London, July 11.-Premier Asquith

the house of commons said that it
was proposed that the bill should re-
main in force during the war and
twelve months thereafter and If par

vision by that time for a government
Of Ireland the period could be ex-
tended.
Representatives of the imperial ex-
ecutive. the prime minister said, would
have control Of the defense of the
realm act.
Mr.. ,Asquith said the new bill would
contain general provisions reserving
for the exclusive authority of the i'm
perial parliament and government not
only the navy and the army but all
matters arising out of the war.
No Encroachment.
He emphasized that there was no
intention on; the part Of those who
might be associated with the govern

way in regard to a successful prosecu-
ton Of the war. I'VE have here" the
premier said, IAN arrangement such

vantage of the opportunity which
might never occur.
There were features in the settle

to the imperial parliament, while the
appeal court in Dublin would be ap-
pointed by the imperial executive.
Mr.. Asquith recalled his visit to
Ireland, which he said was made to
ascertain whether the Irish parties
might not be disposed to come to an
agreement. AS result of what he
learned, David Lloyd George was
reputed to have opened negotiations
Lloyd George quickly discovered an
agreement was possible on the basis
OF immediate action of home rule

Considerable surprise was manifest

his speech at the county fair Friday
afternoon to allude to or even mention
the name of Representative Cromley
When the governor spoke in the X.
of p. armory last winter at the Lin
coin banquet, he devoted several min

commission to purchase the Wyan-

campaign of 1914, to place under the

have Cromley on this commission.

on that occasion was not altogether

this was used with due effect on viii
