SIR EDWARD.

Hats off to Sir Edward Carson!
He's the real Irishman. He feels
sorry, evidently, that it isn't prac-
ticable to have two frst-class fights
at the same time; but he finds conso-
lation in the fact that as soon as
cne is disposed of the other can be
taken On. Thus there will be enter
tainmeIt without cessation.
In substance, Sir Edwards coiln-
sci to his Ulsternen is that 1--WE
must all turn in and help lick these
Germans, in order to get clear field
and no interference for our own civil
war. Well put that On as soon as
this difficulty is out of the wayl"
That ought to cheer the German
government, which expected that
Great Britain would be paralyzed by
its domestic difficulties!

pie homeless and driven by tens of

Of Britain and Holland-in short, a
nation torn from it's soil, its every
thing ruined or wrested from that
such is the picture we must form of
Belgium as it will be before the war
wave shall again have swept over it.
Yet Belgium was no offender. She
was merely buffer state that the
jealous powers had set up and guar
anteed, primarily because they want
cd a shock-absorber between their
cwn frontiers. Britain, France, Ger
many, all bound themselves to re-
gard the little state as neutral, and
to maintain that neutrality. They
aid It partly for Belgium's sake, but
yet more for their own sakes-to
keep themselves from one another's
throats in time of national and inter-
national passion. How pitiful the
guarantees which men, sober and
sane, may give for their conduct
when they shall become drunk and
insane!
All because the very giving of
those guarantees is au admission of
their addiction to the excesses of
power-drunkenness and military
madness. Until there shall be a new
view, in which such barbarism shall
have no part or recognition, no
country, great or small, will be Sc

while Germany's 4,5OO,OOO tons have

MUNICIPAL COURT.
Lora Martin Gets Jail Sentence on Sc
rious Charse-AppeaIs.

I1ora Martin who is the wife of
Henry Bellavance, was before the mu-
nicipal court Saturday forenoon to an
swer to a warrant sworn out against
her by Mrs Mary Bolduc and charg-
ing her with wanton and lascivious be-
havior F. G. Harrington appeared for
the complainant and Ex-Judge B. F.
Maher for the respondent.
The case was called for 9 o'clock
but was much delayed by the non-ap-
pearance of two witnesses, boys about
16 years of age, who had been sum
moned. Officer Fred Dauteuil was
sent after them, whereupon they fled
up over Main Top, but the officer was
too swift for them and after brisk
chase captured both and landed them
in court.
When arraigned before the court the
Martin woman entered plea of not
guilty. The principal feature brought
out during the hearing was that late
Sunday afternoon, Nov. % of last year,
Joseph Bolduc, husband of the COM
plainant, was seen by six witnesses up
on the Eight Rod road in company
with the Martin woman. When first
seen Bolduc was standing beside his
team which was stopped on the road.
The witnesses called to him, where
upon he got into the team and drove
off, but the witnesses saw both him
and the Martin woman in the team.
Testimony was also introduced which
told of another appointment by Bolduc
and the respondent, Tuesday, Jan. 6.
1t was brought out by the counsel
for the defence in the cross examina-
ton of Bellavance that shortly after
he and his wife had separated, about
two years ago, he caught her in room
with a man in one of the local hotels
under suspicious circumstances.
No testimony was offered by the
responded and after brief arguments
by the counsel the court found the
respondent guilty and imposed a SEN
tence of 80 days in jail. from which
an appeal was taken and bonds fur
nished in the sum of $3.50 for appear
ance at the April term of the superior
court.
Other cases before the court includ-
ed one for intoxication in which the
respondent was allowed to go upon
the payment of SO and costs, and one
for vagrancy in which the respondent.
William King of Providence, was Civ
en- 80 days in jail.
