act acalnst Colonel Keplnalon. the mill
lory correspondent of the MornlnC Tost,
for an article which appeared In the

The article complained of was aub
mttted to the censor, who refused his
parmlsslon to pu lish It. The article
afterward waa published In a different
form without being submitted to the
censor.

An amendment proposed by Richard
Moll, radical, expresslnc regret that
""in accordance with the decisions of
the supreme war council at Versailles.
proaecution of tha military effort Is to
be the only Immediate task of the gov
ernment." waa rejected in tha House
of Commons by a vote of 1J to St. The
minority was composed mainly of
pacifists.
Lord Much Cecil had declared that
the adoption of the amendment would
Involve toe resignation of the govern
men l.
Mr. Bonar Law. replying to criticisms
of the government with respect to It
home policy, said that In I 1 7 the n
tloaal aarvlce department had pot Into
tha army tz.ni additional men and
placed In employment at homo 7J1.00
men and Sol.vvo women.
Keferrlng to the food production, ha

land la 1IT amounted to S.oe tons,
and la addition, tha country had pro
duced an extra J.OiXoe tona of po
tatoes.

Fee land, aald the Chancellor, waa the
nly country In tha war where there
had not been a diminution In food pro
duction. A million additional acres
were being put under the plow. This
year ). acres mora had been culti
vated In Knaland and . more in
Scotland and Ireland.
The total slocks of wheat In Great
Britain at the end of December. ll.

am l.lUl.t tona of shipping and lie,
tona were obtained from abroad.
The Chancellor explained that the Pre
mier's estimate of ship construction was
not realised because the government
bad arranged to have a large quantity
of tonnage built la 'America, but when
America came Into tbe war she pre-
lerredL as the I rttlnh would have pre'
ferred. to take tha tonnage herself. Hut
the toanaga was there.

said that. In spue of tbe diminution
In shtpa and In spite of the fact that
tUeal Itritaln had lent l.a4.v gross
ton for the use or her allies. In Sep
tember. October and November, the na
lioa bad actually Imported the same
amount as had been Imported from
trurv to April.
It had been suageeted. aald the Chan
cellor, that becauaa America bad en
tered the war lireat Britain ought to
have to spend less. America had given
great help, not only to Great Britain's
allies, but to ttrltata herself, for which
iirttatn could not be too grateful.
ilut the pressure on tbe aliie. owing
to the long continuance of the war. had
made the burden very great, and he
was glad to say that this country bad
been able to give no less assistance to
torn of her allies because of tha as
sistance of America.

GUILT DECLARED . PROVED
Many of the absolute necessities of 1 lf are scarce In Russia, and since
there Is very Utile system by tha government In the distribution of the
food. It la on the dealers that the problem falls of dividing up the short sup
pllea among the people. Thla photo shows a long line of women and chil
dren waiting to buy milk In Petrograd. Most of them carry pitchers, but
the supply Is so limited that they get very little. This line of people eager
to buy necessities can bo found at alio oat all the stores.

system of the government, pointing out
that the war cabinet Idea had been
adopted by all the belllgerenta.
Oaaeeltlea la Challenged.
He repeated Premier Lloyd George's
challenge that If the House of Com
mons did not have confidence In the
government It ought to get a govern
ment which would carry on the work
better than the present government.
Hut until the house did this It was the
duty of the members to avoid any crit
icism which would only be damaging.
I have no more Interest in this
Prime Minister than I had In the last.1
declared lionar Law. "and I wiah to
see fair play for both. But I would
ratner see at the bead of the govern
ment a man who makes mistakes of
being over-aangulne and over-buoyant
than a man who suffers from pessimism.'
Criticisms of the government han
dling of home affairs waa voiced by
Herbert FamueL tha former Home Sec
retary.
Krgardlng man power, he aald Great

sition aa ahe did In tecember. 191
With respect to food, the government
had a somewhat belter record, but h
asserted the Increased production of
food waa only 4 per cent net. of which
1 per cent related to Ireland.
The situation as to food control, ha
declared, waa very far from satisfac
tory.
Similarly the production of Ironstone,
on which the steel supplies depended.
had Increased In tha first four weeks
of this year by only Sl.voa tons, which
would be equivalent to a million tona
for the year. Inetead of v.OOrt.uoO aa

Beer Oatpat .et Kedaced.
Another complaint was the produc
Hon of beer. Tha actual production had
been lS.SOO.etM barrels, whereas th
Premier had said It would be reduced
to ie.0OO.aea barrels.
The last subject on which he wished
to criticise the- policy of the govern
ment waa finance. During the past 14
months there had been an Increase in
the daily national expenditure of
OOO.vuo. or an Increase of 40 percent.
Mr. Samuel said It u clear that
the present system of the government
was not working to the best ad van
taae. They had six weary men ex
hausted with labor endeavoring 'every
day to catch up with ever accumulat
Ing arrears of work. After 14 months
It could not be said that the war cab

