ULSTER TO HAVE.
VETO POWER IN
NEW PARL|AMEN Mt
Lloyd George Favors Plan To
Safeguard Ulster Interests
Against Conflict.

of The Associated Press)-A plan to
safeguard the interests of Ulster by
giving its representatives u veto pow
er in the proposed new Irish Parlia-
with Ulster interests. has been char
acterized by Premier Lloyd George as
"a workable expedient." This fact
has Just been disclosed by making
public letter which the Premier
wrote to- Sir Horace Plunkett, chair
man Of the Irish Convention some
time ago when the convention became
deadlOcked over the Ulster question
and sent delegates to confer with the
Premier in London.
"The government understands
wrote Mr. Lloyd George, that it has
been suggested that safeguard of
Ulster interests might be secured by
provision of an Ulster Committee
within the Irish Parliament with pow
er to modify and if necessary, to ex-
clude the application to Ulster of GER
tain measures either of legislation or
administration which are not consO.
nant with the interests of Ulster. This
appears to be workable expedient,
whereby special consideration of VI
ster conditions can be secured nd the
objections to the single legislature for
Ireland overcome"
UNiONiSTS OPPOSED
Despite the Premier's approval of
to the Irish Convention declined to
participate in any scheme of self-gov-
ernment for Ireland.
Outlining broadly the views of the
British government on the irish Home
Rule question. Premier Lloyd George
wrOteNtO Sir Horace Plunkett as fol-
lows:
Questions Of which there is an
acute difference of opinion in Ireland
and Great Britain must be held over
for determination until after the war"
The Premier considered the control
Of the Irish customs an excise one
of the problems which must await the
conclusion Of peace, for he added:
| "The government suggest that, dur
ing the period of the war and for the
period of two years thereafter the
control OF customs and excise should
be reserved to the United Kingdom
Parliament: that as soon as possible
after the Irish Parliament has been
established n Joint Exchequer Board
should he set up to secure the deter
mination of the true revenues of Ire
land" ...-s.
NO TRANSFER
He explained TO Sir Horace in the
letter, "that II would be practically i'm
possible to make such a distribution
of the fiscal and financial relations of
Great Britain and ireland in the mids,
of the great war" as would result in
an attempt to transfer of the Irish
Parliament control to the Irish Gus
toms.
"The government consider" wrot,
The Premier, that during the periO,

 CHAPTER XIV.
The croix de cuerre.

When we had been on the shore for about three weeks we found our selves one morning somewhere near Sedd-el-Bahr under the heaviest fire I ever experienced. Our guns and the Turks were at 1t full blast. and the noise was worse than deafening
 A section of my company was lying out in shell hole near the commu- nication trench with nothing 10 do but wait for shell to find them. We were stiff and thirsty and unconfort- able and had not slept for two nights. h that time we had been under con- stant fire and had stood off several raiding parties and small attacks from enemy trenches.
 We had no sooner got used to the shell hole and were making ourselves as comfortable as possible in it when along came a shell Of what must have been the Jack Johnson size. and We were swamped. We had to dig three of the men out, and though one of them was badly wounded we could not send him back to the hospital. In fact, the smelling was so heavy that none of us ever expected to come out of it alive.
 So, 1t was like keeping your own death watch, with the shells tuning up for the diree. II was impossible to listen to the shells. If you kept your mind on the noise for any length of time it would split your eardrums. am sure. So all we could do was to lay low in the shell hole and wait for something to happen.
 Then they began using shrapnel on us, and one Of cur machine gunners, who got up from his knees n change

When 1 got into the dugout agaIh the man was coming to. He was just about as near shell shock as I had been-by this time I was shiverng only once in q while, when I did not watch myself. He said four men had been sliced up trying to get to us be- fore he came; that they had lost Il men out of their 32, including the sergeant-major in command and two corporals; that they were almost out of ammunition; that the trenches on both sides of them had been blown in and that they were likely to go to pieces at any moment. He said they all thought the Turks would attack behind their barrage, for he said the curtain of fire did not extend more than hundred yards in front of their trench. What they wanted us to do was to relay man back with the news and either get the word to ad- vance or retire or await reinforce ments, they did not care which-oniy to be ordered to do something There was not commissioned officer left with either of the detachments, you see. and you might say we were up in the air-only we were really as far in the ground as We could get.
 The man thought there were other of our lines not far behind us. but we knew better: so then he said he did not see how any one could get back from there to our nearest lines. I did not see either. Then we all fig ured we were forgotten and would not come out of there alive. and you can believe me or not, but did not much care. Anything would be better than

