The res- olution was adopted by the House by two hundred and forty-t'vo to one hun- dred and fifty, the affirmative vote in- cluding a fair percentage of Democrats. London, April 11th—Association games on Saturday weire dominated by the great international mateh between Eng- land and Scotland, on the ‘‘Sheffield Wednesday Ground’’. and this remarka- ble mateh resulted in a victory for the Home Eleven by five goal to four.

The first three goals were scored in five minutes, but at the inter- val Scotland actually led by four to two In the second half the home side played magnificently and in a pericd of ten minutes drove the spectators wNd with enthusiasm by putting on three gogls.

This semi-official announcement was made yesterday. London, April 12th.——The shipping situation, particularly as regards trans- Atlantic trade is causing much concern here among experts. The recent Jjump in rates with regard to passengers, as well as ireight, has aroused strong cri- ticism, shippers pvinting out that the advance cannot be connected with pend- ing increase in the wages us dock work- ers;, as that increase has not yet been settled. The price of bunker coal, they say. is nearly 50% lower than recently, while the amount of shipping available is more than 20% above the pre-war tonnage. The rate of exchange with Americg is given as one reason for the inerease in passengers’ fares Vast quan- tities of meat are nov choking the Brit- ish docks, and its e nivalent loss to the Govt. in attendant nditions, amount to one million two hundred pounds on the month’s price. Reductions have failed tq relieve the acuteness of the situation, because it is said, the re- ductions are not drastic enough and sentiment now favors the ending of Gov*. control. Dublin, April 12th.—Officials of the frish Trades Union Congress and Labour Party today issued a call to the workers of Ireland for a general strike through- out the country tomorrow, as a protest against the treatment of political prison- ers. The officials in their call demand the release of those imprisoned for political offences. The general strike which is called does not affect those emyloyed on newspapers, telegraph ser- vices, bankers humanitarian services and necessary workers among horses and cattle. Constantinople, April 12th—The Turk- ish Nationalists are blamed for the eri- tical situation in this city, in a manifesto issued today by the Sultan’s Govt. It declares that ifthey continue their oper- ations, Anatolia may be occupied by the Entente.
