(Special Air-Mall Service)

Edinburgh. Apf 0.

A MEDAL FOR THE PRINCE.

I wonder if the Prince of Wales will be able to read the medal with which he is to be presented on April 19. It will bear in Gaelic the following inscription:

put together, and when work is pretty well advanced Messrs. John Brown's will have on hand about a third of the entire construction' on the Clydeside at the present moment.

Sir Harry McGowan will join a select band when he becomes an Hon. LLD of Glasgów in June."

In a position to realise the value of an organisation such as the Salvation Army.

The Rev. H. J. Benson also con- gratulated Commissioner Lamb.

Commissioner Lamb expressed his thanks for the good wishes that had been showered upon him and referred to the influences which induced him to enter the Salvation Army in Aberdeen over 50 years ago.

CLYDEBANK PIPED BACK

TO WORK

The clang of hammer on steel and the spasmodic rattle of pneu- matic riveting machines echoed at East over Clydebank to-day, when more than 600 men resumed work on the giant Cunarder, "No. 534." At seven o'clock this morning the workers began to arrive at Messrs. John Brown's shipyard, and just before eight, to the tune of "The Campbells are Coming," they were led by the Dalmuir Farish Pipe Band to where the hulk of the great ship lay.

All Clydebank turned out to watch the scene. At eight o'clock a hooter sounded. and the men faced a battery of cameras as the day's work began.
