News From Foreign Lands

Especial Correspondence of The Argus.)
London--The Irish home rule bill
is not to be introduced in the house
Of commons before Easter. Thus far
the members of the ministry have
kept the secret as to the details of
the bill entirely to themselves, I'M
less perhaps the nationalist leaders
have been given a hint as to how far
the government is prepared to go.
Mr.. Churchill delivered a long speech
In Belfast without letting very much
out and he has been followed by Mr..
Birrell, the Irish secretary, who has
said even less. He, however, did tell
the country that the bill was to be
introduced by Mr.. Asquith, the pre-
mier in this respect following the ex-
ample of William Ewart Gladstone,
who personally introduced both his
home rule bills and that this was
proper, as the bill was no depart
mental measure, but an important
and an authoritative act of the whole
liberal party"
The preamble or first clause will
set forth that the bill sets up on
Irish soil an Irish parliament, house
of commons and a senate, with leg
islative authority over the whole
range of purely Irish domestic af.
fairs. This was hardly news. What
the people have been asking is what
safeguards have been inserted to pro.
tect the Protestant minority in u
ster. and more particularly what are
to be the financial arrangements
The ministers have assured the VI
sterites that the safeguards agains

in previous home rule campaigns.
What will trouble the ministers
are the financial arrangements. Ma
tionalist members speaking in Ire
land lately have been demanding full
fiscal autonomy, a demand that the
government can hardly grant and
refusal of which might cause the bill
TO be rejected by the Dublin conven-
ton, as was the Irish councils bill.
The government might grant the con-
troll of excise or inland revenue, but
to hand over the control of the GUS
toms would be to court the opposi-
ton of some of their own English
and Scotch free trade supporters It
has been suggested that a way might
be found out of the difficulty by in
Producing provision that complete
! free trade should be continued be-
tween the two countries and by CIV
ing the Irish parliament the power
of varying the rates of customs du-
ties on foreign imports, while with
holding the power to vary the ar
ticles on which duty is now levied. If
the demands of Ireland as 10 finan-
cial arrangements are not satisfac-
tory, Mr.. Redmond might prefer to
oppose the bill before submitting it
to the convention.
Besides the alleged unfairness of
4 placing Protestant Ulster under a
! government which, by the nature of
things would be largely made up of
Roman Catholics, the unionists are
fighting the government on the A.
nances. They point out that the
trade of Ireland has increased enor-
mously in recent years and that now
England gets very appreciate por-
: ton of its food supplies from the
sister isle. So long as Ireland re-
: mains in the union no enemy could
: stop that supply, on which England's
: very life might depend-no enemy
that is, except an unfriendly govern
ment in Dublin, which could stop the
export of food to England when II
needed il most. Ulster, too, they
say, should have something to say
about the disposal of the customs col
lections, for while it pays something
over 100000 annually in Gus.
tens, the rest of ireland contributes
under 100000.
II is estimated that the expenses oil
government in Ireland are about
S5S, 100000 and the income from
the island Sal, 100000. The balancs
has come out of the pockets of the
other members of the union and the
government in its bill proposes thaf
Ireland should be granted a subsidy
for 1 years TO cover the deficiency
Then there are the old age pensions
paid by the imperial exehequer anC
the billion dollars invested in lanC
purchase and other matters o
finance, very one of which offers
difficulty to the trainers of a HON,
rule bill. To satisfy all, of course
is impossible, and even to satisfy
sufficient number of members of tn,
house of commons TO make home rul
possible this year, unionists say, i
out of the question. Therefore the
are looking for general election i!

