Says Patients Averted Tragedy. London, Ont. Feb. 21.---Neglect of the patients by the nurses at the asylum was charged by Mrs. Throw- er, of Watford, a former patient, in her evidence at the investigation into conditions at that institution. Oa one particular occasion, two patients had been bathed in the same water in a bath. One of the nurses had taken her patients out for a walk, but re- fused to take one of them. As a re- sult, the patient who was left behind had secured a butcher knife, and was about to cut her throat. No nurses were in the ward at the time, but the other patients averted a tragedy.

Dr. Schaffer, m. er of justice, told a representative of the Zweelf Blatt yesterday. The minister said that the accused persons would be tried at Leipsig by a court consisting of Ger- man witnesses will be heard in ac- corddnce with the prescriptions of criminal trial regulations, and will be examined abroad if:they do. not care to come to Gérmany. It was trates would go to other countries to be present at the taking of evi- dence. 7Accused persons who do not respond to the summons .to appear before the Imperial court will have to be arrested, and the German authorities will in any case do every- thing to expedite the proceedings as far as possible, on the principle that each accused would necessarily have to be tried Jdndividually. Df Schal- fer emphatically said that the gov- ernment regarded it an affair of honor to punish those really guilty. The Government, however, was not obeying the Entente's will in carry- ing out this trial, he asserted, but was fulfilling the requirements of any ordered state. A PROBLEM BEFORE THE PARTY | The Cabinet to Consult Mem= | bers Soon After House Is Opened: Ottawa, Feb. 21,~--When the mem- {bers of Parliament from all sections | counsel will be taken of them by the | Government as to the most oppor- tune time for having a general -elec- tion. The cabinet has discussed the matter informally, but there is no conglusive opinion. The situation is such that it cannot easily be formu- lated. On the one hand is the argument [that the present Government and | Parliament were elected essentially | for period of war and reconstruction. | The war is over. Reconstruction is { advanced, but it will take years to { complete, if it is ever complete, so that to go to the constitutional limit of the parliamentary {erm could be justified. . Some of the ministers think an election is gue this year and others would defer it till 1922. Failure to unite on a policy on the question of permanency might precipitate disso- lation and an election, but if there i8 an agreement it will resolve itself to a question of when is the most op- portune time to go to the country. | Both on the questions of policy and dissolution the counsel of the members fresh from the eonstituen- cies will be an coming to a conelusion.

Bro: Fitzgerald, in introducing Brig.-Gen.

This was a mistake for they went out as much for themselves as for gonyone else and should be glad to come back and enjoy what was accomplished. He was glad that had served, not in one war, but in two and had been a private in the ranks, for it placed him in' a better position as adminis- trator of the Government unemploy- ment fund.to deal properly with the peculiar cases that came to his at- tention. He was glad to be able to | say' that those who were m st criti- | cal and bard to suit were not Cdna- dians or British.

Ross said that many | men suffered because of some trivial | military offence during their period | of service, but he was glad to be able to say that the Government was con- sidering the cancellation of all dis- charge certificates, that placed amy stigma upon a man who had been disciplined while in the army. C. S. Park, past grand master, paid a high tribute to the men who had served their country. He believed that they had by their service learned in its fullest sense the great lessons that Oddfellowship tried $0 teach and 'were 'richer in knowledge and understanding 'by reason of that ex- perience.
