TO ascertain the view and attitude Of

Ireland not been engaged with the
tangled problem of Irish self-govern-
ment he would have been happy to ex-
change views with them. but Mr.. Red
mond speaking IN their behalf, had
made clear what his ideas are as to the
object and purpose of the war. He had
also consulted with representatives of
the overseas dominions.

continued. although the government
alone was responsible for the actual

this gas has already been tried

What Bautzen Did.
The masses are thoroly war

is a proof OF this.
Bautzen. an agrarian center, al

Before the recent election the war
party, certain of the result, pro-
claimed the outcome would show
the extent to which the people
were backing the kaiser.
A socialist was elected by q
large majority, throwing the mill
tarists into CONSERVATION. Thru
the latter's own demands, the cleo
ton cry was "for or against recon-
ciliat,on and peace"
However as George Archibald,
American jockey just out Of Aus
tria, said:
Don't let this German
peace talk fool you too much.
