DISAGREE ON THE
IRISH PROBLEM

SCRIPTTON is TO BE AP-
Piled IN ERIN.
OTHERS SEEM ALARMED
One Daily Fears 1t Will Take Two
Battalions of English to Subdue
People for Every Irish Battalion
Sent to Front in France.

London, April lO.-Most OF the
morning newspapers agree with the
principles OF Premier Lloyd George S
man-powcr appeal. They declare,
however, there is need for caution.
The Daily Mail says that the choice
which is now being made is be
tween victory and defeat.
There is no other course known
than the one proposed it adds,
"as Russia has failed us and the
United States has not been able to
send us armies in time
The paper says that Irishmen can
not be excluded when men OF 81
in England are being called up for
service.
On the other hand The Daily
News agrees that whatever steps
will further the prosecution of the
war must be adopted, but says;
in striking a balance we must
satisfy ourselves that the gain vii
be more than the loss"
Midsummer Madness.
The paper then deals with the
Irish proposal, which it says seem.
like midsummer madness" adding
For every battalion it brings in
it will mean the loss Of two needed
to hold in check an indignant peo
pie stung once more into open re
bellion."
The Daily Chronicle says:
Setting aside the views of eX.
tremc nationalist and unionist rag
tisans, one may doubt whether ther,
is a single one of those more cen.
trally minded Irishmen who doe.
not recognize that the attempt tC
enact Irish conscription at thi,
juncture is a blunder and a catas
trophe"
Opinion of The Times.
The Times says; 1--WE shall Ger
tainly not attempt, especially in th,
light of the latest news from France
to pre-judge the attitude which The
nationalist members may ultimately
adopt toward this obvious measur,
Of justice to the rest OF the UniteC
Kingdom and to Irishmen of Can
ada and the United States"
The Morning Post rejoices tha
the premier and his colleagues hay,
resolved on straightforward, jus
and courageous policy toward Ire
land, but says the proposal to in
troduce measure of home rule il
ireland is unwise and unjust, as i
t is an attempt to conciliate the ire
conciliables.
Premier Lloyd George, says Th

clared it was intolerable that youn.

Let there be no misapprehension.
Both questions will not hang to-

"You can keep BOTH replied Mr..
Byrne.
Well said the premier, IF that
is the view of home rule, it is Il new

'While Great Britain is fighting

ALLIED ARMIES
EFFECT OF THEIR FIGHTING
WILL SOON BE FELT
BY ENEMY.
FOE IS DESPERATE AGAIN
Is Hurting Dense Masses of Infan-
try Against British Line, at Same
Time Concentrating Vast Amount
of Artillery

London, April 1o.-American re-
Inducements have appeared in the
British battle zone, says dispatch
from British headquarters in France
to Reuters Limited.
Their presence in the fighting line,
the correspondent adds, should soon
be felt.
The battle which began yesterday
morning between La Bassee and
Fleur Baix, the correspondent says,
is continuing today with unabated
violence.
The artillery duel has extended
northward to Arras, while the Ger
mans also are attacking between Ar
mentieres and Messines, on the Bel
gian border.
The enemy has brought into ac-
tion a tremendous concentration of
artillery and is throwing in his in
fantry in dense masses. The Ger
mans, the writer declared, plainly
are making another effort to breal,
through the British positions.

ALLIES ARE PUSHED BACK
ON ELEVEN-MILE FRONT
British and Portuguese Are Striking
the Enemy Hard.
ASSOCIATED Press Review

(ASSOCldlCN lCSS INCNlCN 10
In new offensive movement be-
tween Arras and Ypres, the Ger
mans have pushed back the center
of the allied line on an cleyen-milc
front. Heavy fighting still goes on
with the British and Portuguese
striking hard against the enemy on
the line OF the river Lys, southwest
of Armentieres, and the British
holding the advance in check south
of Armentieres and at Givenchy the
extreme ends of the battle front.
The purpose of the German effort
is not yet clear. it has only sue
ceeded in entering the foremost de
lenses at several points along the
front, but should the enemy drive
to beyond Bethune and the Clar-
ence river, the strong British posi-
tions at Arras and Ypres would be
endangered. The first onslaught,
however, did not make any great

L'bNoH' -NIi II "a pOllll~dl
bomb shell was thrown in the house
of commons today by David Lloyd
George, the prime minister when
he announced that conscription
would be extended to Ireland and
that the government intended to cx-
tend home rule to Ireland.
The scenes during the course Of
the premier's speech in reference to
Ireland were dramatic, approving
cheers and cries OF protest arising
from all parts of the house.
During the latter part Of his
speech the premier was frequently
interrupted by angry Irish members.
A test of strength soon developed
when Joseph Deylin, nationalist,
moved a motion to adjourn. The
government carried a closure on his
motion, and then adjournment was
defeated by IN overwhelming vote.
Irish approval Of the measures
was not fOrcshadowed by the atti-
tude OF the Nationalist leaders, nor
did the Ulster (Protestant) faction
show any signs of Cancellation.
John Dillon, he successor Of Iohn
Redmond, denounced conscription.
Sir Edward Carson the Ulster lead
cr while approving couscription,
objected to the Introduction of the
home rule bill at this time
The house approved the introduc-
ton of the governments man-power
bin by 299 to 50, and il was an
nounced that time for discussion of
the bill had been extended until
next Tuesday.
No Longer Justified.
Premier Lloyd George said the ex-
clusion of ireland could not be JUS
tilted any longer and tho character
of the war was as much Irish as
English. Ireland, through her rep
rcscntatiycs. had approved the war,
After reading a declaration of the
Irish party approving the British
participation in the war, the pre-
micr continued:
May ! also refer to q speech de-
liycred by the late Joha Redmond
at Mansion House, Dublin, when he
was addressing a recruiting meeting

land had been profoundly moved by

crty of PROMISING him then that
Ireland would bring her arms and
her strength TO aycnpe Louvain and
to uphold and defend the integrity
and independence of Belgium. Po-

These are words for tn, Irish peo-
pie to think over. There never was
a war in which higher and nobler
issues were at stake. | have heard
some people speak of this war as
English and not an Irish war. That
is absolutely and definitely untrue.

was found that the leg just above the
knee was badly crushed. The knee
was also badly injured. The physic-
ians decided that the case was one for

that the leg can be saved but it may

Deputy Sheriff Fitzgerald of VIM
bledon returned from an all-night trip
to Streeter recently, whittier he had
gone to attempt to solve the mystery
of the disappearance of $4,000 in
gold. Henry Perman of Streeter is
the loser. FEARING that the banks
would not be able to keep his funds
safe from the hand of the govern
ment, he took out his money, put it IN
tin lard can, and buried it under his
hard coal. Some time later he found
that his pot of gold had been changed
to a pail of black diamonds. And
even at the present price of anthra-
cite, the change was not satisfac-
tory one. So the sheriff's Office was
notified, and the attempt made to
find more about the theft. 1t was a
fruitless expedition, however, as the
man who had taken the money had
made good his getaway, leaving no
trace of his identity.

When they were thru eating there was
enough left on their plates to feed one

save and to help solve the serious

come to a realization and perhaps we
will then wake up and start to save.
