am free to say that the service in st.

In and Around Hyde Park. ~ %
It was the afternoon and my friend
the captain and were standing at the
Marble arch, just outside the entrances
to Hyde Park. It was raining and we
were waiting the arrival of another
friend, looking eastward toward the
city.
Suddenly we heard the music of a
band coming from the west, and turn
ing in that direction saw for the first
time the army of the working men of
London, more interesting to me than
the most brilliant and inspiring mill
tary display.
They filled the street from side to
side, marching on with hundred i'm
mense banners and bands playing in
spite of the rain, falling now actually
in torrents. They are used to the
showers, these London people, and
they cheered and shouted and marched
into the park.
In the park the men gathered about
various platforms in accordance with
the usual custom, and twenty or thirty
| addresses were given. The speaking
was good in quality, too, the leaders
being men of force if not of much edu-
cation. "While the navy has been
blockading the Germans" said one OF
the speakers, "the mercantile marine
has been blockading u.s."
In the evening we walked down to
Kingsway and down Kingsway to Aid,
wych and the Strand. London is very

was that under the circumstances Of
lenses were less numerous than before

young men who had formerly gone

| now bashing the Germans. There is
another reason to which the officer did
not refer, but which is worthy Of con:
sideration, namely, that crime has di'
minished in London because poverty
has diminished. Wages are higher
both for men and women and there &
not the same reason for certain classes
of violations of the law.
In the evening we were close to one
of the sites visited by devotees OF
Charles Dickens, and when I made
some inquiry and received reply not
particularly illuminative I was remind.
