Cancelled Yesterday.Luck Is Lucky (Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, October 9.\u2014King George, waited on by Premier Macdonald this morning following the Government\u2019s defeat in the House of Commons last night, agreed to the dissolution of Parliament.Mr.Macdonald left Buckingham Palace after an audience which began at ten o\u2019clock and lasted an hour.It was officially announced that he had asked the King for the dissolution of Parliament in line with his previously announced policy of appealing to the country through a general election to approve the course pursued by his Government.It was understood that the question of the resignation of the Cabinet was not touched upon at the conference at the Palace.In informing representatives of the press, after he had left the King, that dissolution had been decided Upon, Mr.Macdonald said: \u201cI am sorry events have turned out as they have, but every one knows that the situation is not one of ^he Government\u2019s seeking, but has been forced upon it.Personally, I should have been very glad if the Labor Government had been allowed to carry on its policy, a policy which I maintain has been one of honest politics find of the promotion of the interests of the commonwealth.\u201d The Premier said the Government would have preferred to have saved the country the expense of an-ether general election, but, shrugging his shoulders, he added: \u201cThat is the situation and there it is.\u201d Mr.Macdonald, after leaving the palace, returned immediately to No.10 Downing Street, for a cabinet meeting.As he made his way into the narrow street, a huge crowd which had assembled in front of the Prime Ministerial residence roundly cheered him, and there were shouts of \u201cgood old man.\u201d It was announced that he would make a statement in the House later this afternoon.The Labor Government of Ramsay Macdonald came into power in Great Britain in January of the present year, when the Conservative ministry of Stanley Baldwin, which had been at the helm only a few months, was dismissed by the House of Commons by a vote of lack of confidence because of its espousal of protection.The present composition of the House of Commons membership is as follows: Conservatives, 246; Lhbor, 187; Liberal, 156 Ulster Unionists, 11, Co-operative, 6; Independent, 3; Independent-Liberals, 2; Nationalists, 2; Sinn Feiner, 1.Total 614.The total membership of the House of Commons is 615, but there is a vacancy for the London University constituency.HOUSE OF COMMONS TO BE DISSOLVED

