The Wellington correspondent of the "Lyttelton Times" states that in tho House yesterday, Mr Massey, in urging tho adjournment till Monday, announced that the leaders would have to leave soon to attend the world's greatest peace conference in Europe. They could not go unless the House dealt with essential business, therefore he proposed to ask the House to sit five days a, week, including tho mornings. Ho Agreed xo adjourn to Tuesday in order to enable members to assist their electorates to organise a campaign against influenza ■. The peace news and the epidemic have upset-political calculations day by ia v- von the leaders axe unable to hazard forecasts. It Is now probable that tho House will remain sitting after tho leaders' departure, provided a complete understanding is arrived at as tho result of caucuses. The Liberal carious is not yet fixed. The present temper of members is that the leaders should go at the earliest moment, but Mr Massey will stand by until contentious matters arc settled. •
