Worty Members Are to, Be Nomi- nated in Equal Numbers by the Two Parliaments. London, Nov. 6.--Under the new Home "Rule solution adopted by the sub-committee of the Cabinet, 'which provides for the creation of two Par- laments for Ireland, one for Ulster and the other for the remaining three provinces, it is proposed that there shall be a Council of Ireland, con' sisting of about forty members, to be nominated in equal numbers by the two Parliaments, These propositions, according to the Daily Telegraph, are understood to have been favorably received by the full committee. The next step will be elaborate. details of the scheme. Until matters shall be further ad- vanced nothing can be said as-to the services likely to be reserved to the Imperial Parliament, but an import ant feature of the plan 1s that it con- y templates the delegation of some of the reserved power, after a time, to the Couneil of Ireland. As regards Ulster, the scheme is based on the idea of "The clean-cut" county option being entirely ruled out. Ulster would, in fact, be treated a8 a geographical unit, and the whole of the nine counties in the province would be embraced within the admin- Istrative area of the morthern Par- lament, H.R.H.

KILLS THE "PHANTOM OF THE NORTH WOODS" White Deer of Adirondack Mountains Brought Down by Expert Hunter. Saranac Lake, Nov. 6.-- "The phan- tom of the north woods," a white deer, one of the curiosities of the Ad- frondack mountains, was killed by a hunter, and is on exhibition here, attracting wide attention of hunters The animal, a doe, is entirely white except for a few tufts of brown on the head. The doe weighed 100 pounds, and was estimated to be two years old. The "phantom," for that {was what it came to me called near {8t. Regis Falls, where it had eluded hunter two seasons, fell with a bul- let through its head. Fred Forshay, of Carmel, brought the much-prized deer to earth with a remarkable shot when out hunting near his camp. « Fred Cheney, a registered guide, who is one of the best woodsmen in the vicinity of the Falls, and who is proprietor of the Red House, had charge of the party, and when the phantom fell he had much to tell of it. His sons, he said, had seen the queer animal several times bounding through the woods like a white flash, and many hunters had shot at it. This was borne out by marks on the animal's hide made by bullets. The shot that gave Forshay the prize was a direct hit. TACKLES HECKLERS IN GREAT STYLE Addressed as Your Ladyship, Lady Astor Says "Wash That Out." London, Nov. 6.--Lady Astor's re- plies to hecklers have been a feature of the daily newspapers. They relate, among other incidents that Lady Astor' was accosted by a woman with en electoral. question which the woman introduced with "your ladyship."" To this Lady Ast- or retorted, 'Please wash that out." Lady Astor told the story of how she saw a young American sailor looking at the outside of the House of Commons. She asked him if he would ltke to go inside, to which the sallor replied with dignity, "you are the sort of woman my mother told me to avoid." After loud laughter by her hearers had subsided, Lady Astor added: "You know we've got to take risks, You know, nothing risked, nothing won." as Ex-Kaiser Called an Imbecile, Copenhagen, Nov. §.--The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger, a copy of which has been received here, reports that Pre- paler Hoffman of Bavaria has protest- 'od against the prohibition of a public celebration Nov. 7, on the occasion of the first anniversary of the German ravolution. Premier Hoffman, the newspaper says, declared that reac- tion was on the march and that sup- pression of the celebration emanated from the bourgeois society, which was responsible for the war because it had "maintained an imbecile monarch on the throne."

Turner Admitted Having Disobeyed the British Ad- miraity Instructions. ---- London, Nov. 6.--A Parliamentary paper, 'made public yesterday, con- taining' secret evidence in the inquiry into the sinking of the Lusitania shows that Captain W. T. Turner of the Lusitania admitted that he dis- obeyed the instructions of the Admir. alty in steaming only at the rate of 18 knots an hour. The captain testified, however, that had he gone faster the Lusitania would have reached the bar at Liver- pool before the vessel could cross it, owing to tidal eonditions. * - Capt. Turner also testified that he had not steered a zigzag course at Tull speed, as the Admiralty had or- déred, because he thought his order applied only when a submarine had been sighted. It was contended by Dapt. Turner that, although he had been warned by the Admiralty te avoid the head- lands, he was justified in coming within ten miles of Old Head of Kin- sale (near where the Lusitania was torpedoed) in order to. fix his posi- tion. If he had remained longer out of sight of land, he declared, the weather might have become foggy and he would have been worse off. Capt. Turper claimed that the course he steered was far enough from land, #f it was not exactly in mid-channel. He was trying his best, he -sadd, 0 follow the Admiralt in- r but his aim was to find land.

