"FoRCE WILL BE
 MET WITH FORGE"
Declaration of John E. Redmond ct St.
 Patrick's Day Dinner.

London, March 1T-John E. Red mond, leader of the Irish nationalist party, presided over the Irish National banquet here tonight and in respond ing to the toast Ireland a Nation" said: Tn a few short weeks in the absence of a political earthquake, the home rule bill will be a law of the land, probably in precisely the form In which 1t now stands
 The efforts of the government te conciliate Sir Edward Carson. the Cf- ster leader, and his friends, MT. Red mond declared, had met with insult. He referred to the failure to agree on the temporary exclusion of any part of Ireland. and declared that it was a great sacrifice to make as the price of peace but in making that sacrifice. to avoid 8 conflict. they had made absolutely no sacrifice of principle If the proposal had been for the perna- nent exclusion of one inch of Irish territory they would unhesitatingiy have rejected 1t, as the principles of the bill must be maintained
 Speaking for myself and my col leagues and, l believe, the Irish ns- tion," MT. Redmond continued, these principles are our last word. Beyond them one inch we cannot, and we will not go. If force is interposed, that force will be met with force"

TO SAVE DEPoSITORS
 EXPENSE OF COUNSEL
State Asked to Conduct Legal Pro-
 ceedings in Their Behalf.

New York, March 17-A plea to Governor Glynn to have the state through the attorney general conduct all legal proceedings on behalf of the depositors of the Siegel private bank, without expense to them is contain ed in a letter to the governor written by Frederick R. Coudert counsel for the depositors.
 Unless some protection is afforded to the depositors,' the attorney wrote, the small amount which may ulti- mately be distributed among them will be greatly decreased by expenses such as lawyers and accountants charges"
 MT. Coudert wrote that it seemed 'an elementary duty" on the part of the state in some measure to compen- sate for the negligence of the state in the past in not taking adequate steps to protect this large class of de- positors, who, by reason of their un- familiarity with business, are liable to be drawn into speculative and ut terly unsafe investments of their small savings"
