GENEROSITY PLEA FOR IRELAND IS
 VOICED BY GREY
Urges That Home Rule Bill Must Be Fashioned Into An Acceptable
 Measure
Ky Associated Press

London, November 24.--The debate in the House of Lords on Irish home irie tonight was made memorable by no- table appeal from viscount Grey, for mer secretary for foreign affairs, to the government for an eleventh hour attempt by generosity to Ireland to fashion the bill into an sacceptabts. measure.
 l In a speech displaying no resentment and taking full account of the go osern- rnent's extreme difficulties in Irelaad, | he urged that unless the govern.n .nt was able to secure effective control tn Ireland it would be better to withdraw all the armed forces and leave Ireland 10 find her own salvation.
 | Whether the appeal will be needed, time will show, but it is significant that Earl Middleton intends tomorrow to move an adjournment of the debate for fortnight to allow the govern ment time to consider what amend ments, financial and otherwise, 1t i'll propose.
 viscount Grey declared the real cause of failure in obtaining a settlement was the differences of opinion in Ireland it. self. Until these difficulties were cons posed he asserted, there could te TO settlement, and the bill for the Lords
 to put 1t mildly, had not made the diff forences less. It had conci1iated ui- ster. viscount Grey said, but had brought the southern unionists and la- ticnalists into opposition.
 l Lord Grey argued that it would have been better had the government, in stead of preparing a detailed bill start- ed by laying down on broad lines the trr1if ,,d <7 Iccmplete autonomy and the minimum
 which England must reserve for the security and safety not only of herself, 1 but of Ireland. He outlined this mini - mum as, first. placing Ireland Tn pre- cisely the same position with regard to foreign affairs as the great self-gov- erning dominions, with the same right to be consulted about commercial trea- ties; and second, only one army in
 these two islands. He would not, however, contemplate the maintenance of any imperial troops in Ireland after lhome rule has been passed, unless Ire 1 land desired it.
 T am perfectly certain and the his tory of the war shows it. that unless there is only one navy and one na yaf authority, neither Ireland nor Csr eat Britain could be defended" said Grey.
 That must be without qualification. Whatever dominion home rule might mean, we must from the beginnins have no ambiguity on this question" With Ireland and England So close together and under modern conditions of mines and submarines he continu d lit was absolutely inconsistent with the
 safety of either country that there should be divided naval authority He admitted that after what had hap lpened in Ireland in the past few weeks he could hardly advocate as a prec u tionary course, as he did recently. that Ireland should be left to say what form Iof government she desired But the time might come when the government would ha'0 to consider that method of
 proceeding again.

Miami, Fla, November 24.--Naval forces in Biscayne bay today prevented what was said to have been an attempt by employees of the Western Union to connect the shore ends of a cable across the bay. The Western Union employees, 15 in number, were placed under guard and still were being held tonight.

 Submarine chaser No. 154 immediately left the municipal dock and drew up alongside the barge on which the work men had landed, took possession and prevented the men from leaving. Armed seamen remained on the barge to guard the cable and prevent it's be- ing laid. When they arrived, the workmen had the end of the cable in their hands, it was said, but had not begun splicing it to the cable laid under the causeway connecting Miami with Miami Beach when the causeway was built last year.
 Western Union employees say the men on the barge are not under guard. but were merely ''requested not to leave.'
