The Bill gives to Ireland greater powers of self-government that are possessed by Any State in the American Union, and prepares the way to exactly that self- determination for which Cardinal Logue, as a most representative Irishman, has carnestly pleaded. It is the disunion of Ireland which is the root cause of all the present trouble there, and is now;

I venture to think that the most that will happen is that with Mr. Asquith inther papers are equally prodigal of their the House of Commons again there will be effective criticism of Government measures and policy, and the country will have "the other side" plainly and clearly put before it. This in itself is a distinct gain. The ex-Prime Minister is an old Parliamentary, hand in the same sense that the phrase was applied with perfect truth to Gladstone, and be knows every move in the game..

AWOKE TO FAME.

At a dinner given in his honour at the House of Commons on the evening of his return Mr. Asquith, replying to the toast of his health, remarked upon the changed attitude of the Press towards him, and said he was not conscious of any change in himself. But like Byron," be con- tinued, "who woke one morning to find bimself famous, be woke one morning to And himself popular."

The little personal touch is illuminating. Although Mr. Asquith is far and away the most polished speaker of the present day, he is not popular with the multitude. His style is perfect in form; every sentence is balanced, and the right word always comes with ease and smoothness Bus as a speaker be is cold and he leaves his audiences cold, too. In this respect he is & most remarkable contrast to Mr. Lloyd George, who is able to make even his bitterest enemies glow with pleasure as they listen to the fire of bis eloquence, while his friends and supporters are always carried away in a veritable rapture of enthusiasm. Perhaps the comparative failure of Mr. Asquith on the platform is due to the fact that he is an exceedingly sby man. He is also a proud man. is afraid to let himself go

REQUISITIONED GOOD.: RIGHT OF THE SUBJECT DENIED

BY REGULATION,

A judgment of considerable importance concerning goods requisitioned by the Ad- miralty for Naval stores was given in the King's Beach Division recently by Mr. Justice Balter, who declared that such fair market goods must be paid for at value as against the contention that the Admiralty wore only liable in respect of a third of that value.

Mr. Justice Balter said that in October. 1917, the Newcastle Breweries (Limited) were the owners of about 50 puncheons of rum, mostly in bonded warehouses. The Admiralty declared their intention to take possession of the whole of that rum, and in the following month they acquired 239 puncheons. The suppliants claimed the market value and urged that the amount of such "valne should be deter mined, unlcas agreed on, by a Court of Low as age Love

The Admiralty rejected both claims. They had paid to the suppliants without prejudice £10,774, which, according to the suppliante, was not much more than third of the market value. The Admiralty said no further sum was payable unless further payment should be apprised or determined by the War Loss Royal Com mission.

of the regulation which affected that right was ultra vires. It could not be held to be a regulation for public safety or the defence of the realm, or to ensure the suc cessful prosecution of the war. If it were intended in August, 1914, to authorise a regulation permitting officers of the Crown to take subjects goods without payment in fall, it was strange that Par- liament was occupied in March, 1918," in. making provision for, sasement on fair. market value in the ease. of emergency acquisition
