To-day is another red letter day the history of Kingston, a day to remembered for many days to come, Once again' the streets re- gound to the {ramping of marching feet Once again the flags wave and the banners toss from the build- ings. 'Once again the citizens line the streets to welcome back to their homeland the remnants of the heroic band which, at the first call of duty, jumped to arms and sailed from Canada as the advance guard of the great Canadian Army which followed it. | To-day the survivors of that gal- lint first contingent, together with many of those who followed them overseas, are returning to us. welcome them as citizens of a city which contributed largely to Our cheers are intend- ed to show them that they are in- deed welcome, and that we are proud of what they have done for our country and our Empire, No words can adequately mutter our thabks to them, but by our re ception we endeavor to express the gratitude that is in our hearts. Men of the gallant first division, wel- come home! You went from your homes to fight that we might live in safety here in Canada You have played a noblp part Your names and your fame will live I)r aver in the history of the world, and to-day, when you are coming back to your homes and your loved ones, we greet you. Words are too feebla to express the measure of the welcome we es- tend to you. Our arms and our hearts are opened to you, and we want you to feel thai you are com- ing home to a people who are worthy of the sacrifices you have made. The people of Kingstor honor you The citizens are glad to have you back. Many of your comrades now lle with their faces to the foe. For these we sorrow and rejoice.

(Canadian Press Despatch) Paris, April 23.--Premier Orlando threatens to return to Italy to-day unless there is a satisfactory adjust- ment of the Fium and Dalmatian questions, Premier Lloyd George is trying to persuade the ltalian leader to remain in Purid longer. while he continues efforts to reconcile the op- posing . view. points. It became known to-day that Lloyd George tried unsuccessfully during the discussion last night to find a basis for an agreement between the differing viewpoints of Wilson and Orlando. The facts of the deadlock over the Italian cluims in the Adriatic, ac- cording to the Petit Parisien, are as follows: President Wilson proposed that Fium, which is not mentioned in the Treaty of London, should be a free city, but attached to the Jugo- Slav customs system and further that the London treaty should be subjected to total revision. Italy re- fused to accept this proposal, where- upon President WH withdrew, leaving Italy alone with the repres- entatives of the other signatories of the treaty. the representatives of the signator- ies, both Premier Orlando and For- eign Minister Sonmino were coneilia~ tory, Orlando, especially, having asked repeatedly on what condition France and.

The question 'was asked in the House of Commons last night by Arclrie McCoig, the Liberal mem- ber for Kent, who vigorously pro: tested against the arrangement that loaded down the Toronto-Ot- tawa train on the Government rail- way with the private cars of mini- sters and Government officials while mere members of Parliament and business men, hurrying to the Capital to attend to their duties, were "idlenled: accommodation "or a4 best given standing room in a third class car. Sir Thomas White, the Acting Prime Minister, had a private ear all to himself; General Mewburn, the Minister of Militia, had a spe- cial car for himself and party, and D. B. Hanna, president of the C. N. R., had a private car. Sir Henry Drayton, chairman of the Dominion Railway Commission, alse would have had a special car, but the train of eleven coaches was all that the locombtive could haul, and Sir Henry had to share Mr. Hanna's car. This all happened Monday night on the Canadian National train from Toronto to Ottawa. Nor wag public ownership alded when the strdining locomotive ran io an improperly packed switch near Smith's Falls, derailing seven or eight of the coaches and doing much damage, but fortunately in- juring no one. The pessengers were roused from their berths at six a.m. and as they drank in the frosty air and devoured the 'beauti- ful scenery of {he Rideau Lake dis- trict with their eyes they saiffed the odor of fresh coffee coming from the direction of the ministers' | cars and had the pleasure of look- ing in from the outside while the privileged few in the private cars smacked their lips over ham and eggs. Was this the way to make or break confidence in the progressive policy of public ownership or trans- Hon. Dr. Reid agreed that a train should not be loaded down with private cars. It just happened that several ministers were return- ing from their Easter holidays and were coming to the Capital on that train, he said. He was sorry the plain people had had to pay for their own break- fasts. He was glad Mr. McColg had brought the matter up, but maln- tained that private cars were not used as much by ministers in the present Government as they had been in the last ten or fifteen years. It was really accidental that there were three private cars on Monday night's train, but "after all, it is al- most an absolute necessity: that these private cars be used oceasion- ally," he explained.

