Il have no official or indeed private
information as to President Wilson's
views regarding Ireland, but all the
same have very strong conviction
that President Wilson has so far as
official decorum would permit and pos
sibly even on some anxiety from the
other side to know his views, used
all his influence to produce a salts
factory settlement of the Irish ques-
ton in the interest of not only Ire
land, but of America and all of the
allies.
However that may be, and of
course, do not pretend to have any
official or private information upon
the matter, Irishmen think it is quite
impossible to separate his appeal for
the rights of small nations from the
case of Ireland"
War Develops Industries.
New Irish industries are being de-
veloped by the war, according to Mr..
|O'Connor, though not as largely as
they might be.
eve had had struggle to get our
share Of munition, shipping and other
work, and even yet we have not got
our fair share, but in England pull,
red tape, narrowness and the un-
happy accident of reactionary Off
cial being in some pivotal place, are
not yet at an end," he said. "Still, a
good deal has been done. A good
deal more, hope, will be done. The
advantage both to Ireland and to Eng
land, assweIf as other countries, will
be that the vast machinery required
for producing munitions and other i'm
plements OF war can be turned to other
and more peaceful and fruitful pur-
poses after the war. The lathe, which
helps to make a shell, can help to
make plow.
Il must not omit to mention among
the many things that promise great
industrial revival in Ireland the gi-
gantic enterprise upon which Henry
Ford has entered in the south of Ire
land. My opinion is that this enter
prise Of Mr.. Ford's will create as big
an industrial revolution in Ireland as
it has in this country.
Effect on Agriculture.
"The war affected the agricultural
industries of Ireland enormously. Do
you realize that while England has
put only 100000 and Scotland $4,000
acres into new tillage, Ireland will
have over 100000 new acres?
"Of course you are well aware that
the price of all agricultural products
has beer raised enormously by the
war, and necessarily Ireland gains by
this.
"A curious by-product of the war
is the settling of one of the most
difficult problems of Irish life. AS you
know, we have in Ireland large tracts
from which, in the old days of famine
and emigration, the people had been
expelled and replaced by cattle and
sheep. The war is now completing the
breaking up of these ranches."

Editor Irish Standard:
Activities are becoming more and
more pronounced at the X. of C. head
quarters at Camp Dodge. Larger
crowds are finding their way to the
services each Sunday morning. Last
Sunday $500 attended the four masses
and 175 received Holy Communion.
A census of the Catholic officers
and men is being taken and soon a
complete record will be had. Cards
are distributed to those attending mass
and the following data is the result:

Visitors, interested in the work, are
loud in their praise of what is being
done for the spiritual and moral well
fare of the boys; also for their social
well-being and entertainment.

London, Oct. 23.-The debate on the
Redmond motion in the House OF
Commons brought out many interest
ing developments, which may have the
effect of illuminating the course OF
Irish progress toward emancipation
and freedom. Among the most impor.
tant of these developments is the spe.
cific reiteration by the premier of the
Governments pledge to enact into leg.

ed by the Irish convention, in response
to request by Mr.. Dillon for assur:
ances on this matter. De Valera's
speeches were bitterly attacked as
cold-blooded indictments to a repeti.
tion of the horrors of Easter week,
and it was charged that he and the
Sim Fein party, of which he is now
the leader, are deliberately working
for the failure of the convention. 1t
was also charged that this party is
still acting in cooperation with the
Germans and receiving monetary as.
sistance from Teutonic sources. The
debate was carried on with excellent
temper on both sides, and will unques-
tionably tend to promote the feeling
of good will that is already manifes-
ing itself in public gatherings in Eng
land and Ireland.
A speeding up of the long protracted
sessions of the Irish convention now
in session at Dublin, .;endeavoring to
arrange a form of home rule, was ex.
pected today following yesterdays
sharp debate on the Irish problem.
Premier Lloyd George revealed the
governments knowledge of formidable
and widespread Sim Fein plots in
which certain Sim Fein leaders were
aided and abetted by Germans.
Most positive of all Premier Lloyd
Georges statements was that declar-
ing that England would never permit
any plan for the sovereign independ-
ence OF Ireland-a secession move
ment which, he said, was inspired by
the Sim Feiners.
In the course of his speech Premier
Lloyd George declared the government
was aware that arrangements were
again being made, partly by, Count Won
Bernstorff, to land arms in ireland.
The premier said that the govern.
ment could not possibly forget what
had happened only 18 months ago. I'm

honestly believed they were doing
their best for their country from being

BUILDING TAKES
Big DROP IN MAY
High Cost and Scarcity of
Materials and Labor
Given as Cause

High cost and scarcity of materials
and labor according to building ex-
perts in the city is again response
BILE for the drop in operations during
the month of May, this year.
While the war is partly responsible
it is believed that but for the advanc-
ing cost of materials there would be
an increase in the amount of work
started.
Last month thirty-eight building
permits were Issued for work which
is being done at cost of $103,93O.
In May, 1916, forty-one permits were
issued for construction costing S142,-
S45. The decrease is approximately
30 per cent, ana is not so great as
the drop during April, which was
49 per cent.
From present indications, contrac-
tors estimate that building opera
tions will decrease about % per cent.
in comparison with the amount of
construction work done last year.
The largest permits during May
were issued for Improvements and
alterations to the store of Dives,
Pomeroy & Stewart, which will cost
100000, and for the erection of the
Kesher Israel synagogue at Capital
and Briggs streets, to be built at a
cost of $4,000. Other work which
