LONDON, April 20.-England's great
est domestic problem in these anxious
days is not the position of labor or the
economic situation or the problem Of
financing the war, but Ireland. 1t is a
domestic affair, but has become also an
international question.
The news from Ireland this weekend
is bad. That is the Interpretation even
of those who are most hopeful of an
amicable settlement of the problem
which has plagued England so many
times in the past and which now rises

days of her long history.
Ireland is finally united. National
lists, Ulstermen and Sim Feiners are
to-day all of one mind. But their
unity is based upon the opposition to
the Pollcy of conscription to which the
british government is committed. Not
only the leaders of these erstwhile war
ring political parties have reached a
common agreement, but twenty-seven
Dishops, representing fourteen hum

conscription in Ireland is an outrage
and gross violation of the national
rights of Ireland"
The resolutions continue that the
history Of the relations between the
two countries, the ruin and decay of
the Irish population under English
domination and the manner in which
lreland's generous offer at the out
break of the war was treated, "cruelly
intensified the shameless character Of
the present proposal"
In conclusion, the resolutions pledge
the party's influence and power to de-
feat conscription.
Fifteen hundred delegates OF trades
unions, meeting at the Mansion House
to-day, pledged resistance to conscrip-
tlon, and fixed next Tuesday as the day
for the stoppagc of all work as u sign
of this resolve and to enable all work
ers to sign the pledge Of resistance.
The delegates included representatives
from Belfast, Cork, Londonderry and

was condemned for supporting Irish
conscription without Irish consent, "al-

that English labor bodies should be

55 of Irish Party
Stay in Ireland
To Oppose Draft
fBy The Associated Press]

DUBLIN, April 20.-Fifry-ive mem
bcrs of the Irish party met here to-
day, and, with John Dillon presiding,
unanimously passed a resolution chat
in the present crisis we are of the
opinion that the highest and most i'm
mediate duty of the members of this
party is to remain in Ireland and
actively cooperate with their con-
stituents in opposing the enforcement
of the compulsory military service in
Ireland. The enforcement of compul-
sorry military service on a nation with
out its assent constitutes one of the
most brutal acts of tyranny and op-
preston of which any government can
be guilty. The present proposal of the
Lloyd George government to enforce

government? Having forced through,
the measure for conscription IN lrelano
on the ground that it would be an m
Justice to raise the age limit in the
united Kingdom without compelling
the 1rishmen to accept their share OF
the burden of the war, the vernment
agreed that conscription should not be
warning in the House of Commons, and
also promised to speed up the Home
Rule scheme, upon the passage OF
which in both houses it stakes its exist
ence.
If Lloyd George succeeds-and there
is little danger Of failure-1reland will
soon have a parliament. The scheme
will be fought every step of the way
through both houses.
Once parliament is set up in Dublin
the question Of Irish conscription
a month ago. Few politicians believe
that any British government would at
tempt to force conscription If the Irish
parliament were opposed to it.
Tribunals would have to be set up
throughout the country. If they were
composed of Irishmen it is believed
that practically every applicant would
obtain exemption. If they were COM
posed of the military there would be
thousands of Irishmen who would offer
resistance. That is not pretty plct-
ure at this period of the war.
There may be little sympathy for the
Irish attitude, but the situation must
be faced as it exists.
To many Irishmen. the principle Of
Home Rule is greater issue than
those for which the Allies are sacrl-
ticing so much. There may be little
patience with that attitude, but it must
be accepted as a fact.
However, there is brighter side to
the situation. 1t begins to look as if
the Nationalists are on the eve of an
important victory arising out of Eng
lands difficulty If they obtain Home
Rule, leaders like Joseph Dcvlin are
pledged to do everything possible to
raise voluntary army. Ireland ad-
mires and respects strong leadership,
and it is confidently believed that a
big voluntary army could be raised by
Devlin and his colleagues.
Many consider that this will prove
the ultimate solution. Its influence
among the conservatives, mention of
whom was made in these dispatches
yesterday. is far-reaching. Old reac-
tionary methods are passing rapidly in
these times of profound change. and
progress is no longer confined to Labor
and Liberal circles. The greatest radi-
to-day are found among the soldiers
men who have suffered most and who
are best qualified to speak for Britain.

The Editors Mail Bag

To the Editor of The Forum:
l have read with much interest your article in
september ISSUE regarding the merger fund
campaign for the welfare organizations doing
work with the United States army 1t seems to
me that all of the newspapers overlooking a
wonderful chance to help the work, and help the
government in this connection. If it is so desr-
able to merge the campaign for funds into one
great drive and IT, as you state, the organi-
cations are sinking their individuality for
the best good Of the nation, and for more econ
omfcal securing of necessary funds, why would it
not be still more desirable to permanently merge
all seven Of the organizations into one All Amer
lean" body and thus secure the greatest efficiency
and economy?
AS it now stands we have seven different or
CARNATIONS. all good. Each requires governing
body and more or less overlaps it's work on The
others.

