London, Jane 7.
In the House of Ommons, Mr. Stanton asked why hundrede of thousands of young, strong and willing coloured members of the Empire, who were ready to go the front to fight for Britain, were not being used.

Contingents of these people were already rendering useful service in several spheres of the war, in the capacity for which they were beal suited. and arrangements were in band both for reinforcing the existing contingents and for forming new ones.

FRANCE AND THE WAR.
The General Policy Clearly Stated,
Paria" June 7, In the Senate, M. Regismenset introduced an interpella tion inviting M. Ribot to define the general policy of France. He said that the Senate was unanimously indignant when sover Frenchmen proposed to go to Stockholm to confer with the Germans. It wished to share the Government's rasponsibilities, being unable to admit that Frenchmen would show the least eign of halting when the country was still invaded.
M. Ribot replying said that the German Socialista from the first were conscious accomplices in the crimes against humanity and even now approved of the atrocities by their culpable silence. It was morally impossible for Frenchmen in the middle of the war when- France was still invaded to confer with such enemies. There is no single Frenchman cowardly enough to accept the idea that we are not to con- tinue the war until we have regained what is our blood. But what is meant by no indemnities? If it were a question of humbling the conquered we would have nothing to do with it, but no French Government could renounce réparation for the damages and atrocities after the unprecedented devasta- tions of our territory. It is not an arbitrary act but an ast of justice which is our aim. I am convinced that we shall find these.
These ideas are reflected in the note which President Wilson is about to address to Petrograd. We are thus in complete agreement with the conscience of the civilised world. That is an immense force whose full value we ought to know and appreciate Let us jealously guard the moral forces £ghting for us
The resolution adopted by the Chamber added that: We must demand guarantees to safeguard our children from the return of such horrors. Shall we find them in territorial acquisitions or temporary occupations of tenitory or in nea- ⚫tralization of territory. All these questions will be sider-
ed when the time comes.
