Effort House of Lords Is Max
ing to Destroy the Land Bin
Now Pending.

LONDON, Oct. 1T. P. oCononr'
M. p, will sail shortly for the United
States at the request of John E, Red
mond, the Irish leader, to explain the
political situation here to the supporters
OF the Irish cause in America and to ap-
peal for funds to carry on the struggle
for home rule.
The Nationalists regard the approaching
general elections as one of the most crit
ical periods in their history. and the full
power of their organization will be util-
lied in helping the liberals deprive the
house of lords of the power of veto,
which they claim is the sole remaining
obstacle to home rule.
The Nationalist point of view Is set
forth in an appeal Mr.. Redmond is for
warding to NJ. ]. Ryan, Of Philadelphia.
The statement said:
CRISIS FOR IRELAND.
"a great crisis in the Irish struggle has
arisen. The house of lords is engaged
at this moment in destroying the Irish
land bill, with its promise of closing the
land war of centuries and completing the
restoration of all the land of Ireland to
her people and the banishing forever Of
misery and famine from the west OF
Ireland General elections are certain
within the next two weeks. In these
elections the veto OF the house of lords
will be at stake. and with the veto OF the
house of lords will disappear the last OBJ
stacle to home rule.
"Ireland will have arrayed against her
all the forces of landlordism, wealth and
privilege. Once more we appeal to our
race to help us fight against these row.

 That Mexico today constitutes a yelled despotfsm cannot be denied. That any other form of government is available for the population and the conditions existing in that coun- try is also indtsputable.
 President Diaz understands the situation. He has it in hand, and II would be a glorious result for Mex leo and for as if he could hold the reins of power for the next one hundred years
 He first disposed of the intoler. ant and fanatical clergy
 He next summarily solved tha problem of intercene revolution.
 He is master of the situation and among his foremost cardinal poli- cies there was a disposition to cul tivate the good will, court the am ity and adopt so far as existing con ditions would permit, the example and system of the United States
 Any other course would have led him to inevitable disaster. Today the public school system of Mexico is admirable, and this, along with the levelheaded financial system O the country, so recently adopted, i, of such men as Diaz.

 While the masses do not realiz, the fact, the government of Mexic' understands, that after the day,
