King George has gone to the firing line, according to, the correspondent of the Evening News at Calais. The king has displayed the greatest inter- est in the British troops and has al- ready visited the rear line of trenches. That he should go direct to the firing line, however, causes some uneasiness in England for his safety. his war policies.—Sunbeam Sun- beam, . —— The contest for speakership be- tween Gordon and Flowers grows in- teresting. Both are making posi- t’ive claims of victory. Gordon, how- ever, is backing up his assertions with a list of the members who have agreed to support him, while Flow- ers so far has been content to deal only in figures.

Mr. Cox says that thls is, nut the intenti6n. There are approximately 2,500,000 acres of state land remaining unsold.” The amount of this unfit: for :agri- culture has been variously estimated at «from 300,000 to 700,000 acres. Only a survey such as is planned can settle this point definitely, and the many who fought the amendment; supposing it to place hupdreds of tillahle acres beyond reach, should be: satisfied.
