THE WAR.

r.MTi;i) Pukss Association. London, July 1. In the Mouse of Commons Mr McKenna characterised as scandalous and wholly false Mr Ginnell's suggestion that British troops were killing Germans after they laid down their arms. Sir A. R. Markham asked Mr MeKenna to convey to the German menl. an ultimatum that .Mr Ginnell is of unsound mind. At the instance of Sir A. J. Simons two thousand miners' delegates" met in Loudon on Wednesday to bringabout a voluntary increased output. The Archbishop of Canterbury, speaking at Lambeth Palace, suggested the enrolment of a body oi women to sustain a continuous chain of silent prayer at S o'clock in the morning and 8 o'clock at night, or alternatively a general ejaculatory prayer at noon when the church bell reminded Christians of their responsibility and privilege. He suggester: "God bless our King and country and defend our right." This would prove ms wholesomely effective and as good as the German cure against England, and prove baneful to those taught to ejaculate it. The .Morning Post, discussing the rise in spelter, says German intrigues have heen going on to increase prices to embarrass the Entente and also to induce the United States Government to prohibit the exportation of spelter. The paper, adds: Something of the same is-going on in respect to lead. When America is the largest producer of lead, and for days at a time has heen a buyer of unlimited quantities, the exportation excites suspicion. The sooner the authorities examine the matter the better for national interests.
