CLAIM BARNES
SPEECH Was A
TRIAL BALLOON

London, May 1.-THE speech on
Sunday In which George Nicoll
Barnes, labor mamber of the war
cabinet, advocated federal scheme
of home rule for the United Kingdom,
has attracted much attention in po-
litical quarters here and in Ire
land.
The lobbyists at Westminster says
the utterances was "a trial balloon"
to test the country's opinion and de-
clare that although the government
has not decided definitely on a fedeF-
al scheme individual members of the
cabinet, including Premier Lloyd
George, are inclining more and more
to such a solution of the Irish preb-
lem. This is due partly, it is said, be-
cause they believe the scheme affords
the only chance of winning Ulster te
home rule,
Some of the cabinet members be-
lieve also, according to the lobby
correspondents, that there is a great
| disposition in parliament and the
country than ever toward a fedora
scheme.

HIT HARD BY WAR

London, May t5.---A graphic picture
of the terrible economic distress pre-
vai1ing in Bosnia and Herzegovina is
published by the newspaper Glaslo-
boda of Agram, Austria. The paper
declares that only two provinces in
the Austrian empire have suffered
more terribly from the war than Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina.
Those two provinces" it says, 'are
GaIjcia and BukoWina, which were
the cockpits of great conflicts be-
tween the Austrian and Russian ar
mics Nevertheless, the situation in
Bosnia and Herzegovina is terrible,
Entire districts of eastern Bosnia
and the whole of the eastern part OF
Herzegovina are today depepuiated
and devastated regions which look as
e q. terrible typhoon had visited them
with its devilish destruction. A great
number of Inhabitants were deported
and have since died in internment
camps. Those who remained were
nassaered by Austrian soldiers. II

ODD FELLOWS IN
CONVENTION At
WATERBURY CITY
Necessity Of Supporting
Prosecution of War
Strongly Emphasized.

Waterbury, Conn.,, May 15.---The me-
cessity of supporting the government
In every way in the prosecution of the
war was emphasized by Grand Master
George M. Chapman in his report to
the annual session of the Grand
Lodge of Connecticut, Independent
Order Of Odd Fellows, here today. He
spoke Of the work which the order
had done in furthering the food con-
servation program of the government
and also said that Tp to January 1 of
the present year 81 lodges in this
state had taken an aggregate of $44.O 600
in Liberty Bonds. Reports on sub
scripttons to the third loan he said
had not yet been received, but the in
dications were that the response had
been generous as it had In the buy
ing of thrift stamps and war savings
certificates. The order had furnished
1900 men for the country's service so
far.
Among his recommendations was
one that an assessment of one dollar
be laid on the membership for the
year July 1, 1918, to July /, 1913, to be
paid January 1 on the basis of mem
bershfp on July l. 1918, and on July l.
1919, on the basis of membership on
January 1 of that year, the fund to
be used to pay sick benefits as well
as dues. The previous assessment OF
Is cents per capita which had been
laid only to pay dues, he said had
been all paid in.
A considerable gain in membership
in the lodges and Rebekah lodges had
been shown during the year he said
and a generally satisfactory condition
of the order prevails in this jurisdic-
ton.
On January of the present veal
the total membership, in the state
according to the report Of the grand
secretary, William S. Hutchison Of
New Haven, was 25,s51, a net gain fol
the year of $50. The membership OF
the Rsbekah lodges was $500, a net
gain of 1877.

new PROPAGANDA
IN GERMANY TO
PROSECUTE jews

Stockholm, May 14,-(Correspond-
.bnce of the Associated Press): A new
hnti-Semitic campaign has begun in
Germany, announces the German AS
bociation for Combating of Anti-Sem-
Stion, which has issued an appeal for
support in opposing this new propa-
ganda against Jews.
"All indications point to the fact
that this anti-Semitic movement will
be carried on in more extensive form
after the end of the war" asserted
the German association. Extensive
preparations have been made there
fore and pecuniary resources have
been assembled
The appeal defends the Jews against
charges of usury and profteerins
during the war, and declares that the
anti-Semitics desire to use hatred
for Jews as a means of upholding the
strongly threatened and unjustified
privileges of small caste against the
inevitable new orientation of Ger
many's internal conditions"
The April number of the German
magazine 'Deutschlands Erneuerung'
contains an article by DR.. Erich Kuhr
in which, after discussing the cam
paign to obtain a modern electora
franchise in Prussia, he declares thai
if the electoral reform be forced upor
the state, at should be provided tha
only Germans by blood-not merely
citizenship-shall be eligible for cleo
ton. It must be also be SO ordered
that only pure-blooded Germans Of {
certain standard of education shall
be permitted to occupy responsible
posts in the press. Finally it mus
be so arranged thaE-1n all our school
and universities the spirit of German
nationallsm shall be taught only b,
persons of national dependableness.
The publishers of Deutschland
Erneuerung' include the conservative
university professor con Buelow, Pre-
ident Glass of the Pan-German Ali
ance and Professor Dietrich Schafei
There is no doubt here that the AS
ISOLATION for the Combating of Anti
Semitigm correctly apprasies the sit
uation when 1t declares that a stran
anti-Semitio campaign can be expec
ted in Germany after the war. The in
dications are regarded as unmistak
able.
