A Russian. force of 15,000 infantry sent to France to be armed and equipped took a vote as to whether they should take part in the battle of April 16, and decided by a majority to do so. They were used by the French in a ruthless manner, and nearly 6.000 were killed and wound ed. The survivors went into open revolt.

Prolonged artillery fire was employed against them to quell the revolt, and having been reduced to submission they were disbanded. |

Bill like this will he take the advice of some" of us who know?" Mr. Churchill, as surprised as the remainder of the House, could only reply "I was not prepared to receive such p confes ston."

Apparently he was under the impression that Lady Astor, who is an ardent temperance ad- vocate as well as an enthusiastic social reformar in other directions, would have looked upon betting as a thing to be left severely alone.
