BONDS OF EMPIRE.

MR. CHURCHILL WELCOMES IMPERIAL VISITORS.

RELATIONS WTIH AMERICA.

LONDON, Jure 36.

A number of imperial visitors were entertained at a banquet by the Empire Development Parliamentary Committee, including Messrs Smartt, Hughes, Massey, and Sasiri. Mr. Wirston Churchill in an address of welcome said: "Our hearts go out to our visiters in cordial welcome. When they came last they brought the legions of the British Empire, splendid and powerful armies which held a place unsurpassed in the clash of Armageddon. To-day they have brought no legions but we now know what before the war we only dared to hope, namely that should danger threaten, the representatives of these great Dominions will come in with their valiant legions. We in this old motherland will not be behind them in giving equal measure of support. If attack is threatened against any part of the Empire we shall be found ready to do our duty thoroughly and faithfully.

But the style be used is altogether antiquated to-day. In her letters an exceedingly modern young woman suing for damages for breach of promise is found expressing herself in the latest slang and in phrases which would have sent one of Miss Austen's young ladies into a' swoon, but which, apparently, came quite naturally to the writer herself. The contrast between this new style and the old is obvious. But taken together they show that in all its changes our language loses nothing of its faculty for picturesque imagery and vigorous
