The land is to be divided into tacts of about ten roods, or two and one-half each, This has been followed, according to the cable news, by a more sweep- ing order, judging from the fet that Richmond and Bushy parks, near the Thames and in the fashionable south-west district of London, have been included in a new order of seizure. Richmond Park contains 2,255 acres and is a favorite summer resort, with a history. Charles 1. ordered in 1637 that it be enclosed and uséd as a hunting park. Bushy Park is only 1,000 acres in extent, but {it contains numerous horse dhestnut trees said to have been planted by William III. It is not likely that these trees will be de- stroyed, but the significance of the later news lies in the proximity of the properties to the heart of Lon- don. It has long been a point upon which Britain's critics reproached her that almost within hailing dist- ance of the notorious slums there existed great open areas given up to the sports of the privileged classes. acres; | o PEEP PPPIRGPIRPE PIP IPN M NOTICE TO CONTRIBUTORS. from sea pirates.

In fact, we wish we had more of them for many good ideas are evolved this way. However, the publishing of let- ters anonymously or over am as- sumed name frequently leads to trouble. The man who signs his name to an article takes the re- sponsibility for -it3 publication, and will be . more careful in what he writes than the one who can hide behind a nom de plume. For this reason the Whig has decided to discon- tinue the practise of publishing letters other than those signed by the correct name of the writ- er, Bai lath he eh BE RXR RT NT | | GIRL 'GUIDES INCREASE. All this is to be changed under [Movement Spreads t5 United States the pressure of war, and some pre- dict that the old order, for various reasons, never will return, For one thing, it will be difficult, if not im- possible, to restore a semblance of the formef wildness to the land, and for another it is thought that the economic value of the new system will be so clearly manifest that few will care to abandon it. The high respect "for property which, is a characteristic of the Anglo-Saxon "people is exhibited ven in the temporary confiscation of this land, under the grave necessity of war. The land does not bgrome the property of the user, but it is provided that he-shall have title to the Improvements which he makes. At the close of the war the original owner 'may redeem his property by paying for these improvements at a fair valuation. It is easily conceiv- able, also, that he will find it to his advantage to continue the land in its productive capacity, the improve- ments in themselves offering some 'ncentive for taking that direction. It would seem that the game pre- serve, together with the Ydea, in- grained in some Britishers, that game preservation is a higher duty than-the raising of food for the peo- ple, is doomed to modification, If not to extinction. The idea must not be confused, however, with any van- dal plan to tear up the beauty spots of the country for purely materialis- tic purposes. London's great parks and the breathing places of the ple are to be preserved as they are and Overseas. At the annual report of the BTIt- ish "Girl Guides" Council the report for 1916 disclosed the fact that the movement is rapidly spreading throughout the United Kingdom and overseas. It numbers already 50,000 girls between 11 and 18 and 2,450 "Brownies" between 8 and 11. The wér work done by the girls includes the provision and maintenance of a récreation hut for wsoldiers in France, and the equipment of nu- merous hotels or first-aid dressing stations at different centres for dealing with injuries received through Zeppelin raids or accidents. Besides assisting as orderlies" at Red Cross hospitals, Government of- tices and munition works and sup- plying comforts to, men at the front, 3,700 guides havé during the year won the War Service badge. No fewer -than five guides have during the year been awarded the medal for saving life at risk of their own lives, one notable instance being when a guide dived to the rescue of a drowning boy while a crowd of citizens were hesitating' on the bank.
