -Executive of the Federation has incurred the displeasure of the Communists because it has not sent a deputation to Moscow to join in this week's celebrations. In a statement to the press the Communist party denounces this decision as outrageous and finds in it a continuation of the policy of sabotage pursued by the reactionary majority of the Federation leaders in respect of unity with the Russian workers, and particularly the Russian miners." This is a reference to the refusal of the Federation to set up an Anglo-Russian Miners' Committee behind the back of the Miners International.

The statement goes on: It is also closely linked up with the refusal to mobilise all the forces of the Federation and the working-class movement in defence of --the mineworkers in Durham and other coalfields vlio are threatened with new capitalist attacks on wages. The miners' leaders, who stand for maintaining capitalismT are attaid to establish contact with a working-class which has shown its capacity to smash capitalism and build Socialism in its stead. They were forced by the militant workers to continue the fight against the employers time and again during the great lock-out. Their professions of gratitude and promises of solidarity, in response to the magnificent help of the Russian workers, were equally forced from them By the enthusiasm of the workers. But their continued sabotage of the Anglo-Russian Miners' Committee, and now the decision to send no delegate to Russia, show that, they are forming a united front with the General Council and Chem-herlain against Russia, just as they formed a united front with the General Council The Historian's Debt to the Numismatist.

(From a Correspondent.) Although artists are not very enthnstestio about the new coins, numismatists who have had the opportunity of inspecting them are praising them both from tho point of liew of design and from that of execution. They constitute an improvement-, they say, on an thine that has been struck in this coun try for a hundred vears and are "in advauce nt contemporary wort aoroaa. -ine amui-is still a base alloy, but as the coins are only token coins the fact cannot be quoted against them as was quoted against Henry VIII. and otiieis when they debased silver coinage for Kevenue purposes. Knsland this respect holds a high record.

Gold coinage became the standard in 1516 and since then has never been debased, a complete break being thus made with the practice of the early British, wnose gold coins were so adulterated that eventu ally they could scarcely be distinguished from copper. Tho complete sets which the Mint is offering to the public for 15s. in a cardboard case or for 21s. leather will, no doubt, largely share the fate of the five- shilling pieces and be absorbed by collectors or given as birthday or Christmas presents, but the purchaser will have the satisfaction that he will get specially struck coins superior in workmanship to those issued in the ordinary way. This forms one justifica tion for the slight appreciation that has taken place in the value of the last Jubilee issue.

History and the Numismatist. History, as Dr. G. F. Hill, keeper of the Department of Coins and Medals in the British Museum, pointed out to the present writer, owes a certain debt the numis matist.

In modern times the practiee of striking coins to commemorate historical events has largely gone out of use, and there aie few instances of such British coins being extant. This from tho nuinisatic point is as it should be. What is wanted for a coin is something symbolic rather than pictorial, and heraldry, which lends itself to symbolic references, is ideal for the purpose, as is iliustiatcd by the faces which appear on the modern Italian coins. Among the early English coins which throw light on history is one struck by Egbert that is marked with the name of London, thus giving evidence that he captured the city. A gold florin of Edward III.

which incorporated a ship as part of the decoration was long quoteil as a pictorial 1 epresentation of the Battle of Sluys 1340, but the belief has been abandoned. JTo coin was struck (although a lino medal was) to celebrate the vietoiy of the Armada, and the union of England and Scotland was only reflected incidentally in tho coinage. In view of the importance of the Pope's action in conferring on Henry VIII. the title of Fidei Defensor one would have ex pected to -find F.D. on his coins, but thousrii the title has been used on the Great Seal ever since his reign it does not appear on the coinage until the reign of George I.

At the time of the Armistice the suggestion was made by Sir Charles Oman that there should be a fresh departure, and he was in favour of a special coinage being minted with the figure of Peace and an appropriate motto, but the idea was not taken up. Queen Anne's reign provided a semi- precedent for the idea. There was nothing of the sort in the farthing actually issued at the time of the signing of the Peace of Utrecht, but preparations were then made for a coin which should carry a figure of Peace riding in a chariot and the legend rax missa per orrjem," but none of these coins was ever circulated. Greek Victory Coins. Greek practice was different.

In 480, for example, when the Greeks defeated the Carthaginians, a large ten-drachma coin was struck specially to represent the victory over the "barbarians." Two generations later the Syracusans defeated the Athenians and took all the Athenians prisoners. Their armour was confiscated and given away as prizes for chariot races. On this occasion coins were struck representing a chariot and four borses, with Victory crowning the charioteer. The whole was on a pedestal ornamented with a cuirass, a helmet, and a pair of greaves and the word prize." There are in the British Museum two copies which supplement each other of a remarkable Greek coin of which no other examples are known. It commemorates Alexander's expedition to India, his battle with the elephants, and the capture of King Porus.

