London, Feb. c1-Much prominence
Is given the situation in Ireland by the
morning newspapers in connection
with the official announcement that
troops have been sent to assist the po-
lice in County Clare. Various acts of
lawlessness are reported.
Some correspondents assert that I'M
rest is deepening in the west and south
of Ireland and that the situation is get
ting beyond control. On the other
hand the Daily News, whose Dublin
correspondent the other day reported
the situation in the west and south as
alarming, today prints despatch from
Limerick that there is no cause for
alarm. 1t adds that arrangements
have been made to cope with any trou-
BILE and that reports of disorder are ex-
aggerated.
The position Of II. r. Duke, chief
secretary for Ireland, is the subject of
many rumors. The Dublin correspon-
dent of the Daily Express, sends a re-
port that he has resigned.
The Daily Mail says the government
has decided in the future to disregard
hunger striking by prisoners. Several
Sim Feiners recently were released
after going on hunger strike, which
has been adopted by ordinary prison.

HERTL|NG SPEECH .
Considered Detestable
Hypocrisy by British
Public

London, Feb. 27.--As far as the Brit
ish public is concerned the mild words
of Count Won Hertling concerning Ger
many's pacific intentions and his par
tial acceptance of President Wilson s
basis for lasting world peace fell upon
almost deaf ears. German speech is
judged here by German acts.
All details of the new war against
helpless Russia rob German states
men of their stock in trade-the plea
that Germany is waging a war of self
defense.
The British press is virtual unan-
imous in the belief that the whole east
ern situation has been cleverly arrang-
ed and plotted with view to bringing
eastern and Central Europe under Ger
man domination and for the vital rur-
pose Of citing food from the Ukraine.
The most important newspapers
which lean toward peace by negot:a-
ton, notably the Westminster Gazette
anG the Manchester Guardian. seem 10
have undergone q change of outlook
as the result of the events of the past
week while the Daily News today says
in effect that no hope can be drawn
from the chancellor's speech The
Daily Mail ADDS:
When we turn from his words to
his acts in Russia, we see his profess
siCns have no meaning"
The paper sees no hope for Il change
of heart in the military despots OF
Prussia, but finds more hope in a
change of spirit in Austria. and sees
IN
President Wilson and the allied de-
mocracies to the German people.
The Daily Chronicle says: 1nconsis-
tency between words and deeds sure
~ seldom has been carried further
than in the contrast between Won Hef'-
lirg's professions and the actions ol
his government in Russia. He blandlS
agrees to President Wilson'S PROPOSE
items and all the time is carrying out
by brute force the most glsahtl'
scheme of annexations modern Europe
ever has known"
I'VE are quite unable to believe the
chancellor is speaking the truth says
the Morning Post. What Germany
does is alone worth consideration. In
til the German people depose their rul-
ers or until the German armies are de-
feated. it is impossible to conceive an
honorable peace can be attained.
The Daily Telegraph thinks the
speech reveals an attitude as essen
, TALLY antagonistic to peace which the
Entente can accept as any Of his pre-
vious statements. 1t adds;
1T is quite enough to test the chan
cellor's so-called acceptance of Presi-
dent Wilson's principles by the recent
exhibition of German methods on the
Russian frontier.
The speciousness of the speech only
makes its hypocrisy more conspicuous
and detestable," says the Daily Mail,
which remarks incidentally that the
chancellor's declaration that Ger
many never thought of assaiiing Swiss
neutrality is gravely ominous. 1t ADDS:
when Germany announces Sratuit-
ously that it is not going to do a GER
tain thing, it is time for those con-
cerned to look for troubles.
