Lansdowne Throws Aside
Old Antagonisrns to
Welcome Measure
Home Rule Progresses
Act Applicable to Scotland
Wales and England Also,
Generally Favored

LONDON, April 1.-THE House of
Lords to-day passed the second reading
Of the governments man power Dill.
The Marquis of Lansdowne, discussing
the bill heartily welcomed the meas
ure.
"Our duty" he said. "is to help en-
courage the gallant army to the utmost
of our ability. I feel so strongly on
this point that I am quite ready to
throw to the winds many old notions
and antagonisms, and I believe that
this can be done without harm to con-
sistency or the pledges Of the govern
ment 1t would be very different un-
der less serious circumstances.
81 could, however. have wished that
the government had fixed the age Unit
lower, and l canot help thinking that
the extension of conscription to Ire
land is very doubtful wisdom. 1t is
still more Objectionable that this part
Of the question should be linked up
with Home Rule"
Progress on Home Rule Bill
While Nationalist Ireland is making
plans for resistance to conscriptioJ,
the rest of the United Kingdom is in
terested in the Home Rule bill which
the government, according to George
Nicoll Barnes, will introduce and pass
or fall in the attempt.
A committee consisting of such for
mer anti-Home Rulers as Walter Hume
Long, ]. Austen Chamberlain and A. w.
Samuels, Solicitor General for Ireland,
with Mr.. Barnes, which has been en-
gagged in drafting the bill, held sec
ond meeting yesterday and reported it
had made rapid progress.
The Home Rule bill, it is understood,
will take the form of measure amend
ing the government of Ireland act
o. the war, but the operation of which
was suspended for the period of the
war General opinion favors federal
measure which could be made applca-
BILE to Scotland, Wales and England.
Several motions suggesting the in
PRODUCTION Of a federal system already
have appeared in the House of Com
mons, while a large majority of those
Unionlsts who have become converts
to Home Ruls also favor that system.
Never, on the surface at any rate,
Of getting form of government.
At a meeting of the Unionist War
Committee last night, several speakers
urged that every possible effort be made
to reach Home Rule settlement, even
at the cost of cherished principles.
According to the "Daily Telegraph
Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster leader,
spoke in the interest of Ulster. No
resolution, the paper says, was adopted,
but the balance of feeling was that the
government must proceed cautiously.
With all the Liberals, Laborites, Ma
tionalists and large part of the
Unionists supporting the bill, it should
have an easy passage in the House of
Commons. What the House of Lords
will do is uncertain, but with two for
mer anti Home Rulers, Earl Curzon and
Viscount Miner, supporting it, the op-
position is likely to be less strenuous
than on former occasions.
The Irish Nationalist members of
Parliament, having fought conscription
to the last in the House of Commons,
are leaving for Dublin to formulate
plans for resisting it.

An allied force of-say an army corps

left Petrograd on February II, and it
took him nearly two months to reach
New York.

by hundreds of thousands of Russians,
could proceed practically unchecked
into European Russia and could at least
occupy if not defeat large force of

Russia is not nearly so badly hurt
as people seem to think. The Bolshe-
wiki have simply disorganized every
thing. Order can be restored and new
armies created where there is material

Germany has received no food sup

of Riga and the Baltic provinces. There
is no food in the rest of European Rus

Siberia, but Siberia is not shipping any

Bullet Pierced FIandkerchiefs That Had Covered

PARIS, April 17.-Standing before a
firing squad in the forest of Vincennes
early to-day, Paul Bolo Pacha, con-
demned traitor, lost entirely the atti

subsequent to and during his trial.
When the order to fire was given the

several bullets in his head and heart
Escorted by several guards, Bolo left
the Sante prison forty-fve minutes be-
fore his execution. After leaving the
automobile ct Vincennes he listened to
the exhortation of prison chaplain.
Then his eyes were bandaged and he
went without a struggle to his place
before the firing squad.

This first letter caused the Allies to
demand explanations, and as conse-

President Poincare and M. Ribot. The
Allies decided that the second lette,

conversations.
The "Temps" points out that the two
classes of facts with which the govern

equal Importance. The first, connected
with the Emperor's two letters, it says
are of serious import; the second, con-

There has been no previous mention
of two letters from Emperor Charles to

been published that referring to the
