Ss O (Associated Press Despatch) TTAWA, ONT., April 4.\u2014The Military Service Act of 1917 is dead.The Prime Minister, the leader of the Opposition and the Speaker of the House, last night, united in pronouncing its obsequies.J.S.Wood's worth, Labor member from Winnipeg Centre, had a bill j to repeal the act.There was some doubt, he argued, whether it was operative or not.If it were dead, it should at least be given decent burial.Mr.Woodsworth spoke but a few minutes.He was immediately fol-3owed by Hon.W.L.Mackenzie King, the Prime Minister, who read legal opinions in support IK his contention that the act was dead and could not again be invoked.Mr.King intimated that had the act still been operative, the Government would have been only too glad to act on the repealing bill, but the act was dead.SPEECH BY MR.M El G HEN LED TO SHARP ENCOUNTER A subsequent speech by Right Hon.Arthur Meigben, leader of the Opposition, led to a sharp encounter.Mr.Meigben concurred that the act was inapplicable to any war but the past war.But, he complained, the fact that it had not been repealed was used as a basis for bitted assault during the election campaign against members of his administration.Hon.Ernest Lapointe, Minister of Marine, retorted that members of 4be Meighcn Cabinet had attacked Liberals because the Military Service Act had not been repealed.The debate gave every evidence of being protracted, but the Speaker brought it to an abrupt close.He had taken legal advice and was of the opinion that the act was dead.Hence, it could not be repealed.\u201cTherefore,\u201d he added, \u201cI declare that this bill be dropped and discussion not proceeded,\u201d and the debate ended.Hon.W.L.Mackenzie King stated that it was the intention of the Government to reconstitute the Gillen conciliation board.Third reading was given to the interim supply bill.The civil government estimates of the Department of Agriculture were passed.Tpday in the House of Commons, the resolution in regard to the Department of Defence will be first taken up and then the bill passed on the resolution.Afterwards the House will go into supply on the estimates of the Department of Indian Affairs, to be followed by those of the Department Finance.The Senate will not sit.(Associated Press Despatch.)

victory of Premier Lloyd George in the House of Commons yesterday, when he was given the confidence of the House by a vote of 372 to 94, has had the effect of a quick, violent thunder-storm in clearing the political atmosphere.Apparently, stung by intimations that he was dodging a direct vote of confidence in presenting his re-i-ilution calling for support of the Government\u2019s policy toward the Genoa Conference, the Premier threw down the gauntlet early in the debate and declared the cabinet would stand or fall on the result of the division.The result left no doubt ns to the strength of the Government.The opposition oenired Its attack behind the laborite amendment, which would have declared lack of confidence in the Government.When that went down in an avalanche of

the enterprise and with much at stake, must win succe: or lose heavily.The test of practicability' should preced and not follow the appeal to the public.say, not many of the flowers reach their mark.This gives an opportunity to the hundreds of urchins who swarm beside the wheels.They sell the fallen flowers again and again, and since the battle lasts for several hours, and a fashionable gallant does not wish to be caught without ammunition, the.youngsters\u2019 business thrives.Today\u2019s a holiday in Nice, but there are battles of flowers in many other cities of the continent and of England, through the spring season, not all connected with the carnival season, but most of them harking back to ancient pagan festivals of spring.PARAGRAPHS Democracy: Tyranny' by groups instead of an individual.\u2022 * * Of course the stars get big salaries, but think what the drug peddlers make.\u2022 A * Naturally enough, it is a reign of lawlessness that keeps the country w'et in spots.a The first letter m LEGAL DELAY AVOIDED.The adoption of a law whereby it would suffice t sign an agreement between creditor and debtor, befo.a notary public, is receiving the attention of the Men.real Chambre de Commerce.Mr.Morin, who introduce the subject, refers to it as an economical method c collecting debts and holds that lengthy delays and heav; expenses, caused by court actions to recover debts, coni', easily be avoided.Mr.Morin suggests that the simplest method wouk be for debtor and creditor to present themselves befor a notary and both sign a document describing th amount of the debt, the date of payment, conditions, etc When the debt becomes due and is not met, the crédite can demand a copy of the document, and after certai.formalities, he can then seize the property of the debte.through a bailiff; in other words, he would enjoy th» same privileges as if he had received a judgment fror.the court, but without the delay and expense which this necessitates.Such an act, passed before a notary, would really bt a private law between the two parties; it is a contrac freely entered into, and a contract which either party i.at liberty to enforce.In the event of dispute about thi debt, due to possible falsification, there would always be recourse to the tribunals.speecer\u2019s obituary is let \u2019er go.» * * A scrap of paper came near to wrecking civilization;

How delicate the fabric of our joys! Hotv fragile the pitcher we would fill at Life\u2019s rich well! Dees the thoughtless creature, blunderingly jostlin; all who cross his path, eventually come to justice?Assuredly.He who co7»istently is careless of others wi!.some time be careless of those who are near and dear to him.And he will know a meed of the bitter anguish he has sown.Have we any safeguard against the unthinking?Only this, that we avoid him when we can and so dedicate ourselves to bringing a full measure of contentment to others that the shaft* of Fate may lose some force against our armor of high resolve.Said Cowper: I would not enter on my list of friends (Though graced with polish\u2019d manners and fine sense, Yet wanting sensibility) the man Wno needlessly sets foot upon a worm, Then avoiding the unthinking, and considerately governing our own conduct that it may make many-happy and none distressed, we may find our spirit deep-tned with resource for every need.A GOOD THING BOUND TO SPREAD.(Springfield Republican.)

