That Affair Between French

Cause No Alarm.

Paris, July 1S.-The big fve"--or

Though diplomatic relations between
France and Italy are strained as re-
suit of the unfortunate hghting in the
disputed city It, is generally. believed
the two countries who fought side by
side through the world war against
the common foe will not break now.
II is understood a note from italy to
France expressing regret for the kill

perpetrators Will be forthcoming soon
and that 1t will close the incident.

London. July 1.-THE government

half OF Sir Edward Carson, when the
house Of comm ons defeated a motion

and thorough debate of the Irish
question and at the prosecution OF the
Ulsterite leader for his Orange Day
speech In which he threatened to call
out the Ulster volunteers II home rule

Defeat OF the Clynes motion came
after the attorney-general. Sir Cor
don Hawitt, had made a statement to
the effect that no legal action was
possible against Carson because the
latter had not violated the law.
Andrew Bonar Law spokesman for
the government promised however.
that II evidence to the contrary were
shown, the government would act or
he would resign.
Law characterized the debate as
Improbable" and likely to create an
unpleasant impression.

empire was branded as the loyalty OF

Clynes demanded equality before

Lord Robert Cecil criticised the
speech as indefensible in the present
