BELFAST, Ireland, Oct. 2s-The
Irish political situation is a great
puzzle and | haven't met anybody
Englishman or Irishman-who has a
definite idea how it is going to be
solved.
There are at least four possible
solutions:
/. A republic.
2. Dominion Home Rule.
3 Separate Home Rule for us
ter and separate Home Rule for the
rest of Ireland.
4. Subdue the island with Brit
ish soldiers and continue the present
plan.
Number is the least likely. The
best British thought on the subject
is agreed present conditions in Ire
land are intolerable and that Brit
ain must shortly announce new
policy.
1t may be safely said Britain will
not voluntarily permit Ireland to
sever connection with the empire and
establish republic.
Here enters the time-worn argu-
ment of war strategy 1t is this,
repeated to me by high British of
ficer in Ireland:
For her own peace and safety,
Great Britain doesn't dare permit
the establishment of an unfriendly
government at her very door In
the event of war, Ireland might per-
nit her ports to be used as naval
bases, to our enemies and England,

ties, duchies. In the face of COM
mon foe like the Austrian, the Ital-
ians were all united. But on do
mestic matters the Italian is first
of all a resident of Rome or of Pied
mont or Lombardy or of some other
section.
For that reason, it is hard for the
preachers of revolution to attain any
success in Italy.
When the north gets wildly excit-
ed about industrial questions the
south is cool and Indifferent.
When the south is agitated over
something in connection with the
lemon or the wine market, the north
is frankly bored.
The consequence is the labor agi-
tator, the would-be fomenter of revo.
luton finds that he can get no unit
ed action.

THE TRUTH ABOUT IRELAND.
4 Solutions of Irish Problem
Before British Government

Scotland and Wales could be invad-
ed from ireland. If Ireland were
5000 miles from England, | believe
our government would give her any
thing she wants and be Jolly we'll
glad to be rid of her For hundreds
of years she has given US nothing
but trouble"
Domination Home Rule for Ire
land would mean the Irish people
would have a parliament and premier
and run their own affairs, WITH the
same freedom Canada or Australia
enjoy.
But blocking this is listers threat
she will join in government with
the rest of Ireland. Moreover, Brit
ish statesmen know that once com
plete Dominion Home Rule is given
Ireland it would take only the pas
sage of an act by the Irish Parlia-
ment to sever all connection with the
Empire.
1t is a foregone conclusion if Do
minion Home Rule is put into effect
it will be only very short time I'M
til the Irish Parliament will declare
for complete separation.
Lloyd Georges last proposal, a
parliament for Catholic Ireland and
another for Protestant Ulster. is ridi-
culed throughout all the Catholic
counties. In Ulster, the overwhelm-
ing sentiment is in favor of stick
ing with Britain.
Meanwhile, as British statesmen
consider the problem, the general
slaughter of soldiers, constables and
civilians continues

bile dashing into wagon loaded with
explosives had taken its toll.
The damage to the Morgan building
alone was estimated at $500,000 Minor
damage to hundreds of other buildings,
it was expected, would total at least
100000.
Although the front and sides OF che
Morgan banking house were demol-
ished. no member of the firm was se.
