The Birthday List of Honours which appeared on Wednesday was

not too long and was not open to any of the objections which were rightly raised . to the Honours Lists a few years ago. No new Peerage is created though Lord Bearsted is raised a step, to a Viscounty. There are eight new Baronets, among them Sir John Bland-Sutton, President of the Royal College of Surgeons. Among the new Knights we notice Mr. Hamilton Harty, the composer who conducts the Halle Orchestra, Mr. Barry Jackson, the manager of the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, and Mr. Bernard Partridge, the well-known artist of Punch. Sir William Tyrrell, the new permanent Under Secretary of the Foreign Office, receives the G.C.M.G.
