Washington, Oct. $3.50 many
conflicting reports about a German
reply to President Wilson have come
out Of Holland and Switzerland dur
ing the past few days that officials
here are disposed now to believe
nothing on the subject until the text
of a note is received, either through
official channels or from an unques-
toned unofficial source.
German government organs an
nounced Wednesday that the reply
had been dispatched and since then
the newspapers of the border neu-
trails have heard almost hourly that
the note was on it's way or about
to be sent or would not be sent for
several days. They have given vary
ing accounts of it's contents. A cir
cumstantial story of how the reply
was held up at the last moment for
further consideration after a stormy
meeting of members of the Berlin
government with the military leaders
appeared to observers here to have
the color of truth and it is regarded
as entirely possible that the same
thing happened again later in the
week. Every version of the probable
nature of the reply under considera-
ton if not adopted indicates that the
Germans are preparing to come for
ward with what they. at least. will
expect the world to believe is long
step toward meeting conditions which
President Wilson has said must be
met before there can be thought OF
an .armistice or discussion of peace.
Whatever may be the substance OF
the note. it is believed here that its
form will be designed to make it diff
ficult for President Wilson to AVOID
further exchanges.
According to one of the representatives
today the Germans will agree to eVac-
uate Belgium and to professionally aban-
don unrestricted warfare. but will dis
pute the right Of foreign powers to med
die with German internal affairs. An
other says the offer will include imme-
date suspension of submarine warfare.

American troops will soon be in the thick of the fighting

front, according to the indications in today's dispatches. They
have appeared in the British battle zone where their presence
is expected to be felt shortly, the advices state.
Meanwhile the new German offensive in Flanders appears
to be developing into more than a local operation. The fight
ing has spread to the north of Armentieres, south of which it
first broke out, and adrive is now on between Armentieres and
Messines, behind which lies the famous ridge, the taking Of
which by the British in their terrific blasting operation of last

German effort in the Flanders stroke is really of such magni-

Lloyd-G George Throws a
Double Bombshell Into
House of Commons.
WAR IRELAND'S,
PREMIER DECLARES
(ey leased Wlre 70 New MexIcan.l

(5y Leased Wire to New Mexiean.)
LONDON, April 10.-A political
bombshell was thrown in the house Of
commons today by David Lloyd-George
the prime minister, when he announc-
ed that conscription would be extend
ed to Ireland and that the government
intended to extend home rule to Ire
land.
The scenes during the course Of the
Premier's speech In reference to Ire.
land 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 Devlin, nationalist, mcy-
ed a motion to adjourn. The govern.
ment carried a closure on his motion
and then adjournment was defeated
by an overwhelming vote. Irish APP
proval of the proposed measures was
not foreshadowed by the attitude Of
the nationalist leaders, nor did the
Ulster faction show any signs of con-
cillation. John Dillon, the successor
Of John Redmond denounced con-
scription. Sir Edward Carson, the
Ulster leader while approving con-
scription, objected to the Introduction
of the home rule measure at this time.
The house approved the Introduction
of the governments manpower bill by
299 to 80 and it was announced that
time for discussion of the bill had
been extended till next Tuesday.
Premier Lloyd-George said the ex-
clusion Of Ireland could not be justi-
fed any longer and the character of
the war was as much Irish as English.
ireland, through her representatives
had approved the war and voted to
commit the empire to it. After a
declaration Of the Irish party APPROX
ing the British participation in the
war, the Premier continued: May |
also refer to a speech delivered by
the late John Redmond at Mansion
House, Dublin, when he was address
ing a recruiting meeting there? He
said:
''The heart of Ireland has been pro.
foundly moved by the spectacle OF
the heroism and sufferings Of Bel
GUM. The other day in London l
met Cardinal Archbishop MERCER and
l took the liberty of promising him
then that Ireland would bring her
arms and her strength to avenge Lou
vain and to uphold and defend the in
tegrity and independence of Belgium.
Belgium, Poland, Alsace-Lorraine.
Those are words for the Irish people
to think over. There never was a
war in which hihger and nobler issues
were at stake. l have heard people
speak of this war as an English and
not an Irish war. That is absolutely
and definitely untrue. Ireland's high
est imperial interests are at stake"
The fact that America is in this
war is best proof. There are more
Irishmen in the United States than
there are In Ireland. They are all
subject to CONSUMPTION. Captain A.

leader, interrupted; Not by Eng