The coin depicts on the one side horseman attacking a soldier mounted on an elephant, and on the other side Alexander is represented as a god holding- a thunderbolt. It is remarkable because he is wearing a helmet partly Greek and partly jferaian, with a conspicuous plume. The fact of the plume ib described by Plutarch. and the coin gives confirmation of this and the detail of the Graco-Persian helmet. It was characteristic of the Romans to strike commemorative coins.

Brutus struck one witn tie legend, of the ides of March, which -qias decorated' with two daggers and the cap of liberty. The design was copied oaier ior a zneaai oy one or the De Medicis Claudius celebrated the invasion of Britain with a coin bearing the legend "De Britannis" and a triumphal arch, while there was a similar coin marked "De Ger- manis." A terrible earthquake in Asia Minor wnich destroyed twelve cities can be traced in the coinage, for Tiberius sent a large sum of money in relief, and the coins record how the cities of Asia were restored. The (standard of coinage both in desitm and execution ha3 varied as markedly inrougnour, tne centuries as the quality of the metal used, and it would be difficult to give tne palm to any one country or city. Syracuse ia usually quoted in this 'connec tion, but there are individual coing superior to ine Best mat Syracuse produced. Tho city is pre-eminent, however, for the high standard maintained, and in this, perhapi, her coinage may illustrate the anthropological view that a race transplanted under favourable conditions may exhibit the quali: ui bu urtensinea degree.

In climate'and physical conditions byracuse closely resembles Greece, and 'in some forms of art and culture she surpassed her parent. It is some source of satisfaction to know that' if the modern Georeian on some future occasion is to be judged on numismatto grounds he will nave no need to fear comparison with his immediate forefathers.

(From our Labour Correspondent.) The annual conference of the National tJnioh of Seamen, which opens in London to-day, will' have before it the findings of the General Council of the Trade Unions Congress and its fourteen days' ultimatum to the Union to -cease support of the miners' breakaway unions.

The executive met on Saturday and discussed" this, besides other pressing domestic questions onnce-tion with pending litigation and the recent expulsion of leading i-iliciais of the Union. The "Seaman," the organ of the Union, in its current issue, comments on the T.U.C. 's ultimatum: This support outb of the Industrial jriners Union is not the real reason for the charge brought against us by the Miuers' Federation. No, wo have never for given by A. J.

Cook for not at-sistmg him to prolong his disastrous strike. He knows the miners are turning to the new union because they are disgusted with the leaders of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain, but he must have someone on whom to Maine their defection, and so he pounces on the seamen, the leader of whom has so often shown him up in his true colours. Let-it be' known that Mr. Havelock Wilson and 'Executive of the National Union of Seamen are not to be frightened, threatened, or cajolecj from the path of duty. To us "Beds, Communists, and the Minority Movement spell ruin to the Empire and trade unionism.

Wc to steer between being partisan on the one hand and being unprincipled on the other. Our effort in regard to disarmament is not tliiected against the Government, but solely towards obtaining that clear expres-Moit'nf pnbliu opinion without which no Government can make effective the policy embodied in the unanimously adopted bv the eighth uembly. The Union believes that thu-e.

resolutions represent a substantia! tc in fmthcianre of the principles of arbitration, security, and disarmament, and notes with satisfaction the share taken by the British delegation in helping to bring' about their unanimous adoption." The consideration of these instructions will, however, be resumed by the Committee at. its next meeting.

When theproctore arrived there was loud cheering, and one undergraduate threw a squib between the senior proctor's feet, but the proctor's marshal stamped on it before it could explode and secured the offender.

The proctor politely raised his mortar-board and sent the undergraduate back to his college. Other students were "progged." not for rowdyism, but merely because they were without gowns. A partv of townsmen drove a horse-drawn 'bus through the crowd. Undergraduates hoarded the 'bus. but were removed by the proctor's marshal.

One cabdriver entered into the spirit of the thing and drove a rig-xag course down Cornmarket Street, attended by cheering undergraduates. The proctors and' the police stopped cars which were being driven by undergraduates and made their occupants dismount, but one lively spirit suddenly accelerated and drove his way through them. Only One No undergraduate was arrested by the police. A citizen was taken in charge for being drunk and disorderly, and though the undergraduates loudly protested they made no attempt to rescue him. The Chief Constable of Oxford, after consultation with the University authorities, yestetday stated that there was no collision between the police and undergraduates ami no overturning of cars.

