TONNAGE -QUESTION OF GREAT IMPORTANCE, Ultimata Success of Allied Cause De,. pends on Solving Tonnage Problem. London, Saturday, Feb. 24,—The Parliamentary correspondent of the Times writes: On Friday the Premier came down to the House of Commons to warn the nation that if it was not "prepared to accept drastic measures in dealing with the submarine peril there was disaster in front of it, "National grit," he declared, "is going to be test- ed by the answer that will be given to the statement I snake today on behalf of the Government. The speech to which these senti- ments were the prelude was indeed momentous. Walter Runciman, head of the Board of Trade in the Asquith Government, described it as one of the gravest which had been made by any representative of the Government since the war began. Key of the Speech. The key of the Prime Minister's speech was to be found in the first fete sentences. "The ultimate success of the Allies' cause," he declared, "de- pends in my judgment on our solving the tonnage difficulties." This problem had to be dealt with ruthlessly and promptly. The measures which Lloyd ,) r4> G� e submitted fell under three heads: First—Drastic new reslrietions on imports which were not essential for the prosecution of the war. Second—Pr+iduction at hone to be 1-.1a and comprehensive programme of State assistance. Th!rcil —There were to be restric- tion,: at house. includinir the further rutile: doff❑ of the manufacture of drinks. 111.: Prime Minister was fully justi tical in :a:'inting that the measures the (, neir1:1 441a t.:1s pnspc,sirg, would n14an ...13111nr. !.-Titles+ on the part of Cc'in1m'2tntt':, `II' 12 d Car,oil's; speech e: rli •r in tar: . . , h.., .4 a:a .'r it:.'41. nica ore . 1.: ,t Ge' ata- +'!iucd it h-. :. ._ �471V 11 .1147 'lltl:!ra- 1:'•1,1-. and 1,:!d. 2 4C it .,. t remenlbm• t!i,^.t the 1',.`:!l1,-!io1 114 /hi, :u11.1fnt ., 1011tta.e 47 1147` iter. 147111: i1 port''. 44 , :'t ! is ▪ :'.1 .'11:1 47`:,,1"!:. lout ,:;14 most a..'!1. . •lc ..,:11•:tte1d1 1. the 1a 1,. ,-t.l, r:: •:I of our ships had been allveated he Home pn't,'1t:i!'a was the Prime Minist`t4' next theme.

Mr. Knight, of Hensel], wren his appeal yesterday be- fore the Court of Appeal in connection with the convictiofl registered against hits for trespass in July last. The case was heard yesterday and the appeal al- lowed with costs, Justice Lennox, Rose and Fergusson concurred. The action at .Osgoode Hall yester- day is the sequel to a case that has been 1a matter of deep interest in the St. Marys district for months, A St. Marys police magistrate issued 012 July 29, 19121, a warrant to search the Royal Edward Hotel on information laid by Mr, Powell. Rev, Mr, Knight agreed to assist the chief of pollee in the search and later was proceeded against by the proprietor of the hotel, Mr. McLaren, who took the position that Mr. Knight was 1101 all ollicer of the law and wets guilty of trespass. Knight was fined tar and it was against this conviction that the minister appealed. Appeals Dismissed Two other appeals arising out of On- tario Temperance Act prosecutions were dismissed with cost's, Jacob Web- ber, of Seaforth, appealed from Isis con- viction, questioning the jurisdiction of the magistrate, and claiming that no realevidence in support of the charge had been given. Mr. Justice Middleton refushed to quash the conviction and also held that the Lick 11f evidence did not interfere with the question of the magistrate's jurisdiction. The appeal of Cantill 14,14 dismissed, wI111 costs. j3irths \4-rrener.— In (14714:11, on Tuesday, '+; th, to Mr. and Mrs. N. P. W.lr- F'%eshytery Met at fles:safl re!ldr. a da:lghier, HURON C. w. C.

CHANGES P POS �N Difference of Opinion in Ontario Legislature as to Their Value— The Issues involved ''that at first was thought to he merely a temporary arrangement ill the Dei:nrtllu'nt of Agriculture, follow- ing the death of the Hon. Jas. Duff, is now going to remain permanent, if the Government follows its own bill now before the legislature and does . not listen to the objscttons of the • Opposition. The permanent re -organization pro- vides for a Minister of Agriculture with the Primo Minister, Sir William Hearst, as Miutster; two Deputy Ministers instead of the one at pre- sent; a Commissioner of Agriculture, Dr, Oreelnian, Principal of the 0.A.1., dluelph, and an assistant to the Com- missioner. The Opposition claims that this is a most complicated and inefficient sys- m. They say 1:hat there should be .simply a Minister of Agriculture, not the Prime Minister, already overbur- dened with ditties; not a lawyer, as he is, hint the most outstanding agri- ottlturist who could be secured, and with him a Deputy Mtnister also 'of outstanding rank such as the tato Dr, C. 0. James, for example. The Opposition say that the pro- posed arrangement amounts simply to this, that the Prime Minister In his i oaving Towu. spare moments will give some atten- tion to the department; that Dr. Creel- Mr. P. 0. Kerr, who has been cutter man who remains In luoiplt as Plein' with Mr. Brown, expects to leave tows, cipal of the school, will give hie spare time to the Department of Agriculture and that this t art-timo arfangoment ie utterly inadequate. As for the two Deputy Ministers, the Opposition says that tbe trouble lies in the feet that the present Dupla? Minister Is not a' farmer at all nor has he any first-hand knowledge of farming.
