 HULL ELECTION

London. Sunday. April 1S-(via MontreaD In commenting upon the result of the Hull by-eiecuon last week in which the coalition, or gov ernment, candidate was defeated, the Daily Express remarks:
 We have faith in David Lloyd heads of the governments, but no be- lief whatever in the abilities of sev- eral of their colleagues or in the poi icies these gentlemen are forcing on an unwilling people. The country is crying out against the men who want to carry the spirit and methods of the war administration into an era of peace'
 The Daily News finds ;n the result a definite pronouncement against conscr!ption.
 The Manchester Guardian declares "the electors think they have been fooled and don't like fl. There was Q great deal of hunnbug and pure sa,naEoEY at the general election and unhappily our versatile prime min ister was in more ways than one re- sponsible for these things. Ger many, which was to pay all. will pay something If we are lucky and the German state holds together, but no: q tithe of what the electors were en- eouraged to think she wouH be made Co pay"
