During Mr. Bonar Law's recent visit to Glasgow in his capacity as Lord Rector of the University, it was generally ob served that he looked rather fatigue His intimate friends were aware that his health was not altogether satisfactory, but none of them dreamt that his state was so serious as to require his immediate retirement. The weather on the night of his arrival was inclement, and there is little doubt that he contracted a chill while being drawn in an open carriage by the students from the Central Station to his host's residence overlooking Kelvin side park.
Before, satering the house, also, he addressed his escort from the doorstep, with his head uncovered, in the face of a piercing wind.

The scrapping policy which came into operation soon after the Armistice je to he carried a stage further, No fewer than eight Dreadnoughts are to be re moved from the Navy on the score of being obsolete. The Dreadnought and Superb, which went on to the disposal, list last year, are to be followed by the Bellerophon and Téméraire, completed twelve rears ago; the St. Vincent and Collingwood, commissioned in 1910; and the Neptune, Hercules, and Colossus, which at the outbreak of war, were less than four years old. They are good ships one and all, and in ordinary circum stances would have remained in the Fleet several years longer.
