HOME RULE WILL
mot QUIET IRISH
FOR CONSUMPTION
Dillon Tells Commons Gov
ernment "Guillotine Meth
odS" Should Not Be Used

London. April 12.-Promise of a
Home Rule bill by the government
has not had the slightest effect in
easing the way to conscription in
Ireland, according to dispatches
from Dublin. The Unionists will not
sit quiet and allow the bill to be rush
ed through. The Nationalist are
more concerned in the defeat of con-
scription than i'm obtaining home
rule In consequence the situation as
regards home rule at present is that
nobody wants it.
John Dillon. Irish Nationalist lead
er in the House of Commons yester-
day said he understood motorcars,
machine guns and tanks already had
been shipped and were sailing away
from the battle front toward Ireland.
Mr.. Dillon pleaded strongly against
what he termed the government S
"guillotine methods"
Unsettled Condition Disturbs
The Irish convention laid the
foundation for an agreement on the
Irish question which is unprecedent-
ed in history, Sir Horace Plunkett,
chairman of the convention, says in
a letter accompanying the report OF
that body.
I'VE had every reason to believe
the government contemplated imme-
diate legislation upon the results of
our labor" says Sir Horace. The
work of an Irish settlement, it is now
felt, admits of no further postpone
ment. In the dominions and the
United States as we'll as the allied
countries, the unsettled Irish ques-
ton is a disturbing factor, both as
regards war efforts and peace aims.

GEN. FOCH PICKED
BY u. S. TO LEAD
ALLIED ARMIES
American Soldiers Flowing
Across Atlantic in Great
Stream

Washington, April 12.-The Unit
ed States exacted from the British
government the acceptance of Gen
eral Foch and uniication of all
forces opposing Germany before con-
sent was given to brigade American
soldiers with English and French
fighting units.
The greatest sacrifice is not ours.
The pride of the English in their
troops and military leaders has been
subordinated to the needs OF the
hour. American soldiers are afford
ed an opportunity for active service
which otherwise might not have
been realized until the crucial stage
of the struggle had passed.
The inestimable advantage of the
arrangemen already manifest, 1t is
thought, will afford GLORY for ALL"
The point is made that American
soldiers are flowing across the At
lantic to France in constantly
swelling stream that will soon ac-
cumulate an army of large size. AS
this force increases, the Importance
of the commands to which American
generals will be assigned will grow.
Come what may President Wilson
is said to be satisfied the conditions
on the western front demanded the
drastic policy adopted. The informa-
ton upon which his conclusions
were based is not such as could be
made available to the public except
in general outline. Each step is un-
derstood to have the full support
of Major General Tasker H. Bliss
and other high ranking American
generals in France. The initiative
came from these officers.
Facts which are permissible reveal
the gaps in the English Army. which
the Americans are filing. The man
power was not available from any
other quarter and the added strength
was necessary to hold in check the
on-rushing Germans.
The Americans are not being scat
tered among the British and French
in a manner that will result in the
loss of identity. Battalions and regi-
ments are held together. These are
commanded by their own American
officers who are subject to the next
| higher command and the final COM
mand is with General Foch.

British and French War
Prisoners Suffer Torture

London, April, 12.-How British
prisoners of war in Germany are en-
slaved, starved and subjected to un-
told cruelties is related in an offic-
ial report of a government committee
made public to-day. THE detention
and employment of noncommis-
stoned officers and men captured
on the western front, says the report,
have brought on these prisoners an
amount of unjustifiable suffering for
which it would be hard, to find Il
parallel in history"
The report is based on an accum-
ulation of evidence and shows that
prisoners have been employed con-
stantly under shell fire and that
many have been killed by British
guns; that they have been kicked
and beaten, denied clothing and ade-
quate shelter; have in many instances
been shot and that deaths from
starvation and overwork have been
constant.
French prisoners have been sub
iected to similar treatment.

Bar Members Volunteer Serv-
ices to Families of Men
Under Arms

Lawyers of the county have been
enlisted to give their service without
charge to soldiers families who need
assistance in the preparation of war
risk insurance applications. y let
ter was sent to all members of the
Bar Association to-day by Judge
George Kunkel. Charles c. Stroh and
y. c. Stamm. who are chairmen of

boards, asking their aid in helping
the soldiers families.
Members of the bar also Volun-
teered their services in assisting to
till out questionnaires. This advice
was given without charge to drafted
men who were in need of it,
An excerpt from letter written
by the Secretary of the Treasury,
which follows, IS included in the ad-
Nisory boards letter:
The American Bar Association
desires to cooperate with the Treas
ury Department in combating i'll
legal and reprehensible activities on
the part of certain claim agents. pen
sion attorneys and other persons in
seeking to obtain employment in
connection with the collection or
preparation of claims under the War
Risk Insurance act.
There is no necessity for the en-
ployment of claim agents or attor-
neys for the collection of the bene-
fits granted by the War Risk Insur-
ance act because the process of such
collection is exceedingly simple and
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance
stands ready to render any and all
assistance required. A great service
can be rendered nv ma king these
facts clear to the dependents of SOL
diers and sailors who are being ap-
preached by unscrupulous persons.
The suggestion of the American Bar
Association that the patriotic law
yers of the country advise claimants
free of charge of their rights under
the law is deeply appreciated by the
Treasury Department and affords a
splendid opportunity for service to
the nation and to the men who are
facing the fire of battle for us
