Crisis Over Home
Rule Bill Enters
Critical Stage

LONDON, June 23-The crisis in con-
nection with the granting of home rule
to Ireland, entered another stage today
when the Marquis OF Crewe, liberal leader
in the House of Lords, introduced bill
to amend the Irish home rule bill
The terms of the amending bill are
identical with those offered on March, Q,
by Premier Asquith and contemptuously
refused by Sir Edward Carson. the Irish
unonist leader, who described the pre-.
mier's proposal as a "hypocritical sham" "
BY the new bill the parliamentary cleo
tors of each county in Ulster are to be
allowed to decide by vote whether the
county shall be excluded from the pro-
visions of the home rule bill for period
Of six years from the first meeting Of
the new Irish parliament.
The situation has never been paralleled
in parliamentary procedure In the British
Isles Never before has bill been pre-
sented to Parliament to amend measure
not yet on the statute books. This was.
however. the only means of overcoming
the deadlock, as the House of Lords re-
fused to consider the main bill until the
full proposals of the government were
before 1t.

Average Of Human
Life is Increased
Fifteen Years

ATLANTIC CITY. n j.. June 2S.--At
the first general session Of the sixty
fifth annual convention Of the American
Medical association here today Or Victor
c. Vaughn was installed as president Of
the association, succeeding Dr. John A,
Witherspoon Of Nashville. Tenn.
Or. Vaughn made THE Service Of
Medicine TO Civilization" the subject OF
his inaugural address
In the last century tae average Of
human life has been increased by fifteen
Years, and this increase could be dupli.
Gated in the next twenty years" he said
"if the facts we now possess we're ef.
fectively employed.
The further developments OF medicine,
both curative and preventive, depend on
scientific Investigations. The public is
the beneficiary and should in every way
encourage medical research. The federal
government and the states should sustain
and promote scientific research. That
government is the best which secures for
its citizens the greatest freedom from
disease, the highest degree of health and
the longest life. and that people which
most fully secures the enjoyment of these
blessings will dominate the world.
I'VE boast OF a great civilization, but
this is justified only within limits. The
historian OF the future will have no diff
iiculty in convincing his readers that
those who lived at the beginning Of the
twentieth century were but slightly re-
moved from barbarism, as he will tell
that the school. saloon and house OF
prostitution flourished in close proximity;
that the capitalist worked his employees
under conditions which precluded sound
ness OF body: that the labor union man
dynamited buildings: that while we sent
missionaries to convert the Moslems and
the Buddhist, ten thousand murders were
committed annually in our midst, and
that large percentage of our mortality

| WASHINGTON. June 23.-Attempts by
German interests to outbid the United
States for rights TO construct an inter-
oceanic canal across Nicaragua were re-
vealed today to the senate foreign rela-
! tions committee by Nicaraguan Minister
Cammoro. The minister said Germans
had urged that the 100000 offered by
the United States for canal rights and
other concessions was not enough
Senior Cammoro's statement was re-
ceived with surprise and led to much
speculation among members Of the COM
mittee after he left the capitol Some
members understood him to mean that
| Germany had officially approached the
Nicaraguan government and the minister $
difficulty in speaking nglish prevented his
statement from being entirely clear.
Think Bankers Responsible.
Members of the committee who did not
believe that Germany had made any Off
cial suggestions to Nicaragua were in
clined to the opinion that representatives
Of German bankers were responsible for
anything that had been done or even that
Nicaragua might not be averse to play
ing the American game of bluff
1t was recalled tonight that no nation
could expect to build a canal across
Nicaragua to rival that at Panama with
out expending hundreds OF millions Of
dollars and the opinion was expressed that
Germany hardly would be likely to en-
gage in such an enterprise. hTat private
banking institutions, no matter how
rich, should seriously contemplate such
an undertaking when there is some ques-
tion as TO whether the canal across Pan
anna ever will pay was regarded as ex-
tremely doubtful
Senior Chamorro was not specific about
the German offer. but he tried TO make
1t plain that whoever made IT took pains
to show Nicaragua that the United States
was to get much more than II was en-
titled to for $3,OOO.00a He appeared before
the committee particularly to speak of
the political effect upon Nicaragua of
the provisions in the treaty by which
the United States would assume a pro-
tectorate over the country and guarantee
fair elections there as in Cuba. His tes-
timony, members said. was most inter-
esting.

gates were seated from the Second. Third
and Fourth congressional districts. thus
including the delegates from Omaha Mr..
Barnett was not delegate, but was sent
