HOME RULE IDEA
: WAS REJECTED
BY REDMOND
Not Willing Ulster Should Be
Excluded
is READY TO CONFER
Willing to Accept the Second Alter
native to Hold Convention
on Matter.

London, May 17.-John Redmond
leader of the Irish Nationalists in the
house of commons today rejected the
proposal of Permier Lloyd George for
a settlement OF the home rule ques-
tion, but accepted the proposal for the
immediate calling of a convention to
decide on a government for Ireland.
Mr. Redmond in a letter to Premier
Lloyd George, accepts on behalf of the
Irish party, the proposal for 'aasem-
bling a convention of Irishmen of all
parties for the purpose Of producing
a scheme of Irish selfgovernment," on
condition that the basis on which
the convention is to be called is such
as to ensure that it is fully and fairly
representative of Irishmen of all
creeds, interests and parties, and,
secondly, that the convention be sum
moned without delay"
Mr.. Redmond said Premier Lloyd
Georges proposal for an Irish govern.
ment would in the opinion of the
members of the Irish party find no
support in Ireland Therefore, any
measure based on that proposal would
meet with their vigorous opposition.
But Mr.. Redmond continued, the
second alternative, namely, the as
sembling of a convention OF Irishmen,
has much to recommend 1t. | trust it
may be found possible of realization.
My colleagues and | are prepared to
recommend the proposal most strong
ly to our countrymenp

AsoUlTH DEFIEs HoLLWEG
Britain and Allies Will Never BacI
Down Says EX-Premier.

Londcn, May 16.-iiurling a def at
Chancellor Won Bethman-Hollweg and
declaring there would be no backdown
by Great Britain and her allies in
their original war aims, former Prime
Minister Asquith, in the house of com
mons today stated the war must be
pursued to a successful end
The former premier took up the
governments argument in replying to
a resolution by Philip Snowden, So
cialist member of Blackburn, which
welcomed the declaration of the new
democratic government OF Russia re.
pudiating all proposals for conquest.
1t called for the government to issue
a similar declaration in behalf OF
British democracy.
"It is impossible at the present
stage said Mr. Asquith. ito enter in
to negotiations with Germany. The
war aims of the Entente Allies as
previously announced still hold good
'If the war was to end in an honor
able peace there must be annexation
continuing the emancipation OF the
enthralled population who were labor
ing under despotism and retention OF
strategic positions as safeguards
against future attacks.
The German chancellor's speech
shows those responsible for the Ger
man policy have abandoned the coun-
sells of moderation and reason and
are determined to pursue the wicked
and nefarious course they entered
upon three years ago SO long as that
is the case, we cannot falter or re-
lax by a hairs breadth our determi-
nation to pursue the war to a victor
ious end"
The former premier said when the
Russian government asks England TO
join in a nonaHnexation policy it must
be lin the limited sense of go acquisi-
tion or extension of territory for poll
tical or economical ggrandizement. "

PORTS AND sHERRIES BARRED
Do Not Come Under the Seventh
Class License.

Port and sherry wines have been
added TO the taboo list and may be
handled only unlawfully outside of
the first class licenses in Vermont.
The reason is that every wine of the
fortified nature contains more than
10 per cent. alcohol and the laws of
Vermont require that seventh class
license can handle nothing above that
percentage.
Ii was thought at first that old
wines would get under the line and a
number of dealers throughout the
State purchased big orders of sherry
and port only to ascertain that they

wholesalers from the Office of the
State Commissioner of Taxes who
grants the fourth clas licenses.
While sherry and port can no long
er be handled in bottles, unless sent
in from other states, champagne is
permissible. for it is under the dead
line. The same is also true of rhine,
claret and a number of milder drinks
which are not used for medicine but
for amusement Alcohol cannot be
purchased legally anywhere in the
state, as 5th class licenses weren't ac
cepted by the voters. The hospitals,
colleges, etc. receive their alcohol
