Would Refer to President Wilson.

Mr. Dillon counseled the premier to
settle the Irish question by referring
to President Wilson or else by taking
1t into his own hands and abandoning
at once all coercive measures. The
premier might very well ask America,
he added, to render another great
service to humanity in the reconcilia-
ton of Ireland and England.
Mr.. Dillon's suggestion that. the
question oS Ireland be referred to
President Wilson was well received
by the house, but, as former Premier
Asquith pointed out, it could not be
expected that the President of the
United States would undertake such
an arduous task at this time, and the
matter was obviously one which the
British people would have to settle
themselves.
The question was one of overwhelm-
ing Importance. Mr.. Asquith declared.

government to make another enort'

German Plots in Ireland.

There had been a German plot in
Ireland before the war; there had
been German plot in ireland since
the war. They had three objects:
First, to deprive the British Of Irish
help; second. to compel Great Britain
to keep a large number of British
troops in Ireland; third, to weaken
the moral positions of Britain in
dealing with the cause of small ma
tionS.
The Germans, said Mr.. Dillon, had
succeeded simply and solely because
of the operations of the British gov
ernment
The way to conquer German plots,
the Irish nationalist leader went on,
was not to break faith with. but to
win the sympathy of the Irish people
themselves No one in Ireland be-
lieved in any pledge of the British
government or that the government
would stick to any policy whatever.

condemning the governments Irish

Introducing his resolution which

ted that the nationalist party was In

because we have struggled to save
the constitutional position and bring
Ireland into the war. while the gov