Government For Several Weeks By Suffering Humiliation- Labor Conference Resembled  Joyfest -+.When Attorney-General Hastings Arrived at Conference the Delegates Arose en Masse, Cheered for Severed Minutes and Sang \u201cThe Red Flag\u201d With Wholehearted Lustiness.^Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, Oct., 9.\u2014Great Britain\u2019s first Labor Government virtually came to an end last night when by a combination of Conservative and Liberal votes the House of Commons carried a motion demanding that a select committee of the House investigate the action of the Attorney General, Sir Pattrick Hastings in withdrawing prosecution in the case of the Communist James R.Campbell, acting editor of the Workers\u2019 Weekly, charged with inciting His Majesty's forces to sedition.The Government declined to accept the motion, and treated it as a vote of censure, which if adopted bv the House, would involve an appeal to the country against Parliament\u2019s verdict.The debate was sharp and exciting, and after it was closured the Opposition wanted to drop Sir Robert S.Horne's motion of censure and vote on Sir John A.Simon\u2019s amendment calling for an investigation.On the Government\u2019s refusal to accept this course, the House divided on the question as t> which it should vote on.By a vot?of 359 to 198 it decided r, vote oi) the Simon amendment.This was equivalent to the defeat of the censure motion, and the Simon amendment became the substantive motion.and was carried 369 to 198.Announcement of the figures was rer.eived with loud cheering and counter-cheering.The prime minister, Ramsay MacDonald, imni-diately arose, and said: \u201cIn view of what has happeiied, Mr.Speaker, I move that the House do now adjourn.\u201d This was agreed to unanimously.It is understood that the Government has decided to carry on until the Irish boundary bill is safe anl the boundary commission appointed.Throughout the final scenes the excitement rose to the highest pitch, jibes and retorts were flung across the House and some of the members indulged in singing.Up to the end there were rumors of manoeuvres to avoid defeating the.Government, hut.if, as appeared not improbable fi-om the tonP of some of the speechs, there was some disposition on the part of the Opposition to reconsider their tactics they had seemingly committed themselves too far to recede.i There is little doubt that,the Labor | party and thp Government welcome an appeal to the country thus, as they contend, thrust upon them and are convinced that they will return to the House of Commons a much 'stronger party, even though they may not command a majority in the House over all other parties.They believe they have a good cause i° present to the electors in what they argue is the triviality of the question upon which they havP been defeated, and on their record, especially in the realm of foreign affairs and finance.«fertW., PREMIER DISCLAIMED ANY FRIENDSHIP ON THE PART OF GOVERNMENT FOR COMMUNISTS OR THEIR POLICIES Premier Ramsay MacDonald, head of Great Britain\u2019s first Labor Government, who this morning requested King George for a dissolution of Parliament.nions expressed in Parliament and elsewhere that Article XII of the treaty contemplated nothing more than a readjustment of the boundaries.This amendment is not to be bill itself and has no affect.LONDON, Oct., 9.\u2014The conference of the Parliamentary labor party, begun yesterday morning just before the opening of the momentous House of Commons cession which resulted in the defeat of Great Britain\u2019s first Labor Government, was cort.'rued today, when it was tur ilëCt into something which resembleu a joyfest and an enthusiastic election campaign meeting.When Attorney General Hastings arrived at the conference, the delegates arose en masse, cheered for several minutes, and sang \u201cThe Red Flag\u201d with wholehearted lustiness.The conference decided to abandon, in the light of yesterday\u2019s developments, the unimportant points in the agenda, and to deal with the others as part of the election campaign.J.R.Clynes, Lord Privy Seal, told the meeting that the Prime Minister was with the King at Buckingham Palace, whereupon there were shouts of \u201che\u2019s in good hands.\u201d Continuing, Mr.Clynes said Labor had cause to be proud of its Premier and never more than in this hour of defeat, which would be the gateway to a greater victory.\t, \u201e \u201cLast night,\u201d he asserted, \u201cwe could have saved our political life for a few weeks by suffering humiliation, by submission, by traffic, or by compromise.W7e no longer have the press behind us as a Labor Cabinet, but in this, as in other matters, we have no fear of the future, and neither now nor in the future shall we do anything to lower the dignity of the cabinet.GENERAL BOOTH ARRIVED IN NEW YORK YESTERDAY (Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, Oct.9.\u2014The Government\u2019s defeat last night came in the form of the passage by a vote of 364 to 198 ,of a Liberal motion demanding investigation of Attorney-General Hasting\u2019s withdrawal of prosecution in the case of James Campbell, acting editor of the Communist Workers\u2019 Weekly, who was barged with inciting Hie Majesty s forces to sedition.A straight motion of censure, fostered by th.P Conservatives, previously had been defeated by 359 to 198, to make way for the Liberal amendment.During the debate, which at times brought scenes of excitement, the Premier dmclaimed any friendship on the part of tire Labor Government for the Communists or their pol eies, and announced that passage of eh lier thP Conservative motion or the Liberal amendment would he taken i a votP of lack of confidence in the Government 1 It.will bo the end,\u201d he added, \u201c,«f what members on both sides of the House will agree has been a high adventure of Government which I think has contributed much to the honor of our country and to our social stability, and, when the country has the opportunity of passing a verdict upon it, it will come again.\u201d Formal dissolution of Parliament may be delayed a few days to enable the Government to pass the Irish Boundary Commission bill through its final stages and clear up other business, but it is generally expected the usual machinery will be set going to fix the election for November 8th, or, at the latest, November 15th.SIR PATRICK HAS BEEN AS UNPOPULAR A LAW OFFICER AS ANY IN RECENT YEARS LORDS PASSED SECOND READING OF IRISH BILL (Asuociated Pre** Despatch) LONDON,

SHANGHAI, Oct.9.\u2014-Kiangsu | forces besieging Shanghai are attacking viciously at a point about |30 miles from Shanghai along the ! Hangchow Railway only 14 miles from the Chekiang arsenal at Lung-jwha.They are threatening to cut the line, isolating the Chekiang 'troops defending Sungkiang, one of thp gateways to Shanghai, j ThP railway was swept by artil-' levy fire, and there was only one train from Sungkiang all day yesterday.In the night Chekiang officials were offering bonuses to en~ jgine crews to take munitions to the Sungkiang garrison, five miles bc-lyond the threatened point.Forced to give ground during three days of fighting the Sungkiang | district, 28 miles southwest of Shanghai, the defending Chekiang i armies fought through the night and j continued the grim battle this morning by withstanding attacks of the I invading Kiangsu forces.| The Kiangsu forces arP attempt-; ing to cut the railway line between i Shanghai and Sungkiang, but the Chekiang armies, reinforced Tuesday night, held thP railway with forces extending along the rails for ja distance of about, three miles in the environs of Sungkiang.Any attempt to move trains on the part, of thp Chekiang forces today, however, would be at great hazard, as it would invite the full sweep of fire from the Kiangsu forces.All ordinary traffic over the railway line has been stopped.The forces of Chang Tso-Lin, Manchurian war lord, entered Shanhaikwan yesterday evening, according to a Japanese report from Mukden, Many casualties were suffered by both sides in thc heavy fighting which preceded the entry, according to the report.SIX KILLED WHEN PARIS-ROME EXPRESS WRECKED Accident Took Place Near Genoa \u2014Over Fifteen Persons Were

