Rejects John DiIIon's Motion to
Refer Irish Question to
President Wilson.
VOTE IS 245 TO 1O6
House Receives Suggestion in Favor
able Mood, but Mr.. Asquith Argues
That American President Is Too
Busy to Undertake Task.

London, July 31.-In the House of
Commons the debate on the Irish
question terminated in the defeat of
the Irish. adherents.
The motion of John Dillon, the Ma
tionalist leader, condemning the gov
ernment's Irish policy was rejected by
vote of 245 to 100.
Mr.. Dillon proposed that the ques-
tion of Ireland be referred to Presi-
dent Wilson. This suggestion was
well received by the House, but as
former Premier Asquith pointed out,
1t could not be expected the President
of the United States could undertake
such an arduous task now and the
matter was obviously one the British
people would have to settle.
Asquith Appeals for Decision.
The Irish question was one of over
whelming Importance, Mr.. Asquith de-
clared and he made a strong appeal
to the government to make another eff
fort, even at the eleventh hour, to set
tie it
Regarding the suggestion made by
Mr.. Dillon that the Irish question be
referred to President Wilson, Mr.. AS.
quith said:
HE would be very bold man who
would expect Mr.. Wilson to undertake
task which has baffled so many pi.
oneers in the past. If it cou.- 0t be
referred to members of our own cam
lily it does not seem that a question
of that kind could be well submitted
to the arbitrament of a foreign coun-
try, however friendly"
Wilson's Principles Basis.
Introducing his resolution. which ex.
presses the view that the true solu-
tion of the Irish question is to put into
operation without delay in regard to
Ireland the principles laid down by
President Wilson.
Mr.. Dillon admitted that the Ma.
tionalist party was in difficulty, but
he added, "we are because we have
struggled to save the constitutional
honor and bring Ireland into the war
while the government has done every,
thing in its power TO drive her out oi
the war"
The Nationalist leader declared the
question of Ireland was a war question
and that was why he brought it up at
the present time. How could Great
Britain, he asked, put before the world
as one of her objects of the war the
freeing of small nationalities when
there was Ireland lying at her back
door under the unhappy tyranny oi
military government?

Food Director Releases House
wives From Pledges.
Buyers of Flour Are. Still Required to
Purchase an Equal Amount
of Substitutes.

Washington, July 31.-The food ad-
ministration has taken another step
toward partial resumption by the ma
ton of its old habit of eating by re-
leasing housewives from voluntary
pledges to curtail the consumption of
wheat.
This follows closely the release of
hotels, restaurants, clubs and dining
car service from their pledge, effec-
tive Aug. l.
No change has been made, the food
administration announced, in the half
and half rule, and purchasers of wheat
-four will be required to continue the
purchase of an equal weight of wheat
substitutes.
Bakers still are required to make
Victory" bread, containing at least
% per cent wheat substitutes. Ar
rival of the new wheat crop has made
ii possible for the release of volun-
tary wheat saving pledges, the admin.
istration said.
Allied Food Council Formed.
London, July 30.-The conference In
London between the food controllers
of the United Kingdom, United States,
France and Italy is continuing its la.
bors. The establishment of an inter.

fact.

RESISTANCE IS STRONG

French Reported Elected From

London, July 31.-American troops
In the Scissons-Rheims sector have
been fighting virtually without cessa

"a hours. The German defense had
stiffened and the Americans had made
very little fresh progress up to noon.

counterattacking.
London, July 31.-The Germans
have thrown nearly a million men into
the gigantic battle between Scissors
and Rheims and have been viciously
counterattacking all around the circu'
lar line that stretches from Scissors
to the neighborhood of Rheims.
Even this formidable force, however
appears to have made not more than
a dent or T. n the Allied front in
its latest effor.. lille at various points
progress for the Allies, slight, but i'm.
portant, is reported
Nearly Million Men Used.
Unofficial advices state that there
are II Teuton divisions engaged in
this struggle. The strength of a Ger.
man division is about 1880 on a nor.
NAL footing, so that If all the units
resisting the Allies north of the
Marne have been kept up to standard
there are 95S,500 men trying to. hold
the line until the situation is relieved
or these divisions there are 10 drawn
from Crown Prince Rupprecht's army
In the north.
The German crown prince had in
the neighborhood of 100000 men be
tween Rheims and Chateau Thierry
when the attack across the Marne be
gan on July Is. The increase in the
number of divisions engaged in the
battle would appear to indicate that
he had since drawn heavily on other
army groups. Il would also seem that
this action on his part reflects the i'm
portance of this battle in the eyes OF
the German high command.
Yankees Lose Town.
Through the German counterblow
the Americans were driven back from
Cierges southeast of Fere en- Tarde
nois, while to the northwest of Fere
the French have also been forced out
OF Beugneux, into which they had pene
trated after passing through Grand
Rozoy.

ConstantinopIe and Berlin Are
Said to Have Severed
All Relations.
CREATES NO SURPRISE
Washington Officials Declare That Dl.
vision of Spois From Enforced
Treaty With Roumania Prob
ably Caused Rupture.

London July 30.-"According to di-
rect information from Constantinople,
the relations between Germany and
Turkey have been severed"
This announcement is made by the
Copenhagen correspondent of the Ex-
change Telegraph company.
The excitement against Germany,
the advices further say, has been
growing, particularly after last weeks
events.
The Germans recently demanded
the cruiser Hamidieh, the only large
ship then in possession of Turkey, as
compensation for the Breslau, the
former German cruiser which was de-
stroyed in the Dardanelles while un-
der the Turkish flag. Despite Tur-
keys protest the Hamidieh has de-
parted for Sebastopol with the Ger
man flag flying.
Washington, July 31.-While no Off
cial notice of the breach of relations
between Turkey and Germany--or
rather the Teuton powers, for without
many in the dispute with the Ottoman
government-has reached Washington,
officials expressed little surprise at
the dispatch saying Germany and Tur-
key had severed relations. In off,
cial circles here it has been realized
that in her efforts to serve Turkey and
Bulgaria in the division of spoils re-
sulting from the enforced treaty with
Roumania, Germany had incurred the
ill-will of both her allies.
Following the conclusion of the
peace treaty with Roumania at Jassy,
both Turkey and Bulgaria laid claim
to much of the territory Roumania
had been forced to cede to her ene-
mics. Included in these claims was
title to the railway running from
Adrianople to Deadeagatch and this
became the source of the greatest con-
tention between the two allied ma
tions.
Germany Accused of Favoritism.
Germany for some time endeavored
to induce the two countries to settle
this dispute amicably by suggesting
the nation which failed to obtain the
railway should receive other compen-
sation.
Belief in Turkey that favoritism was
being shown Bulgaria by Germany in
the negotiations, according to recent
dispatches received here, caused a
rapid growth of anti-German feeling
In Constantinople. A shortage of food,

Turkey Weary Of War.
That Turkey has become more and
more weary OF the war was indicated
in the failure of the latest Turkish

patches only $6O,00O,OOO was obtained
out of $3.50, 100000 sought.
