TEN YEARS IN BAGHDAD. THE PRINCE'S NEW HOME.

DEPARTURE OF BRITISH TROOPS.

FRIENDLY NATIVES.

The last British regiment the 2nd Battalion The King's Regi- ment of the Iraq garrison, left Baghdad, exactly ten years after British forces entered that city. Mr. Amery, Secretary of State for the Colonies, discussing this bistoric event with a representative of the Sunday Times said:→

The departure of the last Bri tish battalion from Iraq marks yet another step in the progressive stailisation of the situation in the Near East.

"It shows how justified has been the policy initiated by Mr. Chur- chill at the Cairo Conference in 1921, and followed consistently by successive Governments since then, of setting up in Iraq a National Arab State, independent, but close- ly associated in fros co-operation with the British Government.

* The

young State organism which we planted is steadily taking root in its native soil, and gives promise of future healthy growth.

This shows how justified we were a year ago in refusing to listen to those who, terrified by the bogeys of their own imagination, would have wished us to break every obligation of honour to those who trusted us, to abandon the work we had already carried so far, and to allow the whole situation, not only in Iraq, but in the Near East generally, to relapse into chacs. The consequences of such a course would have been seen, not in the peaceful departure of the last, British battalion, amid the affectionate regrets of the popular tion, but in the hurried sending out of additional forces to try, in an atmosphere of distrust and con- tempt, to shore up something amid the general wreck of our position in the Near East.

"To-day, we are not only on terms of friendship with the Turks, who respect us and with whom we have never wished to quarrel, but we alen have the genuine friendship of these whom we are helping in their effort to revive an ancient national life and the memories of a great civilisation."

THE WORLD'S OLDEST

SCHOOL

ST. PETER'S YORK TO CELEBRATE 1300TH YEAR.

WHERE GUY FAWKES WAS TAUGHT.

Founded in the year 627 by Paulinus, St. Peter's School, York, is to velograte ite 1,800th year of unbroken school life at the end of June. It is claimed that the school's records date farther back than any other:

The school has a regular succes sion of headmasters frour the year 600 to the present day. Guy Fawkes was a scholar, and the land on which the present school stands was purchased from him. Four of the gunpowder plot conspirators were educated

there.

Although old records have been searched it cannot be definitely established that Dick Turpin went to this school, but old legend has

Near by is a small, parfectly decorated dining-room-where-a company of twelve ar so could be comfortably seated. This room the Prince will use in the ordinary way in preference to the chief dining-room on the ground floor, which will be kept for any large entertainments.

Refurnishing. Particular care is being taken by the Queen in advising the Prince as to the decoration and refurnishing of his own simple bedroom on the first floor and the other principal bedrooms.
