LONDON. May 22-Sir Horace
without Identifying himself with

Press today his opinion that the con-

for the settlement of the Irish prob

the first really hopeful beginning of
tho end of that question.
at has taken many generations to
convince the English people that they
cannot govern Ireland" said Sir Hor-
ace, but only few months TO learn
that they cannot form system OF
self government for that country. Now
that these lessons have been learned

weeks or even days for lrishmen TO
realize the great opportunity which
has fallen to them or the response

can guage the spirit underlying the
somewhat confused state of Irish thot
caused by Kaleidoscope changes in
British policy, the convention will be
accepted as the first really hopeful
beginning of the end of the Irish
question. There will be an over
whelming desire to make it succeed.
1T must, however, be remembered
that the more earnest the desire the

MEXICANS NOT AFTER WAR
General Obrcgon Tells Why Republic
10 the South Wants Peace.

MENICO CITY, Monday. May 21.--
Gen. AiNaro Obrcgon, who recently re-
signed as minister of war, today eX-
pl1ined the reasons which prompt
Mexico to endeavor to observe strict
neutrality. General Obregon said
MeXicos self respect called for this
policy. Even if Mexico joined the
war, he said, she could give no cffcc-
tive aid. She could furnish neither
ships supplies nor money. Under
such conditions Mexico could not.
with self respect, enter the war unless
forced to do so and certainly not
merely for the sake Of gain.
After visiting his home in Sonora
General Obregon will go to Washing

Quoted with impressive solemnity.
The telegram which was dispatched
to President Wilson reads:
I'VE pledge you our support in
holding the American people to the
high idealism with which we entered
this war and in keeping our hearts
from hate and the spirit of revenge.
Praise Moral Steps.
1--WE are heartily grateful for the
action already taken by the national
government in creating a zone around
the training camps from which the
saloon and other incentives to i'm
morality are excluded
Convinced that war, in itself. as
a method of settling international dis
putes is irrational, inhuman and un-
Christian and tE/t it must finally be
abolished by the spiritual force of
international good will, we appeal to
you that you use your great office
to secure an early peace and that
when the time comes to end the war
in harmony with the principles you
have already laid down, you help to
secure such terms of peace as shall
prepare the way for an organization
of the world that will make war i'm
possible forever"

During lull in the battle Of the
Marne one Of the Canadian troopers
took of his steel helmet. and, placing
1t on the end Of his rifle, held it so
that about half of 1t protruded above
the top Of the trench. A German
sniper, observing 1t, at once shot ut it,
and the ball. striking 1t squarely,
pierced the steel, going out the other
side. The Tommy" laughIngly showed
1t to his comrades and placed 1t back
on his head.
Fifteen minutes later the order came
to ''go over the top" and this same
Tommy was among the first. He was
also among the first to fall, mortally
wounded.
