HOME RULE FOR IRELAND * WITH ULSTER LEFT OUT.

he Evening Standard,

According to the Evening Standard, influences are working for a settle n4ent of the Irish question by grant ing Home Rule at the earliest possi- ble moment, with 1ster excluded. In the interim, the newspaper says, the Premier may propose a temporary government of Ireland by advisory board consisting of Irishmen belong ing to both parties
 Lord Wimborne, the Lord Lieuten- ant of Ireland when the Sim Fein rebellion broke out, caused a stir to- day at the Royal Inquiry Commis- sfon's session when he declared that the Admiral at Queenstown received information that Sir Roger Easement had left Germany and that his ship, accompanied by two submarines, might be expected off the Irish coast about Easter Sunday, which inforrna- tion, he said, was not communicated to the Irish government.A Ever since the Irish division went to the front last summer, the Irish garrison has been inadequate, and in March of this year he urged Gen. French to send division of troops to Ireland. Early this year the police reports showed that the Sim Fetn movement was growing, and Lord wimborne then suggested deportation or intern ment as a. remedy.
 It was pointed out, added Lord Wimborne, that association with the enemy must first be proved. SubSe- quently 1t was thought that this was proved and he urged the simultaneous arrest of between 60 and 100 leaders. The rebellion began while this was being considered.
 The greater part of the conmis- sion's session was devoted to con flicting testimony of ex-officia1s of the Irish Government and War Office representatives as to whether or not the Dublin government had actually and formally called for troops to Nre- vent an uprising. The War Office understanding seemed to be that these troops were wanted to stimu- late recruiting, which was not deemed necessary by the War Office.

London, May 23.-A full statement of the facts for which 15 Irish insur- gents have been put to death will be made in the House of Commons to- morrow by Prime Minister Asquith. He announced yesterday that he is anxious because of the misunderA standing on this subject in America to present the statement at the ear Hest possible moment.
 Regarding the case of Jeremiah C. Lynch, a natura1ized American citi- zen, long resident of New York, the Foreign Office stated yesterday that General Maxwell, the comnander-in- chief in Ireland, has reported to Mr. Asquith by wire that Lynch partic1- pated in the rebellion openly and that during the fighting he was frequently seen in Liberty Hall in Irish uniform A court martial sentenced him to death, but after receiving from the American embassy a request that ex- ecution of sentence be stayed until the government at Washington could inquire into the circumstances, Gen. Maxwell reviewed the sentence and comuted it to ten years imprison- ment.- It is believed that Gen. Max well left the way open to Premier As quith for a further communication of sentence.
 It was officially announced in Dub lin yesterday that the sentence of death imposed upon Peter Ga11ighan has been commuted to five years penal serYitude. A number of other persons have been sentenced to vari- ous terms of imprisonment.

 Under the present system the law yers will not be allowed this privilege, the originals being carried direct to the judge by the clerk or otherwise conveyed by these officials through the anafls

Henry Serr, just returned home from

"Of course" says Mr.. Serr, 81 lost
no opportunity to tell Of .one of our
great assets, and always found inter-

with whom | talked had not heard of

the first available opportunity.
"The middle west is wonderfully

ness than in anything else. The hotels
of Des Moines, Omaha, Sioux City and
Chicago are having more business than
they can handle. The citizens of the

money freely. And next summer we
are going to get some direct benefits
from this prosperity, when hundreds
and hundreds of families are out for

from my observations, sincerely be-

good one"
MIR. Serr says that the prosperous
conditions of the middle western states
will led to heavy purchases of north

satisfactory profits" !"
Despite all of the prosperity of the

Danger Signal

If the fire bell should ring would you
run and stop it or go and help to put out
the fire? 1t is much the same way with
a cough A cough is danger signal as
a fire bell. You should no more try to
suppress it than to stop fire bell when
it is ringing, but should cure the disease
that causes the coughing This can
nearly always be done by taking Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Many have
used it with the most beneficial results.
1t is especially valuable for the persist
ent cough that SO often follows bad
cold or an attack of grip. Mrs. Thomas
Beeching, Andrews, Ind, writes: Dur
ing the winter my husband takes cold
easily and coughs and coughs. Cham

FEUL SHORTAGE
SOURCE OF WORRY

The acute shortage of fuel is the
source of serious worry for Hood River
h0useholders at the present time. Coal
dealers are unable to obtain a supply
on account Of the car shortage, and
families whose homes are heated by
coal burning furnaces or CRATES are
having to use slabwood. Owners of
business blocks are short on the coal
supply.
During the past season compare
lively small amount of cordwood was
cut throughout the valley. Sawmlls
we're closed down last year, and the
limited supply of dry slab wood held by
dealers has already been consumed. II
is impossible to buy kindling wood in
Hood River, and many families have
been borrowing enough dry wood from
neighbors to start the morning fires.

animals seated on their launches, we're
pushed by the dray down the grade.
The wagon was stopped by a telephone

APPLE WRAPPER
PRICE TO BE- DOUBLED

The cost of wrapping paper for

doubled next season, according to W.

an expensive item in the preparation
of a crop of apples for the market.
This season, with paper costing Al
cents per pound, the average price paid
BY growers for the carload lot, has
been 81 500. Hood River, using total
of q carloads of paper, paid $3l, 500
for paper.
Mr.. White does not contemplate any
shortage in the supply of wrapping pa
