New London Postoffice Marvel It Will Be the Largest and Most Modern Building of Its Kind in the World German Invasion Scare.

(Special Cable from the International News Service.) (BY HERBERT TEMPLE.) London, March 5. In another week the splendid new building, which Is to make the London general post office not only the largest but also the most modern and up to date post office In the world Is to be opened. The whole ground floor is to be open to the public for the transacting of any kind of postal telegraph or money order business while on the second floor will be magnificent private offices for the higher postal officials. Immediately behind this block is a covered yard giving access to a platform at which the mailcarts will draw up. After discharging, the carts will make their way to another platform, where the outgoing mails will be loaded. There will be greater expedition In transacting business, as, owing to the circutous route which the carts have now to take, there being no straight processional way from discharging platform to the loading platform much time is wasted.

At the rear of the covered yard is a

huge building covering 'one and a half acres, all clear floor space with the exceptions of the supporting columns,

which are sixty feet apart. Here the sorters are to come, and at night time the spectacle will be witnessed of nearly 3,000 sorters being engaged at one time on this one undivided level. The only furniture will be the usual sorting fittings. On this ground floor the London letter mostly will be dealt with, and on the first floor foreign and Colonial mails will be sorted. Plenty of room has been left for additional post office business. The third floor will be used by the staff for cooking their meals. The kitchens have been fitted up on the most up to date principles, a steam boiling apparatus has been installed along with gas cooking stoves. Each man will have his own private locker. There three floors exhaust the accommodation of this rearmost building. The front block to be used by the controller of the London postal service, has four floors. The three story building has a fine flat roof, from which a splendid view of London, including St. Paul's, may be obtained. It has occurred to the authorities that it would make an admirable roof garden, but it is not likely it will ever be applied to this purpose. Amongst the improvements that will help to facilitate business are nine or ten electric elevators, which will nave time as compared with the hydraulic elevators now in use. London may now claim to have the largest post office in the world, not so grand as regards frontage as the Washington building, but very much larger, more than 17 acres being under cover.

ing to general conscription, and indeed which all young people abhor.

The Territorials, a corps which in many respects resembles the American National Guards, are to be brought

up to the greatest possible size and given the best possible military training to make them fit to fight so formidable a foe as the legions of the Kaiser, whom England is always fearing. Next week the London Territorials are to go into camp for a very severe course of military training under conditions such as would exist in actual warfare, and at the end of the manoeuvres King Edward is to imitate the Kaiser and London is to be treated

to a great military review, which it is hoped will favorably compare with the famous reviews at Tempelhofer Field in Berlin. Hyde Park has been suggested but one general officer thinks that some of the open ground about the Surrey hills would be much more suitable. No details are arranged and it might be that the London divisions will be inspected in camp at Aldershot and elsewhere. It is also expected that King Edj ward will inspect the regular troops

at Aldershot in the spnng. For several weeks the London Territorials have been spending their week ends on the Surrey hills, between Aldershot, Guildford, and Dorking. This ground is increasing in favour among London troops as it offers such splendid facilities for signalling, ranging and distance judging. A new feature of the work is the arrival of small bodies in civilian dress under

an officer or sergeant, who spend Saturday and sometimes Sunday also in the wilds of the hills which link up Hants and Sussex across the broad bossom of Surrey. They sleep in the villages under the hills, and the parades are all voluntary, and chiefly consist in the individual training of non-commissioned officers. Invasion work is to be practiced in Sussex this year with the aid of regulars, and in all probability the coast line from Portsmouth to Eastbourne will be liv

ened up with raids from the sea.

VESSEL IS OVERDUE

(American News Service Valdez, Alaska, March 5. Overdue two days, the Alaska steamship company's steamer, Dora, today is the object of anxiety. The steamer Elsie, a mail boat plying between Cordova and

Valdez, is also overdue. The Dora left Dutch Harbor, bound for here. For more than a week terrific storms have raged in this vicinity. The trail to Fairbanks is impassable from a blizzard that is still raging.

HUNT Mj OF ARC Woman to Play the Part at English Army Pageant Is Needed. TO RIDE A WHITE HORSE

(Special CaM: from the International News Service.) London. March 5. For months the

promoters of the great Army Pageant to be held in London this summer, have been searching far and wide for a woman to play the role of Joan of Arc. and at last have been fortunate enough to secure the services of Mrs. Henry Nohler, of York, to play this difficult role. This lady is the second daughter of Sir George AVombwell. Bart., the famous Yorkshire squire and Crimean veteran who rode with the ITth Lancers in the gallant charge of the Light Brigade and came unscathed out of "The valley of death." Mrs. Nohler is the sister of the Coun

tess of Dartrey and niece of Lord Jersey. Ever since she could ride she has been known as a daring horsewoman and a member of the York and Ainsty Hunt, of which her father was for many years master. In the York pageant of l'0 Mrs. Nohler was a beautiful Queen Isabella. Riding astride on a magnificent grey, she was the embodiment of grace and dignity. As the Maid of Orleans in the Army Pageant Mrs. Nohler will require all her nerve and skill as a horsewoman. Bestriding a spirited white horse, clad in armour, and possibly bearing a

standard, she must head a charge of French knights on the Field of Patay. scattering and overwhelming an opposing force of English. Lances will be in front of her and lances behind her. The encounter will be one of the

most thrilling in the pageant. Mr: C. J. Foulkes, of Oxford, armour-

The fear of a German invasion, so successfully used by a certain part of the conservative party during the recent elections, no longer exists in its acute form, but its effects are nevertheless plainly visible in the efforts of the English people to become a great military power, without resort-

For Joan's ootume he has a followed tapestry in the museum at Orleans mad about the middle of the fifteenth century and therefore the earliest representation of the Maid. She is there
