Fighting for democracy and for

are said to be fearful of the effect
this move may have on their troops.
This and the fact that the Czechs

Slavs and Carniola and southwark
have become openly hostile to the
Austrian government may explain
why the enemy offensive against It.

right" says a special dispatch to
the Temps, describing a visit to the
American troops at the front.
The F'ranco-British liason has
been rightly described as intimate;
the Franco-American is, if posi-
BILE, still closer 1t is real fusion.
Every document of one of the
Americans is Immediately trans

lies. There are two uniforms, two
languages, but one army"
The correspondent asked a
French artillery colonel, who is
well known in Washington, what
he thought Of his American allies.
The colonel replied: I'VE value
them highly, of course. There are
lots of tricks which we learned-at
what cost-which we can hand on;
but I am astonished at their facul-
" of assimilation
Take my arm of the service.
One Of the greatest difficulties in
artillery is the utilization of OBJ

The correspondent visited an
American chief Of staff and asked
if he had lost many during the
month he had been in the fine.
The reply was: Some; not
many"
The correspondent said: yet
your sector seems to be pretty hot

The American officer replied:
Yes. but not as hotly as that in

ties in its Irish policy and cannot
find a successor Baron Wimborne,
who has resigned the lord lieuten-
antship. while the committee ap-
pointed to draft a bill up to this
time has settled virtually nothing
except the preamble. It's dellb-
erations, it is added are held upon
the issue of giving the veto to us
ter and also in considering past
ministerial promises to Ulster.
The only way out of the diff

BILE labor members of the house Of
commons is that the governmeast
temporarily abandon both conscrip-
ton and home rule.

of commons of both Unionists and
liberals, who accepted an invitation
of the navy league to discuss what
TO do regarding Irish costal defense

delegates to urge upon the com

seems to me little short of insan-
ity for any government to reopen
the question of home rule. This
indeed, is craftsmanship manufac-
tured out of panic and founded on
broken pledges in breach OF trust
If we have to go down let us do so
with the flag flying and not in alli-
ance with those whose object is to
gain advantages for enforcing fur
ther separation policies"
