BOTH IRISH FACTIONS
HECKLE LLOYD GEORGE
Premier Seeks to Show That JUS
tice Is Desired.

London, April l6.-By a majority
of 1913, the house of commons to-
night adopted the third reading of
the government man-power bill
after an exciting debate, originated
by John Dillon, Nationalist leader.
Mr.. Dillon again strongly attack
ed the governments policy and
moved omission of the clause apply
ing conscription to Ireland.
The Nationalist members again
showed themselves independently
opposed to conscription, while Sir
Edward Carson, the Ulster leader,
also made warm attack on the
governments methods.
In discussing the man-power bill,
Premier Lloyd George asked wheth-
er conscription in Ireland was to be
the government only answer to the
report of the most remarkable con-
vention ever held in Ireland. Such
an answer would be regarded as un-
satisfactory, not only in Ireland, but
in England, he said. If there was
trouble in Ireland arising from re-
fuSal to legislate after the Irish con-
vention, and only conscription was
offered, any resistance in Ireland
would meet with sympathy in Eng
land, which would paralyze the ef-
forts to enforce conscription III
Ireland.
The premier referred especially to
the attitude of the labor party, add
ing:
Must Consider America.
"It is useless to put this bill on
the statute books unless we intend
to enforce it; and it is useless to
try to enforce it unless behind the
government there is feeling that

Washington, April 1.-THE rail

pleted its recommendations for wage
increases for railroad employees, and
report will be submitted to Direc-
tor General McAdoo upon his re-

tour in the west.
Nothing was made known as to
the amount of the increases to be

that employees now receiving small

About 100000 gallons are now being
pumped daily and MIR. Cromwell said
it would take weeks of rain to fill
the lake so that the city might have
what it really needs for the summer,
The watershed is insufficient in eN-
tent to furnish the amount of water
demanded by the growing city.
1t has been shown before the ci;y
commission that on the proposed
watershed at Henry House creek
l II inches of rainfall will produce
as much water as will 20 to p inches
fall on the present shed which is
limited to about three square miles.
Superintendent Cromwell stated
that people should not be lulled, by
a good rainfall, into the belief that
it is giving the city an abundant
water supply. A visit to the lake
would surprise people who have not
been there recently.

HOME RULE BILL
HURRIED ALONG
TO APPEASE IRISH
IN THE MEANTIME PEOPLE
OF ERIN PREPARE TO
FIGHT CONSCRIPTION.
CONDITION is COMPLEX
House of Commons Favors Measure
But Opposition Is Expected as
Usual from House of Lords, Old
Enemies of Ireland.

London, April H.-While nation
alist Ireland is making plans for re
sistance to the enforcement OF con
scription in their country, the rest
OF the United Kingdom is more in
terested in the home rule bill which
George Nicoll Barnes, labor member
of the war cabinet, without port
folio, announced in the commons
yesterday the government would
introduce and pass or fall in the
attempt.
A committee consisting of such
former anti-home rulers as Walter
Hume Long, J. Austen Chamber
lain, A. w. Samuels, solicitor gen
eral for Ireland, with Mr.. Barnes,
who has been engaged in drafting
the bill, had a second meeting yes
terday and reported it had made
rapid progress.
The home rule bill, it is under
stood, will take the form of meas
ure amending the government of
Ireland as it was passed just before
the outbreak of the European war,
the operation of which was sus-
pended for the duration OF the war.
Federal Measure Desired.
Public opinion favors federal
measure which could be made ap-
plicable to Scotland, Wales and Eng
land. Several motions suggesting
the introduction of federal system
already have appeared in the house
of commons, while large majority
of those unionists who have become
converts to home rule also favor
that system.
Never, on the surface at any rate,
has Ireland had such a good chance
OF getting a form of self-goyern-
ment.
Old Lords May Abstract.
With the liberals, laborites, ma
tionalists and large part Of the
unionists supporting the bill, it
should have an easy passage in the
house Of commons. What the house
OF lords, those old enemies OF home
rule, will do, is uncertain, but with
two former anti-home rulers, Earl
Curzon and Niscount Miner, as
members of the government sup
porting it, the opposition is likely
to be less strenuous than on former
occasions when the commons sent
such a measure to the upper house.
The Irish nationalist members of
parliament, having fought conscrip-
tion to the last in the house of COM
mons, are leaving for Dublin to for
mulate plans for resisting it.

The statement follows:
Yesterday we delivered a severe
counter attack in the neighborhood
of Wytschaete. At Metren, also
our counter attack restored the sit
uation and the village remains in
our hands.

evening yesterday, repeated hostile
attacks north of Bailleul were re-
pulsed with loss to the enemy. Bod
les Of German infantry advancing in
close formation were caught under
the fire of our troops at short range
and suffered heavy casualties.
I'VE secured few prisoners.
The enemy also endeavored to
develop an attack yesterday after
noon east of Robecq, following the
bombardment already reported, but
his advance was broken up by our
artillery fire.

made by the enemy on the Lys
front, our troops holding our for
ward positions east of YpreS have
