Big Things Require Big Work

Under the pressure of the United States Gov
eminent to cut down the numbers of employees, that
the war work may have the service of our intelli-

many of our best men and women.

London, April 1s.--while National.

scriptiOn in their country, the rest

Never at any rate. has Ireland had
such a good chance of getting a. form

At a meeting of the Unionists war
committee, which was called to con-
slider the matter but which adjourned
until today without reaching a deci-
sion, several speakers urged that
every possible effort should be made
to secure a home rule settlement,
even at the cost Of cherished
principles. ..
With all the Liberals, Laborites,
and a large part of the
Unionists supporting the bill, 1t
should have an easy passage in the

British Fleets Activities
In Cdttegdt, AnSWer to the
Charge 1t Is Kept In Hiding

The Germans had large naval forces
near the scene. They did not send
them out but on the contrary per-
mitted ten trawIers TO be destroyed
virtually under their very eyes"
The newspaper then discusses the
theory that the Germans might be
inviting naval action near their mine
fields and coast defenses and says
that all such suggestions have no
foundation among those who have
knowledge of naval conditions.
The enemy, 1t says, has gained lit-
tie new strength for use in the North
sea by the Baltic situation. while
British superiority has been increas-
ed since the battle of Jutland, by the
coz operation OF the American forces
and the entire naval strength of the
United States would be available il
