The British Parliament.

The Parliament of Great Britain, the
supreme legislative body of the British
empire. IS summoned by a writ of the
sovereign, issued out of chancery at
least thirty-five days previous to the
time of meeting. If a vacancy occurs
in the Commons while in session a writ
Of election Is issued upon motion in the
House; il during a recess, at the IN
stance Of the Speaker. During recent
years It has become customary for
Parliament to meet in an annual ses-
sion. extending from about the middle
Of February to about the end Of Au-
gust. Every annual session is ended by
a Propagation: a Parliament is closed
with a dissolution, the average life Of
Tictoria's Parliaments being about
three and a half years. The dissolution
Of Parliament may occur at any time
by the will of the sovereign. and a new
election must then be held. Seven years
constitute the statutory limit of a Par
iiamSut's life. but no Parliament ha3
in the present century lasted so long.
The members of the Commons are all
elected for one Parliament and receive
no salary. The members of the House
of Lords are divided into five classes,
the peers holding their seats ~ by
hereditary right; 90 by creation Of the
sovereign; 81 by virtue of office, as N
the case of the English bishops; "a by
election for life. as in the case Of the
Irish peers; t5) by election for the dura-
ton of one Parliament, as in the cast
of the Scottish peers. In 1896 the up
per house had $40 names on its rolls; In
the same year the House of Commons
numbered $40.

her own independence from Turkish
present century. Indeed, as Prince
George started for Cretan waters the
other day with his flotilla of torpedo
boats. almost the last words Prime
Minister Delyannis said to him We're:
May the spirit of the great Canaris
hover over your Highness and your
brave men, inspiring you to maintain
nobly the traditions of the Hellenic
navyl"
Here is probably what Delyannis had
in mind: The Greece of to-day lacks
the larger vessels of war fully az
much as did the Greece of 1920. but at
that earlier period she possessed for
midable weapon in the dreadful fire
ship, and under Canaris's lead the
enemys naval power was almost de-
stroyed by this primitive method of
attack The fre-ship of the past has
beeen supplanted by the torpedo-boat
of the pre- sent, an engine of war call
ing into play almost the same quail
ties as its predecessor-pluck, skill,
dash, and rapidity in handling. And
Delyannis was therefore anticipating
that the deeds of the early part of the
century would be repeated at its close
in a mode of warfare for which his
countrymen are both by nature and
temperament eminently fitted.
The story of Greece's struggle for in
dependence both by land and sea has
formed the subject of many volumes
of prose and verse.-Harper's Round

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE re-
cent appointment of eX-Secretary Eos
ter and eX-Assistant Secretary Hamlin
by the President to assist in the ne
gotiations now in progress with Great
Britain respecting the Behring Sea
sealing fisheries is Indicative that this
longstanding diplomatic issue has at
last assumed grave Importance and
that an earnest effort is to be made
to end the present unsatisfactory state
of affairs, or to place the subject on
such a footing before the beginning of
the approaching open season as will
prevent it from passing into a more
serious phase.
The diplomatic correspondence of the
past year makes it evident that a Sc
we're strain was placed upon the pa
thence of the officials of both the Unit
ed States and Great Britain and the
warning given quietly, yet firmly by
the British Premier that further pro-
ceedingS by the American revenue cut
ters in the line of last years pro-
gramme would not be tolerated and the
intimation from Secretary Olney that
there would be no change unless addi-
tional restrictions We're imposed upon
the British sealing vessels, hold out
latent possibilities of a serious entan-
clement for the two friendly Powers
