Another Come Back

(From Our Own Correspondent)

London, Dec. 15. There were "big gaps on the green benches when the House of Commons met. the majority of Conservative members being at the Queen's Hall meeting.

The two and a half benches of Socialists and the 'Liberals looked particularly forlorn without the overflow of Conserva- tive members around and behind

them.

There were fewer questions to Ministers than usual. But the de-

good humour by, the Socialists.

Of Capt. Margesson, replying on, behalf of the absent Secretary for the Colonies to a question by Mr. Rhys Davies about Palestine, the Sociatlist front bencher humorous- ly inquired whether the Colonial Secretary had gone to Palestine.

It cannot have happened to many men to be sunk twice in one' night. This happened to him in 1920, when he was accompanying the "Southern Syncopaters".to Dublin.

Their ship struck a floating mine. A certain number were saved. The rescuing vessel then encountered a fog, and was run down.

It took Mr. Lewis a year to re- cover.
