The musical held Tuesday even- ing at the Mouse of Providence was a rare and delightful treat for all Jousic-lovers and brought into evi- dence many. promising artists of sup- erior talents, ' Master Pelham Richardson, . who masters the viglin: with such ease; excelled himself as was seen by the hearty and repeated applause from the audience. The fantast!cs and pantomine were carried out in superb style and the various movements were done with 'a marvellous gracefulness that quite fascinated the onlookers. Miss B. Simpson in her solo "Ia Serenata," displayed an unsurpassed quality and a 'we 1 control of voice. She.and. -her sister, Miss Olive were welcome aumbers in whatever roles they appeared. It was in her violin selection that the latter distinguished hersel! to a high degree. . Little Miss Marjorie Lyons, a tot of six, showed a special gift for dramatization in' her unigue little recitation, "I'se Bad." The pantomine tableaux, the bhut« terfly fantastics and the Japanese fantasia are worthy of special men- tion and reflect credit upon those who took pant in them.

The facts of the deadlock over the Italian cludims in the Adriatic, ac- cording to the Petit Parisien, are as President * Wilson proposed that Fium, which is not mentioned in the Treaty of London, should be to-day and Dalmatian became for an differing "Drayton, chairman of the Dominion vate cars? The question was asked in the House of Commons last night by Archie McCoig, the Liberal mem- ber for Kent, who vigorously pro: tested against the arrangement that loaded down the Foronto-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 denied accommodation or g: best given standing room in a third class car. Sir Thomas White, the Acting Prime Minister, had a private -ear all to himself; General Mewbura, 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 Railway Commission, also would have had a special car, but the train of eleven éoacheg 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 was public ownership aided when the straining locomotive ran 10' 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 passengers were roused from their berths at six am., and as they drank in the frosty air and devoured the beauti- ful scenery of the Rideau Lake dis- trict with their eyes they saiffed the odor of fresh coffee coming from the direction of the ministgrs" cars and had the pleasure of look- ing iu from the outside while the privileged few in the private cars smacked their lige" over nam and eggs. Was this the way to make or break confidence in the progressive policy of public ownership or trans- portation facilities? ; Hon. Dr. Reid 'agreéd 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. McCoig had brought the matter wp, but main- 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 &il, it is al- most an absolute necessity - that these private cars be used occasion- ally," he expldined.

The first is that wliem Sir Robert Borden op- posed the motion a year ago, and when his colleagues asked the house this session ta sepd the question 10 a committee, they had in view the pos- sibilijy that Sir Robert might be re- tir at an early date, 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 léft 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 so desires. A further explanation given 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 like to be free to: recognize them by knighthoods. ¥ the Canadian par- liament puts itself on agninst imperial Bonors it might be impossible to recognize the serviee of several Canadians that the British 'government would like to honor.

BUDAPEST FEARS ANARCHY THE INFLUENCE OF BELA KUN IS WEAKENING. 7 Owing to His Inability to Check Allies--Serious Disturbances at Hamburg--Mob Plundered Har bor Quarter. (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- fty. 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 expected to report the fact, if the rumor was true, but nothing been heard from the fleet. has Terror in Budapest, (Canadian Press Despatch) Budapest, April 22.--This city is going through a crisis worse than that,of April 8rd. There is appre- hension that the will be a violent 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 political leaders and aristo- crats, are feared. Reports are- &urrent that Ru- manians and Czechs have received orders from the Allles to march on Budapest. It is felt, however, that the Rumanians are advancing merely to occupy the territgMies 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 Alljes among the Hungarians.

Several police depots were attack- ed, and one was captured by mobs. BOLSHEVIK: SIGN A SHORT ARMISTICE Seven-Day Respite in Fighting Agreed Upon With French --8oviet Reverses.
