His power in the House was un- disputed from the first and the affection with which he was regard- ed steadily grew. He was gentle yet firm, and gradually developed a kind of oratory that moves men by its sincerity and earnestness even when it disdains the tricks of

rhetoric.

Sons Who Died For Britain, The House noticed that some- times his lips trembled when he spoke of the sacrifices of the men at the front, and it mourned with bim the death of his two gallant sons who fell in the war. They died, one in France, in the Royal Flying Coros, and the other in Palestine. His friends think that he has since never been quite the same man as he was before these two tragic bereavements. It may well be that in those days of 1917 and 1918 were laid the seeds of the

In March 1921 his health gave way and he was ordered by his doctors to cease political work, if only for a short time. He went to the south of France, and his health improved so quickly that he was back in England before the winter.

LONDON, October 3. Numerous messages of regret at the death of Mr. Bonar Law have been published.

Mr. Baldwin wrote saying that Mr. Law, sacrificed his life in his country's service.

Mr. Bruce says the Empire felt the utmost confidence in him. "We has seen no nobler courage than his and no galianter self-

sacrifice."

Mr. Mackenzie King writes that Mr. Bonar Law's unblem- ished career, unfailing courage, sound judgment and administra- tive capacity have been of incalcul able service to the Empire.
