The tea made on the Field Kitchen by the cook of the 105th was- plping hot. and was quickly served to the guests with an nhundunce of bread and butter, cake and other dain- ties.

The scene within the house of com- mons was one of the most notable in the history of that body, with the benchw packed with members, all the ministerial seats occupied, and the galleries overflowing. With the prospect of at keen duel between the prime minister and his former colleague, Sir John A. Simon. over the momentous issue which caused the late home socrctury's re slgnation, the biggest ussoxnlxlutzo of commoners since the outbreak ot' the war faced Mr. Asqnith when he in~ troduced his mtlfitary service bill.

Mr. Asquith began immediately the ll0l.lBe was Cotlvened, and spoke con- tinuously for :tn hour.
