PARLIAMENT TO
LOSE OLDTIMERS
AT Least a Dozen Men to Retire
at Next General Election
in Britain.

London Feb. T. Tho next general cleo
ton viii see the retirement from Parlia-
mcnt o. at least a dozen men OF the "old
guard who have spent the best part Of
the last quarter Of q century there and
who have not taken kindly to the new
order Of things at Westminster. The
most notable retirement Of course. is
that o. Joseph Chamberlain but as he
was known only by name to the ma iority
Of the present House Of Commons he
Will not be missed as much as will some
Of the other oldtimers who have remained
in more active service.
With Chamberlain retires Jesse Col
linss. member for the Bordcsley Division
/ OF Birmingham, probably the most de-
vout disciple the great prota gonist of
! tariff reform had. Only on enc occasion
during his thirty-three years in the House
Of Commons did Mr.. Ceilings really at
tain fame. and that was when he moved
an. amendment 10 Che address I'm reply 10
the speech from the throne calling atten-
ton to tho condition of the farm labor
crs. and the carrying Of which caused
the resignation of The first Salisbury gov
eminent. From that day Mr.. Ceilings
made the condition of the farm laborer
his one care, and although he was not
the real inventor of the phrase, Three
acres and COW he became tine sole
patentee and proprietor thereof. His old
cry that The farm labOrer should have
enough land "snd COW" TO exc out his
miserable wage has now become the set
tied policy Of both political parties.
Mr.. Collins was Of humble origin. and
it was the hard experience of his early
life that filed him with enthusiasm for
the farm laborers' cause. outside Of this
he was satisfied TO act and vote as Mr..
Chamberlain should decide. He followed
him on the Home Rule and fiscal ques-
lions. and. i'm fact il is doubtful whether
he could say. as did Austen Chamberlain.
that once he had voted against Joseph
Chamberlain.
II is reported. too. that John Burns.
the silent member" Of the British Cabi-
net is not anxious to remain in public
life. Henry Chaplin too. is not expected
10 seek reelection.

TO HANDICAP CANADIANS
British War Office Wants Them
to Use Obsolete Rifles.

Ottawa, Feb. There is lively fight
on between the British War Office and the
Canadian Militia Department Colonei
Hughes. Minister of Militia, says the
british army is armed with an Obsolete
rife fitted with an open sight While the
Canadian militia carries a most modern
weapon. fitted with an aperture sisht.
The shooting skill of the British Empire
is tested each year at Bisley where
picked marksmen from Great Britain
South Africa. Australia, New Zealand ana
Canada compete. and for several years
mast Canadians armed with their service
rifles have been taking the chief prizes at
Bisley.
This year. Al the instance 90 the war
once. Bisley officials have ruled the
aperture sights cannot &c used in BisleF
matches. Colonel Hughes said this meant
that Canadian marksmcn would have to
shoot the British arm or stay out of the
meet as there was no open sight on the
Canadian rifles.
Let me say plainly TO the British war
Office" said Colonel Hughes, that no
Canadian marksman will have 10 bow to
its autocratic ruling. II we are Obliged
to abandon our Canadian rifle or use the
obsolete British weapon at the decree of
The War Office we will retire from the
contest The embargo will have to be
lifted from the aperture sight or no Cana
dian team will go 10 BisIey"
The rifles used in the United states
army are equipped with an aperture sight.

TAXATION HITS RULES"
Famous London Theatrical
Tavern Is Declining.

London. Jan. 3l.-"Rule's." the famous
theatrical tavern i'm Maiden Lane. IS not
TO close its doors. but Captain Walter
O'Brien. who has been I'm charge there
for twenty years. has given up his own
ership not only because OF the declining
business. but because Of the high taxa
ton.
In one way or another" he said. we
pay now I'm rent rates, license duty and
so forth. $3.50 more than We paid in 1871.
That makes a difference.
Then this part of London has changed
it's character. The Strand isn't the street
II was. II used 10 be the theatrical cen
ire: now that has moved westward. And
the popular taste has changed.
1T seems to me- that people no longer
want the old-fashioned comfort and the
good cooking OF the old-fashioned tav-
ern. They go now TO the popular mod
ern cafes: they don't care what they eat.
all they like is Gilt mirrors and marbles
and the playing Of German band. The
museum Of old prints that Nc have here
is no attraction for the younger genera
ton.

TANGO PROFESSORS RALLY

Paris. FEB. 7.-Defenders of the tango
arc planning rally in Paris to return tine
fire of adjectives with which they have
been denounced. The occasion will be the
annual meeting of the International Acal-
envy Of Dancing Masters, which has been
called for April ~ and -, and the return

inVenting new dance based on the tango
movement. ITO which no exception could
possibly be taken" and to call 1t the
True Tango
The pastoral letter of Cardinal Basilo
Pomili. vicar general of Rome. has been
taken in many quarters as an out-and-out
papal ban. and the emphatic way in which
Cardinal Annette. the Archbishop of Paris.
has characterized the new dance as q
sin, has left little room for compromise
along the line OF any of the "wriggly
dances" The result Of the stand taken
by the Church has been viewed so seri-
ousiy by the dancing masters as unwar-
ranted interference that test suits for
damage against the clergy are pending.
and. if successful. they will doubtless be
followed by many such cases.
The stand which the academy is taking
in defence OF the present craze will be
amusing TO those of good memory who
recall that three years ago this same or

on all imported dances by characterizing
them as "epileptic evolutions hostile 10

FATHER THAMES TRICKY
Tide Turns Contrary to Seized

London. Jan. 3l.-Old Father Thames
now and then does some very peculiar
tricks. and the other day he had the
bargees very much exercised when one
Of his tides took the wrong turning. All
the almanacs gave 9:l9 a. m. rs the time
Of high water at London Bridge. but at
$40 the tide began 10 run down, being al
that time four feet below high water
mark. Barges laden with oil and coal
could no. get up the river and began 10
pile up one on the other The blockase
was very heavy near the Temple Pier,
where Port of London officials shook
their heads and apologized TO the bargees
for this prank on the part Of the Thames
while in turn the bareees swore rapidly.
In addition to the absence Of the tide,
the bargees had TO contend with strong
head wind from the southwest, and most
of them went into the shelter Of the
wharves until they could obtain the as
sistance Of tugs.

OF New York. She is asking the English
courts to declare valid ard subsistlng her
marriage to Duke Henry BOrwin Of
Mecklenburg-S chwerin, which was per
formed al the Dover registry office on
June 10, 1911.
The countess says her inst husband died
in 1898 and left her very wealthy. wan
large estates in America France. SAXON
and Italy. She met the DUE m Lasiand
early in 1911. when lac was Iwenty-siN
years old and involved in the bankruptcy
courts of Germany lie asked TO marry
her She at first refused, but consented
on account OF his persistency. They were
married at Dover with all proper for
malities, witnesses, etc.
The countess says his relatives objected
as soon as they learned OF the marriage
and that special tribunal at Rostock
declared II void. chiefly on the ground
that the duke had not obtained the con-
sent OF his trustee in bankruptcy The
countess now asks the English courts to
uphold the Dover ceremony and her rlght
to the title OF Duchess Of MecklenDurg-
Schwerin.
