Lord Lansdowne Speaks.

There were only two speeches during
the two and half hours that 1 stood
In the little pen into which had been,
as a special favor. allowed to slip upon
presenting the ambassador1al card.
Those were by Lord Lansdowne and by
Lord Morley. Neither is a good speak
er," as we use the term Lansdowne had
Just recovered from an illness, but I
cannot imagine him in the role Of
'spellbinder." Yet he was powerful in
his quiet earnestness, his lucid statement
Of grave problem and the solution pro-
posed. through him. by the moderate con-
servatives standing between the liberals
and the old line tories. He spoke from
few notes and held his audience per-
fectly. He was not interrupted and pro-
ceeded with relentless logic to show his
party colleagues that they were confront
ed by the necessity Of choice between
elimination or Observation-Disclosures either
through the total extinction Of the cham
ber, as some radicals desire, or through
the passage OF the parliament bill by
the creation, If the lords decline to pass
1t, of 500 emergency or dummy peers
for the purpose Of making a majority.
There was very little cheering in the
course OF Lansdowne's speech, and that
was of more subdued style than even
the vociferation of the commons. He was
given distinct murmur OF applause when
he took his seat. and Immediately the
lord chancellor recognized Viscount Nor
ley, the most eminent of the modern Eng
lish historians. man Of undoubted ajbil-
ity. but decidedly no speaker. Compared
with Lansdownes quiet, finished diction,
Morley was halting, corrective and un-
even. He was trying. however. to recon-
cile the failure of the ministry to bring in
a lords reform bill of its own. and Its
insistence upon the parliament bill, by
which any measure. If passed by COM
mons at three successive sessions, with
two years elapsing between the first sec
ond reading and final passage. becomes
law regardless OF the inaction or rejection
of the lords. This was difficult role to
play, and when. after nearly an hour OF
this speech, my legs began to give way
under me, withdrew with even less re-
luctance than a week previously had
left the house Of commons.

TREATMENT OF DEsERTERS.
Gen. Wood Plans to Allow Courts
Martial More Discretion.

To reform the man. instead of admin
istering punishment with the sole pur-
pose Of preventing desertion, is the pur-
pose Of new regulations which the gen.
eral staff has prepared. At present q de-
serter from the army may be sentenced
to dishonorable discharge and imprison-
ment for three years. Gen. Wood. chief
of staff, believes that great elasticity In
punishment should be permitted. and that
the court-martial should be allowed discre-
ton to make a difference in the punish
ment to be meted out to a homesick
youngs.er and to a hardened offender.
Hereafter justice will be tempered with
mercy in passing upon such cases.
