The Irish question again looms large. The British
man-power bill, providing for conscription for ireland,
has passed both houses Of parliament and been signed
by the king. Irish partisan& who have been at swords
points have got together on the common basis Of oppose
ton to CONSUMPTION. and forcible resistance to the en-
forcement of the law is threatened. and is generally
anticipated. The home rule bill which has been prom
Used. has not yet been introduced, but it is expected to oe
placed before parliament. soon.
In the present effort to dispose OF the Irish prob
lem Lloyd George has evidently determined to put his
fate once more to the test. and in remarks that he has
made there is the implied declaration that If parlia-
ment does not choose to carry out his policy it may look
for another leader. The Irish question has wrecked not
a few political careers. but on the other hand, the sort
Of daring which the British premier exhibits on this &C.
casion has pulled him out of many a fight place before.

Secretary Baker has returned from his tour of the
battle fronts in France, and he expresses himself as well
satisfied with the results Of his visit. He has had the
advantage of personal contact with the commander Of
our armies in France, Of observation Of battle conditions.
and Of the opportunity to confer with the representatives
Of other nations associated with our own. He makes no
statement with reference to specific military conditions,
but in a general way he expressed perfect confidence
in the ultimate result and he speaks highly of both the
morale and the fitness of our troops abroad
The many thousands of railroad men throughout the
country have awaited with interest the findings of the
railway wage commission which began its investigation
into wages and conditions of work some months ago.
The commission has just filed its report, which contains
recommendations for wage advances, although details
are not announced. 1t is understood that if the recon-
mendations of the commission are followed substantial
advances will be made for all classes Of railway labor,
but the greatest increases will be in the wages Of the
men now drawing the lowest wages. The justice Of this
will generally be recognized.

RIDING THE BUMPS
OF THE WAR NEWS
(By James H. Collins.l

Do % ride all the bumps Of the
a news from day to day? Many
good patriots do. Each morning
brings its passing changes in the war
! situation; now gloom, in the form of
a setback on the western front. or
further disintegration in Russia. or
!umors OF delay in our w war prep
arations. Next morning. like as. not,
there will be something of a hopeful
nature, such as the checking Of the
Huns drive in Italy, or a raid by the
British or French, or good news here
at home.
To follow and feel all these glees
and E]ooms from day to day is human
and exciting. -
But it involves much useless wear
and tear Of the spirit.
Their is another viewpoint-that

changes in the war situation, keeping

That haul is still a long one. For
Germany is not beaten Yet. but the
results arc sure, because we have
right on our side, and also the largest
battalions. 1t o grow warm and

thusiasm and depression with the

that Germany has begun to crack and
that the war Is about over.
It Is good business, good patriotism.

AWARDED
WRIT IN DAMAGE CASE
Plaintiff Moved to Set Aside Verdict
In His Own Behalf. But Was Over
ruled

The supreme court OF appeals has
awarded a writ OF error In the case
OF Shumaker's Administrative against
Atlantic Coast Line Railway company.
This Is an action for damages grow
ing out of the alleged wrongful act Of
the railroad com pany in causing the
death of the plaintiffs decedent In
the yards of the company in South
Richmond, August %, 1915 and was
tried in the law and equity court of
the city OF Richmond
The jury awarded $4,000 damages
as their verdict for the alleged death
by wrongful act. The defendent com
pany had demurred to the plaintiff s
evidence. and the verdict was condi-
toned upon the ruling Of the court
upon the demurrer. When the verdict
came in, the plaintiff moved to set
the verdict aside, The record does not
disclose the grounds Of the motion, but
IT Ia assumed the grounds were that
the verdict was contrary TO the law
aud evidence. The court overruled
the motion to set aside, and later
sustained the demurrer.
The interesting feature IN the mat
ter is that had the court sustained
the motion of the plaintiff. he would
have been entitled to a new trail, but
ny oNelE uliuE the nlOtlon, ana sustain d.
ing the demurrer to the evidence, the
plaintiff has only q final chance with
the court of appeals. Should the ap-
pellate court find error II will be
equivalent to everything the demurrer
Of the defender Should there be no
error the lower court is sustained, and
in either event the case ia ended.
Appeals were refused 10 the follow
ing cases Mertens against Messtmer.

HAWAIN STEAMSHIP
ESCAPES HUN CRAFT

An Atlantic Port, June 21.--The
Hawaiian American steamship Ne
hraskan escaped dn a hot tight with a
German u-hoat while enroute to the
United States. 1t was learned tonight.
The submarine attempted 10 halt her
with shot across her bow. but the
Nebraskan's captain Immediately at
tempted TO escape The submarine
opened up with shot after skot, the
Nebraskan returning tho flre.
The u-boat finally launched a tor
pedo which missed the vessel by n
narrow margin. Three other torpedoe a.
followed. each passing close to tho
fghting merchantmen.
The Nehraskan during the encoun-
ter sent out wireless messages to other
vessels to remain away from the scene.
Heavy airing has been heard again
of the Virginia capes and rumors have
been circulated that an American war
ship has accounted for 4 U-boat. A

he saw one Of the underwater boats

RELIEF PROMISED
TO BASEBALL CLTRS

Professional baseball players Of
draft age viii not be required to
work or fight" till next winter II
Secretary Baker. and eventually Prest-
dent Wilson, approve General Crowd
er's recommendation OF temporary ex-
emption.
The baseball managers have made
some earnest representations TO Gen
eral Crowder. who has been impressed
with their reasonahleness. The man
ayers have demonstrated that en-
forcement of the order would disrupt
nearly every important baseball club
in the country and that baseball play
ed exclusively by men under twenty
one and over thirty-one would be a
poor imitation OF the sport, They
also argued that the order would un-
settle their business arrangements for
the season
The managers have said that il the
government will suspend the applica-
ton Of the order to baseball PLAYERS
until after the colse OF the present sea e
son they will ask nothing further and
will prepare for the next season with
the understanding that no men of
draft age will be employed in the
game
Inasmuch as the baseball season
vii, be nearly hair over hy July |
when the work or fight order goes
into effect, General Crowder decided
that lemency would not be too great
concession. He made 1t clear, how
ever the exemptine baseball PLAYERS
from operation OF the work or fght
order does not exempt them from the
draft, II local draft boards should
reach the names of any baseball
players in calling class men to the
colors. such players would be COM
PEELED TO respond. Those not draft
ed however, would not he compelled
TO quit the game and And useful en-
ployment until after the close OF the
ha sc ball season.
