EARLIER CABLES.
Do you consider that the present law is effective -No.
Would you any that there was some ground for the House considering a bill of this kind - think there is very obvious ground. I think it is very desirable in the interests of morality that something should be done. I am ation of divorce proceedings, but with regard to the wilful and unscrupulous publication of indecent matter for the purpose of gain.
Replying to Sir H. Yield, Sir H. Duke #nid the reporters who attended the Divon Court were there to perform their duty. He had never known a indecency, and he had known reports for a very long time. very singular injusties if it were sup posed that reporters in the courts were prone to publish indecency.

Here are a few extracts from M. Paleo- ogue's interesting book. One extract from bía diary reuda ; ——
The lack of ammunition menus that the role of the artillery in battle is necessarily insignificant. The whole bur den of the fighting falls on the iñiantry, and the result is a ghastly expenditure of human life. A day or two ago one of the Grand Duke Sergius's collabora- tors, Colonel Englehardt, said to Major: Wehrlin, my second military attaché: "We're paying for the crimes of our administration with the blood of our then."
About the same date, talking about the leplorate state of things, the Grand Duke Sergias, who was Inspector-General of Artillery, said to the French Ambas sador, "When I think that, this exhibi- tion of impotence is all that our ariste crntic system has to show, it makes me want to be a Republican."
When a Grand Duke talked like that early, in 1075, what must a peasant sol dier have thought by the spring of 1917. after many more millions of his comrades had been slaughtered as a result of the same exhibition of impotence.!"
