! LONDON, May y18.-Important changes
in the governments policy in Ireland
have been decided upon. They result
from the conferences between Vscount
French, Major General Macready and
the government officials in London last
week and the experiences of Sir Hamar
Greenwood, the Irish Secretary. in Dub
lin according to "The London Times"
The government, says the paper, was
so impressed with the gravity of the
situation that it resolved to use every
weapon in the armory of the state to
crush the terror before it was too Tate.
"On the other hand" continues "The
Times, "the restrictions, which irritate
the whole community will be removed
and more tolerant regime for the peo-
pie as a whole will be adopted.
Troops to Suppress Crime
An attempt to suppress crime will
be carried out by troops operating in
flying columns fir m series of garrison
posts. These will reentlessly pursue
teerrorists, and when murderer is cap
tured and convicted he will be hanged.

The Home Rule debate in the
House of Commons to-day had two
important results. First, the gov
ernment's concession of two Senates
for northern and southern Ireland, re-
spectively, and, second, the decision of
the Labor party announced by John
Robert Clynes to vote against the first
clause of the bill and thereafter to take
no part in the discussions. following the
example, of the Nationalists and, to a
certain extent, of the free Liberals
