To Prosecute Col. Repington.

It was in highly charged atmosphere
that the house met. First came the
sensational announcement that Col
RepinGton, military correspondent OF
the Morning Post, was TO be prosecuted
in connection with disclosures concern
ing the Versailles conference. Col Rep
ington has been a stout champion of
Field Marshal Haig and Gen. Robertson
against alleged ministerial endeavors
to diseredit or shelye these officers. An
article by Col. Repington early III the
war revealed shortage of high explo-
sives and indirectly aided in remedying
that shortage. Should his trial be held
in public il should prove of intense in
terest. but it is believed it Will be held
in secret.
Verbal shafts were directed at Pre-
mier Lloyd George again from various
quarters of the house. Herbert Sam
uel. former secretary for home affairs.
voiced the opinion of the governments
shortcomings prevailing IN a discon-
tented section OF the house of COM
mons. He suggested that the war cabi-
net was war-weary and should be
aided by special councils dealing both
with war and home affairs.

I have noticed that the blowing has
commenced in several sections
throughout the valley.
The people In the valley are doing
good work along patriotic lines and
they are prepared to do all they can to
aid the boys at the front. The children
in the schools are also aiding with the
Junior Red Cross.
Il have no sympathy for the persons
who criticize the government at this

undertaking and even if there are some
mistakes made one must realize that
it is impossible to perfect such a
gigantic machine as we are building

resolution approving the principal Of
the League OF Nations and the con-

should be enforceable by adequate

Lord Lansdowne said that two es-

that it must he open to all and COM
prise all the important powers. while
the second was that it should be armed
with executive powers sufficient to
secure unqucstiona BILE obedience to it's

Pressure Needed.
Lord Lansdowne said he believed
that IL the league was able to apply
pressure in different shapes II could
guarantee peace in the civilized world
or at least secure a delay for discus
sion and Cancellation which would. in
many cases. effectually avoid the
threatened dangers. He believed the
omens were entirely favorable TO the
formation of such league. one OF the
most hopeful ones being the interest
taken in II in the United States with
out whose adhesion the consumation OF
the idea would be beyond reach.
Considering Americas great world
trade, he said, there was no countr,
which could use the economic weapon
$. effectually