position, had his head taken clean of landed near ny feet and squirmed a little, like chicken that had just been killed. IL was awful to see the body without any head move around that way, and We could hardly make our selves touch il for some time. Then we rolled it 10 the other side of the hole.
 Then, to ore side of us, there was a more violent explosion than any yet. The earth srauted up and fell on us. and big clouds cf black smoke. sliding along the ground. covered our shell hole and hung there for some time. One of our sergeants, from the regular French infantry. said it was shell from a Turkish l55-mm. bowitzer. That was only the first one. The worst thing about them was the smoke people who think Pittsburgh is smoky ought to see about fifty of those big howitzer shells bursting, one after another.
 We could not .ell what the rest Of our line was doing or how we were standing the awful fire, but We felt sure they were not having any worse time than we were. In few minutes we heard the good old "75s" start pounding, and 1t WAS like hearing an old friends voice over the telephone, and everybody in our shell hole eheered, though no one could hear us and We could barely hear each other. Still we knew that if the "75s" got going in their usual style they would do for an enemy battery or two. and that looked good to us. The "75s" made the noise worse, but 1t was al ready about as had as it could be. and thousand guns more or less would not have made it any harder to stand.
 One of our men shouted in the ser geant's ear that the men in line ahead of us and to the right were trying to give us a message of some kind. The

in the head, eyes, ears, back or other parts of the body and a feeling of se- were sickness. In most of the cases the symptoms disappear after three or four days, the patient then rapidly recover ing. Some of the patients, however, develop pneumonia, or inflammation of the ear, or meningitis, and many of these complicated cases die. Whether identical with the epidemics of infiuen- ga of earlier years is not yet known.
 "Epidemics of influenza have visited this country since 1647. It is interest ing to know that this first epidemic was brought here from Valencia, Spain. Since that time there have been numerous epidemics of the dis ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic of influenza, starting somewhere in the Orient, spread first to Russia and thence over practically the entire civ iized world. Three years later there was another fiare-up of the disease Both times the epidemic spread wide ly over the United States.
 Although the present epidemic is called Spanish influenza, there is no reason to believe that it originated in Spain. Some writers who have studied the question believe that the epidemic came from the Orient and they call at tentiOn to the fact that the Germans mention the disease as occurring along the eastern front in the summer and fall of 1917"
 How can Spanish influenza" be rec oonixed7
 "There Is as yet no certain way in which single. case of Spanish infiu- enZa' can be recognized. On the oth- CT hand, recognition is easy where there is a group of cases. In contrast to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs l and colds, which usually occur in the cold months, epidemics of influenza may occur at any season of the year. Thus the present epidemic ragged most intensely in Europe in May, June and July. Moreover, in the case of ordi- nary colds, the general symptoms | (fever. pain. depression) are by no means as severe or as sudden in their onset as they are in influenza Final ly, ordinary colds do not spread through the community so rapidly or so extensively as does influenza.
 In most cases a person taken sick with influenza feels sick rather sud denly. He feels weak, has pains in the 1 eyes, ears. head or back. and may be | sore all over Many patients feel i dizzy. some vomit Most of the pa tieDts complain of feeling chilly. and ! with this comes a fever in which the 1 temperature rises to 100 to 104. Tn most cases the pulse remains relative ! ly slow
 Tn appearance one is struck by the fact that the patient looks sick. His eyes and the inner side of his eyelids i may be slightly .bleodshot.' or con gested. as the doctors say. There may be running from the nose, or there may be some cough. These signs If cold may not be marked; never theless the patient looks and feels very | sick.

 Our sergeant said he would not ask any man to attempt to carry the mes sage, because he said it was not only certain death, but absolutely useless, And he began to show that he was near shell shock himself.
 Then I began to shiver again, and ] thought to myself that anything would be better than sitting in this hole wait ing to go "cafard." so decided to vol unteer did not think there was any chance to get through, but it seemed as if l just had to do something, nc matter what. had never felt that way before, and had never been anxious to 'go vest with shell for company, but I have felt that way since then several times, I can tell you.
 The man was telling us that some time before they had seen the Turks bringing up ammunition from some storehouses, but they did not come anywhere near. He said their sergeant

 Then our sergeant asked the name of the other sergeant, and when the man told him he said the man was ;,, command and would have to be obeyed
 He seemed to cheer up lot after he said this and did not shiver any more. so l thought I would volunteer then, so l said to him, "Well, mon vieux, do you think we are seeing real smelling now?'' And then I was going to say 1 would go, but he looked at me in funny way for second and then said, Well, my son, suppose you go and find out.''
 l thought he was kidding me at first, but then I saw he meant it. thought two things about it-one was that any thing was better than staying there, and the other was that the old dugout was pretty fair place after all. But l did not say anything to the ser geant or the other men-just went out of the dugout. The sergeant and another man went with me and boost ed me over the back wall of the hole. I lay fiat on the ground for a minute to get my bearings. and then started off.
 l set my course for where I thought the communication trenches were, to the right, and I just stood up and ran. for 1 figured that as the shells were falling so thick and it was open ground I would not have any better chance if crawIed
 1 ripped several times and went down, and each time thought I was hit, because when I got il in the thigh at Dixmuae 1t felt good deal as though I had ripped over a rope And one time when I fell a shell ex- ploded near me and I began to shivei again. and I could not go on for 8 long time. All this time I did not think would get through, but finally when I reached what had been the communication trench l felt I had done the worst part of it, and began to wish very hard that I would get through--I was not at all crazy about going west.
