London, Jan. 156th.— 'he newspapers draw various morals from the Spen Val- ley election. The !‘Times’’ thinks it re- | gis'ers with®larity that there is nn stop- | pinz the flowing tide of labour in the | constituencies. The future of the other nar‘ies depends on whether they can sup- ply, or in coalition trenslate into forms of practical rolitics the half conscious de- sires of a demoecracy which now turns res lessly towards the most positive of political programmes. The *'Daily Tele- graph’’ prefers to see that labour has slipped into aseat between two liberal can- didtes and asks whether this is the time | for those to play into the hands of la- | bour who hold that a realization of is | schemes would mean national ruin. The “‘MorningPost’’ finds it characteristic of the fickle rmultitude that more than ten thorsand voted for Sir John Simon, whose policy during the war in the mat- ter of consecription, had it been followed, would have led to defeat. The ‘‘Chron- icle ’ makes local excuses for the erali- tior defeat, but admits that the bye-clec- tion current is running against the Cov- erniment at this moment. The ‘'Luaily Mail,”’like Mr. Winston “‘hurehill, ar- | gues the point as to whether labour is | ready to govern. 'The ‘‘Daily News’’, | while regretting the defeat of Sir Jchn | Simon, asks what should be the Liberal | atii.ude towards the wave of labour en- thusiasm and replies that the first task of all progressives is to turn out the coali- tion leavipg differences to be setiled la- | ter. S:. Thomas, Jan. 14th.—The repair of | the cable between San Juan and St. | Themas was effected today, operations | havire been delayed for several days | owing to very rough weather, during | which the cable ship was unable to | work. Operations for the restoration of communication between Porto Rico and Jamaica are being commenced immedi- ately. Revd. Barrow who has been acting as assistant here for the past month goes to St. Croix temporarily as assistantrt to Rev. Smith, Parish Priest of St. Paul’s. —St. Thomas Bulletin, Janua®y 12th. It was announcel in All Saints’ Church vesterday that His Lordship the Bishop cf Antigua is expected to comé down by the ‘‘Parima’’ on his visit to Tortola. He will stay here for the consecration of a new altar being erected in memory of the late Rector, the Ven. Archdeacon Eyare Hutson, M.A., K.D.—lbid. MILITARY PRISONERS AT JAMAICA. It is a known faet thatat Jamaica there areat present a number of millitary prison- ers, natives of all these Irelands, who are completing sentences imposed upon them tor various offences committed while on active service in France and elsewhere. It should, therefore, be of some local in- terest to leain that the Acting Govern- or of Jamaica has been giving his careful attention to representations made to him relative to the release of certain mem- bers of the British West Indies Reoiment who are now incarcerated in the General Penitentiary there for various offences committed whilst on active service. From what a representative of the Gleaner was informed last month, there ure certain legal formalities which have got to be overcome. and it is expected that the chief executive will exercise clemency in certain cases in due course. Some of the men who are undergoing sentences recently made representations to the military authorities as to the treat- ment which they assert they receive. 1t 1s understeod that Brigadier General W. S, Gilkert, the General Officer command- ing the troops, paid a visit to the Instiiu tion, and he made it quite clear. after hearing the representations of the men that he could not interfere: that they were prisoners and the prison rules must be observed. As stated above, the Acting Governor is, however, looking into the cases of the men, and it is hoped that many of them will be granted a free pardon in due course. —Loininica Guardian. &f[! o : : Ladies, Heie's Your Opporiunity!
