 "IN PARLIAMENT | Ui .hanB_n OBIMiTTEE TO CGfiSIDEB LEHOTHEMiHG I LIFE OF THE HOuSE j WAR SECSET4RYS SEAT I In the House of Commons on Wedues- av Mr. Swift MaclSeill asked whether ip Foreign Ofhcs rula still obtain-i that ermans of military age, being subjed to rilitarv service, are to bo regarded as lembers of the enemy's forces and liable > capture if found on board ii e u t i, ai kips. Lord Robert Cecil said no change was ontempLated in connection with the rule i the practice referred to. The Govern- lent believed that the practice wa.s in full ceordance with the law of nations. FIRST CLASS FOR PRISONERS. t. Mr. Ashley asked whether the Hecre- ary for War was aware that on the 6th illy tome 65(1 German non-commissioned officers and men. unwounded prisoners of .ar. were eent from Southampton, to the vorth in a train consisting almost en- irely of first-class corridor carriages and a loons: w hether similar accommodation s provided by the German military luthorities for our men when captured; tnd whether English privates in the united Kingdom, when moved by train or vhen travelling under railway warrant, .ravel first-class. Mr. Forster said he was informed that i o trains were run to the north on the day named containing German prisoners of war. In the whole of the two trains there were ten first-class compartments. The. military authorities specially asked for corridor carriages in order to provide for escort duties, and the rolling stock mentioned was all that was available. lie imagined the Gc'rman authorities would in similar circumstances use any rolling stock available. (Derisive laughter.) The answer to the third part of the question was in the negative. Sir A. -Alarkhai-ti asked whether the War Office had not information that British prisoners of war were conveyed in Ger- many in cattle trucks? Mr. Forster: I suppose the Germans convey them just as we do, in any rolling l stock available. A Member: They are laughing at you. WOOL CLIP PRICES. Mr. Forster announced that the percen- tag of pre-war prices, on wool clip had been increased from 30 to 35. RELEASE OF IRISH PRISONERS. Mr. Samuel said tbe Advisory Commit- tee had recommended the release of 460 pri&onprs arrtd on suspicion in connec- tion wilb the Irish rebellion, and this wc'L?d be given dff'ct to at onCe. MESOPOTAMIA. Mr. Asquith said he did not think it an opportune moment to disc-iitss the conduct of the campaign in Mesopotamia. There Nrt-.s 110 desire to keep back anything, and non one was more desirous than the Gov- eminent to have a diseuesion. Sir E. Carson said he "olJld put the j question of Mesopotamia next week, and if the reply Via.S unsatisfactory, he would move the adjournment of the Ptouise. V ECONOMIC CONFERENCE. Mr. Asquith said the Government had npprcved of the reflohitions passed by the Paris Economic Conference. L LIFE OF PARLIAMENT. Mr. Asquith said the Government had j decided to ask the House of Commons to appoint a Select Committee, to which all information in the possession of the Gov- ernment as to registration and franchise '()uld be referred. It was obvious that the life of Parliament must be extended J to some extent. No member of the Gov- ] eminent intended to t-it on the Select i Ccninr.HiK'. y Mr. Asquith introduced ? ^ill to make temporary provision, rendering unnecee- sary the re-election of members on ac- t oeptance of certain o8ices. The ministers ¡ effected were the n?w War Secretary and j ? the Mini?Lpr eu Munitions. One r?a?on hy a spcria l measure is necessary to cover the cases named is :hat t h Ministry of Munitions was not included in the schedule of the Act .)f 1867, nor was it added when the office fras create Oast year. It is contended by I f;Gme sticklers that Hr. Lloyd George was fiot quite in order as a member of Par- liament without re-election when he he- i; came Minister of Munitions.
