Significant is the advancement in England by the House of Lords of a bill extending the grounds for di- Vorce to cover three years deser- ton, habitual drunkenness and cases where a sentence of death has been commuted to life Imprisonment It is said further that. when the bill reaches the House of Commons it's passage is almost certain.

H0LCOMB STUBBORN
 WON'T CALL SESSION
Browns at Request Of His Own
 Party

New Haven. March 25.-Governor Holcomb last night refused to call the special session of the legislature re- quested by the republican state con- vention to consider the federal suf- fraSe amendment. The convention.S resolution does not help in creating the emergency without which we will not act. he asserted. If the legisIature. should adopt the amendment "witho,H the concurring vote of the electors of the state, 1t would be contrary to thu, provisions of our constitution" he adds.
 The message cast a gloom ovei. suffrage forces here last night, stf- though it will by no means make them abandon their fight which ap peared so full of promise yesterdav afternoon. The old guard faction in the republican party, which onIy gave in. to the suffrage people at the hnal moment, is suspected by suffrage supporters as resul: of the govern- or's action. The leaders maintain that it is the influence of this group with Governor Holcomb that prevents the prayed-for session.
 The Governors Message.
 Governor Holcomb's statement foF- lows: T have read the resolution passed by the republican state conven- tlon l do not see how that changes tue situation or assists to create th,. special emergency which authorizes the governor to call special session.
 The state constitution places the responsibility upon the governor. T shall not shift it to the delegates to the republican state convention. II shall decline to call a special session.
 The adoption by 36 states of the O . I change our constitution, but until it is changed my oath of office requires me to support it in it's unalterel form. ..l
 If Connecticut should be one Of the 36 states to adopt the suffrage amend ment by the vote of the general as- sembIy and thereby change our con- stitution, wit bout the concurring vote of the electors of the state it would be contrary to the provisions of our constitution" s@

All ruminatin' thoughts O war an trade ah' politics; all whimsical complaints an sich, all grievances an kicks. was brushed aside by yester- day, an comin' in their stead was joy for offspring O. the earth to SprinStime sunshine wed.

SIGNS OF SPRING.
(By Bish K. Ibble)

(By Bish K. Ibble) When the festive hurdy-gurdy makes it's rounds through city streets. And the pavement's marked witt chalk lines where the children play and shout When the sun shines for a mome ent. then it rains or snows or sleets. And the coal bins nearly empty, and the 'taters start to sprout -
 I guess it's Spring. When the good old Book Beer poster CGee, excuse mel forgoD, When the sauerkraut in the cellar makes you think there's some thing dead When the sounds from beating car pets come from nearby yard and lot,
 And the hardy little crocus blooms with blossoms white and red
 I'll say it's Spring. When the smudge from backyard bon fires fills your eyes and nose and throat,
 And the cop around the corner fingers where the sun is warm
 When your neighbor starts again to tinker with his homemade boat
 And the sparrows chirp and chatter and the bees begin to swarm
 It must be Spring. When the profiteering landlord com es around and jacks the rent, And relates d fearful story how his taxes jumped again; And then he blandly tells you that he cannot spend a cent > For repairing, eos his pocketbook could never stand the strain----
 I. know it's Spring.

 Forgery of bank notes on a large scale at Plume has resulted in an ac- ccntuation of the distress caused by the paralysis of commerce there. The populace. however. is determined not to submit to the Jugo-Slavs.
 At a meeting of officers and prom incnt citizens held last night dis patches say. Captain q Annunzio re- affirmed his determination not to abandon the city until it was either 'racially independent or a heap of ruins.'
