A despatch from London says:- The decision of the Belgian Govern- ment to maintain Ypres, the scene of several battles between the Biltish and the Germane in its present condi- tion as a permanent memorial, is en- dorsed heartily by British press and public opinion. "Ypres -will be a memorial," says the Westminster Gazette, "in which future generations may learn the hor- rors of war. There is nothing more impressive than the sight of the stricken city with the skeletons of its once wonderful buildings rising gaunt into the sky. In a sense there are few things mare beeutiful, To patch it up would be impossible. Every- one, therefore, will welcome the de- cision that the remains of the old city shall be left intact instead of being cleared away. "The East abounds in the ruins of the last vestiges of once glorious civilizations which have been over- thrown. Ypres will stand for centnr- ies as a reminder-- that civilization itself cannot be overthrown and as a monument to the generations sacrific- ed in its defence." INCREASE TO BRITISH NAVY TO BE REGARDED AS BONITS A despatch from. London says:- The Admiralty announces that pend- ing the conclusions of the Committee of Enquiry on the subject, it has been decided to increase the pay of all naval men, ranging from an extra shilling per day for ordinary seamen to six shillings for captains and high- er ranks, with similar increases to the Royal Marines. This extra pay, tt is declared, must be regarded as a bonus, and not as representing an increase of the present pay, which may ulti- mately be considered a just and equitable remuneration.
