"TAY PAY" REGARDS CARSON
RESIGNATION AS HELP
TO IRISH SETTLEMENT
His Position In Cabinet Might EN-
barrass Lloyd Georges
Efforts.
Probably Resigns to Back His Asso

Report-HopefuI View
Of Situation.

Chicago, Jan. 22.-"Tay Pay" O'Con-
nor made the following statement to-
day with regard to the resignation of
Sir Edward Carson from the British
war cabinet.
II think it helps the chances of a
friendly settlement of the Irish prob
lem by the convention. I have no
doubt that all the persuasion of Lloyd
George is being used on the represen-
tatives of the Orange party not to dis
appoint the hopes of all the world and
not to prejudice seriously the vigorous
prosecution of the war by holding out
in the impossible policy of dividing
Ireland.
Pressure Impossible.
IT have heard of other difficulties at
the convention but this old demand of
a portion of Ulster to be separated
from the rest of Ireland has always
appeared to me a real difficulty, and
Sir Edward Carson's position became
increasingly difficult as the conven-
ton approached the final hour when
this fateful question of Ulster had to
be solved.
Though he probably is anxious for
settlement and sees the far reach
ing and disastrous consequences of a
failure by the convention to settle,
Sir Edward Carson may have found it
difficult, owing to his supreme respon-
sibility for the Ulster movement in
the past, to use any pressure as a
minister on his old associates to aban-
don their previous positions. On the
other hand, his desire for settlement
could not permit him to use any in.
fuence in an opposite direction.

food purchasing is one of the first aids
to economical housekeeping, according

you are not rich enough to have a
maid, you carry your own vegetables
in an embroidered cloth bag swinging
from your arm. This cloth bag is an
important point, because it marks you

CARSON RESIGNS
BRITISH CABINET
OisgruntIed Because Of Governments
Decision Against Irish Con-
scrption.
Smaller and Narrower Questions of
Irish Affairs Better Suits the Calibre
OF the Orange Leader Than the
Great World Questions of the War.

London, Jan. 22.-Sir Edward Car
son, minister without portfolio in the
war cabinet, has resigned. This an
nouncement was made officially last
night. The prime minister has advis-
ed the king to accept Sir Edwards
resignation. The correspondence pub
lished shows that Sir Edwards resig-
nation was on the Irish question and
had nothing to do with the conduct
of the war.
Sir Edwards action takes out of the
cabinet one of the most uncompromis-
ing British statesmen on the question
of home rule for Ireland. For years
Sir Edward has opposed the setting
up of an Irish parliament and prior
to the outbreak of the present war,
when the Irish question was at it's
height he even went to the extent of
organizing and training the Ulster Vol.
unteers for civil war against the Brit
ish government if home rule for Ire
land, which would embrace the county
of Ulster was inaugurated.
Then came the world war, and Sir
Edward almost Immediately announced
that the Ulster volunteers were ready
for service under the flag of Great
Britain against the enemy In May,
1915, Sir Edward was appointed at
torney general in the Asquith cabinet
but resigned in October of the same
year.
In December, 1916, Sir Edward was
made first lord of the admiralty in the
cabinet of David Lloyd George. He
frequently bitterly denounced the AS
quith government on it's declination to
apply CONSUMPTION to Ireland.
In July, 1917, Sir Edward relin-
quished his post as first lord of the
admiralty and joined the war cabinet
without portfolio.
The statement of Sir Auckland Ged-
des last week that the government had
decided not to introduce CONSUMPTION
in Ireland for the present, was the
chief cause Of Sir Edward Carson's
withdrawal from the government.

