He met four of his com- panions in battle at the” meeting, men whom he had not seen since: 1865. The plan submitted by Mr. Irish to recommend to the state legislature |- that homes of veterans up to a val- uation of $1,200 be exempt from tax. ation, was approved. REPEAL IS OPPOSED. St. Paul, June 7.—Hundreds of church-goers will sign petitions to- morrow against proposed repeal or amendment of war-time prohibition which goes into effect July 1.

Every minister in every church in the northwest has been appealed to take a stand in favor of prohibition tomorrow. : STAGING POLITICAL BATTLE By Don E. Chanrberlain. ntagonists ! he has is embarrassing. % Northelifte is still striking at the e peace conference. believe Ger- many was let off too easily and that |. this could have been avoided by the premier taking a stronger stand. Other 'questions are cropping up, such as the Irish question, the prob- lem of government ownership of pub- lic utilities and the tariff. Already the political fight is com- ere any day likely to be Talk of another gen- home rule to the seize public utili- ties and pare down or eliminate the tariff. o Lloyd George is probably as keen as his opponents for another election, as his present position—head of a coalition government, in which con- +*'«" a market will prove of value to the|servatives have the largest repre- sentation, - while The The coali- always ipremier through his press, but most- ly he has been standing on the side- lines. Probably if there were an- other progressive who could fill the premier’s shoes, Northcliffe would support. him. But with the excep- tion of J. H..Thomas, whose states- manship averted a strike which would have paralyzed Britdin, there is no one. Thomas is a member of parliament and head of the Railway- men’s Union. Bob Smillie, head of the miners, played a stellar role in assisting Thomas, and did wonders in push- ing the question of public ownefship. His quiz of wealthy dukes and lords; owners of the majority of Britain's coal mines, at the recent government probe, boosted considerably the chances of public ownership. But Smillie is not considered quite heavy enough as yet to hold down a primier minister’s job, and, in addition, he is too well hated by conservatives of practically all shades. i The latest suggestion for a new premier comes from the Weekly Dis- patch, a Northcliffe Sunday paper, which pointed out that with a few changes in the coalition cabinet and the substitution of a few -Tories a respectable Tory government could be formed. X In place of Lloyd George, the Dis- patch would substitute Bonar Law, Lloyd George's parliamentary leader. For foreign secretary, Lord Cruzon would be substituted for Arthur J. Balfour. Sir Edward Carson would be given the secretaryship for war, in place of Winston Churchill, and Lord Robert Cecil would displace Thomas Short in the office of home secretary. The dispatch declared” that while such a governmgnt could not win a general election, it would not be necessary, as {t figured the Toriés have sufficient majority to Kkeep them in power for several years. .

D.,, where they went to hear the famed prima donna, Madam Amelita Galli-Curecf, who appeared there in concert. One noted critic has said of the famous singer, ‘“There are accomplished singers ,who leave the hearer cold. They are as heartless in coloratura passages as they are if they attempt to sing purely lyrical and emotional songs, Mme. Galli-Curci, on the contrary, gave as much pleasure by singing her groups of songs, Italian, French and the rest as by her feats of agility. In the old days the great singers studied indefatigably the art of florid song that they might thue be more effective and emotional in lyric measures. Mme. Galli-Curel easily persuades one that the tales told of singers in the. 18th century are not mere legends; that ‘“belcan- to” is not a lost art; that dazzling brilliance in coloratura passages is not incompatible with emotional lyricism. Here is a singer with voice, skill, brains, and heart.” Miss Matitda Collins, daughter of Mrs. D. Collins of Cass Lake arnd Ger- ald Leith Muir of Grand Forks were married at Bemidji last evening. The young couple returned to Cass Lake for a short visit before going to Grand Forks where they will make their home at 1601 University Ave. The bride, who has lived here for the past several .years has a host of friends here and The Times joins with them in wishing them all the good luck possible and hope that some day they will see fit to make Cass Lake their homeé.
