New and Powerful Argument in
Favor of Settlement of
Strife. ):
BY Webster

LONDON. January 24-The Tele-
grams Dublin correspondent states
that a report from Washington that
the United States is prepared to loan
Ireland f2o.0o0,0oo to obtain the full
est measure of home rule and American
capitalists are ready to invest a like
sum in Ireland if the question is set
tied, is prominently displayed in all
est interest
The Dublin correspondent of the
Times says that the report furnishes
the friends of a settlement with a new
and powerful argument and will serve
to increase the disrepute Of the Sim
Fein policy, whose violence and abuse
ernment of the United States.
Dublin reports regarding the Irish
convention continue hopeful. Dis
patches to the Chronicle contain mys-
terious reference to certain eventuali-
ties following the convention" which
might induce John f. Redmond to re-
gard his retirement from leadership as
obligatory and makes an earnest plea
in Redmond's behalf. saying:
IF he is driven from his position
wherein he would feel obliged to resign
because Of any action. or failure on the
part OF those who get support from
him, the cause of Ireland, as far as
the war is concernea, would go down
with him and all consequences would
have to be faced with what would
appear TO be betrayal of Ireland, for SO
the world would read what would an

Full Confidence in Haig,

James Ian Macpherson, parliamentary
secretary to the war office, replying
to criticisms, after protesting against
what he termed the cruel charges
against most distinguished general
at time when he had no opportunity
for defending himself, declared unhesi-
tatingly that the government had full
confidence in the field marshal. Mr. Mac
Pherson said he could not speak for
the war cabinet, but that he could
speak for the war office and the army
council, and he asserted that from the
time Gen. Haig took command up to the
present moment he never had lost the
confidence of those bodies
The secretary admitted that there
was a breakdown at Cambria, but he
pointed out that the general staff knew
on November % an attack was intend
ed for the Both. He could not go be-
yond Chancellor Bonar Laws previous
statement on the subject of the inquiry
held. said Mr.. Macpherson, but he
would repeat that the breakdown was
not a fault of the general staff
Circumstances Blamed.
The disposition of the troops Mr..
MACPHERSON added, was as good as
could possibly have been made, and
the war cabinet came to the conclusion
that nobody should be sacrificed for
the reverse, which could not possibly
have been avoided owing to the nature
of the circumstances. which could not
be overcome.
The secretary said there was a break
down at this particular point of the
line, but there was no salient there.
Inequality of forces existed at this
particular spot despite the fact that
the general staff took all necessary
precautions. 1t has been asked, he said,
why reinforcements were lacking. AS
a matter of fact they were ready be-
hind the lines in most perfect DISPOSE
ton, and history would show why they
We're there. If they had not been there
he was not sure what the result would
have been. There was no intention to
publish the result of the inquiry, said
Mr.. MACPHERSON. There had been no
Withdrawals from the front of any
persons from the higher command. He
thought the war cabinet already had
shown that when necessary it would
withdraw generally, and if in the
present case the cabinet had been as
sured that the higher command was
blamable, he made bold to say that it
would have changed the higher COM
mand.

MANY POTATOES; PRICES HIGH
Report Says Banner Crop Precludes
Loss if Dealers Act Fair,

Potatoes are the one great food re-
source of the world upon which there
is no danger of heavy loss IL farmers
sell freely. large dealers move stocks
rapidly and retailers content themselves
with the smallest possible margin of
profit, says the Department of Agricul-
ture.
The potato situation is serious, ac-
cording to the department. The total
production in 1917 is estimated to have
been 442.536, 900 bushels. or the largest
crop ever produced in the United
states. Notwithstanding this fact.
prices from the time of digging to the
present have ruled higher than in any
previous year on record with the ex-
ception of last year, when the crop was
abnormally short.

NO M|UTAR|SM IN
UNIVERSAL TRAINING
Howard S. Gross, Head of
League, Ridicu|es Idea 1t
Perverts Citizenship.

That no republic ever became miitaris-
tic and that none ever can become So is
the declaration of Howard S. Gross, presi-
dent of the Universal Military Training
League, in a statement issue dtoday. In
his statement Mr. Gross ridicules the idea
that six months of intensive discipline and
training could possibly convert young
Americans from good and desirable citi-
zens into menaces to their country. Mr.
Gross statement follows:
THE most senseless and the most COM
mon objection to universal military train
ing is that it may lead to militarsn. The
answer is not only complete, but COM
pelling.
NO republic ever became militaristic
and none can ever become SO. Military
domination requires kaiser, king or
czar. with power to declare war, plus a
strong army subject to his control. Mill
tarism and it's purpose is aggressive war
fare for the acquisition of territory or of
indemnites. The world knows that the
United States not only does not seek ad-
ditional territory. but has actually declined
to take it.
Refers to Cuba and Philippines.
I'VE had Cuba: we paciaed 1t twice,
helped it on its feet gave 1t protection
and turned it back to it's people; a pro-
ceeding unique in history.
''By the fortunes of war. unsought and
unexpected, the Philippines came into
our possession; by law and custom they
belonged to us; Notwithstanding this
we paid our defeated adversary forty
millions of dollars for them. If we had
held the Prussian viewpoint we would
have kept the islands and compelled
Spain to pay US several times forty
millions as indemnity.
when China paid the indemnity to
the various nations on account of the
Boxer rebellion America. alone and
without hesitation, returned the full
our then great Secretary, John Hay
unhappy country and secured the open
door that now seems to be slowly
closing.
Outside of Germany the world would
hail with delight the strengthening of
our position 50 we may always have a
strong right arm to help maintain, by
force if needs be, the peace and Sc
curity of the world. Therefore, the
adoption by us of universal obligatory
military training would have no crit
icism outside of Germany and her open
and under-cover allies.
Such training will AmericaniZe the
nation, it will build up it's citizenship
in strength, endurance, in obedience to
law, and secure national safety and eff
ficiency."
