ton, paid a warm tribute to Lord Kitch-
ener as a soldier and statesman.
John Dillon, Irish nationalist, led the
opposition in behalf of the n~ationalists.
William Redmond Irish nationalist,
caused a scene of great disorder by re-
marking that Lord Kitchener would go
down to history as a general who had
made war on women and children"
This remark called forth loud cries of
withdraw" and appeals to the chair
man to call Mr.. Redmond to order. The
chairman Ia the expression used was
not disorderly but a majority of the
house refused to listen any further to
Mr.. Redmond and interrupted him with
all kinds of shouts.

gain a hearing, the closure was moved

to Great Rritain's assistance.
Earl Spencer, the liberal leader in the
house of lords added his tribute TO the

necessary to comprehend that this war
was a guerrilla conflict. Responsibility
was divided and rested on captains. first
and second lieutenants, and sergeants.
In regard to the General Smith case

findings. and handed it 10 President
Roosevelt. The inadequacy of the cable

scious, makes il impracticable to pass
any judgment on the case. but we can
count on President Roosevelt doing JUS
tice in the case.
Now that the instruction is over, ii
anyone has been guilty of brutality, he
ought to be condemned, but / do think
IL would be wrong to make these excep
tional cases the cause Of defeat OF the
party. which / think should remain in
power. The success Of the opposing fac
tons would interfere with our giving to
