The cases will come up for consId-

been rendering their service at a
remuneration which was not sutti-

nounced the virtual abandonment

sion OF the army estimates members
of the opposition attacked the gov
eminent for muddling the Somili

work for Italy. Lord ~Cranborre,
under foreign secretary, having de-
Tended the governments course,
Mr.. Broderick arose and declared
the Sonill operations we're inevi-
table because Of Great Britaln's
treaty engagements. He denied
that the government was pulling
chestnuts out of the fire for Italy
and explained that Captain PUNK
EFT had beer carried too far by his
eagerness to attack. "We shall dc
everything possible to break the
Mad Mullah's power" continued
MIR. Broderick, "but we shall not
send a LARGE force CT ner to pursue
him, as we have already dealt hin
a heavy blow by the SEIZURE of hi:

Roosevelt was speaking. The great
hall was crowded and persons in

those in front into the aisles ano
topping some owe on persons sit
ting. Others joined the rush and
some woman caught in the Jam
screamed, creating alarm in all
parts OF the building and starting a
stampede for the doors.
TIE police were unable to stop
the drive and several women who
were carried of their feet in the
rush tainted. These were passed
over the heads of people to side en-
frances and into the grounds. The
opening of the side doors caused
rushes in those directions and sew
eral persons who got wedged into a
corner were bruised and called for
help but none we're severely hurt.
