OF ATTEMPT TO
DECEIVE IRISH
John Dillon and Other Irishmen,
Meeting in Dublin, Pass a ResOlu-
tion Condemping the English Gov
ernment for Its Stand on Con-
scriptiOn and Home Rule.
(By Associated Press)

Dublin, Thursday, May 16.-After a
meeting with forty-five members Of
the Irish party, John Dillon, the ma
tionalist leader, issued a statement to
the effect that Irish conscription was
adopted by parliament largely under
the impression that no attempt would
be made to use the power until the
Irish government and parliament is
called into power.
The latest developments, the state
ment says, lead to the conviction that
the government has no intention of
introducing a home rule bill and the
primises were made for the purpose
Of deceiving the House Of Commons
and theBritish public, likewise the
American government and people, and
all the allied European nations, thus
prejudicing the cause of Ireland.
The House of Commons adjounded
until May % without any sign Of pass
ing the long delayed Ihish home rule
bill. Apparently the members of the
COVE nment have no idea when it will
be introduced.
