Tyler's "Devilshoof" is a rip-roar- ing chap, with unbpunded humor. i Tyler plays the part with the use of sublimated slapsticks that no one can find fault with.

FIELDING'S VIEW OF YUKON AFFAIR Refusal to Give Seat to Thomp= son Would Mean Premier's Disfranchisement. ---- i Ottawa, May. 22.-- That the Yukon soldiers would not be disfranchised by refusing to give Dr. Thompson his seal but that it would mean the dis- franchisement of the Prime Minister, was the basis of an aggressive speecu by Hon. Mr. Fielding in the House ) was Mr. Fielding's first real effort of the ses- sion, and the Opposition cheered him to the echo. He paused 0 Bisubicu. on the fact that both Mr. and Dr. Thompson stood for con- scription, and that the Premier threw the votes to, what Mr, Fielding called the Conservative conscriptionist as the 'Marble Halls," that song that! opposed to the Liberal conseription= This meant, he said, that the | soldiers voted for conscription and not or either candigates, so that ir the votes were lost it was the Pre- mier's loss and not the soldiers. "There are men in the House and out of it who, when they have no case lo present, must fall back on the glorious story of Vimy Ridge anu Ypres," declared Mr. Fielding with withering scorn. "There are those in this House who have veneration for the War Times Elections Act--i am not one of them." : The House divided on the Devlin amendment, which s defeated by 103 ito 68. Mr. Devhn moved that the report of the general returning officer be referred to the Supreme Court for adjudication and decision, and that decision of the Supreme Court be referred to the House for such action as it might deem proper.
