BLAZING BEDDING AS SO S. Diring a southerly gale in the Chanel recently the London barge Caprice stranded on the Brake Sands off Deal.

Copenhagen-According to a Kovno telegram to "Politiken." the official Bolshevik

organ "Pravda" asserts that Jachon- toff, the member of the Ekaterin- burg Soviet who ordered the execution of the Tsar's family when the Czecho-Slovaks were approaching the town, has been condemned to death by a re- volutionary tribunal in Perm and executed. His four accomplices were acquitted because they were only acting under his orders. Reuter.

KAISER'S PALACE AS MUSEUM

Berlin. The Prussian Govern- ment has definitely decided not to convert the ex-Kaiser's palace in Berlin into flats, but on the ground that it is an almost un- rivalled specimen of German architecture. will use it as a museum. In view of the great housing difficulty, some extreme Socialists urged that working- class families should be found accommodation in the palace, but the idea was never really popular. At present an army of charwomen ars busy cleaning the palace windows and scrubbing the floors.

VICAR GIVES IN. Northampton.-The dispute be- tween the Rev. C. F. Üpsdeil, Vicar of Moulton, which began nearly two months ago, when Mr. Upsdell declined to allow the village social club to continue to hold Saturday evening dances in the Church Room because he considered them antagonistic to his spiritual work, has been settl- ed. Mr. Upsdell has withdrawn his objection, and the dances will be resumed. Efforts are to be made to induce the choir bays, who have abstained from duty for two months, to resume im- mediately.

CENOTAPH A PUBLIC DANGER.

The removal of the Cenotaph from its present site to the centre of Parliament-square is proposed by the House of Commons Com- mittee which is considering the London traffic problem. Mr. Kennedy Jones, chairman of the Committee, speaking at a dinner! of the Middlesex County Auto- mobile Club, said they had to consider the question of the traffic in Whiteball and arising out of the con- sideration of the danger to public safety and the serious risk to life and limb occasioned by the pre- sent position of the Cenataph, they had unanimously recom- mended (and the recommendation: had the support of the police) that if should be transferred. On the occasion of the Armistice anniver- sary it required 300 foot police and 25 mounted men to ensure the safety of the public.

THE NCT-BROWN NECTAR. The Food Controller, Mr. George Roberts, M.P., made a bright little speech on beer at the opening at Richmond of a “Re formed Public House" at the Popular Cafe. Though he was a temperance reformer he re- cognised, he said, that the great mass - of the people desired to have a glass of sunshine" now and then, He appreciated that life was made sweeter and brighter by a moder- afe

use of what he believed, the Creator had ordained for them all-"the nut-brown nectar." Or it might be a glass of sparkling | wine. Many who had served in the war had returned to this country wanting to see the old stand-up bar abolish- to. have places where they might, take their and families-licensed houses that were respectable, comfortable, and had an atmos phere of welcome and hospitality, We should have to confront the question of drink in the near future, and he believed the nation. would decide that every man should have liberty to think and act as he pleased so long as he did not prejudice the lives of his fellow men, or impair the reputa- tion of his country.
