The Birthday Honours were announced on Saturday last. We can
only comment upon three of them. No man has earned his peerage better than Sir Arthur Nicolson. Mr. C. W. Bowerman, Labour Member for Deptford, by his character and action deserves in the fullest sense the title of Right Honourable. The third honour we must mention is the K.C.B. conferred upon the Registrar-General, Mn Bernard Mallet This in the truest and most exact sense is a war honour. Upon Sir Bernard Mallet fen the great and responsible duty of arraying or enrolling the British people under the National Register Act The public are apt ts forget that under universal military service two processes are required : first the arraying or enrolment of the available men, and next their enlistment as soldiers. That the first process was well and truly carried out was due to Sir Bernard Mallet and hit colleagues in the Registrar's Department.
