Here, then, is the latest phase or the

attracted by the novelty Of the employ

LONDON, March 1, 19OS.
~ NGLAND will shortly be Lon
- don and London England, -
r. said King James I in alarm.
IL 800 years ago, and he forbade
any one to build on new
foundations within two miles of the city.
Charing Cross. which is now the geo.
graphical center of London, was then a
hamlet in the fields.
Today the same situation is being re-
peated., The nation is afraid of being
overshadowed by the city, which is claim
ing its rights to expand.
One of the bills which will be introduced
at the present session of parliament will
provide for the creation Of a greater Lon
don. 1t will be backed by the great power
and influence Of the London county coun-
Gil and will have as its aim the placing
of the whole metropolis area. with it's
population of more than 100000 per-
sons, under the control of one central
authority. At present the county council
governs the administrative county of Lon
don. with a population of about 4,50O. 600,
and even now parliament Is jealous Of its
power. The opposition to the new bill
will come from those members Of parlia-
ment who believe with King James 1
that England will shortly be London
ana LONDON ENSlduQ.
The jurisdiction of the London county
council covers an area which Is roughly
contained within a circle having Char1ng
Cross as its center and a radius of about
five miles. The metropolitan police area,
which it Is proposed to bring under the
control of the London county council, or
some body which may be constituted to
succeed it, is contained in fifteen-mile
circle. It comprises the county of Lon
don, the whole Of the county of Middle
sex and parts of the counties of Surrey,
Kent, Essex and Hartford.
When the county council was formed
twenty years ago it was given jurisdiction
over all Of what was then fairly to- be
called London. Since then. however, Lon
don has grown and spread with amazing
rapidity. Where there were green fields
and country villages twenty years ago
there are today street after street of
houses and shops. Open fields which lay
between London and the small country
towns have been covered with a steady
overflow Of houses, until what were once
independent boroughs have been swamped
and absorbed in the life Of London. The
borough Of East Ham alone has grown
since the. census of 1901 by 44,OOO and
that of West Ham by Al, 600. Waltham-
stow has increased by 10000 and Totem
ham by 1000 in the same time The fol-
lowing table will show the increase since
1901 in the county areas which are in

Similarly, a new sport was added to
those popular in this country when from
ancient statues some one got the idea
of hurting the javelin. This graceful
form of exercise. which requires dexterity

some popularity.

with their guns to fire salptes on great
occasions. and following the salute the
artillerists were always treated to kes
or two of lager beer and sandwiches ga
lore. 1t was on such occasions that the
long lst>o casualties that marked the an
nails of the battery were recorded.
The first of these occurred on the White
Lot while the battery was firing salute
In honor of the election of republican
President. There was premature expio-
sion and the man who was handling the
rammer was blown about fifty feet across
the field and lost both Of his arms. Soon
afterward while another salute was being
given another member Of Battery lost
an arm. Such happenings became SO IRE
quent that the authorities cautioned the
major that he must be more careful, and
there was a decrease in the number OF
casualties in action"
The battery reached high-water mark
In membership and efficiency just before
its disarmament. It's meeting place was
at Sth and E streets and the assemblages
were made interesting by Maj. Hahnne-
mans talks on the artillery arm of the
armies of the world and the many noted
achievements Of the men behind the guns.
~
1t was recalled by one of the officers OF
the original Battery A of the District mi
litia that in one of his talks following the
shooting of Capt. Ryan and others who
went to Cuba on the Virginius, by the
Spanish authorities. that Maj. Hahnne-
man predicted the war between the United
States and Spain which occurred in 1898.
He declared that war would come be-
tween the two countries sooner or later,
and that it was inevitable.
and" he added, 'ff I am alive I will
tender the services of Light Battery A
as the very first artillery volunteers to
Uncle Sam"
1t was related how the trumpeter Of the
celebration. sounded TAPS when he was
ordered to sound boots and saddles" and
how Maj. Hahnneman reproved the bu-
gler and informed him that The could not
get job to toot the bugle even with old
Gabriel on the final morn" Ever after
ward the trumpeter was referred to as
Gabriel" and the nickname stuck to
him until his death. ~
The surviving members of Light Bat
terry A are talking of holding a reunion
organization and its varied career will be
related.
A muster and entertainment of the LIST
Separate Battalion was given at its ar
mory last Friday evening. The COM
panies were "closed in mass" the officers
and recruits lined up in front Of the
leading company, officers facing the bat
talon.
Maj Arthur Brooks impressed upon
the recruits the importance of the obi
cation they were about to take. urging
strict obedience to those elected or ap-
pointed over them. The oath Of allegt-
ance was then administered by Capt. e.

Mai. Brooks introduced Justice r. H.

ing Justice Terrell said: There is no

versally respected than the uniform OF
