But there has beco, in quarters, a tendency to consider armaments on an assumption of the possibility of war in the near future, whence danger threatens the Empire. No one knows precisely the quarter such danger may some day arise; but for the present it would be extrav agant and weakening to spend our resource1 lavishly either on aeroplanes or on ships of types likely to be obsolete even before completion.

The author bases his argument that Thackeray was happy at Charterhouse on the evidence given in his books:

Certainly all bla heroes have a good time at Gray Friars and koka back to it with affection and this is the best proof that Thackeray was on the whole happy there himself, and that there is no solid ground for raying that he was impressed with the brutality of school life. In nearly every one of Thackeray's novels there are allusions to school life, and the Bishop of Gloucester con- siders that an old Carthusian will find many points of similarity between the, schools in the novels and Charter-

A few weeks before Christines, 1921, I was in a public house in the West cad. I gut into conversation with man thers. He said to me, "Can you find an Englishman to marry a foreign girl? He did not say for what purpose, but I had my own opin ion. He said, "If you can find an Eng- lishman to do it he will receive $20 for it." He asked me if I was an English man, and I said "Yea," As a matter of fact I was born in Russia, of Russian parente, nad was brought to this country when I was four months old. I have lived here ever since. As I saw there was money in it, I said I would do it. The man accepted my offer, and handed me some papers among which was on identity book, I believe, in the name of a foreign girl. I cannot remember her name. I took these papers to a registrar's office and arranged for the marriage to take place in three days. I think the registrar's office was in Marylebone. I cannot remember the name I gave, but I remember saying my address was Union Street, Marylebone. I have naver.lived there. Immediately after the marriage ceremony was performed I left the girl, and never stayed with her. After the ceremony I was hand- ed £20 by one of the witnesses to the. marriage...I was not asked for a re- ceipt, and did not give one. About & week after this I met the same man, and he asked me if I would natry another foreign girl, and offered me £12 if I would do so. I first objected to the amonat, but he pleaded that he was hard up, and I agreed to do it for that amount. He handed me some papers in the name of a foreign girl, together with £3, of which £2 140, ed. was for the licence and the balance for expenses. I should add that I received £3 in connection with the first marriage, in addition to the £20. I cannot remember which re- gistrar's office I went to on the second occasion, nor can I remember the girl's name, nor the name I gave. After the marriage was over the same person handed me £12 outside the registrar's
