Ireland the government Offering Ii

to impose upon Ireland a namek mill

At the conclusion OF Mr.. Asquith's
speech Joseph Devlin moved an ad-
journment. and warned the government
that 1t was entering upon course OF
madness # it en3eavored TO enforce
conscription on Ireland. Ireland. he
said. never had been consulted on its

Mr. Dillon declared that a bill apply

plunge the country into bloodshed and
confusion and would open a new war
front. in addition to the Western front
New-York tribune., 1918-04-10

II was never certain he would take
this plunge. because he knows what it
means II II fails. But he has taken It.
ne battle proves that the enemy has
definitely decided to seek a military
decision this year. whatever the con-
sequences to himself
There is no doubt he has ever
whelming reasons. There is the eco
nomlc condition Of his country and the
crltical economic condition Of his
Allles lie Is now at the height of
ms power. and Russia IS at the least.
while America has nor yer come in in its
strength. SO, this year the enemy may
put forth something which approaches
his full strength. But soon he Will
grow teebler and weaker in comparison
with the Allied forces.
Everything. therefore, points 10 the
dennlte determination of Germany to
put the whole Of her resources into see
ing military decision this wear. and
TINS means a prolonged battle from the
North Sea to the Adriatic. with Ger
many and Austria throwing in the
whole Of their strength
Seven Months More Of Fighting
There are still seven or eight
months within which the fighting can
continue, and everything depends upoo
keeping our strength right to the end.
whatever the strain upon our resources 5
may be.
With American aid we can do T.
BUT even with American help we can
not feel secure unless we are prepared
ourselves TO make even greater sacri
fees than we have hitherto made

Know also what Will happen if the de
mand which the government is putting
forward IS not res ponded to-
1T Is idle to imagine. as some neo-
pie very ight-heartedly seem to think.
that you have got an unlimited reser-
volr of man power in this or in anv
nelligerent country. We have already
raised in this country for military ana
naval purposes very nearly six million
men. We cannot raise here the same
proportion of men per population as
you can in other belligerent countries.

pends not merely for ourselves. but for

New-York tribune., 1918-04-10
Losses Very Large

1T is TOO early to state yet with
accuracy our losses, because in the case
of a battle over such a wide front,
fought with such intensity for over
fortnight, with vast mum bers OF men
engaged, the losses sustained must be
nsiderable The claims of the enemy
as to prisoners have been grossly cX
aggerated, and Field Marshal Haig has
assured me that they were quite i'm
possible from the figures at his dis
pocal, and which he showed me, and
the enemy's claims seem quite prepos
ferrous from the statement he made
to me.
but still our losses are very great
and our reserves have been called upon
to a considerable extent to make up
the wastage and reht the units, and if
the drain continues on this scale, a
drain on the resources OF reserves and
Of man power. it must cause the deep
est anxiety, unless we take immediate
steps to replenish 1t.
To Force Decision This Year
"The immediate necessity is relieved
by the splendid and generous way and
promptitude in which America has
come to our aid, but they are simply
lent to receive their training, with a
view to their incorporation at the first
suitable moment in the American army
in France. and even If they remain
with the British right through the bat
tie, the time will come when we shall
need large renforcements, If this battle
continues.

a moment what the plans of the enc
my may be as they are now revealed

Must Make Sacrifices

we have also got to supply coal
largely TO our allies. as we'll as steel.
But, owing largely 10 improved organi
cations in the various industries. 10 the
way they are adanting themselves from
day to day to new conditions. and to
the increased numbers and greatlv in
creased efficiency of woman labor, there
is reserve of men. which. consistent
with the discharge of these obligations,
may Yet be withdrawn IN great emer-
gency for our battle line. Not without
damage to industry do not forget
that-and not without. TO a certain eN-
tent, weakening the economic strength
Of the country, and not without impos-
ing restrictions and perhaps privations.
but without impairment to the striking
power of the country for war.
Nothing could justify such drastic
action except an overwhelming emer-
gency precipitated by a great military
crisis.
Il want to point out specially Why
the steps taken now are steps which
viii be useful in this battle. First of
all. ii is y battle which may last for
months. The decision may be taken
not now or next month. but may be
months hence. But. beyond that. the
Allies at the present moment have the
same reserves OF man power to rein
force their armies as Germany has.
without taking into account those
great reserves in America.

But the inherent difficulties to be
overcome are tremendous. There are
national prejudices, national interests,
professional prejudices and traditions.
The inherent difficulties of getting two
or three separate armies to fight as one
are almost insurmountablc, and it can
only be done if public opinion in all
these countries insist upon it as one
condition Of success. The Versailles
conference was an effort at remedy.
How were the Versailles decisions car

were not married out? This is not the

tion without challenge, may, l think,
be worth the price we paid for it. A
