\SOBNE IN THE COMMONS,
VEHEMENT DENUNCIATION OF THE GOVERNMENT.
MR. DEVLIN SUSPENDED.
LONDON, August 6, e The scene during the Committee stage of the Restoration of Order in Ireland Bill lasted some time, Mr. Devlin speaking nominally on a point of order, but his speech realy being a vehement denunciation of the Gover ment, the Bill, and the procedure adopted. He declined to take any notice of the Chairman and at one point both were on their feet together while loud cries of "Order” and Opposition counter-cries made it impossible to hear their remarks. Finally in a lull, the Chairman ordered Mr. Devlin to withdraw. He declined to do so and the Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms approached him and formally requested him to leave. Mr. Devlin still remained obdurate, whereupon the Chairman "named” hir and: sent for the Speaker, after which Mr. Shortt, the Home Secretary, moved his suspersion.
DURATION OF THE BILL'
Prior to this scene, the House of Commoss rejected by 216 votes to 68 an amendment limiting the operation of the Bill to a year after the termination of the war or after the passing of the Act. Sir. Hamar Green wood said that it was impossible to limit the duration of the Bill until order had been restored in Ireland, but he hoped it would be possible to repeal it before the period suggested." He emphasised that the Bill was only applied to parts of Ireland in which the Irish executive was of the opinion that special tribunals were necessary. He most sincerely desired to carry on without the application of this drastic measure except where it was essential.
Replying to a suggestion that a Bill for an indefinite pèriod would cause misapprehension in the Dominions and the United States, Sir Hamer Greenwood expressed the opinion that the Dominions and the United States I had such an intimate knowledge of the Irish situation that the Bill would
in nowise perturb them,
The House of Commons, passed the third reading of the Bill by 206 votes to 18.
LABOUR'S WARNING.
ARE WE DRIFTING INTO ANOTHER WAR?
„EMPHATIC” DECLARATION.
LONDON, August 6.
A strongly worded manifesto signed by "eight Labour members of Parliament and eight prominent Trade Union leaders has been issued warn ing British public against the possibility of drifting into another war, accus ing Poland of self-aggrandisement, and declaring emphatically that British Labour will not co-operate in the war as Allies of Poland."
BUEN TES LOT!
AMERICAN WOODEN MERCHANT SHIPS ROTTING.
£50,000,000 INVOLVED.
NEW YORK, August 6.
It transpires that the Government's much advertised fleet of wooden merchant ships built during war at a cost of £50,000,000, lies rotting in various harbours. American shippers advocate duming the lot to save the cost of maintenance as they are totally unable to compete with steel vessels.
MESOPOTAMIA.
ATTACK ON THE COLUMN AT HILLA.
LONDON, August 5
In the House of Commons Mr. Winston Churchill said that the columd attacked by Arabs at Hilla had been sent out to prevent the spread of disaffection northward. It was attacked while returning. The losses, in addition to casualties, included one field gun, seven ammunition waggons, twelve Lewis guns, and eighty-nine transport carts. It ought not to be assumed that all the missing had been killed as possibly many casualties were beat casualties. Replying to Col. J. C. Wedgwood who asked whether the column was ambushed, Mr. Churchill said it appeared to have been a vigorously pressed home attack on the rearguard of a retiring force.
