a communication from the General Secretary of the Society states:- -

HOME RULE FOR SCOTLAND.

AMUSING DEBATE IN THE HOUSE- OF COMMONS

There was au amusing verbal exchange between the Duchess of Atholl and the Scottish Labourites in the course of a Commons debate on Scottish Home Rule, which the Opposition contended was not on proper subject to be dealt with in a private Member's Bill, and was, in any rase, a matter of imperial, not local, in- terest

The Duchess of Atholl, opposing the Bill, criticised the expenditure involved, declaring that the North Irish Parlia- ment buildings alone cost £3,000,000,

Mr. Neil McLean retorted. There is already a Scots Parliament building,

The British and Foreign Sailors' ciety after 40 years continuous service for Seamen is faced with a serious financial position, this being a direct re sult of the War, and in that sense the position of the Society is similar to that of the nation. The State, however; has power raise money to meet expenses, Charitable Societies have to appeal to the philanthropic public, to come to their aid voluntarily. During the War money was generously entrusted to us and this largely because the Empire realised its dependence on our sailors. This money, was not hoarded but was spent freely for the objects for which it was given, old work being extended and new work being opened up wherever the occasion defar as she was concerned, Mr. Kirkwood panded. Since the war many, people was welcome to election to such a Par. appear to have forgotten the debt which liament. (Laughter.) at the best we can never adequately res pay and that their very existence still depends on our sailors, but nevertheless the Empire would assuredly collapse to day without them as it would have done in time of war S

A BANK OVERDRAFT. The Society is now faced with a critical facial position with a Bank overdrats of £28,000. The bedrock of the Society's work is the provision of sailors' rests wherever sailors congregate. The maintenance of the 100 homes of the Society throughout the world wholly or partly sustained involves a debit balance on this account alone of £10,000 to £12,000 loss per annum. This is not a catering. but is occasioned by the many sided Mis sionary and social efforts involved in carrying out our motto " In Service for the Sailor." We need £10,000 to`com; plete our Sailors' Hostel in the heart of London Sailordom. This Hostel with its 260 separate rooms has been erected as an Empire Memorial to the gallant sailors of the Royal Navy and the Mer- cantile Marine.

The Duchess of Atholl replied: "It is devoted to useful purposes whereupon Mr. David Kirkwood"- suggested that | Calton Gaol, Edinburgh, was vacant,

The Duchess of Atholl said that, as

Mr. Kirkwood: I have been there already..

The Duchess of Atholl: Well, I haven't:

Mr. Kirkwood: Coming events crat their shadows before.

The Liberals supported the Bill, while 3r. T. P. O'Conner: favoured all-round devolition, declaring that the parish pump should not interfere in important imperial questions, as it now did.

INVASION OF LONDON, EARLY BEGINNING OF BUSIEST SEASON EVER KNOWN.

A recent London paper says:-

The longest and by far the busiest season that Londen has ever had thus begins nearly a month earlier than usual, Between this week-end and the end of next October it is expected that twelve to fifteen million people will have been here from every corner of the earth.

We are pledged to undertake the pro vision of new Sailors' Hostels in such
