It is with a very real pleasure that we record

Lord Milner's entryinto the Order of the Garter. If we have not always been able to see eye to eye with Lord Milner in public policy, we have never doubted the width and the intensity of his love of Britain and of the Empire, and therefore rejoice ex animo at a public recognition of his services which is so splendidandsoappropriate. We are not afraid or ashamed of saying that we regard the membership of an order fraught with a history both ancient and magnificent as a great reward. When Lord Milner's flag is set up over the stall of the new " Haut .et puissant Prince et Seigneur," he will join a fellowship entirely worthy of him as he is of it.
