men who created the names are dead, but those three war babies are now young men, ready to serve their coutry in another war.
They are Earl Kitchener, aged twenty, grand- nephew of the soldier who raised an army of over 1,000,000 volunteers;
Earl Jellicoe, aged twenty-one, son of the famous admiral, and
Earl Haig, aged twenty-one, son of the British Commander-in-Chief in France.
They are all undergraduates. As for Lord Kitchener and Lord Jellicoe, they plan lives for themselves vastly different from those led by the great men they follow.

All the exasperation of the party with the man who has been its cosseted pet, chlef embarrassment, and headstrong rebel was expressed in the crushing vote of 2,100,000 to 402.000 by which the Socialist Con ference supported the executive's act in expelling him for his Populor Front activities.
An amazing vote this, that annihi- lated Cripps.
Afterwards he told reporters: "I do not contemplate applying for readmission. The vote show they do not want me now,
"I should be the last person in the world to push myself in those cir- cumstances."
Politically speaking, he
has no
plans for the future, But he will exercise his right as an ex-Solleitor- General to sit on the Opposition Front Bench.
STOLE THE SHOW
A thunderous declaration against him had been expected. But the majority gave Cripps an even harder. push than most would have forecast. It means that the mass of Socialists hope that, having been put out he wlif stay out,
When he had been heard he left the conference through a Hoor marked "Way Out." A steward
held it wide open.
The most terrifle speech made in this grand confrontation did not come from Cripps at all.
It was young Mr. George Brown,
a previously unknown speaker at the conference, who stole the show, got the biggest cheers, summed up all Socialist anger on the Cripps affairs.
Mn Brown comes from St. Al bans.
He had been Infuriated, like most of the conference, by the reference which a delegate from Socialist legal society supporting Cripps had mode to Cripps's professional ser- vices to the movement, especially the miners at the Gresford Inquiry.
D MONTHS OF TALK
Socialists think that these tributes to the virtues of. Cripps have been badly overdone and shouted nerealy when the latest one was made.
Mr. Brown shouted: "I don't want to be accused of attacking Cripps. But I do think it is time somebody pricked this bubble-and pricked It once for all It Cripps gave every penny he has got and worked from now until he dies for the movement, he would not give anything more than my men and women members in Hertfordshire.”
And with a fine flow of speech, which I can only wish were more imitated in these mincing days, he cried: "We have spent nine blasted months in a pre-general election your doing nothing but orgue the toss about Cripps."
The full conference volo is 2,700,- 000. Practically all of that, except- ing 402,000, shoved Cripps out. The
