GENERAL VILLA HAS

MAKES A GOOD SUGGESTION.
MIR. Mendes Wants to See a Welcome
Pavilion in Brunswick

In a communication addressed to
the mayer, the chairman of the coun-
" commissioners and the presidents
Of the Brunswick Board of Trade, the
Civic Association, and the Retail
Merchants Association, A. de Sola
Mendes, vice president and general
manager of the Georgia Coast and
Piedmont railroad, calls the attent-
ion of the officials to the need in Bruins
wick of a welcome or rest pavilion
for the benefit of the many summer
visitors here.
Mr. Mendes points out in his COM
munication that Brunswick is visit
ed during the summer by hundreds
Of visitors, and that there is not a
place in the city where any of these
people can stop time for a little
rest, and he points out the impor-
lance and need Of a rest place Of some
kind.
The suggestion is indeed a timely
one, and it is to be hoped that the
proper authorities will at once take
up the subject.

DISSOLUTION WILL NOT TAKE
PLACE UNTIL MEASURE PASS
Es SAYS REDMOND.
MY HOLD GENERAL ELECTION
Dissolution of Parliament fastened by
Surrender of Government to Army
Officers Who Declined to Serve
Against Ulstermen.

LCndCn, March 24.-~There certain
y will be no dissolution of Parliament
until the home rule blll for ireland
has been passed
This statement was made today by
John e. Redmond, leader of the Irish
Nationalist party Mr.. Rermond ad
ded that the second reading of the
bill would be taken by the house of
commons on March 80, and that the
bill would be proceeded with until it
became a law.
Dissolution of the British Parlia.
ment has been hastened by the re.
cent events growing out of the III
ster situation, according to the opin-
ion generally expressed today in polit.
ical circles. Surrender of the gov.
ernment to army officers who declined
to serve against the Ulstermen is par
ticularly significant.
The Irish Nationalist, it is pointed
out, will notaccept home rule with
Ulster permanently excluded, while
the Government has found it impos--
s1ble to compel Ulster to come under
a Dublin Parliament.
1t isargued that the only way out
OF the difficulty is to have general
election, and no one would be sur
pr1sed if the government during the
second reading Of the home rule bill
next week would eoffer to dissolv
Parliament enscondition that the home
rule, the Welsh disestablishment and
the plural voting bills be passed
Dissatisfaction of the rank and file
OF the Liberals with the governments
treatmentof the army officers is an.
other factor which is likely to hasten
general election.
