London, Feb. 28th.-—The Press re:ep tion of the Home Rule Bill is rather laix ed, but the ““I'imes’’ recognizes the B3iii as being based upon sound princiyles, within limits, but says that it conveys the impression that the framers had not the full courage of their convictions. London, Feby. 28th. The reply mad by Mr. Lloyd George and M. Millerand to President Wilson's latest commu nication on tne Adriatic question, re peats the assurance that they never had any intention of definite set tlement without obtaining the vi>ws of the Urited States Government. The replv. which is dated February 2oth, states hat the absence of an American represat tative had proved in practice ar almost insurmoustable obstacle to the success of the negotiations. The i’re miers take note, as a fact of great im nortance, but President Wilson’s ex presses his willingness to accept any set tlement mu‘ually agreeable to Italy and Jugo Slavia regarding iheir comtion frontier in the Fiume region, provided such an agreement is not made on the basis of compensation elsewhere at the expense of the Nationals of a third power. London, Feby. 28th.-~The decision not to oust Turkey from Constantinople ‘'vas reached by the Allied Supreme Council only after long consideration of the diffi culties in the Turkish situation, Mr. Llhyd weorge declared in the House of Com mons to-day when the question of the future of Turkey was brought up for debate. The decisinrn, he suid, was in the b:zlance and after weigh ing carefully all the argumental, pro

and con, the council concluded that, on the whoie, the petier course for achiev ing the common end, was to retain the Turk in the capital on the Bosphorus. Referring to the agreement made early in the war, under which Russia was to obtain Constantinople, he said this agree ment ended, as far as Rassia was con cerned, by tne revolution in 1917 and the peace of Brest-Litovsk. He reiterated his pledge that ihere would however be a different porter at the gates. It would be the height of folly again to trust the guardiansihip of these gates people who had betrayed cheir trust, he declared 2and never again would those gates he closed by the Turks in the face of British ships. The influ ence which had decided the Peace Con ference :o retain the Turks in Consfanti novle, the Premier continued, had come from India, the two peace delegates of India at Paris, neither of whon was a Mohammedan, having dec'ared that un less the Allies retained the Turks in Constantinople, their action would be regarded as a grea\ brcach of faith on the part of the British Empire. Without the aid of India, he pointed out, Turkey could n,t have been conquered that nothing could be more damaging to Brit ish prectige in India than the feeling that Great Eritain did not keep her word He pnronised, however, that when the peace terms vere disclosed they would be found dasti® enough to satisfy Turkey’s birteres' so:. The main aims regarding Turkey are. firstly, the freedom of the straits, secondly, the freeing of all non- Turkish coiramu -ities from the Otto man array. and thirdly the preservation ior Tuirks of self-government in com munities whieh are mainly Turkish, supject 0 rieost important reservations. He exp ained that the freedom of the siraits would be assured because ail Turtey’s forts wonld be dismantled. She wourld have no troops within reach, and world not be permitted to have a navy, while the Allies would garrison the straits. The only alternative, he said, wus au international Military Gov erament of Constantinople and ail the surrouncing territory. whicn vould be verye unsatisfactorv and costly to the Al ies. NEW YORK.

