ULSTER LEADER
FOR HOME rule
Lord Chancellor of Ireland
Announces Change of
Attitude
MAY FORECAST
EARLY ACTION

LONDON. Aug. 2O.-Sir James Camp
bell, Lord Chancellor Of ireland, has
made declaration that he Is in favor
OF "self-g0vernment for a united Ire
land" This assertion was made by
him at luncheon at Dublin on Sat
urday.
When Sir James was appointed Lord
Chancellor In succession to Sir Ignat-
ius John O'Brien last June, 10 was be-
lieyed the action Of the government
meant a complete reversal Of It's Irish
policy. His speech, however, proves
that he is convert to home rule, sc-
ording TO Liberal commentators. Sir
,mes is quoted as follows:
From the day the war broke out
determined, regardless OF my COM
mitments in the past and the views OF
my old political colleagues, that
should endeavor 10 the best Of my
ability 10 bring about a solution, by
consent, Of the Irish problem on the
only lines which II seemed 10 me held
any promise Of success mean self
government for a united Ireland"
Sir James Campbell has long been
one Of the staunchest supporters OF
Sir Edward Carson in opposition TO
home rule. He has represented Trinity
College In the House Of Commons since
1902.
Chief Secretary for Ireland Shortt
announced in the House OF Commons
last week that the government Is pre-
pairing a new home rule bill, which is
expected to meet the conflicting aims
OF both parties in Ireland.
The announcement Of Sir James
Campbell's change Of view may indi-
cate that the government Is deter
mined TO force through a home-rule
bill for all Ireland in spite Of the op-
position Of the Ulster men.

According to the latest plans, the

A rich man who has worn out his

a clothing voucher and buys new suit.

gins TO give way in every seam? Per-
haps from s. 20 81 has been allowed
him for the connscated articles, but a
new suit costs twenty times more than

RAT DETERMINATION TO
Be UNDERTAKEN HERE

When ], l.. Nichols, enemy of the
hocse rat, tells Memphis people.
through the city health department,
that rats in the United States consume
foodstuffs valued at S200, 600, 900 an
nually, DIR, Neumon Taylor, superin-
tendent OF the health department, be-
lieves householders In both city and
country win respond and make rat
killing week a success.
The federal government has inter-
ested Itself In determination of rodents
and has sent Mr., Nichols to take up
this subject with the city health au-
thorlties.
Besides being destroyers Of foodstuffs,
rodents nre known to be carriers of
germ diseases, as evidenced by the fact
that they brought bubonic plague to
New Orleans on boats arriving from the
Orient.
Starvation is one Of the best methods
Of getting rid Of rats. TO starve them
premises must be kept free from
garbage and refuse, while wholesome
foodstuffs must be protected securely
Poisoning Is another successful meth
cd and becomes readily practical when
all harmless foodstuffs have been re-
moved. Barium carbonate IL said to
be the best poison. This chemical Is a
white powder and can be procured at
any drug store. In proper dosage ii Is
