Alexander, treasurer of the Cathe dral, and Mr. Mervyn Macartney, the architect, assisted by the clerk of the works and Mr. L. A. Turner, who has been indefatigable in his services as secretary, It has consisted of architects and other professional men, with guides, vergers. and workmen belonging to the Cathedral staff. These men, trained by the Landon Fire Brigade, have beeit on guard every night for more than three years, 10 or 15 being often present at one time, and stationed (with fire hose ready) at the posts allotted them, when a warning was received. Many have attended two or three nights a week, and the whole country owe: th m a debt of gratitude for their cerored service.
Through the co'd and dark nights of three winte s the e men have been on guard in t'e rational Cathed al, often competed a late warning came through, to spend the whole" night the e,etween two busy | days of work, te's being provided | for such sleep as they could obtain, A systen of te ephores from the cryp: to the various roofs has made for unbed action.

It was in Sevente 1915, that the danger to the Cathedral first became pressing At a quarter to 11 on the right of September 8 a Zeppelin was seen by the watchers on the roofs approaching rapidly from the west in the glare of the searchlights, and a great fire began at World-street, in the close vicinity of the Cathedral, which for two hours and a half illuminated the whole building, while thousands of reple hurried Ludgate hill to see St. Paul's on fire."
On two other occasions-in Juze and July, 1917-the Cathedral had very narrow escapes from the bombs of Gothas flying in broad daylight.. Twice it was struck; at night, by anti-aircraft shells, one of which penetrated, with great force but com- paratively little damage to the roof of the south transept.On June 13, 1917, a small part of an explosive bomb which fell within a few yards of the north side of the building was thrown up on to the stone gallery, where a-slight dint was made in the
