The resolution was received by the lords with a mixture b! applaiiBe and derision.

For the next ten days the Commons will devote Its time to pas sing bills for temporary borrowing war loans, and other routine mat ters. On March the House will take a brief holiday, to resume on March 29. The government is safe until the latter date when the truce agreed upon expires. After that Premier As- qulth will have to look out for him self. The budget it Is generally agreed, Is dead, and the cabinet may soon be dragged down with it.

Kurne BeverldgeV ' sculpture will also be exhibited at the Berlin show. Several of her works, which have already heen shown at LepBlc and Munich, have beep sold to German ad mirers at high prices and who have loaned them for the show. Her startling ; nude group, "The Vampire," has evoked a cyclone of criticism, pro and con. All observ ers are in agreement on one point, however, namely, and that It the ab lute limit in artiBtlc boldness. .' 1 Strike Orders Disobeyed -Philadelphia, March 14. A general order iBBued by the" Central Labor Union to milkmen, bakery wagon drtv ers, and others who deliver necessa ries to quit wa snot generally obeyed today, a majority remaining at work.
