represented the convention of Irish societies
which came to close on saturday.
The entire Irish situation as II appears
TO lriSh-AmerCans was presented to the
British Foreign Secretary. 1t was made
plain that the overwhelming sentiment of
people OF Irish extraction in this country,
well as that of the country at large
advocated an early settlement of the Irish
problem. II was further pointed out that
men eminent in American public life
favored II.
Mr.. Balfour extended every possible
courtesy to the visiting delegation and ex-
pressed great interest in it's mission In
stead of being the mere presentation of a
memorial, as had been the original inten.

ties. the conference with Mr.. Balfour de.
veloped into an informal discussion of the
entire Irish situation. during which the
British statesman won the complete SYM
pathy of his visitors through his uncon.
cealed friendliness toward the Irish people
and the cause of home rule. At the con.
clusion of the conference Mr. Balfour volun-
tarily agreed to dispatch the message to the
British Government, which may write a
new chapter In English history.

BAN ON LUXuRIES TO

Howard Elliott, former president OF
the New Haven railroad, in making
the announcement. said
The public should willingly give
up nonessentials 1t is going to be a
great deal more important for this
country to move food fuel, iron and
the like than to move luxuries.
''On May |, there was, according to

BRITISH HOLDING
CAPTURED GROUND

London, June $50 far the Ger
mans have reacted hesitatinsly before
the tremendous thrust the British de
livered into the long held German line
in Belgium. General Haig's troops
have held all the ground they won,
which reaches at points a depth OF
nearly three miles.
The force of the British drive is
only in part indicated by the reports
of more than G,ooo prisoners taken.
More Germans rake1 in by the Brit
ish net are being sent rearward and
there yet remain to be enumerated
the many guns taken.
While the counter attacks SO far
delivered have not been in great force
and have been readily repulsed with
extremely heavy losses the rush OF
German reserves into the fray cannot
be much longer delayed and much fu-
rious fighting is to be expected before
the attack can be pressed.
From the captured heights the Brit
ish guns are sending their message
of death across a low and level plain
of scarcely five miles in breadth which
separates them from the industrial
capital of Northern France.

AMERICAN ENVOY
REPORTS ERUPTION

Washington. June 9.-Dispatches
from American Minister Long at San
Salvador. sent while the volcano of
San Salvador was erupting, said part
of the city had been destroyed by fire,
but that it was under control. Great
damage was done.
The dispatch said that about 6:35
d. m. severe earth shocks began and
continued until about S.45 p. m, with
varying degrees of intensity.
At about :45 p. IN. the volcano of
san Salvador began to beleh forth
fire and smoke. apparently on the side
toward Quet2altepeque.
There was later one very severe
shock. but the tremors of the earth
continued with decreasing violence
AT the same time there was a steady
shower of dry ashes falling over the
city. The report says damage to the
American legation building will rem
der it uninhabitable, but that all rec
ords are safe. 1t adds that all other
city property appeared practically un-
tenable. One important central bust
ness section has been destroyed by
fire which, at the time Of telegraphing,
seemed to be under control.
No deaths were reported in the min
listers dispatch as being known at
that hour. 1t is quite possible that
either volcanic eruption, fire or earth.
quake might have wrought greater
damage after the sending of his dis
patch.
San Salvador is about three miles
southeast of the volcano of San Sal
vador and is the seat of the govern
ment of the smallest but most dense
ly populated of the republics of Cen
trail America.

NORTHWEST STATES SHORT
Only Montana Has Supplied Over Her
Quota of Men.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-In addition to
its quota of the new national army
to be raised by the selective draft
Minnesota must furnish more than
10000 men for the regular army and
national guard These ranks will be
filled by draft If enough volunteers
do not come forward.
Men who registered Tuesday may

adjutant general and militia bureau
show that recruiting is progressing
slowly in both the regular army and
guard.
North and South Dakota are far
below their quotas in the regular
army. Of the | .l54 men required. the
former has furnished only 361
South Dakota has furnished 627 OF
her quota of 1855 men
Montana jumped into the elite class
with seventy-six recruits bringing her
total up to Isl, thirty-fve more than
her quota.

JAPAN ASKED TO GIVE AID
Ships Constitute Greatest Need of En-
tente Allies.

Washington, June 9-The allied
governments will ask Japan to take
a larger share In the burden of find
ing shipping transports for the COM
mon cause.
Japan, with few exceptions, is en-
gaging her ships in very profitable
carrying business, but free from war
risks, and has lost practically no ton
mage in comparison with the losses of
her allies.
Since ships constitute the greatest
need of the allies and Japan possesses
sufficient vessels to spare a consider
able number for war purposes and
still have more than enough for her
needs 1t Is considered certain the To-
kio government will be requested TO
contribute part of Japan's vessels
to the needs of the allies.

Places Wiped Out.

San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua. June
9-San Salvador, the capital of the
Republic OF Salvador. with a popula-
ton of more than 10000, has been de-
stroyed. according to a dispatch from
San Miguel, Salvador No details as
TO the manner in which the city was
destroyed have been received, but it
undoubtedly was the result of ali
earthquake or volcanic eruption.
An operator who reached the edge
of the destroyed zone reported that
San Salvador was in ruins and that
everything within a radius of thirty
miles had been destroyed by the earth
quake.
The town of Santa Tecla also has
been destroyed according to this re
port Residents of San Salvador are
camping in the streets and parks. Al
the time the report was sent it had
been raining heavily for five hours
The disaster is supposed to have been
caused by an eruption of the volcano
of san Salvador, at the foot Of which
the city is situated.
A dispat h from Tegucigalpa, Hon

wiping out of San Salvador the town:

In regard to the married men Sec
retary Baker said that in all the let
