Loyalty Not Concealed.

There has been no effort on the part
Of Japan to conceal her loyalty. On

faith in the outcome OF the war and
our Interchangeable fealty to the allied
cause.

IRISH HOME RULE
HITS ROCKS AGAIN
Not Certain Now When Bill
Will Be introduced in
Commons.
May HOLD UP THE DRAFT

| By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 2.-Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor of the exchequer and
government spokesman, declared in the
house of commons Wednesday that he
could not say when an Irish homo rule
bill would be introduced.
This according to some lobby corre-
spondents of the morning newspapers,
covers the fact that the introduction Of
the bill has been deferred and hope Of
its presentation next week has now
been abandoned.
The Daily News says the government
has met with serious difficulties in Its
Irish policy and cannot find a success
sor to Baron Wimborne, who has re-
signed the lord lieutenantship, while
the committee appointed to draft bill
up to this time has settled virtually
nothing except the preamble.
Hold Up Deliberations.
Its deliberations. it is added, are held
up, on the issue Of giving the veto to
Ulster and also in considering past min
isterial promises to Ulster
The only way out of the difficulties is,
in the opinion of responsible labor
members of the house Of commons, that
the government temporarily abandon
both CONSUMPTION and home rule:
It is nowise improbable, adds the
Daily News, that this course will be
adopted in the near future.
A sidelight is thrown on the difficult
issues involved by the meeting Wednes-
day of between fifty and sixty peers
and members Of the house OF commons,
both unionist and liberal, who ac-
cepted an. invitation Of the Navy
League to discuss what to do re-
garding Irish coastal defense in event
of the passing of a home rule bill. The
meeting appointed delegates to urge
upon the committee drafting the bill
that the imperial authorities ought to
retain full control Of Irish harbors and
ports, probably also railroads.
Unionists Stiffen Opposition.
It is reported in political circles that
the more extreme elements of the
unionist party have stiffened lately
against any form of home rule, and
letter just written by Sir Edward Car
son to the secretary of the southern
unionist committee in Ireland suggests
that the rumors are well founded. Sir
Edward says. in part:
"In the present condition of Ireland
it seems to me little short Of insanity
for any government to reopen the
question of home rule. This.
indeed, is craftsmanship manufactured
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 alliance with those
whose object is to gain vantage
ground for enforcing further separa-
ton policies"
