Report That Chief Secretary Duke
Has Resigned.

L-oNpoN, Feb. 27.--Despatches from
correspondents differ as to the serious
ness of the situation in Ireland. The
official announcement that troops have
been sent to County Clare is the sub
ject OF intense interest on all sides
Some correspondents assert that un-
rest is deepening in the west and south
Of Ireland and that the situation is
getting beyond control. ON the other
hand the Daily Neus, whose Dublin COR
respondent the other day represented
the situation in the west and south as
alarming. prints to-day a despatch from
Limerick that there is no cause for
alarm. IT adds that arrangements have
been made to cope with any trouble
and that reports of disorder are ex-
aggerated.
The position OF II. +, Duke, Chief
Secretary for Ire!and, is the subject of
many rumors. The Dublin correspond

LONDON. Feb. 21.---The censorship has
been drawn very close in japan. but the
expectation in japanese circles In Lon
don is that the island empire is on the
eve OF decisive action. notably in the
direction of Vladivostok and Harbin.
Japan's proposal to tho Entente
Powers and to the United States with
regard to n cooperative campaign In
the eastern part OF Siberia possibly
presages one of the most important de-
velopments Of the war. The nature of
these proposals remains secret, but
there seems little reason to doubt that
the island empire is prepared to assist
the Allies In a more material way than
heretofore as well as to prevent "A
situation which might place her in a
critical situation in the event of u
victorious Germany.
Cannot Remain Inactive.
Niscount Motono's statement that Ia
pan Is prepared to take the most de-
cided action IL Russia concluded peace
with Germany was made after a fun
exchange of views between Nipponese
statesmen and those of the allied Gov
ernments on the situation created by
the collapse of Russia and the advance
of German forces into the interior of
that country. These developments
opened UP possibilities in which Japan's
place in the alliance may assume vastly
increased Importance.
Japan cannot and will not remain
inactive while the balance of power in
eastern Asia is threatened, as would
ba ho 4.
and 1ianchuria. Then there are the
vast supplies along the Siberian rail
road and the tremendous depotS at
Nladivostok to be considered Such a
Teuton triumph would more than offset
the comparatively trivial triumph of the
Oriental forces at Tsins-Tau.
Soon to Reach PetroErad.
Japan's pressing interests have die
tated the necessity for timely and reso-
lutte action. The japanese Amhassa dor
has had several recent conferences with
Mr. Balfour al the Foreign Office. In
the absence of any serious opposition
ne was Informed that there was every
reason to believe that the German ad-
vance upon Petrograd soon would begin
and that the capital in n few days would
he IN the hands Of the German army.
In these circumstances Germany soon
may have complete control over Russia 8
communications, including the Trans
siberian Railway. That would mean
access 10 the Far East and fresh in
trigues in Manchuria and China.
II is not Impossible that the presence
Of German submarines in the pacific
soon might follow. Any direct Cnmnu-
nicat;on between Berlin and Niad!vostok
would threaten what Japan regards as
her sphere uf influence. would endauger
the position OF every Power with estab-
i.shed rights In the Far East and might
have other most grate results.

prcmacy Of the great national parties Of
Great Britain.
The conference. which was called by
the Labor party to consider the draft Of
tho new constitution. voted overwhelm-
ingly for a change in the makeup Of

stitution. even II not trade unionists.
Further provision il made Tor setting
up local Labor parties in every con-
stitiency. These will have special sec

These local societies have been
ganzations which have chosen their
candidates for municipal or parliament
tary contests Their membership CON
sisted of delegates from trade unions
and Socialists. and in some cases from
cooperative societies. but only in a few
cases have they opened their ranks TO
Individual members
The local Labor parties will be allotted
five of twenty-thrce places on the .X-
ecutive board. but their candidates for
office will have to come before the an
nual conference for election.
Yesterdays conference agreed upon
an amendment to the new constitution
permitting candidates to describe them
selves as Labor and Socialist. Under the
old rule the candidates had to appear
as Labor candidates only. The main
objections to the new constitution were
relative to finance. but the conference
voted strongly for a ilat rate for all
affiliated members.
Will Fight for All Onices.
During the discussion the question OF
party funds cropped up. One delegate

parties had been governed by the money

prations of la Dor. One delegate said:
The future of the world rests entirely
upon labor. We are striking for the sal
walton of mankind. Every ounce OF our
energy should be devoted to fighting for

burial boards. Let US get big enough To
do something great
II was decided that the executive COM
mittee and the Parliamentary Labor
