They then departed hurriedly and Mrs.

IRISH HOME RULE
WITHOUT SEPARATION
Chief Secretary for Ireland Outlines
Government P0Iicy-WOuld Have
Two Irish ParIiaments.

BELFAST, Oct. 14-Sir Hamar
Greenwood, chief secretary for Ireland,
IN n speech here yesterday announced
that the government would not tolerate
an independent Ireland or part OF Ire
land being independent.
lie declared that the government IN
tended to continue with the home rule
bill which it has prepared and would
enlarge It IN the most generous manner,
especially in the direction of finance,
thereby making n complete and final set
tlement OF the Irish problem.
The government will not be de-
fected in its course by promises of bet
ter measures or other measures" said
the chief secretary. I'VE believe in the
imperial and strategic unity of these
islands. We believe that this unity is
fundamental for the well being of the
whole empire.
"I'he real bar to peace in Ireland and
the immaculate passing OF bill that
would enable Irishmen TO govern their
affairs IS the campaign of deliberate and
cauous murder, arson and intimidation
IN certain parts of Ireland. No civil
lied government could tolerate that, and
/ can assure all those who read what |
say that it makes no difference what it
costs in men, money or time, the gov
crnment win go forward unfinchingly to
treat criminals like the criminals they
are. We are breaking the terror. In
certain counties the boycott has ceased
and it Will cease everywhere.
The government of Ireland bill dealt
with a great reality. namely that Ireland
historically and in many other ways is
divided into two main parts. This is to
be regretted, but is still a fact. This
is the first government that has faced
that fact. | am not one of those who
believe that the setting up of two parl-
iaments in Ireland carries with it any
of these disabilities and awful conse-
dUences that people who know nothing
about home rule are constantly pro
phesying."
The secretary cited Canada and Aus
tralia as examples where self-government
started with & number of small parlia-
ments. lie appealed to the Irish to
guarantee success in undertaking self
government and blamed suggestions in
the press and from former cabinet
ministers as responsible in a measure for
the morass.
Sir Hamar believed that the govern
ment would succeed in ending the cam
paigp of murder, and then the way
would open and Ireland would be handed
over to the Irish. They. in Ulster.
would have their parliament and the
rest of Ireland would have its parIia-
ment.

it if anybody does. He thought much
good would result if the merchants did
nothing more than get together once a
year and talk things over. Mr.. Aber
nethy spoke briefly on the subject of roads,
and the need of a legislative committee
His talk was practical and sincere and
he made decidedly favorable impression
Mr.. Wright, for Is years a large cloth
ing merchant, former president of the
Burlington Chamber of Commerce
thought the merchants had been thinking
too much as individuals and not enough
collectively. Competition, he said, is a
thing of the past and in it's place is
spirit of cooperation which should be en-
Outraged. lie mentioned the probability
of change in the war revenue tax laws
and thought the merchants ought to be
organized to take a stand on various
propositions that are likely to be made in
this respect.
Mr. Durham, speaking with reference
to the desirability of a legislative commit
tee, told of some matters in his own expe-
rIence In the Legislature and expressed
the opinion that as much could be done
IN eight to ten weeks as are accomplished
now IN II to 10 weeks. A story which
ne told of an occurrence in the legislature
which showed the total lack of interest
on the part OF certain member put the
audience in an uproar of laughter.
Mr. cambridge, manager of the Bee
tive, large department store, thought
the organization would be of great bene-
mt to the merchants of the state. and he
called on Mr.. Taylor, who has been and
continues to be a booster for everything
designed to help the state, to give an ont
Ilne OF the constitution and bylaws. which
Mr.. Taylor did with the result as stated.

He says he's got to have Mir. Nor ris orders" said Baptiste.
 Lafe turned to Hilary, who took up the conversation. "Ask him if he doesn't understand what I ann here for" he suggested.
 Dupont was impregnable in his DO sition. He had lumber from both con- sessions, and Mr. Morris was in charge of both. What orders had been Left with reference to his freight?
 Lafe was pleased and surprised at the way Hilary took it. But Hilary had learned good deal during that morning.
 ''That sounds reasonable" he said. "Give him Mir. Morris orders, Cornell, whatever they are" And, when the matter had been settled, he added: You were dead right, Cornell. We've got to settle with the big fellows first"
 He dropped Lafe at the mill and drove slowly homeward across the bridge, thinking hard. There would probably be no trouble with Leblanc after he had shown that he was mas ter. And Lafe would be a pillar of strength. Hilary had instinctive faith in the slow-speaking Yankee.
 'I must get little Baptiste on our side, too," he said aloud, as the buggy topped the hill beyond the bridge; and then he became aware of Madeleine Rosny upon her horse, at the end of the branch road, waiting for him to pass.
 Hilary felt uncertain and awkward. Ought he to raise his hat to her? A glance at her face showed him that she was perfectly aware who he was. It showed him a firm chin, resolutely set, two angry blue eyes, and flushed cheeks whose redness did not come from hard riding.
 He decided to bow. But before he did so the buggy had passed, leaving a path; and Mademoiselle Madeleine, her face averred, started her horse down the hill Hilary jerked the reins angrily, and the pony set off at a gall Top for Monsieur Tremblay's stables. But before the final descent was reached Hilary was laughing. Some how the girls hostility seemed to add a zest to the game.
 q don't know that I'll be so very diplomatic with Brousseau after all, ,' said Hilary, as he drew rein at the stable entrance.
