"PASS, UNKNOWN WARRIOR."
ESSENCE OF PARLIAMENT.
Monday, November 1st.—In response to a renewed demand for the Admiralty's account of the Battle of Jutland the Prime Minister made the remarkable statement that it was very difficult to get "an official and impartial account," but he added that the Government were willing to publish all the reports and despatches on the subject and leave the public to judge.
Who shall decide, when Admirals disagree?
Why, Julian Corbett, or the great B.P.
"ATHANASIUS CONTRA MUNDUM."
Sir Frederick Banbury.
Owing to the unexpectedly rapid passage through Committee of the Government of Ireland Bill last Friday, the way was cleared for a number of British measures. Although dealing with the most diverse subjects they were alike in one respect—without exception they incurred the hostility of Sir F. Banbury. Whether it was a proposal to reduce the dangers of employing women in lead processes or to give married women in Scotland the same privileges as their English sisters (including the duty of supporting an indigent husband), or to hold an Empire Exhibition, or to set up Juvenile Courts, the hon. baronet found reason for opposing them all.
