though not consisting exclusively of
 members of parliament, and meeting under the chairmanship of some one commanding the same general conf1- dence in his tmpartialty and judg-
 ment as MT. Speaker himself. The government feels that a pro- posal which provides for immediate
 home rule for the greater part of Ire-
 land. while excluding that part of Ire-
 land which objects to coming under
 the home rule act for & definite per-
 iod, when parliament will consider
 the matter afresh; which recognizes
 the profound sentiment existing in
 Ireland for the unity of the country
 by creating q common, council to coh-
 sider Irish affairs as . whole, and
 which. finally. sets up a representa- tive conference to attempt to adjust the most difficult questions involved,
 is as far as they can possibly go to- ward effecting legislative settlement in the crisis of great war. They are prepared to introduce a bill on these lines.
 ''But they feel 1t would be idle. and am sure you will agree with them. to introduce such bill unless 1t were assured of something like a second reading acceptance from both, Irish parties. I sincerely hope that if the government introduce this bill the party of which you are the head will give. this measure of support to the proposals, which will give immediate self-government in Ireland to those who wish for it and will at tho 'same time create and keep continuously in being the means whereby a final reconciliation between the two sec- tions of the Irish people can at any time be brought about.
 "We earnestly recommend the pro- posals which I have outlined above to the dispassionate consideration of the men of all parties. If upon such consideration basis for immediate action Is found in them we shall pro- ceed at once with the necessary steps to carry them into effect. If this should not be the case there remains an alternative plan, which. though 1t has been sometimes seriously dis cussed, has never been authoritatively proposed-that of assembling con- vention-of Irishmen of all parties for the purpose of producing a scheme of Irish self-government.
 "As you will remember, the con- stitution of the Union of South Africa was framed despite most formidable difficulties and obstacles, by a con- vention representative of all the in- terests and parties in the country and the government believe that sim- liar expedient might in tho last resort be found effectual in Ireland.

 London, May 17.-The admiralty announces the arrival of American destroyers in British waters as fol- lows: !,
 ''The British admiralty states that . fotilla of United States destroyers recently arrived, lin this country to cooperate with our naval forces In the prosecution of the war;
 Rear Admiral Sims Is in general command of all the United States naval forces that are sent to European waters and is in daily touch with the chief of the British naval staff.
 The, admiralty announcement says the services which the American vessels are rendering to the allied cause are Of the greatest value and are deeply appreciated.
 Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, of the British brand fleet. has sent the following message to Admiral Henry T. Mayo. commander of the United States Atlantic fleet:
 The grand fleet rejoices that the Atlantic fleet will now share in pre- serving the liberties of the world and maintaining the chivalry of the sea" Admiral Mayo replied:
 "The United States Atlantic fleet ap- preciates the message from the British fleet and welcomes opportunities for work with the British fleet for the freedom of tho seas"

 "Yes." replied the American com

 The equipment on board tho de- stroyers was found to be in excellent condition and remarkably we'll suited to the requirements on this side of the ocean. Tn fact. it was said by the Brit ish officer that the only thing lacking in the equipment of the American sailors was heavier clothing. 1t ap- pears that the Americans are wear- ing clothes too Tight for the varying conditions of weather they will en- counter in these waters. This want was quickly remedied.
 After the formalitiss had ended and the needs of the men were attended to the American ships at once put out to sea, the men, from Captains to ordinary seamen, looking in the pink of condition and apparently enthus- iastic for their task.