Turn oe Tamer i a HATES DRUM KID OF INPERIALSY Lord Milner Docs Not Like Bombast of Drum And Trompet. HAS GREAT FATH HOWEVER IN BRITISH SHREWDNESS TO SET THINGS RIGHT. British Workmen Have Been Put Off By Claptrap About Jingoism and of Flag-Waving, Milner Says. London, Nov. 6.--""I simply hate the bombest of drum and trumpet Imperialism," declares Lord Milner, colonial secretary, in an interview in the Chronicle, "but I have seen in many lands how our Empire makes for peace and justice. What worried me is the thought of the chances we are now missing, for the immediate outlook is not good. There is much more trouble ahead before the industrial situation can be straightened out. It will doubt- less come right in the end. I must admit I can give no logical reason why I think so, it is just instinctive confidence in Britiish shrewdness and their inborn sense of the falsehood of extremes. Deliberate formentors of trouble may try to induce the Bri- tish © workman to cut his throat, but in the end he won't succeed. I do not believe working men would be less proud of the Empire than any otiher; Britons if only they were given some practical illustration of what it stands for, but they have been put off by claptrap about jingoism and of flag-waving. I do not say that in. building the Empire we have not been serving our own interests too. There is going to be a rare scramble among the industrial na- tions for raw materials and it is our good fortune that we have so many of those lands mnder our own con- trol." VOCATIONAL COURSES Applications 'Must be Made Within Three Months. Ottawa, Nov. §.--Ex-members of the Canadian forces wno desire to take advantage of the vocational re- training courses conducted by the De- partment of Soldiers' Civil Re-estab- lishment, and who have not yet made application, must do so before Febru- ary 1 mext. This is the effect of an order-inlcouncil, which states that lany ex-member of the Canadian naval or military forces shall not be entit- Jed to the benefits of re-tralning under the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-establishment unless applica- tion for courses of re-training is made within three months after the first of November, or three months after date of discharge from such forces, which ever is the later. Where an ex-member of the forces has been transferred from the De- partment of Militia and Defence to the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-establishment for a continuation of treament, such ex-member of the forces shall be allowed three months from the date of retirement or dis- charge, or from the conclusion of such treatment, in which to make application foor the benefits of re- training.

Winnipeg, Nov. 6.--The Manitoba Grain Growers' Association has issued a manifesto ¢laiming the farmers' political platform is one that would deliver the toiler, whether on theland or in the city, from the injustices of the protective system and raise the standard of lving all round, that it is a moral protest against existing wrongs, that it is an economic pro- gramme looking to a more widespread prosperity, and that it is a political platform proposing a saner, more complete and more effective democ- racy.

Fredericton, N.B. | Or, SHOULD THEY TRADE WITH THE GERMANS ? | London, Nov. 6.--British | merchants are very much in the | air on the point as to whether | they should trade with the Ger- mans or not. There is not so much bitter- ness in opposition now as there was a few months ago. Then the textile trade section of the London Chamber of Commerce passed a resolution' deciding to have no trdde relations with Germany for at least ten years. Latterly, however, the mover of that resolution proposed at a meeting of the section another resolution of an exactly oppo- site effect, expressing the opin- ion that the resumption of busi- ness with Germany and other enemy countries should be re- garded as properly open to members of the section, but con- sideration of the motion was deferred. r AND ONLY EIGHTEEN A Girl Accused of Series of Bold Rob- beries. New York, Nov. 6.--An eighteen year old golden haired girl stood be- hind the bars of a West Side station while the police were checking up on twenty-three robberies which she and | a male companion aged twenty-four, | are charged with having made in the last two week®. The girl, who was expensively gowned, and her compan- fon were armed with revolvers when arrested... | They are alleged to have carried on 4 systematic campaign for the robbery of apartment houses by visiting fur- nished- rooms advertised for rent, making note of the surroundings and returning to rob. those that offered attractive plunder. A search of their home is said to have revealed stolen articles valued at thousands of dol- lars, The girl, who gave the name of!

