LONDON TO SPREAD.
To Enlarge for Fifth 'Time in
• 2,000 Years.
. .

In its 2,090 years of bistory; Lea-
den, England, has enlarged its borders
four times. Tao rirst time was in the
time of King Alfred; the last time was
in 18-55, when Me present boundaries
of the area known since 1889 as the
County of London were fixed.
Iu the eighteenth. century Tyburn,
then the place of exeCutiori and now
within a few yards •of the Marble
Ara, was two miles from Londoe.
In the forties of the last century,
only a dozen years before the last en-
largement of London, Belgravia was
covered with field forming part of a
swamp that etretched as far as Ful-
ham. A hunting pack "eound" in the
fields of Pimlico less than a hundred
years ago.
Tile London of 1865, which is the
London of to -day, is to be enlarged to
the London over which the Metropoli-
tan Police bave control -the real me-
tropolis. The London of 1920 will
cover 692 square miles, nearly 700
times the size of the London of Queen
Elizabeth.
For twenty years London reform-
ers have been agitating for the exten-
sion of the boundaylee of London and
for as many years •the Government
bodies outside the county, but within
the boundaries ef tnietropolitan Police
London lia:ve resisted the proposal.
• In all that time the movement of
population °aside of London has been
increasing mint to -day there are virtu-
ally as many People living outside ei
London as there are in the county it-
self.
Politics and sentiment, which have
tied down the bounhartes of London
since 1855; have been swept out 01
coesideration, Necessity counts to-
day. London must take within her-
self the whole oe the popillation lying
between Richmond and Romford and
Barnet and Purley, or give up the
task of providing the ordinary ameni-
ties to which every aggregation of hu -
Matt beings is entitled.

A fort, looked on as the best that
French engineering skill could build.
Was made of re -enforced concrete, ex-
tendiag many feet under ground, and
stood near the site of the stronghold
referred to. It was smashed to ate
ems by the Gernaarts, but the French.
even as the pieces were flying about
tbenl, constructed a new subterra-
nean fort of rock and graulte which
eefectually resisted the attacks of the
enemy. This fort GeneralwOlement
describes as somewhat resembling an
anthracite coal mine. He said that
the air,in the fort's hospital was pure

ever penetrated the place, the condi-
