Lord Stonehaven spoke in the House of Lords last night with a personal experience of "Abyssinia which few Peers can equal.

NO SALARY, NO DOLPHINS
Lord Willingdon, who, as I pre- dieted in January, has succeeded Lord Reading as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, will receive no salary for the office.
The salary of £3,000 a year was abolished before Lord Palmerston. became Lord Warden in 1861.
The only charge on the Treasury in connection with the office is the
upkeep of Walmer Castle, which Lord Willingdon wl have, as his official residence.
His only "perks" are the rights of "Betsam, jetsame and lagan" with- in the area of the Cinque Ports.
Even these rights are not quite so extensive as one might imagine, since whales and dolphins cast ashore belong to the King as "royal fish."
"Flotsam. ¿etsam and lagan" mean respectively doating goods, goods cast ashore and goods on the sea bed.
IN LORD READING'S FOOTSTEPS
Lord Willingdon's career MAS been very similar to that of the late Lord Reading, whom he suc ceeds.
They were contemporaries on the
Liberal benches of the House of Commons for six years. Both were raised to the peerage during the
itary engineering and organising last Liberal administration, Lord Willingdon in 1910 and Lord Read- Ing in 1914.

BELLICOSITY IN ABEYANCE Mr. Neville Chamberlain is, I hear, to be the principal guest at, the 1900 Club dinner on June 10. He will reply to the toast of the guests Lord Londonderry will re- ceive the diners..
The 1900 Club-founded after the 1906 election for survivors of the 1900 Parliament-is distinctly Right Wing in its Conservatikm.
It has been known to give lea- ders of the party who addressed it something of a dusting. At the annual dinner, however, bellicosity is in abeyance.

"HUSTLE! BUSTLE:·
One of the secrets of Lord Allen- by's success in the war was the fact that, unlike most other com- manders of comparable rank, ne believed in seeing for himself what was happening in the front line.
Before the Arras offensive in 1917 he flew over the German lines to get a first-hand impression of the front his army was to attack..
·His desire for personal knowledge of what was going on led him, when he commanded the Third Army, to a very hot corner in the front line at Monchy-le-Preux.
There he found a very young, very exquisite and completely un- perturbed young oficer.
"Well, young man," said Allenby, "and what's your name?”
"Russel," was the reply.
