Of the empire returning from series
of diplomatic triumphs.
Throughout his half hour ride from
Paddington station to Buckingham
Palace the prince was proclaimel -
jubilant multitudes. who showered
upon him salutations of affection and
loyalty. Although he had been the
recipient of endless stirring ovations
on previous occasions. the prince was
profoundly affected by London's ring
ing welcome, his pride and gratitude
showing through tears of JOY.
His reception by Londons millions
was exceeded in depth and emotion
only by the ardent family greeting
when he stepped from the train. The
king grasped him by both hands. and
the queen embraced him with motherly
affection. Princess Mary, who was
married during his absence, discarding
stilted royal Cecorum, threw both
arm around him and Rugged him.
Dowager Queen Alexandria and other
relatives then embraced him. The
princes greeting to Niscount Las
ceres. whom he met for the first time,
consisted of a formal handshake, with
M effort a conversation.
Observing tic prime minister among
the group of cabinet members. gen
erals and amhG ssadors, the prince adj
yancod rapidly and greeted him Ell
fusiyely. Mr. Lloyd George returned
the salutation with vigorous congrat-
ulations at thu success of the prince
tour.

with the members of the cabinet and

| full strains of the popular melody re-
| sounding throughout the great glass

| then entered an open carriage with
| the king and his two brothers.
| The formal official welcomes being
! ended. il was now the turn for the
peoples welcome. which came few
minutes later when Wales. seated at
the left of his father and opposite tho
Duke of York and Prince Henry
emerged from the station. Rounds OF
cheers went Up from the thousands

place.
Deputy Sheriff Robinson corrobor-
ated the sheriffs regarding the condi-
tions at the Pond house.
The case was continued for week
by Judge Cony.
Liquor Nuisance Case
sThe third and last case was that Of
Arthur K. Thompson, who was charg-
ed with maintaining a liquor nuisance.
Sheriff Harwood and Deputies Har-
wood and Robinson told of going to
his house after they had searched the
other houses. They said that they
found no liquor there except a few
drops in a bottle which was in the
pocket of a coat which belonged to
one of the veterans from the Home
who was working for Thompson. They
did, however, smell liquor about the
place.
Mrs Gipson testified that her hor 9
was about a quarter of mile from
that of Thompson and that she had
seen evidence of drinking about the
Thompson home. She also said that
larger part Of this year.

that she had lived there for six years
and that Thompson had lived there for
about a year. She said that her hus-
band had been drunk the other day
and that he h locked '.er out of the
house and thae- she had come to com
plain of him &c the court. AS re-
suit of this complaint warrants were
sworn out against the other two men
also.
Tcstifying in his own behalf, Mr..
Thompson saii that he had never had,
made. sold or given away any liquor
since he had owned the house. He had
given up his work on the kennebec
Central railroad to fix over his house
and to work about the premises. This
was last spring and there is still about
a months work to be done. He said
before going to work for the kennebec

British Govt. Loses

The motion for postponement
was made by Lord lslIngton, and it

There was a brief debate in which
Lord Balfour in the first speech he
had delivered in the house of lords,
defended the mandate as a iustiti-
able experiment. Are we never to
have adventure or a new expert

Lord Islington pressed his motion
to division and, to the general sur
prise of the members, it was carried.
The government whips had not OK

absence from the chamber of many

TREATY GROUP HAS |;
So SEATS IN new
Dali EIREANN

Dublin. June 21-(By A. P.)-Ten
seats for the new Dali Eireann re-
main to be filled, two in Kildare and
Wicklow. and eight in Cork. These
are not likely to be announced until
tomorrow. The figures for the us
seats already announced are:
Pro treaty, 80; anti treaty. So:
labor. 10: Independent. s: farmers,
.. Trinity college members A.
1t is thought that Waterford and
Tipperary returned Cathal Brugha
(CGarles Burgess), former minister
of defense, on the third count. The
constituency has shown itself to be
Overwhelmingly pro treaty and the
two rejected candidates are the most
significant in the whole election. Sea-
mus Robinson. active dissentient
army leader, was early eliminated.
But more remarkable was tie de-
feat of Daniel Breen, who was fight
ing against the British in 1920 and
1871. and no man was more eagerly
sought by military police. He
reached America and after peace ne
sotiations began wrote from Chicago
an uncompromising republican letter
which was published in the press. On
his return to Ireland he was identi-
fled with the dissentient section OF
the army but on the atte mpt at uni
fication he joined with Michael Col
Inns and Richard Mulcahy in an en-
deavor to effect it.
When the Collins -DeEalera pact
arranged for joint panel, each side
picking its own nominees, Breen's
was the only name on both lists. His
defeat therefor was due to the aver
age clector refusing to be influenced
even by the joint recommendation
of Michael Collins and canon De-
Valera.
The republicans are generally sur
prised and disappointed over the re-
suit but assert that these were due
to the defective register.
Labor has its own objections to
the constitution and the republicans
will claim the support of labor in the
debate on grounds based on the cleo
i, ton manifesto /of the laborites.
/ There are, however. sufficient treaty
| supporters to defeat any possible
combination against the constitu-
ton.
| The elections have caused a dis
; tinct change in the future prospects
| of the Irish government. After the
Collins DeNalera pact it was as
sumed. however numerous the sue
cesses Of the independent candidates.
nothing could prevent the joint Sim
Fcincrs from having a majority well
over so in excess of the new coners>
and the coalition counted on the Ger
] tain support of any policy on which
! the leaders agreed.
A majority for the Joint Sim Fem
| is not in doubt. If they agreed they
would outnumber all the others by
nearly 40, but the prospects OF an
agreement are disappearing. and the
division of the Dali now seems more
likely to follow the essential division
between those who support al l
those who oppose the treaty. On
| both sides there is pessimism IS to
the possibility of forming any coa-
| lition.
