the government to abstain from en-
forcing conscription..
John Dillon, Irish Nationalist lead
er, in the house OF commons yes
terday said he understood that motor
cars, machine guns and tanks al
ready had been shipped and were
sailing away from the battle front
toward Ireland. Mr.. Dillon pleaded
strongly against what he termed the
governments guillotine methods.
The debate on the manpower bill
centered largely around a discussion
Of requests by Mr.. Dillon and others
for more time in which to consider
the measure. The government event.
ually conceded to permit the house
to add two days to the time for the
discussion. The bill then entered
common and an amendment sub
stituting as years for 81 as the age
limit was defeated by vote of 262
to 152.
Calls II Unprecedented.
The Irish convention laid the
foundation for an agreement on the
Irish question which Is unprecedent-
ed in history, Sir Horace Plunkett,
chairman Of the convention says i'm
a letter accompanying the report Of
that body.
we had every reason to. believe
the government contemplated i'm
mediate legislation upon the results
OF our labor" says Sir Horace. "The
work Of an Irish settlement, ID is
now felt admits OF no further post
ponement. IN the dominions and the
United States, as well as the allied
countries. the unsettled Irish dues-
ton is a disturbing factor, both as
regards war effort and peace aims"
After every possibility OF an agree
ment had been explored, Sir Horace
writes. he was instructed 20 draft a
report which would be a narrative
Of the conventions proceedings, with
a statement for the governments in-
formation Of the conclusions adopted
unanimously or By a majority. This
draft OF the report was adopted by a
majority.
The convention did not find It pos
sible to overcome the objections Of
the Ulster Unionists, says Sir
Horace. A majority Of the Nation
alists, all the southern UniOnists and
five OF the seven labor representa-
tives agreed upon a scheme Of Irish
self government which Is given in
the conclusions reached by the ma
jority which, he states should be
enacted into law
Sir Horace adds that the public has
been provided with no majority re-
port in the sense OF a reasoned state
ment 81 faYor of conclusions upon
which the majority agreed, but has
been left TO gather from the nara
tive Of the proceedings what the con-
tsnts Of such a report would have
been. The issue Of minority reports
by the Ulster Unionisfs and a minor
ity of Nationalists has mtnfmi1ed
the agreement reached and emphas-
lied the disagreement.

Spring Work Opens Early.
with the possible exception or
eastern counties the spring eondi-
tion OF work horses is not. quite so
good as usual owing 20 the feed sit
uation. Fortunately, spring work

earlier than usual under ideal wealth
en- conditions with soil in ideal con-
dition for field work, thus removing
the necessity of usual spring rush In
order TO have grain seeded early
sFurtheFmore, the tremendous
or rye sown last fall has
lessened the spring sown acreage
n0ticeabIy. Owing TO the feed short
age in the western part Of the state,
the stubhIed in acreage viii be
larger than usual. IL Is encourag-
ing to note that the number OF brood
sows has not decreased moro than 10
per cent IN spite of high price and
scarcity of feed grain. The sale of
hogs was extremely heavy last fall
but there was a strong tendency TO
reserve brood Bows wherever pos
sible. This was especially true I'm the
eastern and the southern parts OF the
state.
Rye Outlook Good.
winter rye in this state has come
through the winter in nearly an av-
erage condition. Apparently about
twenty per cent of the acreage is in
clined to be slightly thinned out by
weather last fall. Acre
age plowed down will be very small
unless later damage occurs. Most of
the reports range from normal to
fifty per cent. The growth is rather
uneven due to the lack Of spring
rains, but the bulk OF the rye acre
age is in good condition. Nearly all
rye was stubbled in and with few
exceptions rye thus sown, Is better
than that sown on fal plowing or
fallow."

BUILDING MORALE
or JEWISH TROOPS
Work OF jewish Welfare Board Pre-.
dueing Splendid Results In
Camps and Trenches

No more effective work toward
maintaining the highest morale among
the American troops has been done
by any war organization than by the
Jewish Welfare Board, which is en-
gagged in its task Of keeping up the
lines of communication between the
Jewish men in the trenches and
training camps and the folks back
home.
Believing that in the struggle Of
morale against "kultur" the American
army has every advantage that will
insure success, the Jewish organiza-
ton is making its chief issue the
stiffening Of mental and moral fibre
among the soldiers of the Hebrew
faith. The call for workers is urgent
and rabbis. professional men, journal
lists, social workers and others are
entering the service of the Jewish
Welfare Board to make up the 400
workers needed to fill the ranks.