tween Italy and Austria, and between
Germany and France. there is reason
to hope that the parties in conflict

conciliatory mood in view of the
great advantages of durable peace

French territory, while the opposing
belllgerents, on their part, should
make similar restitution of the Ger.
man colonies.
In some instances there may be spe-
cial reason for discussing this uues
ton on basis of justice and equity.
But pacific agreements, with the i'm
mense advantages that would accrue
from such discussion, are not possible
without a reciprocal restitution of the
territories at present occupied.
T. Therefore, Germany, on her
part, should completely evacuate Bel

equity and Justice should be followed
in the consideration of other territor-

those relative to Armenia and the Bal

part of the ancient kingdom of Po-

Hut Director Thinks Government should Operate ROads for Nome
 Ttme After Peace

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 4.--- Director General McAdoo told the senate interstate commerce commit tee today he thought the government should retain operation of the rail- roads for some time after peace comes and not return them to pri- vate ownership until new and com prehensive laws had been enacted to govern them.
 Director General McAdoo denied that he had anything to do with the fuel restriction order. He said he ap- proved of the order and thought it would be very beneficial
 Tt should be borne in mind" said MT. Mr.McAdoo, that by the end of the war. the public and shippers will be accustomed to dealing with the gov ernment and I am convinced that . thorough time should be given at the end of the war before the railroads are turned back to their owners"
 An entire new situation. he thot, would be faced when peace came that would have to be met by new and comprehensive laws and that it would be injurious to the stockholders to throw the railroads back into private operation without first adopting com prehensive and rational legislation.
 Do you personally believe in gov ernment ownership" asked Senator Watson.
 No" replied MT. McAdoo. but I do believe it will be impossible to turn the roads back to their owners under exactly the same system by which they were operated when the government took them over. There must be some form of government control"
 Senator Watson asked if the rail- roads. under government control. would not continue to operate under their old management except for or ders given from time to time by the director general.
 The fundamental principles of op- eration have been changed by orders already given. MT. McAdoo said. and others are in contemplation which change entirely the routing of traf- fic.
 MT. McAdoo said if weather condi- tions improve it might not be neces- sary for the fuel order to remain in effect as long as indicated. He declar- ed the transportation situation was being greatly improved.

NEW YORK. Feb. flames w. Gerard's work as ambassador to Ger many was praised by speakers Satur- day night at the annual reunion of the Society of the Genessee. at which MT. Gerard was guest of honor. Among the speakers were Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Dr. Talcott Williams and John R. Rathom, editor of the Provi- depce Journal.
 MT. Rathom said Secretary of War Baker, although a good lawyer. is a pacifist at heart and socialist in his tendencies.
 "He has surrounded himself with socialists and many of them of Ger man origin" he continued. There are too many Germans on guard in our offices in Washington and in truth conditions are all wrong if we expect to win this war. We must have more of Americanism and fewer fads and isms.'

The writer concluded by predicting that incompetent democrats would be swept out of office.
 Senator Thomas smiled broadly as the gallery roared at the vigorous sentences.
 Tt seems dispassionate. imperson- al and non-partisan." remarked the senator at its conclusion. and he ob- jected to Senator Phelan's contention that it should be expunged from the record as reflection on the senate.

UNREST IS. CAUSED BY
 BRITISH FOOD PROBLEM

LONDON, Feb. 4.--Increasing at tentiOn is being given by the news papers to food troubles and popular impatience with what is regarded widely as avoidable privations. The Times today prominently calls atten- tion to the persistence of the un- equal distribution of food and its of springs" the queue system" which. it says is beginning to tell on the tenn pers of numbers of persons.
 It refers to numerous protests and to the demands for rationing which are finding an outlet in some in stances in outbreaks of disorderli- ness. It writes sympathetically of peo- pie standing in long lines in the bit ter weather. and says it would be folly to ignore the obvious symptoms of unrest.
 The labor correspondent of the Times says that 1t is evident that situation is imminent which will tax the food department to the utter most. He says there is no occasion for alarm. but a need of complete frankness and prompt action. The writer restates the view of the work CTS that not only are the wealthy peo- pie able to escape the queue troubles by the power of their purses. but they are getting all the supplies they re- quire. while the poor stand for hours exposed to the weather and then often get nothing. :: The workers also are convinced that an artificial scarcity has been created by the farmers. dealers and speculators. The unrest, the writer [continues, vfll be allayed only when the food controller eonvinces the av- craze Workingman that curtailment lis unavoidable.
