said further. had been drawn upon
to a considerable extent TO make up
for wastage. If the battle continued
on the same scale the drain on man
power must cause anxiety.
When an emergency had arisen
which made 1t necessary to put men
OF fifty and boys of eighteen into the
fight for liberty, Lloyd George de-
clsred, It was not possible TO exclude
ireland from conscription by a par
lament in which Ireland was repre-
sented and which had committed the
country TO the war without a dissent
ing voice.
The character Of the quarrel in
which the country was engaged, the
premier said.. was as much Irish as
English.
When Mr.. Lloyd George referred to
Ireland, Alfred Byrne, Nationalist
member from Dublin, shouted:
I've won't have conscription in Ire

The premier said he hoped to get
the bill through all its stages this
week, as II was, a matter OF urgency.
He was interrupted by an Irish mem
ber, who shouted:
You will have to get us out OF the
house first"
Resuming, Bfr. Lloyd George said:

While Premier Lloyd George was

LONDON. April 1O.-The House o
Commons yesterday presented an un
usual scene OF animation tor the frs
day OF session after a prief holiday
the members having returned to towr
early for the purpose of securing
seats or standing room to hear Pre-
| mier Lloyd Georges speech on the

ment's man-power proposals.
The Nationalists were present in
/, force to watch any suggestions OF
making the proposals applicable to
Ireland. The public galleriets also
\ were well filed, and outside a consid-
erabIe crowd gathered.
Premier Lloyd George told the
House that when the battle on the
Somme front commenced the total
cOm5atant strength of the German
army on the west front was approXi-
mAtely equal to the total of the en-
tente allies. He said his man-power
proposal would involve an extreme
sacrifice by part OF the population Of
Great Britain.
Hurricane Not Yet over.
In the course of his speech the Brit
ish premier said:
1--WE have now entered the most
critical period OF the war. There Is
a lull in the storm, but the hurricane

Having gained an initial success.
