is expressed by several of the editorial

This satisfaction is accompanied by the
earnest hope that the opportunity will be

before the Ulster council the council also
will recommend its acceptance.

HOME RULE Plan HAILED

DUBLIN, May 22.-The proposed con-
vention for settlement of the Irish
home rule question is warmly well
coined by almost all sections of the
nationalists Mr.. Redmonds speech
yesterday in the house of commons ac-
curately represents the views of his
supporters in the Irish party. The con-
stitutional nationalists, 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.
Count Plunkett and other extremists
repudiate the convention as trap. but
there is reason to believe that the Sim
Fein leaders now in Jail disapprove of
their conduct of the movement. so that
they do not represent the real body of
extremists.

dispatch of Gen. Pershing with a division
of American troops to France, giving the
news a prominent place in their columns
under appreciative headlines. The Daily

washington is not taking a narrow
view of the service Americans can render

American people are rallying round the
President in a manner and to an extent
which is full of hope for the future OF

rulers, putting the matter on the lowest

To Meet listers Fears.

If Ulster enters the convention,
which is considered in well 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, political
and otherwise. is favorably considered.
There will be plenty of men from all
sides available to form really valua-

which have never SO far been definitely

which have never SO far been definitely
formulated.
The real crux 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:
they declare themselves quite contented
with government from Westminster.
But Sir John Lonsda1e's speech in the
house of commons is regarded In ma
tionalist circles as being more hopeful.
and it is contended that IL northeast
Ulster rejects the convention. the gov
eminent can hardly allow 1t to hold up
all settlement.
Some settlement is imperative from
the fact that the home rule act is
on the statute book and must come
into operation before the end OF the
war, as was provided in suspending
the statute act. Although 1t may be
altered, 1t could not be repealed by
any government

AN IRISH LEGEND.

An Irish legend has it that a
good fairy once visited an old cou-
pie and promised them that any
three wishes they would make
would be granted. After racking
their brains for some time in an
endeavor to discover what they
desired most, the couple decided
to visit the country fair to see If
something there would suggest
what they wanted. They did SO.
and after rambling around all
day, not seeing anything that
exactly suited them, toward even
ing they found themselves before
a display of kitchen utensils.
Among them was a soup ladle,
cheap, but likely to appeal to a
woman; so the old woman, in an
absent moment, said: "Oh, wish
| had one of those, and immedi-
ately she had it. The old man
was so enraged because the wife
had thoughtlessly thrown away
one valuable wish that he retort-
ed, Il wish that was stuck down
your throat" and Immediately
this was done. Thereupon he
was at once sorry at what he
wished, and the only thing left to
do was to wish the ladle out
again, 50 all three wishes went
for naught.

EXTENDING USE

NJ. c. 4 St. |. Railway Ac.
quires 445 Miles Of Lins from
Western Union.

Thru the acquisition by pur-
chase of 445 additional miles of
pole and wire lines from the West
ern Unian. the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga & st. Louis Railway will
within short time. be enabled to
operate trains on approximately
two-thirds of its system under
telephone control.
The company now operates it's
trains by telephone from Nash
vile to Chattanooga, 8 distance
of Isl miles; and also from Nash
vile to Hickman, KY, a distance
of III miles. These lines were
| built by the company, the Nash
ville-Ilickman line only recently
being completed. 1t is the inten-
tion Of the company to gradually
convert its lines now used in tele-
graph service to telephone lines,
and with the lines recently pur-
chased from the Western Union
the road will have nearly 800 miles
of its l, 236 miles of roadway I'M
der telephone control. !
The new lines purchased will
enable the road to operate trains
by telephone between the follow
ing points: From Paducah to
Paris, from Lexington to Perry
vile. from Colesburg to Aliens
Greek, from Nashville to Lebanon,
from Tullahoma to. Ravenscroft
and Clifty, from Harvest, Ala.
thru Fayetteville to Flora, from
Hobbs Island to Flora, from
Guntersville to Gadsden, from
Tracy City to Cowan and from
Bridgeport TO Urine. From Paris
the road expects to extend its
line to Hollow Rock junction to
connect with its line from Nash
vile, and will also extend it's line
from Flora to Decherd and put in
additional lines from Tullahoma
to Decherd.
The use of the telephone in
train dispatching has grown in re-
cent years and the extension of
this system by the NJ, G. & st.

progressive policy of the manage
ment.
