Beef 81 a Pound
In Paris When Meat
Is Barred z Days
Rich Buyers Force Prices
Up and Butchers Are
Swamped

Paris, May 2l.-With the Inaugural
ton of the regime Of two meatless days
a week. beef went to 81 pound to-day
and vegetables and fish followed the
upward tendency.
The rush for meat supplies TO carry
over until Wednesday swamped the
butchers, although they had laid in
extra amounts. There was good deal
of crowdng, and some sharp talk was
heard against rich buyers, who paid
any price the dealers asked, sending
the quotations too high for modest
purses.
Pecf on tho hoof at the stockyards
was higher than last week, although
the receipts were larger. Wholesalers
appear to take the view that the new
regulations will not reduce consump-
ton.

showed the government had begun to
find out that the only way to deal with
the Irish difficulty was by conference,
Cancellation and consent.
A clever, tactful address by Joseph
Devin, Nationalist, ended the leaders
speeches in the House. He said that
even if this attempt did not succeed in
pacifying Ireland and bringing her
freedom il would at least be an honest
one.
In presenting the plan to the House
of Lords Earl Curzon said: ut would
be we'll Il on the present occasion no
attempt were made to revive memories
which are charged with painful and
sometimes remorseful associations"
He explained that it was the war
which led the government TO try this
plan, as during the war Ireland had
been a source not OF strength but OF
weakness. Never a month or a week
passed that the spectre of Ireland did
not cross tie governments path. A
settlement would make il easier for
America to throw her full strength into
the struggle. =.
at will be national misfortune"
he declared IN a tone almost solemn,
"if any one Of the Irish parties stands
aloof, and grave responsibility will rest
on those leaders who may elect to abb
stain" ,
Lord Lansdowne remarked: we
have travelled too far on the road to
Home Rule 10 turn back abruptly, and,
having regard for the views Of the
United States on the subject. our duty
is to facilitate the task Of those who
arc our friends in America"

W. AsHINGToN. May 81 The
w American Shipping Board is
not the only organization that has
wasted time in preparing to make up
for the submarines inroads on ship
ping.
The recent debate in the Senate CIV
ing the facts about British contracts
for merchant shipping IN this country
tells the story of British failure TO sp-
preciate the threat TO British nationai
existence which was being got ready IN
Germany. It is life and death strug-
gle which is taking place IN the waters
about Britain. Every British official
knows it-now. Yet only little while
ago Britain was signing contracts for
ships, not to make up for losses by
torpcdoes during the war, not 10 assure
Britain's being fed in spite of German
efforts, but to render certain the con-
tinuance Of British mercantile marine
supremacy after the war.
This bears out what have heard be-
fore about the British Admiralty's atti-
tude regarding the submarine as re-
Gently as last summer. To an agent OF
the Allied governments visiting Lon
don at that time great confidence was
expressed that the war was already
won. Germany had been beaten on the
land. Her morale was gone, it was
said

All Nationalist
Favor Convention;
Ulster Doubtful
Orange Opposition Now Be.
lieved Unable to Hold Up
Settlement of Problem

Dublin, May 2l.--The proposed con-
vention is warmly welcomed By almost
all sections OF the Nationalists. Mr.
Redmond's speech accurately repre-
scnts the views Of his supporters in the
Irish Party. The Constitutional Ma
tionalists. who are now opposed to that
party and who have marked their
temporary dissatisfaction by voting for
Sim Fem candidates, are equally IN
favor Of the convention.
The real crux of the situation is TO
be found in Northeast Ulster. The
Orange newspapers there have been ex-
tremely hostile TO the idea of any con-
vention TO shape a constitution for Ire
land. They declare themselves quite
contented with government from West
minister. But Sir John Lonsdale's
speech in the House Of Commons is re-
garded in Nationalist circles as being
more hopeful. and it is contcnded that
if Northeast Ulster rejects the conven-
ton the government can hardly allow
IL to hold up all settlement. Some set
Element is imperative from the fact
that the Home Rule act is on the statute
book and must come into operation be-
IOTe tne emu VI Tue war, as was Pio-
vided in suspendng the statute act.
Though 1t may be altered, it could not
be repealed by any government.
II Ulster enters the convention,
which is considered in we'll informed
circles as doubtful, it is probable that
terms could be arranged to meet its
fears and thus render continuance
Of irreconcilable opposition untenable.
Promptitude is regarded as essential.
as, it is pointed out, delay would pro-
woke the suspicion that the convention
WAS merely designed to gain time. The
proposal to represent in the constitu-
tional convention all interests, politi-
cal and otherwise. is favorably consid-
cred. There will be ,plenty Of men
from all sides available to form real
ly valuable deliberative body.

u. S. Protests Sharply
To Turkey Against
Massacre of Jews
Relief Funds for Syrians and
Armenians To Be
Distributed

Washington, May 2i.-Thc United
States government has made a vigor-
Gus protest to Turkey against the mas
sacre and deportation OF Jews in Pal
estine, it was learned to-day. Repre-
sensations have been made through the
Swedish Foreign Office. At the reques.
of the American Jewish Committee the
Spanish government, through its min
lister at Constantinople, has also made
protest.
The State Department has received
confirmation of reports of the outrages
from both the American Ambassador
at London and the American Consul
at Alexandra, Egypt.
There was said TO be nothing further
that the United States could do to ar
rest the anti-Semitic movement in
Turkey. The cause has been attributed
to the agitation in favor of the cree
alton of an independent Palestine and
to the successes of the British expcdi-
tionary forces in Palestine.

Slow Delivery.

Anyway, whatever the reason was
instead of giving rush orders for ships
in this country the British government
was placing orders in leisurely man

The Anglo-Saxons After Vision

sible boats, Britain, il it is reasonable
TO judge by these contracts, was not
moved.
When the French commissioners
were here, the Only time they per-
mitted themselves TO say anything that
sounded like impatient criticism OF
their allies was when they called the
long drilling of the British troops far
away from practical contact with mod
ern sighting playing at war" These
British contracts for shipping to be
made here were also playing at war
In the incapacity they show TO realize
and meet n situation quickly they are
form Of the playing at war which
our own shipbuilding for the last two
months has been engaged upon.
These contracts, whose existence WAS
disclosed in the Senate when an APP
preparation to take them over and ex-
pedite them was discussed, were for
more than n million tons of merchant
shipping. There were in addition con-
tracts for a large tonnage for Nor
wegian shippers which very likely was
also for ultimate British use. for the
British have done considerable build
ing through Norwegians.
No Intention Then
of Speeding
Practically thrce-quartcrs OF the
shipping filing American ways and
blocking any other production was OF
this sort. The contracts were Of the
one shift Of eight hours day sort:
There was plainly no intention OF
speeding up. Quite the contrary. And
a very high price was to be paid for the
ships constructed under them-$ls7 a
ton, ms against sl53 ton which is
being quoted for ships to be built for
General Goethals to-day.
Apparently the purpose OF these con-
tracts was to see that American ship
wards should not be used TO threaten
British supremacy on the seas after the
war. Perhaps the British government
thought that if il did not keep American
ways full. ships might be built on them
which after the war would pass into
the hands of Germany. For some such
reason as this she was willing to pay
s1S7 a ton for ships which in time OF
peace she herself could build in her
own wards for $50 or $50 ton.
II would be hard to offer more con-
vincng evidence Of lack Of foresight
regarding the submarine than these
contracts afford.
