LONDON, Jan. 25.-After a brief
debate the House of Commons to-day p'as`sed` on the `second reading the bill amending the trading with the enemy act, empowering the Board of Trade to prohibit any person, firm or com- pany of hostile nationality or associa- gions from carrying on business in this gountry during the war,
The Solicitor-General, Sir George
Cave, explained that the purpose of Une bill. was to put an end to a. situa- tion which enabled German companies {o~_colltlnue business here during the war and to hoard their profits for their own benefit in the economic struggle which might be expected to follow the ,conclusion of_peaco. ._ " I have reason to believe that Brit- ish property in Germany is being

mittee, and not only that but u politi-
0 cal committee oi' the Conservative
party of Canada. manipulated by the Government. for tile benefit oi’ its own political friends. Hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars worth of shell con-
tracts, he alleged. had been handed out by the Shell Committee to mush- room companies organlzed by Con- servatives all over the country. Old established concerns which applied for contracts nt the same time had been refused. The Carleton member charged further that Conservative companies after obtaining contracts had turned them over to others on
commisslol. A case in point was that of the
York and Cornwall Co. of St John, which had turned u contract over to the Phoenix Foundries at ten per cent. commission. ‘ He alleged that prices had been paid for shell manufacture far greater than were necessary to cover the cost of installing new
machinery, she basis upon which the comparative y high initial cos; of shell production has been defended. For instance, some companies had taken first contracts for shells nt $1.75 for machining, where others were given $5.70 for the same work. Mr Cnrvell censured the new Imperial Munitions Board an well ns the former Shell Committee. as being under political control. ln connection with the pur- chase of hay he accused the Minister of Agriculture of placing a very large order with a'Conservativc firm in New Brunswick at $24 per ton, which the company had filled by buying old rotten hayalready condemned by Government inspectors, re-pressing it and having it passed by other Govern- ment inspectors. He alleged that the Minister had refused to take advan- tage of an offer for good hay at u lower figure or to insist upon an upset price to the producer. The Depart-
ment, he declared, had deliberately ‘allowed manlpulators of hay contracts in New Brunswick to take $45,000 out of the Imperial Treasury or out of the pockets of New Brunswick farmers. He demanded a Parliamentary inves- -tigation, expressing his lack of confi- dence in the Davidson commission. Finally he intimated tbnt if the inves- tigutlon asked for was not forthcom- ing it would be difficult to get Liberals to enlist in the Canadian overseas forces. The Governments reply to these accusations will he given lo- morrow and on Thursday. when the Minister of Militia and the Minister of Agriculture will speak respectively.
The only other speech today was
that of Mr. S. F. Glass of East Middle- sex who reminded the House of Mr. Carvel1‘s past utterances on military preparedness, and of the efficiency of the Canadian Militia. Mr. Glass dc- fended the work of the Canadian shell- manufacturers pointing out that the shells had been produced in Canada at prices lower than were paid in the United States. He took the Carvell charge regarding Mushroom companies informing the House that companies thus described had delivered the goods ordered, after making heavy invest-
- ments in machnery.

(Special to the Guardian.)
PARIS, Jan. 25.-A French oiiicinl
report says German and French artil- lery branches last night continued to manifest activity in the region of Nieu- port. An attack by tho enemy deliver- ed yesterday near the mouth oi' the Ysor River was checked by the fire of our guns. Tho Germans were un- able to come out except. ai.,n. single point, whore several groups were suc- cessful in penetrating into our first line of trenches. Theywere, however, immediately driven out after a very spirited fight, in which hand grenades were used. These caused the Germans perceptible losses. In Artols the enemy again moved against our posi- tions, but this resulted in complete failure. At one or two points where our trenches were shattered by shell tire and mine explosions they were successful in occupying certain crat- ers, but were almost immediately
driven out.
