The Honours List was issued on Monday evening, during an

outburst on the part of our wonderful climate, which did its beet to make us forget that the List had been postponed from the New Year. The List contains four new Barons, twenty-three• Baronets, and forty-nine Knights. Lord Burnham and Lord Rothermere both go up a. step in the Peerage and become Viscounts. The new Barons' are Sir J. H. Roberts, Sir R. T. Hermon-Hodge, Sir T. R. Dewar, and Mr. T. H. A. E. Cochrane. Among' the Knights- we notice with interest the name of Mr. Harry Lauder. But the feature of the List is the steady stream of honours which flows through Fleet Street. The Navy and Army are still unhonoured.
