31 MARCH 1906, Page 3

The most popular event of the week at home has

been the visit to London of six hundred of "Togo's men "—officers and bluejackets—who have come from Japan to take back two new warships built in British yards. The gallant sailors, who served right through the naval campaign, have been taken the round of all the sights of London—St. Paul's, Westminster Abbey, the Tower, the Houses of Parliament—and were everywhere welcomed with the utmost cordiality, their passage through the streets being marked by continuous cheering, while, to judge by their faces, they seemed to enjoy the experience immensely. It is pleasant to learn that London has appealed to their aesthetic sense, and that they showed the deepest and most reverential interest in the tomb of Nelson at St. Paul's.
