Marshal Fiscount French. lord lieu
tenant of Ireland: Sir Hamar Green
wood. chief secretary for Ireland, and
Denis Henry. attorney general for
ireian~i. discussed the situation on q
basis or three fundamental changes
in the governments policy.
The first change, it is understood.
would provide for more severe treat
ment FOR the perpetrators of actual
crimes; the second would grant the
Irish almost the same freedom of
speech as in England and the third
would provide official publicity Of all

the intention now is that the new

we as q professedly Christian nation,
turn our backs on Poland. Austria

admonition of Christ glazing from

cleanse these pest-breeding localities
Not only to safeguard ourselves from

spread of that far worse infection of
class revolt. The world is still In
grave danger. Universal class war Is
still a possibility of the near future.
And the spirit which engenders and
feeds and inflames the passions of the
ignorant masses is bred and fostered
by just such want and privation as
Europe is undergoing.

America knew the full extent of hope

of Europe Is plunged and that mil
