They ceased, however, in response to sharp cries of order. The ceremony of the Lords was carried out in the time-honoured fashion.

Jack Jones was heard muttering throughout the proceedings and subsequently tried vainly to raise a point of order in the Commons. He alleged that the House had insulted him. He vouchsafed "no explanation but it is understood that he was aggrieved because there was only a handful of Peers present during the ceremony.

Though the Lords were always talking about con- stitution, Jones protested there were a hundred Commoners being received in the House of Lords by only "Five marionettes from the Italian Opera, whereas it was the duty of the Lords to receive the Commons in decent numbers: Jones' reference | maximum height of the flood has now reached was to five Commissioners in red ermine cloaks and Rouen where the quays are flooded.

FRANCE'S APPROVAL

MR. RAMSAY MACDONALD'S VIEWS.

PARIS; January 9.

Mr. Ramsay Macdonald's expression of friend- ship for France has created a favourable impres- sion. The Temps says "We shall do full justice to Mr. Macdonald's expressed intentions and hope that he will do justice to those of France." The Journal Desdebath states that if Mr. Macdonald perseveres in the sentiments he has expressed, he will meet with the greatest of gratitude from France which is ready to discard mutual recriminations and build up a sound policy. La Liberte, the organ of the Extreme Right thinks that Mr. Macdonald's, idyllic language smacks of an 1848 savour. "The Illusion s of 1848 only benefited Bismarck of Prussia," the journal states "beware of omens."