The Hague correspindent of the Tage blatt gives a rather unusual picture of the former German Emperor in a lengthy article which he contrihuted regarding the personal appearance of the former ruler and his future prospects. ““The Kaiser himself, the Kaiser grown much older, has been struck in his vital strength, says the corespondent. The trembling right arm and leg, which ear lier was onlv just noticeable, has so in creased that it is apparent at a giance and dominates his. entire appearance. ..T'ne Kaiser has become very corpulent,® though he eats little. “"The Kaiser's attitude is still soldierly, but he appears to have grown shorter. It is noticeablz how siowly he speaks in contradiction to his old babit. He livens up only when remembrances of the old days eome to hiri. This o‘ten occurs in the middle of a conversanon. Only ity can be felt for the Kaiser on such ocea sions. No one who has seen him at Amerongen and 1s capable of responsible impressions believes that this nian, whois sprritually torn, and suows it in his body, will ever play an active rol- in any form whaisoever. By the grinding experi ences of war, the blow of a breakdown and worry about his future which corn stantly torments him, the de¢ per Imnpuls es of his wiii are dulled. In rhe opinion of the correspondent, the former Emperor hias purchasad Doorn House, as proot that hz has given up anyvt_hough'ts of reiurning to viermany. “"He ro longer exoresses the wish to return to Germany,’’ says the writer. He believes Germany is los*. More thun ever he believes he has beon betrayed by his counsellors and the wnoic people.”’ I The former ruler’'s le ters are eensored by the Duteh. who are declared to ba not inconsiderate and not paturally se vere. T e correspondent makes an appeal for the former Kmpero saving: "1t depends upon -Amerongen beiny left quiet and forgotten. THe last as- front that threatens its resident can thus v be most casily avoided.”’— Barbados Globe. Wood aleohol poisoning: “‘When a man will drink enough bay rum or lemon extract or aleohol to get drunk, he isn’t close enough to the normal tvpe to be considered with the average -citizen.”’ —Collier’s Weekly. j Recent ‘borings made in the asphalt lake on the island of Trinidad have reached a new low level record of 150 feet. The asphalt is found to be of uni form character throughout. Signs of the Thimes Lord Fisher, admiral of the British fleet, says, ‘One of the fearrul things of the late war iis that we had no admi rals or generals shot—we only promoted them’’—Leslie’s Weekly. The largest and most powerful wire less station in the world is being com pleted at Bourdeaux, rance, by the American navy. The aerials of the station are swung upon eight steel towers, each about 900 feet high, almost equaling in altitude the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris. It is expected the st tion will be of such power that any amateur or professional station In the world, regardless of static conditions, wil be able to pick up its transmission. The electrical installation is entirely modern, and the station conceals secrets that the French government is guard ling closely--Torsnto Globe. Tea and enffee planters of India and South America say that prohibition has distinctiy improved their business Stgns of the Times. That prohibition is responsible for the remarkable decrease in number of ar rests 1o this eity, during the last year is the opinion of Superintendent of Pol ice Robinson. During 1918, there were 94,195 persons arrested. Police figures made public yesterday show that 75,827 arrests were made duriny the year just i ended. This is a reduction of 18,369 arrests over the preceding year, and the polize point out thar che arrests did not show a marked decrease in 1919 un j til atter July 1. “'Prohibition without 1 doubt is responsibie for this happy re t duction in all eclasses of offenses. The majorlty of arrvests made during a year are for offences of disorderly conduct, drunkenness, and oiher less serious vio lations of the law,’”’ said Superintendent i Robinson. T'his cluss or offenders has been rapidly disappearing since the ad vent of prohibition, and itis to be ex pected that a further decrease will take place as intoxicating .iquor becomes more difficult to obtain.’’—Philadelphia v edger.

Shouid a’United Irisn Parliament assume control of the excises and customs the amount Ireland would have to contribute is somewhat reduced by a provision in the Bill that the United Kingdom shall present one million pounds to each of the two parliaments at the outset 10 defray their expenses. It is also bro vided that the lrish shall have land worth about three million pounds annu ally, and the Bill contains a detailed (Government proposal for the immediaie completion of a land purchase scheme. Civil servants, as regards pensions, would be.protected bv the Imperial Gov ernment, according to another provision of the bill and this is one of the reascns wly the imperial contrcl of the post office is retained, noctwithstanding <he Home Rule Bill o nineteen fourteen which made the Irish Posc Oifice an Irish institurion. The Impérial Par liament would retain this conn.'ol until sueh titne as the two parlia ments work out 2 scheme for its direc tion by a Council for Irzlands and re quest is made to the Imperial 2arlia ment to turn it over. The measure fol lows closely the outline given in the House of Commons by Mr. Lloyd George in December last. By its provisions, two Parliaments would be set up, one tor the North of Trelazd and the othér for tne South, the Northeen Parliament to consist of iifty-two merabers ard the Soiithern of one hundred and twenty eight. Representation in the Imperial Parliament would be twelve so- the North of Ireland, and tairty fcr the South of Ireland, necessitating the re appointment of I.eland as providad for in the Bills. The Northery area would be composed of the couanties of Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Lcndon derry and I'vrone, and the borouzns of Belfast and Londonderry. A Counci! for Ireland composed of forty members also provided for in the 811. The Le gislative Powers of the Council would be only those granted by th: two legislatures, but the framers of the Bill hope it will form a nucleus around which could be built one pacliament for the whole of Ireland almost unlimited executive. legislature and judicial are provided for such a united Parliament, but the power to be conferred on the separate parliaments would be ccnsid erably curtailed. Responsibility for or ganizing a united parliament and power to create it are left entirely with the two legislatures. The Bill provides that this Parliament, if formed, would con trol customs and excises at the outset. According to the Biil this Parliament would have full control cf education, local Govt., the land policy, agriculture, roads and bridges, transportation, old age pensions, municipal affairs, hous- S el B R E X N ing hospi:als and licenses. All judici ai ofices to be controlied by the Irish Pariiament, ‘each body controling the officer in its own district, and there would be a court of appeal for the whole of Ireland, provided over by the Lord Chancellor. What the Gov ernors conisiders onz of the chief safeguards in draiting the powers of the parlfimenrs 1s th2 provision specially fro hibiting either body from establishing any particular creed, or penalizing any one for belonging to or not belonging to any religious denomination.
