give 70 counties an opportunity of induc-
ing the other six/counties to come in VOL
unfairly after the war by an exhibition
of successful, tolerant, sane government
in the south and west. The moment an
attempt was made to give this arrange
ment a complexion of permanency it was
rejected.
The way this matter now stands" saio
Mr. Redmond, lis: The home rule act IS
on the statute book The act which sus-
Ponds its operation provides that if it is
not put into operation before the war
ends then it comes into operation auto
matically unless it be new act of Par
lament. But it is true that the govern
ment is pledged to introduce an amend
ing bill when the act comes into opera
ton. That bill must be considered on
it's merits when the time comes. Our
hands are perfectly free.
Desires listers Friendship
For my part ! desire a friendly. peace
full settlement with Ulster. We do not
want to coerce any part of Ulster which
is against coming in at first, but we will
not tolerate the coercion of any part of
Ulster that favors coming in at first. For
my part, would oppose a provision In
the amending bill which provided for the
permanent exclusion of any portion OF
Ireland. For good or i'll that scheme is
dead"
Mr.. Redmond said the present situa-
ton was the most trying crisis in his
recollection and that a bad blow was
struck at Ireland by the uprising.
Malian influence at Hand
"Al through our history" he con-
tinued, some malign influence has
come from Ireland herself"
The constitutional movement must
continue. he declared. 1T would be
putting our people down as fools. he
went on. IF it was seriously proposed
that they abandon or break up that
movement in favor of the insane ideals
of those who have invited Ireland once
again to have recourse to arms against
the British empire" 1t was lmpossl-
BILE, however, he insisted, that the re-
lations with the government could be
as thew were before and the Irish par
ty now found itself absolutely in oppo-
sition to the coalition government, for
it was face to face again with the
unionist stronghold in Dublin Castle.
SO far as the war was concerned, he
said 'Ireland's attitude was unchang-
ed and she would do nothing calculated
TO postpone for one instant the victori-
Gus ending Of the conflict
Il appeal to the sane men of Ire
land" he added, ''to rally to protect
her from the conspiracy of all that is
tickle. foolish and irresponsible now on
foot"

EASTERN FOOTBALL
GAMES On SATURDAY

New York, Oct. 6.-Intersectional con-
ern football games to be played tomor-
row Five Of the leading southern uni
versitv elevens will appear upon Var
sity cridirons in this section to test
their proves against eastern teams.
The University of Virginia will play
Yale, over which it triumphed by 10
to score last year. Princeton Will have
North Carolina as an opponent, West
Virginia Wesleyan meets Washington
and jefferson faces Fordham, while
the Army will be entertaining Wash
ington and Lee University. The West
will also be represented for Ohio Uni
versity will oppose Syracuse in the
Stadium of the latter university.
The records Of the nlading southern
and western elevens last year show
great scoring power and strong de-
fensive strength, and as they have re-
tanned majority of the is veterans, 1t
is expected that the home combinations
will be forced to uncover something
more than practice football if they are
to hold their own, or win from the
visiting elevens.
Among the more important east VS.
east games. Harvard will meet Tufts,
Pennsylvania will play Franklin and
Marshall; Navy faces Georgetown. Col
gate tackles Maine. Brown has Trim

REDMOND DECLARES HOME RULE
FOR IRELAND NOT THREATENED
If PEOPLE PRESERVE SANITY
In Notable Address to His Constituents Waterford Ireland
He Declares That CONSUMPTION Could Never Forced Upon
Ireland

Waterford, Ireland, Oct. Sin a not
able address to his constituents here
this afternoon. John Redmond, the
Irish Nationalist leader in Parliament
declared that despite the recent re-
oellion, with all it's inevitable after
math Of brutalities, stupidities and in
famed passions home rule for Ire
, land is safe, il ireland remains sane
Mr. Redmond also declared that con-
scription could never be forced upon
Ireland. adding:
CONSUMPTION Would Be Fatal
Il cannot bring myself to believe
that, malign though the influence at
work are, the government will be in
sane enough to challenge conflict
with Ireland on this subject. Conscrip-
ton for ireland. far from helping the
army and the war. would be the most
fatal thing that could happen.
1t would he resisted in every village
in Ireland. It's attempted enforcement
would be scandal which would ring
around the world 1t would produce no
additional men. Continuing, Mr.. Red.
mond said:
The mere threat is paralyzing re-
cruiting. which. mark you, is not dead
as some people say. The latest figures
indeed, show that from the date of
the rising eastern Sunday until Sep
temher. 5000 recruits We're received.
A Political Intrigue
This demand for consumption is not
a genuine military demand. It is a has.
political device put forward by mel
who want to injure and discredit Ire.
lands political future.
The way to continue to get recruits
is far different. Appease the inflamed
feeling IN Ireland; withdraw martial
law; make it plain that the defense OF
the realm act will be administered, not
as it is Icing administered now in diff
ferent parts of Ireland, but in the
same spirit as it is administered in
England, Scotland and Wales; treat
prisoners arrested during the rising as
political prisoners; put an end to in
suits and attacks upon Ireland and rec
ognize generally what she has done.
ION these lines the government may
succeed in recruiting, even after all that
has happened. But as for CONSUMPTION
that way lies madness, ruin and disas-
ter"
