The Pope recalled all that he had done

This and some sections of trench

Four-Day Bombardment.
Kuropatkin's smashing drive was pre-
coded by an intense bombardment,
lasting four days, which battered into
ruins the "impregnable" German de-
fences along the coast line from the

decision had been reached by the gov
eminent on the two points mentioned.
Premier Asquith repeated that the
government would kot introduce any
bill until 1t was satisfied that il met
substantially with the assent of all
parties.
Premier Asquith Explains.
He continued:
In the course of settling upon a bill
to give effect to this object two aues-
tlons arose which required considera-
ton, hrst, as TO the form in which the
exclusion Of the Ulster counties should
oc provided for. II was common ground
10 all parties that this area should not
BE subject to automatic inclusion, and
they would not do more than TO make
that sure.
The other question was the retention
after Home Rule of Irish members in
the Imperial Parliament In undiminish-
ed numbers. After final and full exam
nation Of the question the government
felt that they could not themselves
agree and could not expect the House
OF Commons TO agree that the full
number should be retained after an
election. The government had no in
tention of introducing any Home Rule
bill with regard to which there was no
substantial agreement among all par
ties"
At this point Mr.. Redmond moved the
Adjournment.
In the course of his speech Mr. Red
mond said that the proposals LLOYD
George put before Sir Edward Carson
and himself were in no sense their pro-
posals. but after considerable negotia-
tons and many changes they agreed
70 recommend them 10 their friends
Mr.. Redmond declared that he had had
the greatest difficulty in obtaining the
consent OF his supporters. not one Of
whom would have considered the pro-
posals unless they were nut forward
as purely temporary settlement for
the period OF the war.
He added that the agreement was for
the provisional settlement of the ques-
tion until the war was over, or until n
tnal and permanent settlement was az
rived at within limited time after the
war The first words proposed were
that the whole bill should remain in
force during the continuance OF the
war and for twelvemonth afterwarl,
but Sir Edward Carson objected that IL
Parliament took no action during the
twelve months after the war then the
six Ulster counties should be excluded
from the operations of the Home Rule
act OF 1914. To meet Mr.. Carson's objec-
tlons the following words were added:
But II Parliament has not by that
time made further and permanent pro-
vision for the government of Ireland,
the period for which this bill shall
remain in force is to be extended by
order of the Council for such time az
is necessary to enable Parliament 20

would be accepted by Carson and would
be incorporated in the agreement. An
other fundamental proposal was that

Der of Irish members Of the Imperial
Parliament was 70 remain as at pres
ent, and this We regarded as an indis-
pensable factor of the temporary char
acter of the whole arrangement.
Having attained the consent of our
supporters to this agreement, | was
faced on my return to London by an
entirely new proposal from the Mar
quis Of Lansdowne, which came as a
bolt from the blue. Lord Lansdowne,
in a speech in the House Of Lords, de-
clared the bill TO be introduced wou! i

of the act of 1914 which would be
permanent and enduring, and | imme-
diately protested.
Saturday last Mr.. Lloyd George and
the Home Secretary informed me the
Cabinet had decided to insert in the
bill two provisions one for the per-
manent exclusion of the Ulster counties
and another cutting out of the bill the
agreement for the retention Of the
Irish members at Westminster during
the transtory period. This decision
was declared to be absolute and final.

ment we came to. | will not agree 10
any new proposals which would mean

If they introduce a bill on the lines
indicated we will oppose it at every
stage"
Carson Replies to Redmond.
Sir Edward Carson, responding TO
Mr.. Redmond, said that when he went
into negotiations he thought only Of
what was best to help win the war.
compared with which Home Rule or
anything else mattered little. He never
would have touched the negotiations
except IS war measure and had made
u perfectly clear from the beginning
that the six Ulster counties must be
struck definitely out Of the Rome Rule
act. He was not asking. however, for
permanent exclusion, Sir Edward added.
No settlement made by Parliament
could be permanent. He stood by the
agreement announced by the Prime
Minister that the Ulster counties could
not be included without bill.
Concluding. Sir Edward appealed to
the Nationalist members not TO lose all
the good that had come out of the
negotiations.
William O'Brien, leader OF the Inde-
pendent Nationalists, said:
Fortunately FOR England and for
Ireland, the partition plot is dead and
damned. Millions of the Irish race will
rejoice with all their hearts tomorrow
over its death"
Redmond's motion for adjournment
was finally voted down.

The situation is bad. The public

Wilson refuses to make a change.
How many lives must be needlessly

bers would resist any attempt to force
the bill with these notifications. This
remark called forth loud cheering from
the Irish members.

Continuing, Mr.. Lloyd George said
that if that was the Irish view it would
be idle for the government TO intro

Mr.. Redmond said that he did not want
to attack anybody. but merely to state
the facts, which, he said. spoke for
themselves.
He added that, two months ago,
Premier Asquith had returned from Ire
land and announced that the present
system Of government had broken down
and declared that the Cabinet had
unanimously requested Mr.. Lloyd
George 20 bring about an agreement
He asked, amid loud Nationalist
cheers, whether the government had
decided to depart from the terms Of
the agreement arrived at by the Irish
party and based upon the proposals
made by the Secretary for War, David
Lloyd George, whether the government
had determined 10 insert in the bill
new proposals at variance with the
agreement without consulting the Ma
tionalists, and whether the Premier had
received an intimation that bill so
framed would be vigorously opposed By
the Nationaists.

out that the agreement was subject 20
