The Honours List issued on the King's Birthday announced two
promotions in the peerage. Lord Curzon becomes a Mar- quess and Lord Birkenhead a Viscount. Three new peers were created—Sir Ailwyn Fellowes, the chairman of the Agricultural Wages Board, Sir Henry Dalziel, and Sir Marcus Samuel. Among the sixteen new Baronets were Mr. Isherwood, who has revolu- tionized the art of shipbuilding, and two newspaper proprietors, Mr. W. E. Berry and Sir A. M. Sutherland, of Newcastle.
