entire system thus formed started upon
journey toward a pert of our great
visible universe which may be our
ultimate destination.
Wherein this relates to the subject
matter Life and Death" is that the
force which accomplished this birth OF
our solar system" had the power, ana
actually did develop life upon this little
pill the earth, and gave to us, posses
sors of the human mind, the greates'
gift in its power, intellect"
What matters it if those near ana
dear to us lie buried beyond the sea
or deep within the locker of Davy
Jones himself, we all journey, those who
are gone and those who will follow, with
this little member of our solar system,
we are ever carried toward an unknown
destination. In my opinion an ideal
awakening of 'the dead would be mt
a time when this present evolution OF
life has served it's purpose on this
earth and all who have lived anu
passed away are brought into con-
scious state at one period of time, so
that no matter where your dear one
lies buried the earth will at such a
time be indeed small it is indeed one
integral body
In conclusion I want to state that
my personal opinion is that those who
have died are in a total unconscious
state and will remain so until the ar
rival OF our solar system within the
zone Of its final destination of the living,
| believe that the scope of the human
mind is without limit; use it unspar-
ingly. ID. ROBERT Russell.

Commons Is Told
DEPL0RES RUSSIAN CHAOS

London, Dec. 90. The House of
Commons was prorogued today until
February 10. The session was formally
closed by King Georges speech of pro-
rogation. Referring to India, the king
said that a measure marking the first
stage Of the development of a respon-
sibe government in India has become a
law.
II rely on all my subjects" he said,
s'to work together for its success. In
proclamation which | am addressing
to my viceroy and to the princes and
the people of India. | am expressing my
hope that n harmonious political life
will steadily be built on the founda-
tions thus laid. and | am announcing
my intention of sending the Prince OF
Wales to India to inaugurate the new
constitution.
~ regret that there is no improve
ment in the unhappy conditions pre-
vailing in Russia and no immediate
prospect in that country of the estab b
lishment of the constitutional govern
ment which alone can conduce to ITS
permanent prosperity.
'sAIy relations with my allies and as
sociates in the great war remain OF the
most friendly character, and | have every
expectation that the close and intimate
cooperation which led to the final vic
tory will be long continued to the bene-
fit Of all.
s'In August last my government con-
cIuded with the Persian Government an
agreement tending to cement the ties or
friendship between the two countries
which have so many interests in com e,
mon, and to promote the welfare ana
progress of Persia.
The king referred to the visit OF the
Prince of Wales TO Canada and New
foupdland, which. he said, 'hlled my

To the members of the House ol
Commons the king gave his thanks tor
their provision during the year for the
nnhlic expenditure, which has contln =
iied abnormal, largely exceeding the
permanent and temporary revenue, and
he trusted that next year, with the
return of more normal conditions, he
said that the first steps would be taken
toward the reduction of the national
debt.
s"The condition of our finances and
the state of our credit continue - oc-
cupy the serious attention of my min =

nounced today that when Congress re-
convened be would introduce resolu-
tion calling on the Navy Department
for report on changes made by Secre-
tary Daniels in the recommendations for
awarding naval decorations.
THE resolution will ask for the
changes made by the secretary and the
reasons for this arbitrary action" said
Representative Jufkin. 81 had hoped
that this whole agitation was the 'c-
suit of disappointment Of one or two

more far reaching.

it is necessary to decline to receive the
Distinguished Service Medal himself

the award I believe the time has. COME

wife passed away about five years ago.

all Of the recommendation OF the com I
manding officers The secretary did not
approve oil the recommendations OF the
board. He added names Of officers and
enlisted men who had performed con
spicuous service. The only way that
fair minded men can judge the wisdom
of the awards so far announced will be
to compare the lists.
Differences Of Opinion"
After every war there are, of course,
differences of opinion as to the award
Of distinctions. ] remember the criti :
cisms that were voiced in the Spanish
American War. After the landing nj
Vera Cruz many medals were awarded
so many, in fact, that the statement
was often made that no distinction was
made between distinguished and ordi
nary service. At that time / approved
without change the recommendations
submitted TO me.
1T became my duty, at the close OF
this war, imposed by act Of Congress
TO approve the awarding Of medals and
distinctions. and I resolved that action
should be governed by fixed principles
and all in certain classes should be
recognized alike.
"I was also resolved that the most
distinguished honors should be awarded
those who were in most peril and who
suffered most and rendered the most
distinguished service. The awards sc
far announced followed this sound pol
icy. The final and complete list has
rot been approved, for some recon
mendations were long delayed"

Belief that the bill offers the only
possible way out of the Irish tange is
expressed by the Liberal Chronicle,
which says on the whole the measure
appears generous. The plan will be-
opposed nearly everywhere in Ireland
largely because none of the contend %
ing factions is really willing to be fair

says. The government. the British
people and the British Parliament must
discount these oppositions in advance. 4"
The Daily Mail declares it to be q

The Telegraph describes the bill as
"a proposal which will commend itself
to freedom loving minds everywhere as
