ed in The Times here to-day, quotes the
general as saying that he gave Gustav
Baucl, the American citizen, his liberty

GREAT BRITAIN INVESTIGATING

London, Feb. 24-The British parlia-
ment and press have been stirred by the
recent killing of William S. Benton, a
British subject, by order of the Mexican
constitutionalist general, Francisco Viii
la, at Juarez, and yesterday the ques-
tion of protection for British interests
and for Englishmen residing in Mexico
was made the subject of earnest .consid-
GRAFTON both in the House of Commons
and the columns of the newspapers.
Sir Edward Grey, secretary of state
for foreign affairs, outlined the attitude
of the British government and the
nature of the communications which the
British ambassador at Washington had
had with the government of the United
States. He said that Sir Cecil Spring
Rice had told Secretary of State Bryan
that the public opinion of Europe was
likely to be seriously affected by the ae-
tion of General Villa, which announce
ment was greeted by the members with
a cheer.
The foreign secretary assured the
House that the government was taking
all possible steps to learn the facts of
the Benton case, and to secure full pro-
lection for its nationals in Mexico, but
pointed out that the government was
powerless to take any measures in the
disturbed regions.

gathered to greet little George and Mar
tina Washington. who We're portrayed BY

As the Blues were victors in the three

sisted of vocal solo by Agnes Rule. a
tribute to the pictures of Washington
and Lincoln by Leon Page, solos by
George Washington, reading by DR.. New
ell, solos by Annie Robertson and piano
duet by Beth Skinner and Bertha Hook
er.
After the program those present paid
their respects to George and Martha,
who were assisted in receiving by sew
eral of the Sunday school teachers. The
younger members of the gathering played
games in the primary room, while the
older ones chatted and played games in
the vestTy. Excellent refreshments were
served by the Reds at $50. after which
the Jolly gathering broke up.
A pleasing feature OF the social was
the contribution of old rubbers, which
were weighed up by Neil Hooker, and
the awarding of the prize for the heav-
lest weight went to Herbert Anderson.
Over 30 pounds OF old rubber were
brought in by the contestants.
