Situation Is Delicate.

The resignation Of the moderate
delegates to the conference would be
regarded as a tremendous victory
for the Sim Fein and Sim Feiners
may do all in their power to en-
barrass their nationalist opponents.
This is the reason the situation in
which John Dillon and Joseph Dew
lin find themselves is one of the most
delicate in the history of Irish poll
tics.
Unionist critics. alive to the situa-
tion, are doing their utmost to make
capital for themselves by pointing
out moral to the Irish. The Irish
Times. referring editorially to the
decision of the conference to use
the fund for aiding the dependents
"of men whose activities are gravely
incompatible with the safety of the
nation" asks if Dillon and Devlin
were to sit silent while the confer
ence resolved away Ireland's honor"
and asks if the bishops have nothing
to say about the use of the fund.

MILLION RAISED
TO FIGHT DRAFT
Irish Fund May Prove EN-
barrassing to Leaders Of
Nationalist Faction.
MORE SINN FEIN ARRESTS

DUBLIN. May 24.-The antt-con-
scription fund, which in less than a
month has grown to nearly $1,ooo,Ooo.
bids fair to become one Of the most
important factors in the development Of
the internal political situation. 1t Is
the largest fund ever raised in ireland
for a political purpose. and being In
control Of the Mansion House confer
ence that body finds itself in posi-
tion of greater financial power than
any political organization in Ireland
today
Thus the conference. unless managed
scrupulously, would be able to 1nfiu-
ence tremendously the action OF any
nationalist political organization. This
opens many dangerous possibilities to
which the moderate leaders in Dublin
have devoted anxious attention re-
Gently.
Many subscribers are moderate Irish
men and women. who. while objecting
to the forcible application of conscrip-
ton, are firm supporters of the war
and equally firm opponents of Sim
Fein and everything for which 1t
stands. But should the representatives
of this moderate opinion attempt to
restrain their extremist colleagues it Is
evident a situation might arise where
the resignation of the moderate would
be inevitable. Serious problems re-
garding control of the fund then might
be presented.

Roseburg defeated Ashland last
Saturday night by score of 81 to
21, The game was hard fought
throughout, but the superior team
work of the visitors and the inability
of the home boys to shoot" accounts
for the high resultant score in Rose
burgs favor.
Roseburg has three of last years

year in basketball alone, while Ash

account of McWilliams' bum knee
and the bad colds Fraser and Clary
were suffering from.

and S. T. Hollowell timekeeper.
