 1UBLIN, July S.-(SDecial Cor ID respondence. )--When the great E1cS6zrf European war broke out and l.ssesK~J the party truce was declared in
 England the friends of Ireland trembled for the fate of home rule. It seemed as if Ireland was once again to be robbed by fate of the fruits of the age long work of her patriotic sons. and there were some Irishmen-true patriots nnd stalwart supporters of John Red mond and his party-who honestly re- gretted Redmond's policy of loyalty to England and believed that he should have put on the screw in the day of Eng lands difficulty to force from her inn mediate home rule.
 Fortunately Redmond's policy prevailed and there are today few Jrishmen in Ireland. except the few irreconcilable fac tionsts and soreheads, who do not freely admit that Redmond's statesmanship has fully Justified itself and that Ireland to- day occupies far stronger position in the British empire than she ever did be- fore-and that wholly because of Red monds tact and ability. It is true that when the coalition government was formed and 1t was found that 1t included Ngome of the most bitter enemies of Ire lands aspirations, such as Sir Edward Carson and Sir F. E. Smith, there was some misgiving but Redmond has again lroved that he was capable of dealing with the situation and that Ireland mas nothing to fear.
 The fact is that today Redmond is one of the most powerful politicians in the British empire, and nothing can be done by the Parliament of the United Kingdom without his consent. He is also becoming almost as popular in England as in Ire land for he stands today for the preserva- tion of those liberties that the average Englishman holds so dear, and which were threatened by what many believe to be unjustifiable anxiety, or even panic, over the military situation. I had a concrete example of this new popularity the other day while dining at leading Dublin club. One of the party English bus- ness man who has always been a high tory and who in the old days seldom mentioned Redmond's name except to exc crate 1t. On this occasion he raised his glass to me and said. Here's to John Redmond, the man who saved us from teetotalism and conscription.' The toast was half in jest, of course, but it was fully in earnest. This tory I1nglishman recognized that John Redmond and his party had prevented the triumph. under the cloak of the war. of the faddists and the old-fashioned militarist conscription- 1sts in Britain.

 Encarnacion. Paraguay. 60AvE you ever heard of En- l' carnacion7 It Is little town DU00yI of 15.0oo, in the very heart of U4ffy the South American conti-
 nent It is situated about half way between the Amazon river and the Strait of Magellan. It Is as far west of the Atlantic ocean as Pittsburg. and as far east of the Pacift as the dis tance from New York to Chicago. It is at the southern end of the Paraguay republic. and just across the river from the Argentine Mesopotamia, a great block of fertile land which Hes between the Paraguay and Uruguay rivers. En- carnacion is on the Alto-Parana. That river rises in the highlands of Brazil, and flows over the Niagara Falls of South America, within a hundred miles or 50 of where am writing. From here 1t flows on toward the west, and, unit ing with the Paraguay, Is known as the Farana proper. up which river. I came on my way to Asuncion. The town is to some extent in the wilderness and in one of the great undeveloped regions of this undeveloped continent
 Within the past year or 50 only, this country has been penetrated by rail. ways. Encarnacion is the terminus of the Paraguay Central that connects here with the Argentine system, form ing a through route by rail from Bue. nos Aires to the capital of Paraguay. Until this road was completed the only way to reach Paraguay was by the Parana river, and the trip to Asuncion took from five to seven days. I was five days in coming up the river and did not land until the sixth day. By the railroad the journey can be made in about 60 hours and this time will eventually be cut to two days or less. An extension is being made from the Paraguay Central to the Falls of the River Iguazu, and within a year or 50 it will be possible to reach that great natural wonder by rail At the falls the railway will link up with the Brazilian system, and will make it pos sible to go from Rio de Janeiro to the heart of Paraguay by railroad The distance from here to San Paulo as the crow flies is not farther than from New York to Cleveland, and to Peurto Allegro Is not much farther than from New York to Buffalo. The present rail- way route between the two points Is much longer.
 l have been on the train all day in coming from Asuncion to Encarnacion. We left at a. Tn. and got here at sun set travelling through what to me is one of the most interesting countries of the world. The whole way was over the Paraguay Central railroad. and much of it through well settled land The Para quay Central is one of the old roads of South America 1t was started by the
