LONDON, Nav, 7. The Archbishop of Canterbury has issued a letter urging Christian men and women everywhere reverently to carry out the King's proposed silence. In the absence of the cardinal archbishop, who has gone to Lourdes in connection with the anniversary of the armistice, the vicar. general issued a similar exhortation. The Archbishop of Canterbury concludes by stressing the duty devolving upon all to realise the true meaning of the League of Nations. He hopes that prayers will be offered up for the LON. on Tuesday, adding "the knowledge of what the League can of 000 and please God will bring to establishing the world's peace and bettering. the world's life gives a bright setting point and purpose to the first anniversary of armistice day.”

BELATED PLANS FOR THAT SILENCE. People of all classes have taken up with enthusiasm the King's sugges tion for an armistice commemoration, and have arranged to ynchronise clocks eo as to ensure everywhere an instant silence and suspension of movement. Railway companies, police, local authorities, and the clergy are co-operating to give the most striking emphasis to the solemnity of the occasion. The Admiralty wirelessed warships and merchant ships to slow down where practicable, the crews to stand at attention. The army was instructed to render a similar act of homage.
