House of Commons Passes Third
Reading of British Mill
tary Measure.
CRITICISM DEVELOPS
Government is Attacked for Wasteful
Expenditure and War Secretary
Says Central Powers May
Slide Into Anarchy.

London, April 2.-After strong criti-
cism of the government on the ground
of wasteful expenditure and violation
of election pledges to abolish conscrip-
ton, the house of commons passed the
third reading of the military bill by
vote of 2S2 to Ca
Winston Spencer Churchill, secre-
tary for war, made a vigorous reply
to these criticisms. He described the
broad band across Europe from the
White Sea to the Caspian as shoulder
ing or afiame through Bolshevik at
tack5 and declared that Germany and
Austria were likely to slide into hope
less anarchy or form a military alli-
ance with the Bolshevik.
Occupation Cost Heavy.
With respect to the cost of the army
of occupation, Mr.. Churchill said that
after deducting the estimated figure OF
about 70,000,000 pounds, to be demand
ed from Germany for the upkeep Of the
Rhine army, this left the cost of occu-
patton for this year at 33,000,000
pounds. The amount which was ex-
pected to be recovered by salvage was
calculated to pay two or three times
more than the cost of the armies OF
occupation during this year.
Replying to arguments that there
was no national necessity for the bill,
Mr.. Churchill declared that Bolsheyist
armies were attacking along the whole
front in Europe and the various little
states were in direct peril.
Could it be said, he asked, that Great
Britain had no interest in seeing the
world coming to peaceful settlement? ?
The moment the Allies divested them
selves Of their military forces they
should be powerless to exercise the
slightest influence on the course Of
events all over Europe.
Army in Italy.
The approximate distribution of
troops, the secretary said, would be as
follows: In Great Britain, 10000; in
France, 10000; on the Rhine, 264, 900.
In Italy and adjacent regions, Mr.
Churchill added, there would be 10000
men in order to adjust the lamentable
differences which had arisen between
Italy and the JugoSlavs, saying:
I'VE are keeping small forces OF
British troops there in many localities
where the troops of no other nation
would be welcome. We have been
asked to do this In conjunction with
our Allies, because it has been found
that these troops could prevent
troubles between the local populations
merely by their presence during the
period we are trying to settle things
This was, of course, continued the
secretary, done at the request and by
the desire of both parties.

Bristol, Pa, April 2.-When temr
porary scaffolding, extending around
the stern of boat on the ways at the
Merchant shipyard at Hartman, near

were killed or drowned in the Della
wart river. About 150 persons were
standing on it to view the launching of
the freighter Waukau.
Only three bodies had been recoy-
cred. Twenty-Five injured persons
were taken to the Hartman hospital
Some of the victims, practically all
of whom were men, managed to grasp
the scaffolding and were pulled to safe
ty. A sailor in the crowd of spectators
jumped overheard and pulled two
drowning men ashore. The bodies re-
covered were those of shipyard EN-
ployes who live in Bristol.
Thousands had assembled to see the
launching and witnesses of the acci-
dent say the scaffolding seemed to
turn over, precipitating it's occupants
into '25 feet Of water. The accident
happened four minutes before the
launching was scheduled to take place
1t will be impossible to check up the
list of victims for several days, as
the crowd included spectators as well
as shipyard employees.
An instant after the scaffolding fell.
the keypiece of the Waukan, at which
the workmen had been saving, parted,
and the big hull slid down the ways

of the victims down to the bottom of
the river
General Superintendent w. f. VII.
son of the Merchants Shipbuildins
corporation issued this statement:
The many workmen were not sup
posed to be on the wooden patrol walk
which collapsed. The walk is only
used for the guards on duty and the
workmen when they walk from one OF
the ways to the other. The walk was
overcrowded"
Four dead and 20 alive have beer
taken out up TO this time and the div
ers and men in boats are continuing
the work of searching for bodies.
