LONDON. Milli 19--With the returll
oi' Premier Asqufth to London, the question oi' the immediate rate or the irish ‘government will take the centre of the stage for the Britisll public. It is expected that Mr. Asquitb will inl- mediately arrange aseries of confer- ences _with the Irish leaders including Sir Edward Carson and John Redmond The attitude of Sir Edward undollbt- edly w'ill be e. vital factor in the situ- ation; and there is more than a hint that David Llyod George, the lnullit- ions minister, will take a lending part in an effort to bring all the Irish par- ties into line.
Arrange for Conference oi
irish leaders. Sir Edward Carson
lt is already known that Premier
Asqulth hopes to bring Ulster into any arrangement which he made to install moderate measure of Home Rule ill lreland.'I‘here will be no attempt on the part of ally section of the interest- ed paries, to inugurate Home Rule such as was provided for in the Home Itule Bill. The solution of the situation most generally favored, is the form- ation of an lrisll cabinet, with strictly circunlscribed powers. which will be gradually extended. The new order of things is expected to go into effect as soon ns details can be arranged.

LONDON, May 19.-Twenty thou-
sand Turkish troops have been with- drawn from the British front east of Kut-El-Amara, presumably to meet the Russian advance on Bagdad, according to despatches received 'here today.
The 'l‘urlt_s~-are"rscr\fiting`all native

Proiongation of the Tigris floods
has made it possible for the Turks to weaken their lines around Kut-El- Amare. without fear of an immediate British advance.
In diplomatic circles hero it is belie-
ved tllnt the Russians after massing formidable forces are striking swiftly against thc Turks, acting on the theory that the war will come to an end with- in a few months.
With Turkish territory more than
twice as large as ull European Turkey in their possession, it is pointed out here, the Slavs will be in a position to bargain for the return of Russian territory held by the Astro-Germans during peace negotiations, if tho battle lilies oil the ltlgli-Bukowina t'ront re- main unchanged.

IIIIIS IIS FLIGHT
OTTAWA, May 17--The Kyte char-
ges broke down nt still another impor- tant point tndav when the whole his- tory of the draft agreement for partic- ipation by Allison Lignanti and others in B. l<‘. Yoakunls commission from the American Ammunition Company, was given to the Mcridith-Duff Commission by Mr. Yoakim, The agreement, which formed so important a feature of the Kyte speech, was never executed for the good and sufficient reason that Yoakim had refused to have anything to do with it, having no interest in Lignsntis affairs. The big financier stated emphatically that any rrrange- ment which included Ligllnnti was sim- ply all arrangement between the lat- ter nnd Col. Allison. As to the famous "arrangement" he treated it with ilum- orous contempt remarking that it had never been signed, that he had not bo- thered to read it, and that it had been simply filed in his office, where it re- mained forgotten untill the Kyte char- ges were made. The “agreement” was read to the commission and proved to be a peculiar and lligllly complicated instrument. In the course of Mr. Yoak ums evidence it developed that the or- iginal arrangement between Col. All- ison and Ligllunti was made prior to January 1913 or a year and a half before the war slid related to business to be transacted with foreign governments. ln the same way it developed that thc verbal understanding between Yoakum and Allison as to commissions, origin- ated with regard to foreign business and that Allison was not informed of the commission on the Canadian fuse contract in which he would share un- ill after the contract had been closed between the American Ammunition Co. and the Shell Committee. Mr. Yoakam again proved exceedingly interesting witness. He evidently intended to tell everything he knewln connection wit the matters under investigation sncfghtlr. Helinluth for the Soverilmelii- was lunss latent upon _lirlnslns out all the facts. The result was at times occasionally illumlnstive and _ nt all times interesting, the American finan- cier throwing sldeligilts upon big bus- iness methods which kept eve1‘Yli°dY on the qiii vivo.

Dr. Leo Frank, felt somewhat wor-
ried over a valuable fox fn tho rnllch of his company on account of her queer antics at the time that she was about to deliver her pups. After n consultation with the keeper and ranch-manager, Mr. W. B. Purdie, it was decided to Ihave a relay of watch- ers ill order to ascertain when silo would have her young and immediate- ly take the young away from 'her.
Yesterday morning Dr. Frank wus
called on the phone and was informei_l_ that she had already delivered her pups and was shut in her den, and wanted further advice before pro- ceeding any further. ' Messrs. Purdfe and Frank immedi- fately went over to the ranc'h,opened the don--and there found four beautiful
pups which were tslzen immediately - out 'and placed in th care of two foster mothers in the shape of two common twenty-cent tabby cats. this sum having been paid by Dr. Frank to is couple Ifor the trouble of bring-
ing them over.

tens that were taken sway from the cats and their pitiful cries so ap- pealed to hiin that as an experiment and for future reference in order to ascertain how far one could tamper with the fox species -he brought over the three kittens-placed them with the mother fox and without any trouble she took to them and seems to hs s splendid mother to her strange kittens.