The case is now before the courts and comment i would be obviously improper; but it may be said with; propriety that the action taken, if it results in a ; thorough clean-up of the whole affair, will meet with .eneral approval.To have ignored the demand for uch a clean-up would have weakened public confidence, not only in the banking institutions of the country but in the Government as well.BRING DOWN THE RATES.(Winnipeg Telegram.) Grant the privileged position of the railways.There never was a privilege which did not pre-mppose a corresponding obligation and submi-saion to an authority able to enforce it.This authority is the Government of the country, which is the final guardian of the civilization over which it rules.If the managements of the railways, from near-sighted greed or lack of enlightened self-interest, are maintaining destructive rates they should be promptly dealt with.British Authors \u201cSee America First\u201d and Get Rich; Let\u2019s Discover England, Says Leacock Humorist Reports \u201cImpressions\u201d of English Life In Style of Visitors Who Write Up United States 1 fS THERE an organized trade In American \u2018 impressions\u201d carried on by British lecturers and literary men at our expense?Stephen.Leacock, the humorist, says theie is, and in the April Harper\u2019s Magasine declares that the exporting of impressions has now been going on so long that the balance of trade has been seriously disturbed.Mr.Leacock advocates reprisals, and in order that the Englishmen shall not have it all their own way, he has come out with an article entitled \u201cMy Discovery of England,\u201d written in the best manner of the Britisher discovering America.\u201cFor some years past,\" he says, \u201c a rising tide of lecturers and literary men from England has washed upon the shores of this continent.They come over to us traveling in great simplicity, and return in the ducal suite of the \u201cAquitaina\u201d.They carry away with them their impressions of America, and when they reach England they sell them.\u201cThis irregular and one-sided traffic has now assumed such great proportions that we are compelled STEPHEN LEACOUK WILL AMERICA DO HER DUTY.(Christian Science Monitor.) The guarded report from Washington that the President \u201cis considering asking Congress to authorize -he appointment of an American as member of the Reparations Commission\u201d bears some promise of a rift n the cloud that is darkening the world.In the vital interest, not only of the world at large, but of the \\merican people themselves, America must abandon |ANBOY SCOUT3 which her material predominance and her correspond- -n,, t^j-,\t1 \"-\u2022I\ti»*»*\u2019* w» bi- !.0 to ask whether it is right to allow\tTLA; these neonle to carrv awav from ment of ^Slish lecturers in Amer tnese people to carry away from ^, included a complete suit of °\tcloihes- » dress shirt for lecturing commercial value without giv ng .fountain pen, and a silk hat us any pecuniary compensation \u2019\t*\t\u2019 whatever.English lecturers have '¦.r:.¦ , -.\u2014 been known to land in New York,\t____^ pass the customs, drive uptown in a closed taxi, and then forward to England from the closed taxi itself ten dollars\u2019 worth of impressions of American national character.I have myself seen srn English literary man\u2014the biggest, I believe; he had at least the appearance of it\u2014sitting in the corridor of a fashionable New York hotel and looking gloomily into his hat, and then from his very hat produce »n estimate of the genius, of America at twenty cents a word.The nice question as to whose twenty cents that was never seems to have occurred to him.\u201d After assuring us that he is not animated in the faintest degree by jealousy, and that he is prepared to admit the extraordinary ability of our visitors to absorb impressions, Uie writer submits that these impressions are inadequate and fail to depict us as we really are.By way of illustration he cites some impressions ga-thered from various visitors\u2019 discoveries of America and reproduced, he says, not, perhaps, word for word, but as closely as he can remember them.\u201c \u2018New York,\u2019 writes one, \u2018nestling at the foot of the Hudson, gave me an impression, of coziness, of tiny graciousness; in short, of weeness.\u2019 But compare this: \u2018New York,\u2019 according to another discoverer of America, \u2018gave me am impression of size, of vastness; there seemed to me a bigness about it not found in smaller places.\u2019 A third visitor writes: \u2018New York fetruck me as hard, cruel, almost inhuman.' This, I think, was because his taxi driver had charged him three dollars.\u201c T took from Pittsburg,\u2019 sa-ys an English visitor, \u2018an impression of something that I could hardly define\u2014an atmosphere rather than an idea.\u2019 \u201cAll very well.But, after all, had he the right to take it?Granted that Pittsburgh has am atmosphere rather an idea, the attempt to carry away this atmosphere surely borders on rapacity.