NO REPARATION

second half of his speech deals with what he describes as few more proposals for peace. in. their present form, these are in many respects vague and obscure.
They contain no suggestion of re- parations for the wrongs done by Ger- many to other peoples. Nevertheless, as stated in Parliament, they will be subjected to a careful examination in conjunction with the governments of the Dominions and of France.

After a young girl's story of a late blows in the mouth, the Birkenhead night incident in which she received court sent a Regular Army corporal named Leslie Arthur Grant, of the East Yorkshire Regiment, for trial at. the Quarter Sessions.
He is charged with assaulting Miss- Violet Elaine Rowlands.

The girl described what happened. after she got on to a bus, following a visit to a cinema, one night at 10.55.. Grant sat behind her, then sat beside her, she said, and when eventually he: asked if he were annoying her she- did not answer.
When she alighted at Irby village: Grant followed until she stopped to. talk to friends. He entered a fish shop, and she went to a barn to get her cycle, and she put on a blue mackin- tosh to disguise herself.

But as she emerged Grant spoke and later, twisted her arm behind the back. Further down the road, she fell in a struggle, after being hit on the head,. and she was terrified by the man's threats.
She got away twice after being hit in the mouth, said the girl, and then reached home where, two days later. Grant called and apologised, saying he had had drink which must have gone- to his head.

In evidence Grant (on whose behalf. it was urged that he was not used to taking large quantities of beer, and "that this was a sudden drunken int- pulse") derled that he hit Miss Row- lands.
Among others the following citations will be read from the Bible: "Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. Then when came, he found that he had lain in the Jesus grave four days already. Then they took away the stone from the place roadside and he remembered kissing

And he that was dead came forth; bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin, Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go,” (John 11: 1, 17, 41, 43, 44).
The following citations will also be read from the Christian Selenco Text- book, "Science and Health with key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy
"A demonstration of the Acts of Soul in Jesus' way resolves the dark visions, of material sense info harmony and immortality. Jesus restored La- zarus by the understanding, that Laza-. rus had never died, not by an admis- sion. that his body had died and then lived again. Had Jesus believed that Lazarus had lived or died-in his body, the Master would have stood on the same pläne of belief as those who bur- led the body, and he could not have resuscitated it." (Pages 428, 75).“
