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

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-

today, said tllat it was the unquestion-
able duty of Germany to feed the Bel-
gians, Serblans and Poles, but as this
was neglected by them. the Allies had
undertaken steps not obligatory oil
their part.
The minister said that no doubt
the German militarists regard with
contempt the Alllcs' proceedings, but
the latter are not prepared even for
military considerations, to see the
Poles starved to death by the Ger-
mans.
“We hear that women alld children

An unusual occurrence ill the ‘his-
tory of the fox intlustry had iakcll
place at Roscbank Fur Farms, Ltd.
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.
lie Doctor looked at the three kit-
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.