OLAIMS COAL HELD BACK Ontario Fuel Administration Watch- ing Situation. Toronto, Nov. 6.--With 100,000 tons of soft coal destined for Cana- dian points already held at the border by United States railroads, which refuse fo turn the consignments over to Canadian lines, a situation has been created which Fuel Administrator H. A. Harrrington is bending every ener- gy to relieve, Mr. Harrington is in constant re- ceipt of messages indicating urgent need for coal in different quarters, and is trying to secure release of the coal which is accumulating on the other side of the border. dh hel oh | FERGUSON MAJORITY CUT.

Howard Ferguson a majority of 81 over G. Arthur Payne, the U.F.0. candidate. The returning officer's count gave a majority of 105 to Ferguson, but on recount Ferguson gained two and lost two, while Payne gained sirteen and lost two, making a net win for Payne of fourteen. In addition, in one of the polling places an error in addition gave Ferguson ten more than he was entitled to. Nearly Asphyxiated. Belleville, Nov. 4.--Police Officer J. Trulasch, of this city, his wife and six children, had « narrow escape from. asphyxiation from coal gas, which came from a coal stove. The officer was awakened at an early hour this morning by one of the children crying. He was so overcome by the gas he could scarcely reach the child, The other members of the family, especially Helen and Norah, two little girls, were severely affected. It was only by the prompt arrival of phy- siclans that the lives of some mem- bers of the family were saved. & Put $824,000,000 on Her Navy.

COL CURRIE AND DR. COWAN COME TO BLOWS IN CORRIDORS OF THE COMMONS Senator Longheed Favors Acquiring the Grand Trunk--The People De- mand Public Ownership, He De- clares, (Canadiati Press Despatch) Ottawa, Nov. 6.--If Parliament decides upon further general distri- i bution of gratuities for the veterans of the Great War, it will have to find another administration to carry on. That was the intimation to the House of Commons yesterday of Hon. James Calder, Minister of Immigration, and chairman of the special committee | onithe Soldiers 'Civil Re-establish- ment Bill, Col. Currie and Dr. Cowan, two members of parliament came to blows over an argument in the cor- ridor of the House, yesterday. Before the Grand Trunk Railway | bill was taken up in the Senate yes- terday afternoon Senator Donnelly directed attention to the fact that Ontario was entitled to twenty-four Senators, and was now three short. In view of that province's interest in the railway question, he demanded the vacancies be filled. (Ironmical laughter.) Sir James Lougheed gave no sign. Senator Lougheed said that not a member could be elected in Canada @s an opponent of public ownership. This was a sign of the times, and those who represented capital against public ownership would have to be- come as active as their opponents, For himself he favored acquisition of the Grand Trunk or any other road which would complete Canads' railway system. The suggestion will be thrown out in the Bemate that the Government dissolve and go to the country on the issue but no one expects the challen- ge to be taken up. If there is one thing, above all, which is not desired it is an election at this time and, while the Government and its sup- porters have the more to fear when dissolution does come, opposition te it, at this juncture, is by no means limited to one political party. Sain "WORK" TO SOLVE THE WORLD PROBLEMS The Farewell Message of the Veteran Premier to People of France. Strasbourg, Alsace, Nov. 6.--Ths solution of the many problems the world is now facing may be sum- marized dn the single word "work." Premier Clemenceau declared in his key-note speech for the Government party in the parliamentary elections campaign, delivered here yesterday. The speech also was the farewell message of the aged Prime Minister on the eve of the retirement from political life, which he contemplates. The Premier's address, he declar- ed, was not a message meant for France alone, but was an to the entire world tp renew its labors as they had been performed before the war and produce for the world's needs. M. Clemenceau briefly reviewed the treaty of Versailles, and sald that although France had been apparent- ly parsimoniously treated as to re- parations, he hoped confidently that the allies had not abandoned France. He said that England and America had not bargained for their blood and would not grudge financial help to France. Practically the entire intellectual, religious and military world in Al- sace were present at the function, which was most impressive. Admis- sion to the hall was limited, but a crowd of five thousand stood out- side. Noisier welcomes may have been accorded other speakers, but none which the correspondent has witnessed has shown deeper feeling than the welcome which greeted 'the liberator of Alsace," as M. Millerand introduced him. + i NEWS IN BULLETIN. Gen.
