How Old Is London TOWN.

1t IS surprising, when We think CT
the age of London, and think Of the
tower which William the Conquercr
built; Of the ancient abbey; of the
Norman church: OF st. Bartholo-
news, how many Of London's most
prominent buildings are less than i
hundred years old, and how mar #
them arc quite recent structures. Oh
serves a writer in London Tit-Bits.
OF all the buildings which flank
Whitehall only the Horse Guards,
the Banquet hall and the Old Ad-
miralty existed a hundred years ago.
The government offices are all new
Within living memory the house Of
parliament. the Thames emhankment
and all its f1anking buildings. St.
Thomas hospital, the National gal
lery, South kenSington museum. the
Tate gallery, the law courts. all the
big hotels and even the present Man
sion house have been built. whilst
nearly all the banks and great pilea
of commercial offices in the city are
new. although the thoroughfares in
which they stand are very old
a hundred years ago there was no
ttlBn f1olDorn, no Sna1teSburV ave-
nuc. no CharinS Cross road. no Re
gent street-or. at most, it was just
in the making-and no Trafalgar
square, Kingsway and Aldwych are
streeta of yesterday.
Moreover, such great centers of
population as Putncy and Isiington
ana Hampstead and Edmonton were
little outlying villages quite discon-
nected with London. whilst West
Ham and WiIlcsdcn had no existence
except as names, and places like
Shepherds Bush and Wormwood
Scrubs might have been in the back
woods OF Australia or Canada for an
the Importance they represented. a
century ago. too. the railroad sta
tions which number about 1000 had
no existence whatever.

ers Murel, Annie NJ. Perry and Rob
Roy. which were sunk by a German
submarine Saturday, began leaving for
their homes today from the various
ports along the coast at which their do

riel that he had sunk six fishing schoon-

were not inclined to be talkative.

RUSSIANS ASSERT
ALLIES RECOGNIZE
UKRAINE REPUBLIC

London, Feb. 1.-THE remarkable
statement that France and Great
Britain have recognized the Ukraine
republic and sent diplomatic repre-
sentatives there is contained in an Of
fetal statement sent out by the Rus
sian wireless news agency and issued
here through a press bureau. The
statement occurs in the course of a
report of the proceedings at the
Brest-Litovsk conference of Feb. 1, at
which N. Sevruik, who apparently is
the new chairman of the Ukrainian
delegation, is reported as saying that
by an act of the Ukrainian rada on
Nov. the UBrainian republic de-
clared that these diplomatic repre-
sentatives had been appointed.
M. Sevruik is reported to have quot
ed from the act passed by the rada as
follows:
''By this act its (the Ukrainian) in
ternational position is recognized by
the council of workmen's and soldiers
delegates, as well as by the repre-
sentatives Of the four allied states
and also by the French republic and
the British government, which have
appointed and sent diplomatic repre-
sentatives to the government of the
Ukrainian peoples republic"