OF HOME BANK DIRECTOR IS UNDER WAY Charges Against Clarence F.Smith Are that He Did Make, Concur in and Approve False Statements of Affairs of Bank.Montreal, Que., Oct., 9.\u2014-a great deal of time in the inquiry into Montreal Police affairs was taken up yesterday afternoon by a discussion between J.P.Lanctot, counsel for the petitioners and Alban Germain, K.C.appearing for Chief Belanger, on the question of whether or not the inquiry should be divided into a number of separate trials, with thc defence putting up its evidence at the conclusion of each; or \u2014hether the accusations should be made and then the defence should have the right to put into the box all its witnesses covering every one of the allegations made.Mr.Lanctot held to his objection against Mr.Germain\u2019s proposal, and said that it would obviously be much easier for anyone incriminated to make a defence after each allegation had been testified to, than to make a defence at the end of the evidence for the prosecution as it were, since a number of the allegations would link up with one another.Mr.Justice Coderre gave judgment immediately.He tirst referred to the fact that he would be willing to allow as^ evidence the statements of witnesses who could only testify as to what they had heard; but such evidence should be corroborated by direct testimony from witnesses who personally were aware of the facts regarding which they were speaking.Coming to Mr.Germain's application, the Court went on: \u201cI may say that personally I do not view Mr.Germain\u2019s motion as ; any attempt to hinder the inquiry ! nor to prevent the truth from coming out; as I said a couple of days ago, I view the attitude taken by Mr.Germain as one having inuen sense.\u201d At the same time, from the viewpoint of practicability,it was doubt-j ful whether the court could adhere' strictly to the ruling it had given previously.If the defence were to be made right after each allegation had been made, it would mean that,' in the event of the petitioners find-1\t,\t.!\t~,\t,\t, a\tounts with the city for snow remo- themselves without a witness; ., ,\t.,\t,\t., , ., j j .i\t.j val last winter will be naled into

must be truly amazing to a people like our neighbors to the south who so truly appreciate and admire, and rightly so, their own domain.The dire consequences of this lack of a national pride is seen on every hand and noted by others.In a serial now running in an American journal in which the \u2018.3cen0 is laid in Quebec we find the following: \u201cMen deal with timber as the spendthrift deals with the gilt-edge bonds of a careless father, squandering the principle rather than clipping the inexhaustible coupon.Small trees that in ten years would be valuabue lumiber are cut down for pulp to furnish the paper upon wrich to print a salacious story not worth the beautiful spruce tree out.of which the paper is fashioned.\u2019 Millions of trees aro also destroyed to gratify careless campers, and so it goes on in every department of national life.The remedy surely lies with our boys and girls, the men and women of tomorrow.Teach them the value of their possessions and the future will see

( Lowel; Courier-Citizen) Those Boston gangsters who shot down a policerpan because he had the temerity to search a companion of their-: for suspected firearms, suffice to remind the reader of the reck.essness of modern city youth, reared under our benevolent statutes concerning juvenile crime.If you happen not to like a policeman\u2019s actions, shoot him on the spot! If you acquire a strong distaste for anyone, even if he be not a policeman, abolish him! This seems to be the creed of devil-may-care young hellions of the ci*y slums, who hunt in droves and who blaze away ^.-ith the deadliest kind of pistols on the slightest pre.oration, Meantime the benevolent reformer goes serenely on, devising more schemes for encouraging youth to a sense of glorious irresponsibility and seeking to abolish the one thing that ever really impres-1 sed the would-be murderer very much -to wit, the I death penalty.One admits that the death seem*: not to have deterred those Boston gangsters from risking a f usiilade at this officer; but one further i suspects that in the absence of any death penalty the I mortality among such as invite gangsters\u2019 antipathy would be vajtly increased.Mrs.Roe and Mrs.Astell were guests of Mrs.H.G.Pease on Monday.News has been received here from Fitchburg, Mass., stating that Mis:; L.A.\".telle, formerly «of Cleveland now residing there, fell and broke hor right arm.Her friends here all wish her a speedy recovery.Mrs.A.E.Healy, of Richmond Hill, was a recent guest at Mrs.S.Perkins\u2019.Messrs.R.Pease and TT.Banfill went on a hunting trip to Brompton Lake, returning home Monday.Mrs.Jamieson, of Montreal, wir; recently visiting at Mr.W.H.penalty Healy\u2019*.Mrs.Osbourne and little daughter, of Montreal, have returned home, after visiting at M:s.A.E.Healy\u2019s.Mrs.Harris and son Robert, of Echenberg SPECIAL WEE Fall Coats The newest modes in these coots, all of them extremely good looking- SPECIAL \u2014 FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ONLY: FALL COATS IN CAMEL HAIR TEDDY BEAR DUVETYNE Reg.$27.00 to $30.00 $ 20.00 (With or without fur collar.)
