A Temple of Fame.

To commemorate the seivion of Eat Lizcashire regimenta in the war it is proposed to build a "Temple of Fame" in Man. cheater. This would be the central portion of the City Art Gallery which the Oor- "poration intend to build. The scheme, as approved by the Art Gallery Committee, is that names of all East Escashire regimenta sboold form a part of the decor- stive work, and that some of the colours should rest, there. - A collection of war trophies would be included. On the walls there would be frescoes depicting some of the outstanding war incidents with which local regiments are specialy associated. The last stand of the Minabasters at Man- chester Hill, the gallantry of the Lencsehire Fasiliera at Thiepral, Territoriale at Gallipoli, and "Lancashire Landing" by Lan- Dabire Fasiliers on Gallipoli Peninsula, when the Victoris Gross was won by three men- have been mentioned si subjects which might be included.

"A liner leaving Now York with urgent and important letters will be able," he writes, "to discharge them by sesplane, 300 to 400 miles west of the Irish const; within a few boare they an be delivered in London, thus fecting a saving in time of 24 hours, "The fame procedare can be carried out by s vessel bound to New York, Iis quits within the bounds of possibility that letters posted in London can be delivered in New | York within four days," the outset, Hr. "Barnard thinks this service will, no doubt, be subsidised by the Goreramente af both countries, He points out that it could be developed ca routes to all parts of the world, American and Chinese Soldiers Fraternise.