He suggested a small council, con
sisting of the heads of the depart
ments concerned with the conduct of
tbe war: a home council, consisting of
the heaJs of the departments concerned
with home administration.
He gave the fullest support to the
war alms aa stated by the Premier to
the labor conference and it was be
cause he cared Intensely about winning
the war that he had spoken today.
Balfoar Peee I am la t le aa Peace.
Arthur J. Halfour supported the
Prime Minister and contended that
even rresident iison. so far as be
aware, did not profesa to find
definite formulated propositions In
Count Cxrrnln speech.
It waa a misunderstanding, he said.
to aume that the Versailles council
had to deal with diplomatic and po
litical Issues; its real business waa
military.
"Tha government's view." addcM tha
Secretary, "la that the attitude of the
central powers showa that for tbe
moment diplomacy la entirely out of
court.
"It waa the central powers who
banged the door, and by the mouth of
the Chancellor and tne Kaiser proved
that they are as far removed aa three
years ago from accepting the ideals to
which President Wilson has given
classical expression
Ihirlng and after the debate In tha
House the lobbieo teemed with rumors.
The sensational talk centered mainly
around the possibility of military res Ik

lobbies eventually were emptied with

FIGHT TO FINISH DECLARED
Premier Orlando Optimistic in Ad
dress to Parliament Encourag
ing Success Reported in
Matter of Financing.
nunt, r-eo. 13. Enthusiastic ap
plause and cheers for America met the
declaration of Premier Orlando at the
opening of the Parliament today that
the war situation was growing better,
due to help from the United States re
placing f:u.isla.
Premier Orlando reviewed tbe Ver
sailles conference and pointed out that,
so far aa Italy waa concerned, the con
tinuation or the war was no longer
matter ot choice, but neeeitHity.
Also, he said, this fact is understood
by all patriotic Italluns, who are now
willing to wage war to the bitter end.
Regarding Italy's alms, the Premier
ssld that they were unltnperiullMic.
All she wants. Premier Orlando
declared, "and do less, and she can wish
for no more than the security of her
tlonal boundarlea by land and sea
and also the fulfillment of her national
unity.
It la materially seen how Italv's
citizens view the wsr question by the
fact tnat the unfinished national loan

Fall. Italians are determined to fight

Acceptance of German Money From
Von Bernstorff Alone Held to
Be Sufficient to Bring
a
About Conviction.
PARIS. Feb. 1J. Captain Mornet. the
prosecutor in the court-martial of Bolo
Pasha on the charge Of treason, today
began the summing ud of the govern
ment's case.
He pointed out that the mere fac'
that Bolo Pasha received money from
Count von Bernstorff. the ex-German
Ambassador at 'W'ashington. through
Adolph Pavenstedt, the former head of
the Amsinck banking house, of New
York; was sufficient grounds for asking
for adcath sentence, even though the
money was not used" against France.
Consequently. Captain Mornet said, he
would ask for the death penalty.
The government counsel then re
ferred to Bolo Pasha's relations with
Ferr.and Monier. ex-president of the
Paris Court of Appeals, and 'ex-Premier
Joseph Caillaux. The prosecutor de
clared the Bolo Pasha case was pre
liminary to other trials.
Public laterest Intense.
The crowd which packed the court
room to hear Prosecutor Mornet sum
up the state's case against Bolo Pasha
broke all previous records at the trial.
The proceedings were reopened be
latedly with the people massed to suf
focation. The spectators were perched
on chairs, desks and radiators or seated
on the floor.
Famous Parisian actresses shared the
benches with society leaders.
The crowd at the outset, however,
was doomed to disappointment, for the
prosecutor. Instead of summing up.
read a letter from Premier Clemenceau
announcing that two documents sent in
August and September. 1917, by Prose
cutor Mornet to Minister of War Pain
leve referred to in the proceedings yes
terday would be placed at the disposal
of the defense.
This was considered to be a point for
the defense, as the state had bitterly
opposed the publication of the papers.
Bouchardoa Thanks, U. 8.
A second disappointment for the
spectators came when Captain Bou
chardon was called as an additional
witness. '
It was Bouchardon who prepared the
case against Bolo and his appearance
was roughly equivalent under the
American law to the calling of a pre
liminary trial judge against the defend
ant in a higher court.
Captain Bouchardon related the de
lay which had been placed in bis way
In preparing the Bolo Pasha case by
the former Minister of War, which, he
said, had withheld the documents from
April to September. 1917.
Captain Bouchardon expressed thanks
for the co-operation given him by the
Government of the United States.
