Spiritism (By P. J. S.)
In last Saturday's -Mirror," in the foreword of the article dealing with Mr. J. L. Rinn's rebuttal of Conan Doyle's revelations from assertions anent another world and apparitions, the scribe emphasises the desirability of more evidence of life after death. He says. "One REAL bit of tangible evidence of the existence of life after death would be of overwhelming inter-
est to mankind. One clear UNDENI ABLE proof that we continue to exist in the world beyond the grave would instantly produce a profound. ::hange throughout the world. It would accomplish more in an instant than all

He is apparently the man of the hour. Scots sang "He's a jolly good fellow." "Europe is in rags," says the ex Prime Minister, and not even 'a magic carpet woven of words will carry the devastated areas to sunny, unburden. ed lands beyond. There is a worse hurricane coming from another quarter. He appealed to all "moot to endanger the glorious old ship by quarrells as to which officer shall be on the bridge." Viscount Birkenhead says that Bonar Law was fully adequate to cope with the burdens of a Prime Minister, but the men by whom he was surrounded It was useless to try to were not. deal with first-class problems by means of second-class brains. Boner Law's only justification, says Lloyd George. for shattering the Coalition was the removal of the Cabinet Secretariat from Whitehall Gardens to the Treasury Chambers, and the abolition of the Ministry of Pensions. It would have been far better, declares the ex -Prime Minister, if the followers of Mr. Bonar Law. had gone on with their minds active and their eyes open, instead of with folded arms and drowsy eyes. Mr. Winston Churchill, in a message to Dundee Liberals, marvels, when he thinks of the gravity of the hour and its measureless uncertainties, at the temerity and presumption which have caused to be squandered so many friendly forces, and which have stripped the State of so much serviceable experience. "I came," says Mr. Churchill, "into the Middle Eastern business effectively at the beginning of the year 1921, and I succeeded in reducing the expenditure in connection with it from about
In 145400,000 to about £11,000,000. addition," he further stated, "I made plans to reduce the expenditure to less
than £6.000,000 next year." Mr. Austin Chamberlain,' speaking to his constituents, claimed his duty to his country had been his chief end. As he had shared Mr. Lloyd George's responsibilities. he could not as a man of honour tell the ex -Prime Minister that his room was preferable to his company. He had co-operated with Mr. Bonor Law in the past, and he could
do so again. The chairman of the Unionist Party organisation (Sir George Younger. Bart.) denies that there is any pact between the National Liberals and the Unionists regarding the contests at the coming elections. Lloyd George candidates number only 155, four of them being women. The Coalition, says Mr. H. H. Asquith, had fallen into disrepute both at home and abroad. It was not either in Belgravia or in the Carlton Club, but in Downing Street that it met its fate. The Liberal policy. says Asquith, is plain enough. The Labour manifesto was clean cut and intelligible, but when they came to the disjointed fragments of the late Coalition things were quite different. They knew little about Mn George's policy beyond that he was Mr. now for the sternest economy. Dollar Law's policy, where it was not negative was gelatinous. Dr. Bayles (-Imperial Conservative), who is opposing Lady Astor (Coalition Unionist) for the Sutton Division of Plymouth, has issued a writ for libel against Viscount Astor. M. Franklin -Bouillon has declined to represent France at the Near East Conference. The Greek General Papoulas (former ly Commander -in-Chief of the Greek forces in Asia Minor), has made grave revelations regarding the Greek defeat, and hinted at treason. He attributed much of the responsibility for the defeat to ex-King Constantine. It is asserted that martial law in Italy was revoked on account of the King's refusal to sign the proclamation. Lord Hardinge, the British Ambassador to France, says a Paris cable message, is reported to be retiring into private life at the end of the year.

The Queen of the Fairies also comes with her attendants to direct the revels. After a chorus of greeting to the Queen the Fairies of each Season are called in turn to sing their songs; after which, all join in the song "Good Night." and return to Fairyland. Miss C.
