liquidation. Low prices We're current
midway in the second hour of the aft

LONDON. April l5.--Lord mcdonnell.
who was Under Secretary for Ireland
from 1902 to 1908. during which period
he prepared a scheme Of Irish devoIu-
ton which resulted in the fall OF tho
Conservative chief secretary. George
Wyndham. contributes ar article to the
Sunday Times In which he insists that
the government must act to solve the
Irish problem. Even though public
opinion in Great Britain emphatically
farors an amicable settlement. and
though the excellent feeling prevail
ing among Irish soldiers Of all classes
and crccds at tho front leads to the
same conclusion. yet. he says. the qucs-
ton. So far as tho contcndinG politicians
are concerned. is pretty much in the
same state when the buckingham
Palace conference was broken up.
'Sir Edward Carson and his friends"
Gays Lord Mcdonnell. maintain tho

they took up before the war. still In

After denounctng the attitude OF tho
War Office on recruiting in Ireland at

ing the events OF the rebellion. Lord
MacDonnell declares that unless the
epN ciliitH WISHES InlnSS 10 go from

courses. either giving Ulster the OPP
ton of joining in the Irish Parlia-
ment from the outset or. preferably,
bringing all the Irish counties imme.
diately under the Jurisdiction OF an

unionists special representation for a
| fixed term of years which would pro-
tect them from acts OF legislative op-
preston that they profess to fear.
The Sunday Times. which is Con-

The adhesion OF the United States

more than ever essential to remove the
