Critical Status in France
Casts Restraint Over
Both Sides.
BELLIGERENCY VOCAL
Unusual Prosperity Enjoyed
Tempers Criticisms of
Great Britain.

London. April l3.-There are strong
hopes in London that the Irish trouble
will gradually be brought to a pacific
solution. An important fact is that the
menace OF critical events in France
overshadows all other considerations
and imposes restraint even upon all
factions OF Irishmen and the ardent
British supporters. This restraint has
been exhibited in several ways. II
ex- Premier Asauith had translated his
judgment against conscription into n
more limited proposal last night 1t
might have arrayed majority Of the
house against it. This would have
meant a change Of government But
Asquith considered that it was impos-
slble to propose such a stand under the
present circumstances and concerned
himself that consumption in Ireland
would be a great mistake. AS a result
the opposition was composed OF Irish
OF them pacifists. and those generally
listed as faddlsts.
Believe War Cause Just.
John Dillon and Joseph Devlin, who
have been jointly filling John Red
mond's shoes as leaders Of the Irish
party, might have made n much more
troublesome night than they did. but
they refrained from parliamentary OBJ
struction.
Both Of them tempered their fight
against conscription with the state
ment that they believed the cause Of
Great Britain in the war was just
cause. Mr.. Devln went further by
proclaininE his desire to fight for it.
This attitude Is bound to have an in
fluence in Ireland. Sir Edward Carson,
the Ulster leader. and his followers,
who generally manage to kindle all the
animosity there is latent among the
Irish factions whenever any Irish ques-
ton is raised. also exhibited restraint
by remaining silent instead OF de-
nouncing those opposing CONSUMPTION.
The Nationalist and Sim Fein news
papers in Ireland maintain n belliger-
ent attitude, but Mr.. Asquith contends
rhetorical belligerency.
Prosperity Tempsrs.
Ireland is enjoying a prosperity here
tofore unknown. She is the chief
feeder for England. Her farmers are
becoming rich. They are the backbone
OF thf; country and rebelious events
would destroy their prosperity.
The Sim Feiners of course are ir-
reconciiable. but at present none of the
property interests of the country have
raised their voice. The foregoing are
the features of the situation On the
other side is the opposition of the Cath
ole clergy to CONSUMPTION. The meet
Ing between John Dillon and Joseph
Devlin and the Sim Fein leaders, to
come at an early date, may develop
into 'conclliatory influence rather
than otherwise.

Immoral Ruse to Escape
Draft Fails in Purpose

St. Louis, Mo.-Examination of the
missionaries submitted by men of
draft age in st. Louis, disclosed at
'temrts to avoid service that amounted
to the ludicrous. There was a man
who declared he should not be sent to
Camp Funston because ne was "mor-
ally unfit" He explained that several
days before he had stolen A. sack Of
potatoes and, according to his state
ment. any one so bereft of morals
should not contaminate United States

censured." He was placed in the Al

On the xsoutherly side of the wedge

There was an improvement also in

As the result Of numerous inquiries in regard to the making +'of Victory Bread which is already making its, ap- pearance in the stores of the state, Miss NJ.

This bread may be. prepared by any house wife. s, Victory. Bread: Liquid,s three-quar- .ters. cup (water, milk or other lquid), fat 1: teaspoon, salt three quarters ened in one quarter cup, lukewarm li- quid, wheat flour two and one half cups, substitute one-half cup.
 The wheat substitute may be any one or combinations of the following: Barley, corn meal, oat meal, rolled oats, or rice.
 Heat the liquid to boiling. Put the salt and fat into @ bowl and pour the hot liquid over them. Allow the mix ture to, become luke, warm Then add !, the softened yeast and one-ha1f the four, Beat, thoroughly: Work in the remaining flour in Small portions, kpeading. with the hands when the dough is too stiff to stir. The exact quantity of the four to be added can not definitely be stated as it depends upon the quality of the flour. Some
 times little more, sometimes a little less, than the three cups of flour in the recipe will be required. The dough
 should finally be of such 8 consisten-
 cy that it will not stick to the hands
 or the bowl If a larger qauntity of
 bread is made it is more convenient
 to knead the dough on a board. About
 10 minutes kneading is desirable to
 mix the ingredients thoroughly and
 make a smooth. elastic dough. Cover
 the bowl and set. it where it will keep
