Critics Disarmed

[Stnf Correspondence ]

LONDON, Nov. 15.-The mists Of IN
certainty and indecision are being
slowly but surely disspated. and out
Of the gloom is rising a policy Of CO.
hesion and coordination and coopera-
ton By which Lloyd George expects
the Allies to 20 forward to victory.
Although it would be a slight eXag-
geration to say that the opposition to
the Premier has completely collapsed,
his policy is so reasonable, so obvious
ly necessary, that his critics have been
forced to drop the question Of details.
IL is like fighting hOwitzers with rifles.
But though his opponents accuse him
Of disappearing British strategy and
British effort and Understanding
British success, some Of the supporters
of his policy back up these charges.
For instance, "The Manchester
Guardian" says:
"By our works we must be judged,

Pleasure Autos Give
Way to'War Trucks;
Big Firms to Aid u. S
[Staf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. Curtailment
Of the manufacture of pleasure cars
during the war period became n prac-
teal certainty to-day, when represen-
tatives of the large automobile inter
ests, following a conference with the
War Industries Board, announced their
intention 10 turn over their facilities
for the manufacture of war materials.
A shortage Of steel plate Is said to
be the chief reason for the curtail-
ment. The War Department, it Is
stated, will place orders during the
next few weeks which will require as
much steel as the annual steel con-
sumption OF the automobile industry In
the United States.
The necessity Of curtailing the sup
ply of steel to automobile manufact-
urers was laid before Hugh Chalmers,
of the Packard company, to-day by the
War Industries Board. Officials of the
Council of National Defence had point
ed out the necessity Of conserving steel
used in motor car manufacture some
weeks ago, but the automobile inter
ests debated the question and subse-
quently declined to accept contracts
for the manufacture Of Liberty motor
trucks and other war supplies.
However, confronted now with what
amounts TO an order Withholding steel
from pleasure car factories, they have
reversed their position and are said to
be anxious to secure government con-
tracts in order 10 keep their plants
and working forces intact.

Republic of Ireland
Only Sim Fein Dream,
Says Lord Wimborne
Measures Taken 10 Prevent
Any Hostile Landing, Lord
Lieutenant Declares

LONDON, Nov. 15.-Viscount Chap
lin, in the House Of Lords, to-day
called attention 10 the grave situation
in Ireland. He referred especially to
the Sim Fein campaign in favor OF an
Independent republic.
Baron Wimborne, Lord Lieutenant OF
Ireland, replying, said he did not share
Viscount Chaplin's gloomy anticipa-
tions. Despite the infammable mate
rial in Ireland, the gravest danger to
be apprehended was the importation OF
arms or a hostile landing. But he had
been assured that, in view OF the steps
taken, neither possibility was likely to
arise. As to the internal situation IN
ireland. that was not out Of hand, ana
generally the country was prosperous.
A governing factor in the situation was
the Irish convention, which he believed
had been rewarded with substantial
progress.
After alluding TO the expected rising
in Ireland last Sunday week, which did
not materialize, the Lord Lieutenant
said that had the executive taken pre-
cipitate action the convention would
have been killed. This incident Justlhed
the governments policy not to seek
trouble, but TO be prepared.
The Sim Feiners, Lord Wimborne
asserted, were not pro-German either
in feeling or impulse. Their idea OF
ireland becoming a republic must al
ways remain a dream, he declared. The
government now had an adequate mill
tary establishment in Ireland.