\u201c 'New Orleans,\u2019 writes another visitor, \u2018opened her arms to me and bestowed upon me the soft amd languorous kiss of the Cari-bean.' This statement may or may not be true; but in any ease It hardly seems the fair thing to mention it.\u2019 \u201c Chicago,\u2019 according to another book of discovery, 'struck me as a large city.Situated as it Is, it seems destined to be a place of great importance,\u2019 \u201cOr here, again, is a form of \u2018Impression\u2019 that recurs again and again: \u2018At Cleveland I felt a distinct note of optimism in the air.' \u201cThis same note of optimism la found also at Toledo, at Toronto\u2014 in fact, I believe it indicates nothing more than that somebody gave the visitor a cigar.\u201cIn tha course of time,\u201d continues Mr.Leacock, \u201c a considerable public feeling was aroused In the United States and Canada* over this state of affairs.The lack of reciprocity in It seemed unfair.It was felt (or at least I felt) that the time had come when some one ought to go over and take some impressions of England.The choice of such a person (my choice) fell upon myself.By *n arrangement with the Geographical Society of America, acting in conjunction with the Royal Geographic Society of England (to both of which I communicated my project), I went at my own expense.\u201cIt is scarcely feasible to give la city of clean streets and admir here full details In regard to my ; able sidewalks, and has an excel-outflt and equipment, though I ! lent water supply.One Is at once struck by the number of excellent and well-appointed motor cars that one sees on every hand, the neatness of the shops, and the cleanliness and cheerfulness of the faces of the people.In short, as an hope to do so In a later *nd more extended account of my expedition.Suffice It to say that my outfit, which was modeled on the equlp- the London County Bank, whlck represents the People's Deposit Company, of Yonkers, New York, are said to be in the neighborhood.\u201cBeyond the city and farther down the river the visitor finds this district of London terminating in the gloomy and forbidding Tower, the principal penitentiary of the metropolis.Here Queen Victoria was imprisoned for many years.\u201cExcellent gasoline can be had at the American garage immediately north of the Tower, where motor repairs of all kinds are also carried on.\u201cThese, however, are but superficial pictures of London, gathersd by the eye of the tourist.A far deeper meaning is found in the examination of the great historic monuments of the city.The principal ones of these are the Tower of Loudon (Just mentioned), the British Museum, and Westminster Abbey.No visitor to London should fail to see these.Indeed, he ought to feel that his visit to England is wasted unless he has seen them.I speak strongly on the point because I feel strongly on it.To my mind there is something about the grim fascln&tioB of the historic Tower, the clois-English visitor sa*id of Peterbor-1 tered quiet of the Museum, and ough, Ontario, there is a distinct |the majesty of the ancient Abbey, note of optimism in the air.I; which will make it the regret of forget who it was who said this, jmy life that I didn\u2019t see one of th*: but at any rate I have been in three.I fully meant to, but I Peterborough myself and I have fa-iled; and I can only hope that seen it.\u201d\tthe circumstances of my failure After commenting on the fact may be helpful to other visitors, that he was not met at the depot \u201cThe Tower of London I most by any leading citizens or member ; certainly intended to inspect, of the Municipal Council, and that [Each day, after the fashion of he was not presented with a cigar;every tourist, I wrote for myself or driven to view the principal ja little list of things to do, and points of interest, the writer gives jl always put the Tower of London the impressions he was able to!on it.No donbt the reader knows form by himself.\t;the kind of little list that I mean.that I want to see class hatred carried to the point where it forces everyone into brotherly love.Now do I get In?\u2019 \u201cThe official looked puzzled for a minute.\u2018You are not Irish, are you, sir?\u2019 he ssvid \u201c \u2018No.\u2019 \u201c \u2018Then I think you can come in all right,\u2019 he answe-red.\u201d In his description of London Mr.Leacock has given what is probably the first satisfactory \u201cimpression\u201d of the British metropolis done in the manner of an English visitor describing an American city.\u201cLondon,\u201d he writes, \u201cthe name of which is already known to millions of American readers, is bearutifully situated on the river Thames, which here sweepe in a wide curve and has mush the same breadth and majesty as the St.Jo River at South Bend, Indiana.London, dike South Bend itself, is \u201cThe city,\u201d he says, \u201cIs able to boast of many handsome public buildings and offices which compare favorably with anything on the other side of the Atlantic.On the besik of the Thames itself rises the power house of the Westminster Electric Supply Corporation, a handsome modern edifice in the It runs: \u201c1.Go to bank.\u201d2.Buy a shirt.\u201c3.Nation»!
