That the officials will argue lack

LORDS RELUCTANT
TO PUNISH PRINCES
Bill to Deprive Enemy of Brit
ish Titles Passes Its Second
Reading.

LONDON. March 20.-The house
of Lords. today passed the second
reading Bf the bill to deprive enemy
princes of British titles and dignities
after the government had promised
to refer the bill to a special commit
tee for further consideration. This
promise was made as the outcome OF
the peers who desired to shelve the
bill on the ground it was absurd to
regard certain princes as traitors.
The Marquis of Lansdowne agreed
that the bill was only intended to ap-
ply TO the Duke of Albany, the Duke
of Cumberland and Prince Albert Of
Schleswig- -Holstein, all OF whom are
related to the British royal family
and who. he agreed, could not posi-
bly, be regarded as traitors. The
Marquis admitted the bili was a mere
concession of publicaopiuion.
The bill. said Earl Cu'rzOn. leader
i'm the house Of lords. was supported
by all parties in the house OF CONF
mons and its rejection would expose
the government to Misrepresentation
and probably provoke subtle out
cry which would interfere with the
conduct of the war.