In spite ot its beinir a Saturday night, when Oxford streets are full of citizens and undergraduates, the polico escort for tiie proctors was Bmallcr than on previous occasions. There was no organised disturbance or rag of any kind, and tile city and University authorities found no difficulty iii dealing with the usual crowds in the streets." Cnmbridge's Quiet Night. Cambridge had the quietest Guy Fawkes night sinco the war. This was in eoine measure caused by the rain which came on heavily at the conclusion of the college dinners, continued during the evening and damped the spirits of the undergraduates. The police report that only two charges were preferred, one for assault and tho other lor discharging a firework in tho highway.

At eleven o'clock the market place, usually the scene of a large assembly of undergradiates, was deserted. SUNK IN COLLISION, Man Trapped in Ship's Engine-Room. (From our Correspondent) Gbiusbx, Sdnday. Fifteen of the crew of the Leith steamer Saltoun, which was sunk in a collision with the Grimsby trawler Prince Leo lale last night, were this morning landed at Grimsby. The chief engineer, named Brown, went down in the vessel, and one of the survivors, John McKay, was injured and was removed to hospital.

Tho collision occurred about seven miles from Spurn. The Saltoun, which is owned by Messrs Gibson and Rankine, of Leith, sank almost immediately, but not before the crew had time to launch a small boat, into which they got and rowed alongside th Prince Leo, which brought them into Grimsby. The men were at once taken to Queen Mary's Hostel, where they were made comfortable. It appears that the Saltoun sank so quickly that the drowned man Brown was trapped in the engine-room.

Mr. Oliver Harris, treasurer of tho South Wales Miners' Federation, addressing a mass meeting of miners at Blackwood yesterday stated that they welcomed the movement among the South Wales coalowners towards the "stabilisation of the selling prices of coal as an indication that they at last recognised that the days of uncontrolled cut-throat competition were over in the coal industry.

The miners' leaders had been urging this step for years, but the owners had in the past demoted their attention solely to reducing wages and lengthening the hours of labour. They had now discovered that that policy had not provided a solution to the difficulties of the industry, and they were taking a belated step to stabilise prices at a level that was below what was required to place the industry in a sound economic position. He hoped that their efforts would be successful, but knowing the individualistic mentalities of some of the leading coal-owners he was doubtful whether any scheme that would curtail the freedom of the larger companies would receive the wholehearted support that was essential to a scheme ot that kind. Proceeding, Mr. Harris hoped that in the interest of peace the owners would not take advantage of the power they had under the wages agreement to apply for a reduction of the minimum percentage and the subsistence wage at the end of this jear.

If they did the workmen would fight every inch of the way. PHOTOGRAPHY THE BRITISH MUSEUM. A New Departure. (From our London Staff.) Fleet Street, Sdjjday. The British Museum has just added a corps of official photographers to its regular stuff.

The Museum was the only important national museum without a photographic department of its own. The making and sale of photographs of jits finest rut treasures has become an important part of the Museum's educational woik. There is not only the series of excellent post cards of prints, archaeological gems, and works of art generally the cheap photographs of sculpture are justly famous which are sold to visitors, but a sreat deal is done in supplying photographic copies to museums and students throughout the world. All this work has been let out to private firms at a cost of thousands nf 1 pounds a year. Now the Museum means to do its owii photographs, and both save money and extend this side of its activities.

A photographic record of thousands of the. more important exhibits will be made, and this will be available for study. It has been the practice to allow people who wished to obtain photographs of some exhibit to ariange for this to be done, but there wns always a risk in allowing the handling of fragile and beautiful things. A British Museum official, in explain ing: the scheme, strikes an ominous note when he describes it. as a wise precaution." "While," he savs, "the partial destruction of our collection is not a probabilitv, it is, of course, always a possibility.

Supposing, for example, that, it were bombed in a future war. If there is a comprehensive photograph record which can be removed to a place oi safety at short notice, it will help to ensure that the details of specimens will not be entirely lost to the world."

MOTOR-CYCLE EXPORT TRADE. Record Business. The busiest men at Olympia during the motor-cycle show were the export managers, record business being done with Continent and the colonies.

Moderate-poWer sports models were most in favour with foreign buyers. One export manager told press representative that his sales to the Balkan States and Southern Europe generally showed there was a big boom on the Continent. He had done busi ness with every country in Europe, and the biggest demands were from the Balkans and the Netherlands. The sale of British machines to German was unprecedented, and most of the big firms shared, in the German business. This export trade is "remarkable, as the rates of exchange and tariffs make the British machine costly in practically all European countries.
