Trying toDecideWhether to
Return to Former System
or Adopt Change Fa-
uored BY People.

DUBLIN, May l+.--Martial law orders
in force here to-day were modified so
that all persons may now come and go
as they wish between the hours of 8
in the morning and midnight During
the remaining four hours they must
keep within doors. II is generally
understood that Premier Asquith is re-
sponsible for this relaxation.
Mr.. Asquiths chief occupation since
his arrival in Dublin has consisted of
seeking Il method for the adjustment
Of the Irish crisis and IN ascertaining
whether it would be advisable TO return
10 the former system of government,
or adopt Il change of rule more in ac-
cordancc with the wishes of the people
The Premier has also given some at
tention To minor factors having to do
with the disposal of the remaining
rebel prisoners and compensation for
the material damage done in Dublin
Neither Of these questions has been
solved. but Mr.. Asquith had an op-
portunity to question a number of
rebels in the detention barracks, and
to-day he again visited the ruins of
buildings destroyed in the various sec
tions OF the city.
Nationalist and Unionist circles ami
matedly discussed tentative suEges-
tions respecting the future govern
ment of the country, with hope, but
without certainty, that change for
the better would be brought about
Mr. Asquith's presence here has lent
color 10 the belief that the Prime
Minister has some project in mind, and
that his study of conditions on the
spot will help him formulate "A definite
plan to place before Parliament
The view widely prevails that Mr..
Asquith will propose to incorporate the
Nationalist and Unionist forces OF
armed volunteers into the auxiliary
troops of the imperial army, and thus
avoid the admittedly perilous prob
lem of disarming everybody in Ire
land not belonging to the recognized
military organizations AT the same
time, sentiment grows apace in favor

could have confidence.
Deep sorrow prevails among the
people OF Dublin, many %. whom lost
relatives either among the rebel troops
during the fighting or among the
civilians who suffered death by stray
shots Many reports are current con-
corning the alleged harshness OF the
troops. but, so far as can be learned,
these appear to have arisen from eX-
