NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Honoured Dead: There was a ceremony at Westminster, a ceremony which had its own dignity, and its own message. On November 22, the day before the opening of Parliament, the Prince of Wales unveiled the memorial in Westminster Hall to the members and officers of both Houses, and to the sons of members of the House of Commons, who died in the war. The new House contains a marked proportion of members who served in one or other of the Services, and the handsome memorial to those who went before them will surely be an inspiration to them to “carry on' in their duty to the nation. As was fitting at a ceremony in memory of men who put their country above life itself, there were no party distinctions at the unveiling. Mr Bonar Law, Mr Lloyd George, and Mr Asquith stood in a little group near the Prince, and members of all shades of political opinion sank their differences to do honour to their dead.
