London Aug, 5-The session OF parlia-
ment practically ended yesterday evening
and the propagation will tako- place on
wednesday. There seems to be a very
general belief that It will be the last full
session Of the present parliament. With
the kaleidoscope transformations occur
ring necessarily in foreign politics It is
difficult 70 forecas the result OF an appeal
to the country but unless some coup ic-
facilitates the prestige for the present
cabinet It Is not iificult to forteii a NOR

crease yet recorded. An analysis shows
that this spread Of lunacy is not con-
fined to any one class. although natursIlt,
| the largest Increase Is emopg paupers.
The situation Is regarded as so alarming
that an early official inquiry is demanded
into the causes and the best means of
combating them.
