HOME RULE WITH
coNscRIPTIoN FOR IRISH
Lloyd.G George Makes Boldest Stroke
of Career In Dealing With Irish
All England Discusses Question

London, April 9.-David Lloyd
George, the British prime minister
today made the boldest stroke of his
career by coupling home rule for
Ireland with the transcription of
Irishmen.
This unexpected disclosure in an
address by the premier in the House
of Commons in presenting the new
CONSUMPTION bill to parliament swept
aside all interest in the details of
the CONSUMPTION scheme which al
ready had been forecast by the
newspapers. .......
Ireland is the only subject talked
of tonight. The only question asked
is how will the Irish parties and
their British sympathizers take to
the new policy.
Everything depends on the nature
of the proposals for self govern
ment for Ireland to be adopted, as
the premier said, "without violent
controversy" the first impression
was skepticism as to whether the
war cabinet could frame a measure
which would stand that test and the
fear that the country might be
plunged again into the old fury Of
the Irish quarrel while fighting for
ist life against enemies outside its
walls. II was because of this fear
that the Asquith government sheIv-
ed the old home rule act and the
nationaliats had blamed that streIv-
ing of the failure of more Irishmen
to enlist. ..,
Mr.. Lloyd George, however, is
daring enough to attempt to bal
ance both debts by granting home
rule and enforcing CONSUMPTION.
The new nationalist leader; John
Dillon, heartily denounced conscrip-
ton for Ireland. Nor were there any
signs of Cancellation from the Ulster
faction. The Irish Unionists met
under the craftsmanship of Sir Ed
ward Carson and resolved to sup
port CONSUMPTION, but they were
merely endorsing what has been one
of the pIanks in their platform.
It is felt generally that there is
a greater and stronger force in the
country \ than any operating in the
House of Commons. That is public
opinion which apparently demands
that Irish questions shall not stand
in the way of winning the war.
The most important statement in
the premier's speech apart from Ire
land, was that General Foch had
been appointed supreme director. OF
the strategy of the allied armies on
the western front, which is taken to
mean that he has superseded the
Versailles war council.
