Year End One of Intense
Disappointment
LONDON. Englind. eDc. 31. Tho
New Year's list of honors issued to
night, according to custom, proved
disappointing. Two peerages, sev
en baroneties and eighteen knight
hoods were conferred. Government
officials, manufacturers and mer
chants almost monopolized the re
wards. The stage, literature and art
were Ignored. The Liberal govern
ment has been criticised so sharply
for having previously inflated the
ptie-rage, while professing to be ex
tremely democratic, that it caused no
surprise that only two additions were
made to the list, these being. Sir
George Sydenham Clark, a distin
guished Indian official, and Sir
George Kemp, a wealthy ex-membcr
of pjrliament. whose selection Is
considered remarkable because he re
cently resigned his seat on the
ground that he was unable to support
Home Rule.
