Mr. Winslow told the committee that Mr. Brandeis was guilty of unprofes sional conduct and "conduct not be coming an honorable man" because, af ter severing his connection with fhe United Shoe Machinery Company, he, at the instance of new clients, attacked as ""illegal and criminal, the very acts and system of business which he as sisted to create and which he advised were' legal."

A general con ference of the allies in Paris to con sider all political and strategical as pects of the war is to be held. An nouncement to this effect wis made in the House of Commons today by Pre mier Asquith. Premier Asqtfith's statement was made in the course of an address in the House of Commons in connection with the opening of Parliament. The Premier said a large vote of credit would be asked for next week. The Premier stated that the situation of the British forces in Mesopotamia, which has been a source of concern to the English public, had improved ma terially and that General Townshend, whose army is surrounded by the Turks at Kut-el-Amara, was holding his own. The Premier thought there was ev ery sround for hoping the forces o. General Townshend and General Ayl- mer. commander of the relief expedi tion," might unite and that anything in the nature of a serious British check might be averted. He announced that the government was now taking stock of all its muni tions, men.- finances and industrial re serves, so as to be in a position to put forth its maximum strength. The forecast made several weeks ago of a daily expenditure for the -war of 5.000.000 had proved, the Premier said to be nearly .accurate, and there were no prospects that the amount would De reduced. Obligations incurred by the war, he added, would impose a serious strain on the country for A generation to come. This burden, he believes, could be met only by large additions to tax ation and by maintenance of England's credit by keeping up tbe volume of ex ports, holding down unnecessary im ports and reducing expenditares. v .
