Nikolai Lenine, the Ilolshevikl Premier. was the chief speaker be- fore the committee and was greeted with tumultuous cheering. He said: "A conflict between the Workmen's and Soldiers' Government and the Constituent Assembly bas been grow- ing since the Russian revolution. The February revolution was a political bourgeois revolution, in which the Coestitutional Democrats scored suc- cess, overthrowing Czarism. In Oe- tober • social revolution occurred and the working masses, through the Workmen's and Soldiers' Delegates, became the sovereign authority. "By creating the Workmen's and Soldiers' Delegates the Russian pro- letariat brought something new into the revolution. There is 130 equal in the history of revolution in West- ern Europe except the Paris Com- mune. The Workmen's and Soldiers' Delegates are not bound by any rules or tradltiotfs to the 01d bour- geois society. Their goser•nment has taken all the power and rights into its own hands. The Constituent As- sembly le the highest expression of the political ideals of bourgeois so- ciety, which are no longer necessary in a Socialist state. The Constituent Assembly will be dissolved. It has not met to -day. and has, in fact, ceased to exist." The Bolshevlkl have not yet an- nounced any plans for a legislative body to replace the Constituent As- sembly. The All -Russian Congress of So- viets is expected to meet to -morrow. but the meeting may be postponed to enable more delegates to attend. This body is looked to as one which will neither declare itself a sovereign body or designate the means for creating one. §xxxxXXXtcxxxxs€xxxxscxxacX)91 uU 1 1 Nevi l IF YOUR Men's Wool Underwear Made from Nova Scotia yarn, elastic -knit, KIDNEYS ACT BADLY all sizes, a regular $1.50 garment, for 'x $1.09 1.09 Take tablespoonful of Salta if Back hurts or Bladder bothers—Drink Men's Mackinaw Socks I 11.1.. ,011 3. to .11:1 69c Boys' Overalls St toprd and hint, testlt lnh, vs, 69c Boys' Sweater Coats $1.25 M. ROBINS OPEN EVENINGS XXX CARSON LEAVES CABINET. Baps Out Owing to Differewee,, era Irish Question. LONDON. Jan. 22.—Sir Edward Carson, Minister without portfolio In the War Cabinet, has resigned. This announcement was made om- clally Monday night. The Rinse Minister has advi,ed the King to accept Sir Edward Car- son's resignation. The correspondence published shows that Sir Edward's resignation was on the Irish question and had nothing to do with the conduct of the war. Sir Edward In a letter to the Pre- mier says that when be joined the Cabinet he had no consideration in mind except the prosecution of the war, and had not anticipated that the Irish question would be re- opened duriLtg tbe war, "Subsequently," the letter con- tinues, "when the convention was proposed I used my Influence to In- duce friends to participate In an effort to reach a settlement, but on account of the dual position I held as member of the Government and leader of the Ulster party I felt 1t incumbent on me to stand aloof from the convention. 1t, however, Is ap- parent that whatever the Issue of the convention, its proceedings may lead to a situation demanding a deristow by the Government on grave matters of policy in Ireland. t-• "After anxious consideration, I feel that it would be advantageous for the War Cabinet to discuss this policy without my presence. "I Mso desire to be`entirely un- fettered in forming judgment on any situation that may arise, tak- ing account both of the supreme duty that rests on us all in assisting the prosecution or the war, and my per- sonal obligations as leader of the Ulster Unionist party." We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with urio acid, says a well-known 'authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. 9'he kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork: they get sluggish: the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blond to poison the entire system. When your kidnevs ache and\feel lik1 lumps of lead, and you have dtincin, pains in the back or the urine is etetudv, full of sediment, or the bladder is Irri- tsble, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe head- aches, nervous and dizzy spells. ateeplees- nese, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of ,Tad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a gleam of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act Ane. This famous wilts is made from the add of grapes and lemon juice, combined, with labia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidnerys, to neutralize the arida in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation. thus ending urinary and bladder dlenrders. .fad Salta is inexpensive and cannot Injure; makes a delightful effervescent liths• water drink, and nntnIly can maks a mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kidneys cleat and active.

Dr. Franz Mehring, Inde- pendent Socialist, made the follow- ing enquiry: "If Canada, with loss than nine million inhabitants, has been able to throw a quarter of a million soldiers into Europe, who were not able to Sy or swim, what grounds has the Finance Minister for denying to the United States, with 110,000,000 in- habitants, any military capacity:"' Dr. Mehring proceeded to reprove the Prussian Finance Minister, ,Dr. Hertz, for such criticisms, which, be declared. was likely to bring heavy penalties in Its train, especially i' coupled with empty threats.

There are numerous eases at Kivef-Huachung, where the author- ities are doing nothing. There have been many deaths at Tatung -FI. but these have not been determined as plague cases, owing to lack of support of the Plague Commissioners by the central Gov- ernment. The measures taken local- ly are inadequate and the Commis- sioners are telegraphing to the Gov- ernment urging it to assist in tak log energetic steps to combat the epidemic. The missionary medical men are making error's to keep the plague outside the Guest Wall and to close the entrances of upper Shan -Si.
