J north proved irreconcilable. I'VE
were finally forced" it's report said,
Ito declare that Ulster is unable to
participate in any scheme of self-gov-
eminent for Ireland; we cannot over
look the strong probability that the
controlling force of such would today
be the Sim Fein party, which is open
~ and aggressively hostile to Great
| Britain and the empire"
Although the hoped for reconcilia-
ton had not been reached, the Lloyd
George government felt justified in
adopting as a basis of action the con-
vention's majority report, and the
prime minister announced that home
rule act would be introduced without
! delay. But meanwhile the German

lem of man-power, and bill was Of
| Tered raising the draft age to SO and
canceling the exemption of Ireland
from CONSUMPTION.
Opposition to CONSUMPTION.
! The immediate outburst of protest
! from the Irish members but family
foreshadowed the uprising in Ireland
itself. The anti-British, anti-war
propaganda of Sim Fem famed into
| threats of violence. The temper of
the Nationalist was shown in such
utterances as these, from the leaders
, and from party organizations:
! Ireland is solidly opposed to con-
scription unless with the consent of a
free Irish parliament. We shall re-
sist the passage of the bill by every
means in our power.
Any attempt to impose CONSUMPTION
upon nation without it's sanction is
utterly impolitic and unjust and bound
to end in disaster
| The enforcement of compulsory
| military service on a nation without
it's assent constitutes one of the most
brutal acts of tyranny and oppression
OF which any government can be guilty.
Moreover, in the heat of the con-
| troversy has been forged a union be-
| tween Sim Fein and Nationalism, the
| leaders OF these factions cooperating
| with labor representatives in devising
a program of resistance. Not less
ominous is the attitude of the Roman
Catholic clergy, led by the cardinal
and the bishops, in putting the influ-
ence Of the church behind the organ
| lied movement.
The Argument for CONSUMPTION.
Perhaps the most deplorable' result
is that home rule, now SO near to con-
summation, has lost it's efficacy as a
means of satisfying Irish aspirations
! That measure, indeed for the time
being, has no advocates in Ireland
Ulster is more than ever implacable
| against it; Sim Fein eXults in having
destroyed it's promise; and the rest of
the population is blind to everything
but the threat of CONSUMPTION. In
Great Britain the political situation
is equally involved, for the Liberals
are against forcing the draft upon Ire
land without giving her home rule,
and their opponents are equally re-
solved that home rule shall not be
granted without imposing conscrip-
ton.
The battling nature of the issue is
shown by the ease with which Gin
controvertible" arguments can be ad-
duced on both sides. Take the case
for the draft. The need for men to de-
fend the cause Of liberty and democ-
racy is so urgent that every man in

Concrete Offer Of Mediation BY Pope

tive to the Pontif's Intervention.

newspapers announce. The document,
it is said, will be of more pressing ma
ture than formerly and will contain
concrete offers of mediation by the
pope with the possible cooperation OF
neutral sovereigns.
Similar information of the pope's in
tention, it is said, has reached Berlin,
where it has been received sympathe-
tically.
This is not the first report emanat-
ing from Germany recently that the
pope is about to make another peace
move. The Neueste Nachrichten OF
Munich, Bavaria, according to Lon
don dispatch of April %, said that the
people would make peace offer as
soon as the western offensive had as
sumed a new phase.
The Bavarian newspaper declared
the move would take the form of "a
word of warning addressed to the uni
versal conscience"
A dispatch from Stockholm Tues
day reported that a message from
Basic announced that Emperor
Charles of Austria was making new
peace offer, appealing to Italy to con.
slider 1t in her own interests.
That peace offensive" would be
made by the Central Powers in the
event that the German offensive on
the west appeared abortive has been
predicted frequently in Allied capitals.
