Dublin, May A.-The proposed conven-
ton is warmly welcomed by almost all
sections of the Nationalists. Mr.. Red
mond's speech accurately represents the
views Of his supporters in the Irish par
ty. The Constitutional Nationalist are
equally in favor Of the convention.
Count ,Plunkett and other extremists
repudiate the convention as trap, but
there is reason to believe the Sim Fem
leaders now in Jail disapproye Of their
conduct so that they do not represent the
real body OF extremists The southern
Unionists express delight at the conven-
ton.
The real ,rux of the situation is to be
found in northeast Ulster. The Orange
newspapers there have been extremely
hostile to the idea of any convention to
shape a constitution for Ireland.

FRENCH GOVERNMENT
TAKES RADICAL STEP

PARIS, France. The government
has assumed control of all commercial
contracts to assure the maximum i'm.
portation and expectation Of goods
and henceforth 1t will be necessary for
shippers to apply to the secretary OF
the merchant marine for authorization
to charter vessels. This will make it
impossible to negotiate commercial
contracts without government permits
sion.
The obstacles 10, navigation are
causing importations, particularly of
coal, to decrease. II Is becoming diff
ficult to insure neutral vessels, which
are seeking less dangerous waters.
The use of neStral ships is being en-
ccuraged. London is planning to es-
tablish a central clearing house for
neutral shipping. Ships will be ap-
portioned and official freight rates
will be filed. Conveys will be pro-
vided for merchant vessels.

KING OF BELGIUM
USES CLEMENCY
n Associated Prsssl

THE HAGUE, Notwithstanding
Albert. as commander-in-chief of the
Belgian army, has recently exercised
clemency toward $50 military prison
ers incarcerated in Fresnes. After
the experiences of his army at Liege.
Namur and Antwerp. the king was
obliged to introduce an iron discipline
in order to maintain a high morale
among the troops. The slightest Of
tense was punished with the greatest
severity. Men who in ordinary cir
cumstances would have received a
light penalty, during the days of the
battle Of the User were condemned to
five or six years penal servitude. To
day, with the army again strongly or.
gained and permeating with a high
spirit, clemency can be exercised
without danger, and groups of the con-
aemned are set at liberty from time
to time. -..>

their new equipment with a cry of
Long Live the King!" and sub

IRISH BRIGADE
NOBLY UPHOLDS
BRAVERY RECORD
Calamity in Field Has Gained
Five Hundred Honors in
Years Fighting

LONDON. Eng. - The traditional
bravery OF the Irish brigade is still
upheld. This organization, which has
come down through the years of his
tory as one of the finest fighting
units in the world, is Just as active to-
day as in olden times when In many
instances it turned defeat into victory
by terrific attacks. l..
A correspondent writing from Brit
ish field headquarters in France in
telling of the activities OF the men
from the Isle of Erin, says:
The Irish brigade has a new song;
II is a song that has the inspiring
melody that makes men fight. II was
written by a private in one Of the
Irish regiments and goes something
like this:
Sure the kaiser they says at the
height of his fame,
And he boasts that he's getting the
best o. the game.
Don't be talkin',' cries Haig, I've q
trump to be played,
And the trump in my hand is the
Irish brigade
correspondent, Il saw the Irish bril-
gade marching back from the battle
lines after their capture Of Ginchy.
Now they are holding quieter part
of the line and fairly itching to be
turned loose again for further con.
quest.
Drafts are trickling out to them
from Ireland to fill up the gaps In the
ranks made by their losses in the
Somme battles, for which poor Ireland
is still mourning, while the men In the
Irish brigades remember, but keep
their hearts up and send brave words
to the girls at home.
There's many q colleen with tears
In her eyes; !,
From Killarney to Dublin no cheek
will be dry;
But we're not after Boosting what
conquest we've made,
For what girl can resist us-the Irish
Brigade?
Now we've been to To Somme, and
it's time we were, too.
Twas the diyirs own job we had to
pull through;
There's many a black, bitter debt
that's been paid,
And the interest has come from the
Irish Brigade.
They have a general. one OF their
own blood, who is proud Of the tradi-
tions and achievements of the old
Irish regiments under his command,
and he keeps the fire of the Celtic
spirit burning by quick praise of men
who have done well and generous
recognition of good services.
Besides the rewards and decora-
lions given to the officers and men
In the usual way-and in a year the
Irish division has gained 500 honors-
he has instituted an honors book, in
which he records the names Of all
men recommended not only for single
acts Of gallabtry in the field, but for
steady and enduring service.
in one year $50 names have been
put down in that book. and each Off
Ger or man so honored receives a
parchment certificate mentioning his
Gallant conduct and devotion to duty
IN the field. and ordering his name
and deed to be entered in the regf-
mental records"

A small army of women of the poor

fed for Mrs. Sanger, saying they had
been advised free of charge.
Against this a woman detective pro