WEONESDAY, TWO EXPLANATIONS OF TITLES ACTION Ottawa Discusses Two Reasons For the Commons' Divi- sion on Nickle Motion. ---- Ottawa, April 23.--Two explana- tions are offered by friends of the government here in the matter of the division of Mr. Niekle's motion to abolish hereditary titles, The first is that when Sir Robert Borden op- posed the motion a year ago, and when his colleagues asked the house this session to sepd the question to a committee, they had in view the pos sibility that Sir Robert might be re- tiring at an early dwte, and if he were offered a peerage he might not be able to accept it in view of any such vote having passed the House of Com- mons in Canada. In other words, the question is to be left open in order to allow the peace treaty to be signed and To give Sir Robert a chance, it the opportunity comes his way, to accept a peerage if he go desires. A further explanation ven is that quite a number of Canadians have distinguished themselves by war ser- vice of one kind and another, and that both the government at Ottawa and the British government would like to be free toirecognize them by knighthoods. I the Canadian par- lament puts itself om record as against imperial Bonors it might be impossible to re ize the service of several Canadians that the British government would like to honor. TARIFF POLICY NOT ANNOUNCED It Will Be In Budoet Speech, Sir Tromas Kite Says. REPLIES T0 0. D. McKENZIE WHO ASKED IF THERE WOULD BE REDUCTION... S-- Operation and Regulations Passed Under the War Measures Act to Be Considered. Ottawa, April 23. In the House yesterday afternoon D. D, McKenzie asked the Acting Prime Minister if the reported speech of the member for Regina that there would be a substantial reduction in the tariff GoYernment's policy. « Sir Thomas White stated the tariff policy was only ahnouncéd in the budget speech. « As to the return of Sir Robert Bor- den, the Acting Prime Minister could not inform Ernest Lapointe, Kamou- raska, as to the date. "He will be back as soon as his duties will per- mit," said Sir Thomas, "and I know he is anxious: to return." s Hon. C. C. Ballantyne, Minister of Marine, made his first appearance in the House this season. He has been recuperating in the south, The House intended to take up the act to extend the operation and regu- lations passed by Order-tn-Couneil under the War Measures Act, but as members of the . Oppesition were anxious to consider the bill before it) was taken up in the House, owing to it being of a Contentious nature, this was left over till to-day.

"I have séen in the papers talk of such a parade," he said; "but nothing official has come through, and I camn- not believe that it would be so ar- ranged as to delay demobilization."

(Canadian Press Despatch) London, April 23.,--The rumor that a Soviet Government had been set up in Turkey remains entirely without confirmation, and is now treated 'with considerable 'incredal- ity. It is pointed out that the source of the news (Odessa) is In the hands of the Bolshevik and that British warships at Constantinople, being equipped with wireless plants, might have been expedited to report the fact, if the rumor was true, but nothing has been heard from the fleet. Terror in Budapest. (Canadian Press Despatch) Budapest, April 22.--This eity is going through a crisis worse than that of April 3rd. There is appre- hension that there 'will be a violeat swing to anarchy with the Social- ists losing control to the Bolshevik leaders like Bela Kun and the chiefs of the Red Guard. Looting, which hitherto has been held in check, or legalized as "nationalization of pro- perty,"" and the assassination of the old polltical leaders and aristo- crats, are feared. Reports are {&urrent that Ru- manians and Czechs have received orders from the Allies to march on Budapest. It is felt, however, that the Rumanians are advancing merely to occupy the territdies set aside for them by the Allied note of March 20th. The fact that the communists are unable to prevent the Allies from occupying the dis- tricts involved is weakening the in- fluence of Bela Kun and is causing violent "hatred against the Allies among the Hungarians. Disturbances at Hamburg. (Canadian Press Despatch) Berlin, April 23.--There have been serious disturbances at Ham- burg during the week-end. A 'mob plundered the harbor quarter and clashed with the alice, several people being killed and wounded.

A policeman 'was killed and several others were wounded, but the rioters suffered worse than the officers. Rioting was renewed to-day, arms being distributed to mobs in St. Pauli. Several police depots werd attack- ed, and one was captured by mobs. BOLSHEVIK: SIGN A SHORT ARMISTICE Seven-Day Respite In Fighting Agreed Upon With French Soviet Reverses. London, April '23.--T¥e Bolshe- vik and French armies in the Crimea have signed a seven-day armistice, a despatch to the Evening News re- ported tosday. y Just before the agreement was reached on Saturday, the French re- took Tamelonvent, just outside of Sebastopol, at the point of the bay- onet, .
