 Twice during the day the joint com. mittee was diverted from it's investi. gation to defend itself against on. slaughts in the courts. The commit. tee was victorious in both occasions.

VISCOUNT GREY URGES GENEROUS
 HOME RULE MEASURE FOR IRISH

He would not, however, contemplate the maintenance of any imperial troops in Ireland after home rule had passed, unless Ireland desired it.
 T am perfectly certain, and the his tory of war shows it, that unless there is only one navy and one naval au thority, neither Ireland nor Great Britain could be defended" said Lord Grey That must be without qualifi cation. Whatever dominion home rule might mean, we must from the begin ming have no ambiguity on this ques- tion."
 With England and Ireland so close together and under modern conditions of mines and submarines, he continued, it was absolutely inconsistent with the safety of either country that there should be divided naval authority.
 He admitted that after what had happened in Ireland in the past few weeks he could hardly advocate a practicable course, as he did recently, that Ireland should be left to say what form of government she desired. But the time might come when the govern ment would have to consider that method of procedure again.
 He would have it clearly understood in Ireland that Great Britain could not go on indefinitely being unanswered into the position of either coercing na- tionalist Ireland or coercing Ulster, and the greatest lever the government could bring to bear to secure a settlement would be to make it perfectly cleal that the ultimate responsibility for the government of Ireland rested with the 1 Irish people and that the government could not continue indefinitely to gov. ern any part of Ireland by force.
 He desired to qualify his previous
 suggestion, made before reprisals wer, heard of that the armed forces shoulC
 be withdrawn from Ireland two year hence; he would admit frankly tha under the present state of affairs il Ireland he would never advocate tha the armed forces should be kept ther for another two years or any specifics time
 Expressing indignation at the mur ders and anxiety for the lack of disci pline of the crown forces, Viscoun Grey declared that unless the govern (ment could assume direct, real and ef lfective control .n Ireland it would

ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL MAKE CHICAGO
 DRY BY CHRISTMAS
(RepubIican A. p. Leased Wire)

(Republican A. p. Leased Wire)
 CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-Chicago will be "the most unhealthy place for crooks and the driest city in the United States by Christmas" federal, state and city officials declared tonight after they had taken part today in drive against the liquor dealers, which included suits to close 72 saloons and cabarets, injunc- tions shutting down eight such places and federal indictment of S1 persons on charges of conspiracy to violate the Volstead act.
 Attorney General Edward J. Brun- dage, who instituted the 72 suits, to- night said that several hundred more were contemplated and that the state would continue the drive until there was not drop of intoxicating liquor in any of Chicago's 5000 dry saloons" The federal officials joined in the drive shortly after the attorney general had filed his suits, when Charles Clyne United States district attorl ey, pro- cured temporary injunctions from Fed eral Judge K. M. Landis closing eight cafes. Shortly afterward the federal grand jury, which has been investlgat- ing alleged illegal liquor traffic for sev- eral weeks, returned jury indictments against 31 persons.
 City officials welcomed the state and federal drive as an adjunct to the city roundup of criminals started on Sun- day and said it would make it easier for them to keep crooks out of the city At the same time they frustrated aT attempt to steal $60,000 worth of liquor being transported through the city or trucks and arrested two persons il connection with a s5eo00 theft of wine The cases of the 72 saloon and caf, owners whose places Attorney Gen eral Brundage wanted closed will b, heard Friday by Judge Landis. An as sistant attorney general was assigned to direct a staff of attorneys in prose cutting the cases and MT. Clyne volun teered the assistance of his office.

