crisis over the CONSUMPTION measure,
which will be introduced in parlia-

be exempted in the provisions of the
measure, and there Is some fear OF
the results when attempts are made
to enforce the bill.
The split in the cabinet appears to
have healed somewhat, although it is
asserted that Sir John Simon, formerly
attorney-geheral in the old Liberal
cabinet, who has held subordinate
post since the coalition cabinet was
formed, will resign as soon as the
measure is presented to the house OF
commons.
Statements to this effect were print

the ship reports having seen the wake

The Persia sank in five minutes. &C

above water such short time shows
, that there was little opportunity Of
