Of the government. one OF the grounds on
which he based his attack was that the
government had abandoned Lord Sails
bury's policy. which, he declared, was
founded on an entente with Germany.
Austria and Italy for cooperation with
Russia and France. He especially at
tackled the government for assailing the
porte, whose friendship might yet be Of
enormous value TO Great Britain.
Sir William Nernon-HarcOurt, chancel-
lor Of the exchequer, stated that the gov
ernment was acting cordially with Russia
and France.
Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett-Where?
Sir William Nernon-Harcourt. Every
where. The object of the government Is
not to ally Great Britain with any group
of powers. but rather to remain friendly
with all European and American nations.
In conclusion Sir William declared that
there was not the slightest foundation for
the charge that the government was re-
pelling the friendship of Germany.

ment bonds met with defeat for about the
sixth time within the past eighteen months

$4,000 to build new boys high school
and to lay water mains and sewers. but
out Of a registration Of 5000, the bonds re-
ceived less than 1900 votes. The law re-
quired that they should receive two-thirds
of the number registered, the proposition
being defeated a great deal OF the op-
position was due to popular disapproval OF
spending 100000 for a high school build
ing, on the idea that the high schools are
more for the children Of the rich than for
those of the poor people.