EngIand Lost America by Not GiDirg in
 Time, Grey Says
[RepubIIcan A. p. Leased wlrel

LONDON, Nov. 24.-The debate in the house of lords on Irish home rule tonight was made memorable by a not able appeal from Viscount Grey, for mer secretary for foreign affairs, to the government for an eleventh hour by generosity to Ireland to fashion the bill into an acceptable measure.
 In a speech displaying no resentment and taking full account of the govern ment's extreme difficulties in Ireland, he urged that unless the government was able to secure effective control in Ireland 1t would be better to withdraw all the armed forces and leave Ire land to find her own salvation.
 WhetheA the appeal will be needed, time will show, but it is significant that Earl Middleton intends tomorrow to move adjournment of the debate for q fortnight to allow the government time to consider what amendments, fi- nancial and otherwise, it will propose.
 Viscount Grey declared the real cause of failure in obtaining settle ment was the difference of opinon in Ireland itself. Unless these differences were composed, he asserted, there could be no settlement and the bill be- fore the lords, to put it mildly, had not made the differences less. It had con ciliated Ulster, Viscount Grey said, but had brought the southern Unionists and Nationalists into opposition.
 Lord Grey argued that it would have been better had the government, in stead of preparing detailed bill started by laying down on broad lines the limits within which Ireland could have complete autonomy and the mini. mum which England must reserve fol the security and safety not only of her. self but of Ireland.
 He outlined this minimum as, first placing Ireland in precisely the same position with regard to foreign affair
 as the great governing dominions
 with the same right to be consulted about commercial treaties, and second | only one army in these two islands

 Along England's Coast
(RepubIioan A. P. Leased Wirel

(Republican A. p. Leased Wire)
 LONDON, Nov. 24.-The most con- spicuous fin the Irish debate in the house of commons today was the reve- lation by Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secretary of Ireland. of Sim Fein plans to destroy property in Liverpool and Manchester-a revelation which was greeted by Joseph Devlin with the exclamation:
 "An that was written in Dublin castlel'
 In other respects the debate followed the customary lines. Former Premier Asquith moved resolution expressing abhorrence on the recent Dublin as- sassinations and condemnation of re- prisaIs and urging immediate steps to bring about Irish pacification. An amendment by Col. John Ward con- verted this motion into an expression of admiration for the courage and de- votion of the crown forces in Ireland This was adopted by sOS to ss. and the motion as thus amended was adopted by exclamation amid cheers.
 The chief secretary appealed to the house to show every consideration by word and by resolution for the police, soldiers, civil servants and judges, who, ha declared. were obeying the orders of parliament and fighting a battle arainst assassination and not against the Irish people. He appealed espe- cftlly to the great Catholic church Tn Ireland" which, he said, by appeals from every altar could greatly assist in v,of aacQcCin0fIOn. Hafnar Greenwood ended his address amid cheering, when he said:
 sThere is only one issue left. That fs. who is for the empire and who is for assassination"
 Would Destroy Docks
 Alleged plans for blowing up the I.iverpool docks and the Manchester power and water plants are said to show that they were made in military fashion after detailed repor-s with drawings had been forwarded to Irish republican army officers by spies at each place. The plans, which are said to have been captured when the docu- ments relating to the spreading or " uhoid and glanders were captured. were made public tonight after the statement of Hamar Greenwood in the house of commons. o.
 The Liverpool plans called Tor zs officers. 27 engineers and 70 prlvases and 500 pounds of high explosive TOT attacking 21 points, most of them doch gates. with a view to stranding ships.
 Apparently every precaution wal taken for dealing with the "enems forces"--the police of both Liverpoo and Manchester. The Manchester plai called for destruction of the street ca power plant serving both industrie and tram lines and also the Claytoi valley pumping station, which fur nishes water to a large part of Man chester. Hammers and explosive were to have been used.

better to withdraw the armed forces now.
 He wished the government to have all powers for punishing crime. but these powers must be exercised with real discretion and control, and if that were impossible then withdrawal was the better course.
 Voicing his doubt as to whether constituent assembly or convention to settle the question was practicable now and criticising the financial clauses of the bill, the speaker urged the govern ment to try to amend the bill and make it more acceptable by more generosity regarding finance and by offering fiscal autonomy in the hope that it would bring about peace, instead of demand ing peace as a condition of giving fiscal autonomy. Alluding to foreign opinion. Lord Grey hoped the government would endeavor to make the bill sufficiently strong and generous to appeal to all moderate opinion.
