THE LIQUOR QUESTION.

LONDON, May e.-The cabinet to-
day discussed at some length various
proposed notifications of the Lloyd
George liquor bill. The bill in its
original form is admittedly dead. The
opposition of the Irish members killed
IL. Their contention that Ireland had
no part in the making Of munitions
and that she also was not beneftinS
from any prosperity that certain in
dustries were receiving, was an argu-
nent that the government could not
answer.
II, is believed that a compronise
bill which will give the government
power TO close establishments that are
dangerous to workers, will be finally
framed and that the proposed high tax
will be abandoned.

put into their own life boat and turn
ed adrift to be picked up by HartIe-
pool trawler.