fused into an irresistible body by being all
merged into one great army under supreme
command me necessity in our own country of
merging our railroads under single control,
to insure more efficient movement of war ma
terals is another evidence Of the necessity of
centrating our efforts.
Let raise all the money the country needs
for war welfare work, but let US concentrate all

from the seven present organizations proper
toned on the percentage of funds each body is to
receive from this chest fund
To allow several separate organizations to ex-
list and not allow the right to decide which
ones we will contribute to Is un-American and
unconstitutional, in my opinion but to merge the
funds into one great fund, and merge the organi.
cations at the time, into one great efficient
organization is plan that should appeal to every
loyal American regardless of race or creed.
1t seems to me that The Forum and other
newspapers Of this country do no more pa
triotic act than to Immediately urge that in the
interest Of efficiency and economy the seven or.
CARNATIONS now doing welfare work be at
once merged into one great war work organza-
ton by our President, in addition to the merg-
ing of the campaign for funds. Very truly yours

ADD IT TO THE BILL.

Why not just put these burned villages
on Germany's bill?
Day after day the dispatches tell of the
German army burning villages as it re-
treats. It seems to be the settled policy of
the Hun to leave nothing Of value behind
him; no growing thing; no building. Every
thing is ruthlessly and wantonly destroyed.
The peace treaty cannot bring back the
murdered women and children, but it can
compel the Germans to make good the
losses they are now inflieting on France
in spirit of sheer vindictiveness.
Here is one place the old maxim of ''an
eye for an eye' should be enforced. If
the German army is to continue its retire
ment from France, it should be made clear
to. the German government and the German
people that they will be made to pay for
every bit of property not Of military value
which they destroy.

Charles A. Lindbergh for position of i'm
portance in the publicity campaign Of the
War Industries board.
Such an appointment would promptly
have been construed by the Townley gang
and its newspapers as an Endorsement of
Mr.. Lindbergh's whole war record. They
would not have seen in it return of the
prodigal. They would not have accepted
it as the suing for pardon and the granting
of absolution from past sins. On the con.
trary, they would have hailed it with glee
as proof Of complete justification Of Mr.
Lindbergh, and they would have been able
to shout it loud enough to make many be-
heve it. #
This would have been direct slap in the
face for the thousands of loyal Minnesotans
who fought Mr. Lindbergh, not from politi-
cal reasons, but purely on a loyalty issue
an issue which Mr.. Lindbergh himself
raised in his book.
1t is evident that the Bolshevik element
in the administration doesn t control it yet.

Military Titles

From The Stars and Stripes, France
When William Allen White wrote biography
Of William Rockh Nelson, he was at loss to
account for the title OF colonel, inasmuch as his
subject had never been connected with military
establishment nor had even been on a governors
staff. Finally, Mr.. White concluded that he
called colonel simply because he was Just nat
urally coloneiferous".
AS we look over letters and papers from
home 1t strikes us that there are going to be
lot of coloneliferous people at large after the
war; not only coloneliferous, but rnajorcal, cap
tanic and lieutenantish. ..-
There seem to be, both at home and abroad SO
many organizations outside the army-the Re
serve Auxiliary Police forces, the Home Guards,
the Junior Reserves, to mention only few
having the bestowing Of military titles one of
their most important functions that it will not
surprise us at all, return, to find every
masculine citizen past the age of 81 years boast
ing a sobriquet that denotes some form or an
other Of commissioned rank.
Good morning, colonel" "How'de, major?
"Ah, there, cap'n'. Thus 1t will CO. all up and
down the main street of our home town And
how proud and novel and singular and note
worthy and everything the average one of us will
feel to be pointed out the only real private in

A bruise requires little treatment
unless it is severe one. In such
cases cold water or ice packs are
good. Apply half water and half
alcohol
AS our bones are extremely
brittle they often are snapped by a
fall or blow gained in some outdoor
game. A broken bone or fracture is
the commonest of severe injuries.
There are two kinds of fractures
simple and compound. In the for
mer the bone is broken, but the
Jagged end does not protrude
through the skin In a compound
fracture the broken end Of bone
pierces the skin. ---,-s-s L. -
First aid for a simple fracture
requires careful attention to see that
the sharp edge Of the broken bone
does not pierce the skin and become
a compound fracture before the doc
tor can be summoned.
If there is doctor nearby do not
attempt to remove the patient. Let
the injured limb rest comfortably on
"a pillow or rolled-up coat and wait
for the physicians arrival. In lift
ing the broken limb to the pillow
or bolster care must be taken to
keep the bone from bending at the
break. To do this properly put one
hand under the limb and the other
above the fracture. Then lift with
both hands at once. Make sure that
the limb is not bent when you have
it in place on the pillow.
If itv is necessary to move the
patient before a doctor arrives YOU
must set the fracture and hold it in
place with splints. Setting frac-
ture means putting the bone in the
same position it was in before
broken. This can be done by gently
pulling the injured limb into it's
natural position. When it looks like
the other uninjured member you can
be fairly sure that it Is in the right
