LONDON NOTES

The addresses will ask his Majesty to make an Order. In Council under the Military 'Manoeuvres Acts of 1897 arid 1911. The invocation of these Acts is largely in consequence of a const- derably extended plan of man- oeuvres this year. This, combined with the increasing mechanisation of the Army, requires the use of larger tracts of land.
The Order in Council will apply to considerable areas in Wiltshire, Hampshire and Sussex. In addi- tion. War Department land ог Salisbury Plain will be available.

THE KING'S LAWYERS Who have been the great King's lawyers of the reign-the out- and

Here they are: Lord Reading. Lord Carson. Lord Hewart, Lord Hailsham, Lord Birkenhead, and Bir John Simon.
The majority are still with us. Only Lord Birkenhead is dead,
Sir John Simon, who was knight- ed at the Coronation, is the only one who is not a law ford or a peer."
He had the chance when Mr. Asquith offered him the Lord Chancellorship in the first Coall- tion Government.
COMMONS SUCCESS
Of the group by far the biggest Agure in the House of Commons
was Lord Hewart.
He came to the House in 1913, having won a by-election at East Leicester.
I heard his maiden speech. It was a fine performance. It ful- alled the high hopes, which had been formed of him before he came to the House of Commons. It did not disappoint those who were predicting for him a brilliant future in politics.
