H0MËRULEF0R UNITED KINGDOM IS ADVOCATED Speech By Labor Member of Cabinet Attracted Much (Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, May 14\u2014Hon.Andrew Bonar Law, Chancellor of the Exchequer, made an important announcement in the House of Commons Monday, the Times says, when, in reply to a question by Sir Edward Car-son, he said the British Government intended to adopt a policy similar to that of the French Government in denouncing all commercial conditions containing a general clause regarding \u201cmost favored nations.\u201d Such a step, the Times declares in its editorial comment, will leave Great Britain free in matters of fiscal policy.Up to this time the United Kingdom has been bound by commercial treaties with allied and neutral countries guaranteeing reciprocal \u201cmost favored nation\u201d treatment in fiscal matters.Commercial treaties with enemey countries were terminated by the war, So long as commercial treaties re- j 1 mained in force,'the Times adds, it.| was impossible for the United King- ! ! dom to give specially favored treat- i I ment to the Dominions or allies in ! I customs duties or imports or to diff-! erentiate «between countries to which j are exported goods of the United ; Kingdom.These commercial treaties are now to be denounced.This denunciation, it is said, does not mean necessarily that there will be any radical change The Lord\u2019s Day Alliance evidently intends to fight it out to a finish with the proprietors of the moving picture theatres who insist on remaining open on Sundays, and second complaints have been made against three theatres, namely, Premier, Casino and Pincess.These complaints have been sent to the Attorney-General for his sanction, and as soon as they are received back here they will be immedi-l ately served against the theatre pro- j prietors, who will be brought before Judge Mulvena in due course.The proprietors of the Casino and ; Princess Theatres are charged in this instance with having pursued their : Over Half\u2014Subscriptions are Still Coming in and Totals are Being Increased\u2014Mr.Dobson Thanks Workers and Subscribers Before Leaving.It is quite safe to state that the Province of Quebec, excludiog thej Montreal district, will contribute over $100,000 to the Y.M.C.A.Over-! seas Red Triangle fund before the | books of the tecetit Dominion-wide! campaign are finally closed, and of Waterloo (Warden $81) .*»\u2022«\u2014«*\"rt\u2022\u201d good cause the Eastern 1 ownsbips j yout(3 Durham (Ulverton and will have the honor of having con- j L\u2019Avenir).tributed about $60,000, over half the' Windsor.total sum secured.The grand total j Waterville for the Province of Quebec, outside hurst.of' the Montreal district, last night, Ayer\u2019s Cliff.was $91,956, and the Eastern but Knowlton.1,72J Cowansville.1,500 Thetford Mines (incomplete) .1,506 Lennoxvllle (incomplete) .1,001 Scotstown (Lingwick $252, Gould $27, Canterbury $32, Hampton 427) .1,070 960 771 (including Hill- Town-1 Sutton.these Sawyerville.Bishop\u2019s Crossing (including lludswell and East Dudswell)' North Hatley.Marhleton.Compton (incomplete) .Dlxville.regular business^or gam on the Lord s ,B + ^ n a^v+iiHn me ¦ c e\tj amounts will undoubtedly be increas- Day.Ihe Casino has been running .\t,\t., \u2022\t\u201e\t,\t.,\t, .V ed to quite an extent, for the state- shows on Sundays on the charity of monto M,lf a(.v\u201ernl nlnrpa nre il ,\t,\t,\t,\t.\tments of several places nre not as the public plan, not charging any reg- t complete( and the report,K from j ular admission fee, but the Premier\tplaces have as yet to be receiv- has sold tickets as usual, and the com-j including Three Rivers, Farnham, I plaint in this case is identical with Shawinigan, Hhefford, Stukely, In-j the one in the last case against the j verness and Bury, same party, wherein he was convicted Sherbrooke\u2019s total is just a little! 70\tj BRITISH OFFICIAL STATEMENT MUST PAY INCOME TAX IN BRITAIN Canadian Ladies Residing in Britain Who Derive Revenue from Canada Come Under Law.(Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, May 14.\u2014The British official statement follows: \u201cWe carried out a successful raid last night northeast of Robecq (Flanders) and captured a few prisoners without casualties to ourselves.A party of the enemy which attacked one of our posts west of Merville was repulsed with losses.\"The hostile artillery was active during the night in the Somme and Ancre sectors.\u201d -1- FRENCH OFFICIAL STATEMENT (Associated Press Despatch) PARIS, May 14.\u2014The French official announcement follows: \u201cFrench patrols carried out operations north of Hangard (on the front before Amiens), near Courcy and west of the Meuse, bringing hack prisoners.We easily repulsed a German raid on small French outposts northwest of Orvillers-Sorel.\u201cThe artillery fighting was rather spirited in the Champagne, near Butte du Mesnil, and in the Vosges.A German local attack north of La Fecht was repulsed by our fire.\u201cThere is nothing to report elsewhere.\u201d inclining more and more to such a\u2019 solution of the Irish problem.This is due partly,, it is said, because they believe the fcheme affords the only chance of winning Ulster to Home| Rule.Some of the Cabinet members be- ; lieve, according to the lobby corre-j spondents, that there is a greater disposition in Parliament and in the ! country than ever before towards a I federal scheme.The Daily News credits the Minis- ! ters with the opinion that it is the j best policy to frame an Irish Home Rule Bill which will be general in ; structure, and which could be fitted ! into a subsequent act establishing Federal Parliaments in England, Scot-1 land and Wales.The suggestion, however, is rejected ! absolutely in Ireland, according to de-1 spatches from Dublin, where it is said!

hence the necessity of soliciting public support and the volunteer assistance of those qualified to help.Patriotic workers, Red Cross workers, school teachers, are especially invited to tender their services to the Rekistrars and their deputies.Education Necessary.It is particularly desirable that the Clergymen of all denominations, Members of Parliament, school teachers, professional, agriculturalists and members of other proftssions, journalists, captains of industry, members of municipal councils, railway officers, in short, all those who by reason of their social position, wield great influence, should make known the requirements and the purposes of Registration, in order that no false conception of its import may gain ground or jeopardize its success.The Cgll and the Response The Eastern Townships have responded nobly to the urgent demands of the war; large numbers of their best young manhood have left and are still leaving for the front; they may be found in all the different army services; many have made the supreme sacrifice; others have been wounded or invalided by sickness;