Both sides are campaigning Il

The above group Of leaders was or
ganized and trained by Physical Direc-
tor M A Clevett last fall, for service
in leading the work in the large classes
which have attended the work in the
local Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium during
the present year. They have done
faithful service in handling the classes.
Indeed. It would have been a physical
impossibility for Mr. Clevett to handle
his large classes without some assist
ance such as these men have given.
Those in the group are as follows:
Front row-Swann, Wilson, Cook, Shift
fer, Woods, Fulmer. Rear row-Dean,
Johnston, Fotsche, Clevett, Wiener, A.
Lundeen, C. Lundeen.
The past season has been probably
the most largely attended one in the
history OF the local associations work.
The record for the last six months,
during which Mr.. Clevett has had
charge, shows a notable increase over
all figures made in other years. Mr..
Clevett reports total class enrolment
Of $50 men and boys, which is an in
crease of IS per cent over last years
enrolment. The total class attend
ance for the six months has been 4,2OS
an increase of 20 per cent over last
years figures. The bath rooms, small
as they are, have provided in the
neighborhood of ten thousand baths
during the season, thus contributing il
no small measure to the cleanliness o.

three interclass basketball tourna-
ments, with IA teams playing, interest
ing some so men and boys.
There was one very successful exhi-
bition given, early in the season, with
125 members participating and 400 peo-
pie as spectators. The leaders club,
shown above, have been prominent fig
ures in gym tests" at Davenport and
Clinton, in each case constituting the
largest visiting delegation of some four
or FIVE associations represented, and
presenting some excellent lines of work.
All of this work has been accom-
plished with the very meager equip
ment afforded by the local Y. NJ. c. A.
gymnasium, coupled with the enthusi-
asm Of the director. and the interest
of his classmen. With a new equip

Churchill's visit. 1t Is expected that
there will be in the parade 100000
members of the Ulster Unionist coun-
Gil, Loyal Orange lodges and unionist
clubs of Ireland.
Should the bill be- accepted by the
nationalist convention, or even II re-
jected be proceeded with, the debate
in the commons will rank as one of
the great parliamentary duels. With
Mr.. Balfour out of the house, as he
has been since the opening, Mr.. As
quith has been the master of de-
bate. Mr.. Balfour, however, is COM
ing back for the home rule bill and
will take a prominent part in the
earlier discussions. The two great
speeches will thus be delivered by
the old opponents and the harder sub
sequent fighting left to Mr.. Churchill,
Lloyd George and other ministers on
one side and Bonar Law, the unionist
leader, Sir Edward Carson and other
front-bench unionists on the other
side.
Paris-Undismayed by failure
extending over IL years, the French
detective police have again started
worldwide search for the three
children of Madame Sourdillon, who
disappeared in 1899 and who are be-
lieved to be now living in the United
States. The case is so appealing and
pathetic in its nature that the police
have asked the newspapers of Amer
lea to assist in finding some trace OF
the missing children, the oldest OF
whom, If living, Is now young wo.
man of Is years.
Madame Sourdillon has spent hel
life and her fortune in an endeavol
to find her children. She is the
daughter of Charles de la Sale, z
surgeon of the French navy, who fol
distinguished and gallant services
vas presented with a sword by the
city of Brest., Mademoiselle de IL
Sale married 10 years ago Caesar
Louis Sourdillon, who was then {
Partisan journalist. In 1899 she OBJ
tanned a divorce on the ground o
cruelty and abandonment. The de
cree provided that the husband b.
permitted to see their three children
one day a week. On April 10, 1899
Madame Sourdillon's maid took th'
cbildren-Louise, aged 6; Berthe, 4
and Charles, ITO the house of /;

The approaching dedication of a
monument to Champlain on the bor-
ders of the lake which bears his name
and to which France will send a spe-
cial delegation with a beautiful bust
by Rodin, has created considerable
interest in the district where Cham
plain was born.
The explorer was born at Brouage,
about eight miles south of Roche
fort, in the department of Charente-
Inferieure. On the monument which
was erected in his honor in 1878 at
Brouage one reads that Samuel
Champlain was born towards 1870"
1t was from Brouage that the future
founder of Quebec went to Havre and
thence sailed to the new world. To-
day his natal town, formerly an i'm

in the center of a marshy territory
from which the sea long ago retired.
At the deep ditch, which was for
merly the edge Of the port, customs

rings where vessels formerly tied up.
On the ramparts, now covered with
vegetation, may still be seen the arms
of Mazarin, who was Captain of
Brouage."
Also may be seen in this melan-
choly village a church which incloses
among other tombs that of the Mar
quis of Carnavalet, an ancient prison,
and finally, the ruins of the walls
and door of the house In which
Champlain was born, ruins which
we're recently purchased by an Eng

An interesting celebration which
