IRISH QUESTION
MUST Be SETTLED
uOyd-GeOrge TO Resign II Home
Rule Bill Fails.
MAN POWER BILL ADOPTED

Nationalist Leader Dillon Declares In
a Speech In the House Of Com
mons That II conscrlptlon Is APP
piled, ireland Will Be Turned Into
Another BeIgium-Lloyd-George on
the Battle Situation.
London, April 17-George N
Barnes, Labor member of the war cab.
met without portfolio, announced in
the house Of commons that the gov.
ernment intended 10 introduce q
home rule bill Immediately and would
use every pressure to pass it. Mr..
Barnes announced that the Lloyd
George government would resign il
the house of lords refused to pass the
new home rule bill.
Premier Lloyd-GeoTge himself said
in the house Of commons: at is de-
sirable, in the interests Of the war,
that we should settle the Irish ques-
tion and produce something like con
tentment in Ireland and good will
in America"
The home rule bill is considered as
being supplementary to the conscrip
tion bill, the provisions of which ap-
ply to Ireland.
The third reading Of the govern
ment's man-power bill was carried by
a vote Of 301 to 103.
In the report stage of the mar
power bill, John Dillon, chairman of
the Irish Nationalists, moved the
omission Of the Irish clause and
pressed the government to give its
real plans. He recommended that the
government go to the counties Of
Antrim and Down and try to hold
conscription meetings. That, ne said
would open the government's eyes.
Doubtless the giving of home rule
would produce a great effect, but at
the present time the government ap.
peared neither able to carry On the
war successfully nor accept peace;
neither able to govern Ireland nor al
low Ireland to govern herself.
Mr. Dillon said he mad been 40
years in public life during some Of
the stormiest periods of Irish history,
but he solemnly warned the govern
ment that he never bad known any,
thing to approach the feeling in Ire
land today. If conscription was ap-
piled, the chaos and confusion ensu-
Ing would be appalling and, he de-
clared ireland would be turned into
another Belgium.
Referring to the situation at the
front, Premier Lloyd-George said
THE tuctuation between hope and
despondency must continue for some
time yet. But l am still full of conf
dence General Plumer lin command |
at Messines 1idge) is quite confident.
We have lost territory, but we have
lost nothing vital"

WOULDKILL
PRESIDENT

From arrests in Bilckcreek and
Liberty township last Tuesday there
aeemc to be a nest of German SYM
pathizers in that seek Of the woods.
For some time there has been rumors
OF traitorous talk emlnating from
there, but not until Tuesday has any
thing been done to put stop to It,
There was little surprise when Sc
cret Service Officer John e. Washer,
Of Clevelasd, and officer John Heis-
tan, of this city placed E. T. Berry
Of BlacEcreek and Fred Kable, OF
Liberty, under arrest, charged with
threatenisg the life of President
Wilson and with traitorous talk.
Berry is n years old and a veter-
an of the Civil War, drawing a pen
sion of about $50 a month. He re-
sides with son VIM. Berry He was
not taken isto custody. but his case
is to be further investigated
Kable was arrested and brought to
this city and Tuesday night taken to
Toledo by Officer Washer. where he
was expected to be arraigned before
the U. S. Commission, Wednesday.
That there are any sympathizers
with the butchers Of Germany is this
county is regrettable, and every
means should be employed to ferret
them out They should be put where
the dogs won't bite them in the more
moderate cases, and when the war is
over they should be stripped OF their
belongings and shipped over to Ger
many. Is rank cases they should be
stood up against a wall and filled full
Of lead.

time their progress has been re-
ported. First their arrival at
Aqua Prieta, then at Cananea,
and now at .Nogales, having

Yesterday evening there ar
rived by the Benson train the
instruction car of the Southern
Pacific, which is upon its regu-
lar rounds over the entire Po-
cific. system, extending from
Portland, Ore, to Ogden, Utah,
and to Ell Paso, Tex.
The car is in charge of Mr..

of the system, stopping the
time necessary at each division
point, requires about two years,
1t was at Nogales last two years
years ago in the month of Feb
ruary.
The object of the service is to
determine that all the employees
of the Southern Paefic connect
ed with the movement of trains
are proficient in their know
ledge of their duties, which is
done by examinations of individ-
uals in their respective lines,
and giving them instruction
wherever they appear not posted
or hazy.
The instruction force consists
of a train dispatcher, an engi-
neer, and conductor. The train
dispatcher examines and in
structs all Of the men subject
conductors, engineers, brake
men and telegraph operators,
sitting out their knowledge of
receiving and acting upon tele-
gaprhic orders for movement of
trains; the engineer examines
engineers and firemen; and the
conductor examines conductors
and trainmen.
The care is in charge of Mr..
IF. L. Nichols of San Francisco.

til the train goes to Tucson at 2
o'clock this afternoon, when it
will be attached to that and con-.

New York.-Standardiz of
mems dress has already become more
than a mere tentative suggestion. New
York papers carried the story of sug-
gested regulations infmen's attire, on
the front page, few weeks ago along
with the war news, the coal shortage
in New York, the thirteen-below-zero
temperature, and other striking hap
penings of a day and generation in
which exciting events have become al
most commonplace The Importance
of the further suggestions, emanating
from the economy board, was immedi-
ately recognized, and, with front page
space at a premium, as it is today, the
story was deemed of sufficient moment
to be given a place of honor. There
was nothing extremely radical In the
ideas advanced, prominent fashion
writer states. They included some OF
the suggestions already made at the
now historic meeting Of dressmakers,
manufacturers, retailers, fashion writ
ers and editors, and others held at the
Waldorf, to discuss the adoption OF
the slim silhouette, with view to linn
iting the consumption Of wool. One
of the SPEAKERS, at that meeting, drew
attention to the fact, that though there
was not a man in the room who was
wearing what might be calied a con-
spicuous or individual style of cloth in
his clothes. yet there were in all prob

actly the same pattern.
Among twenty men in blue serge,
each will have suit made from diff
ferent weave and dye. This is waste
Of effort and material which might be
remedied : and suggestions for limiting
patterns of conservative materials for
mems wear, were made in the interest
of war, time economy. The same ideas
have been applied to the manufacture
of stuffs for mems shirts, and even to
their shoes and neckties. Results Of
Impressive benefit to the community at
large, to our allies and to our own
fighting men, are promised if these re
forms are carried into fact.
So far, no such proposition has been
made with regard to the industries
which deal with the dressing of wom-
en-. In fact, the pressure of opinion
has been very definitely against stand
ardization Of feminine attire in any
form. In the belligerent countries,
which, after all, are our best and only
really practical guides in this matter,

clothing of their people is not new.
We read of sumptuary laws all
through the middle ages, and of the
defiance of them by the wives and
daughters of the burghers, who could
not prevent their womenfolk from
adopting material, furs and velvets, re-
served by royal decree for the aristoc-
racy.
The aristocracy of Florence would
notice the fur-lined sleeves of the mer-
chants wife, and one of them-prob-
ably very well-born and hard-favored
lady-would be sure to complain to
her husband, who then, if he valued
his peace, would bring the matter to
the attention of the authorities. Often
the offending wife would be brought
to justice; quite as often she would
escape. At any rate, punishment of
fines and imprisonments never seemed
to leave the nobility in the enjoyment
of their privileges, for all history and
memoirs of the times are full of cases
of such rebellion.
If our government should make any
such decree, In our day, we should
probably see very little opposition to
1t. The country seems to be in con-
dition of amazing docility. Who would
have believed that few short months
