SUGGESTS WALES
AS irish KING
Lord Hugh Cecil Of England Sug-
gests New Solution Of
Erin Question.
WOULD HAVE 2 PARLIAMENTS
Says Complete Fiscal Autonomy
Would Be Given Ireland, But There
Would Be Levy Imposed for
Imperial Defense.

Belfast, Ireland, May 1s.-Lord
Hugh Cecil, member of the privy coun'
Gil of England. who is the guest OF
Lord Londonderry family in Mount
Stewart, County Down, has suggested
a scheme by which Ireland would be
made an independent kingdom Its
king to be member Of the Windsor
family, probably the prince Of Wales
to be appointed by the king of Eng
land.
Under the scheme there would be
two small parliaments, one to be 10.
Gated in Belfast and the other in Dub
lin, and, in addition, "house of
estates of 100 members. Complete
fiscal autonomy would be given Ire
land, but there would be levy i'm
posed for imperial defense in pro
portion to the sum contributed by
England for that purpose.
Could Have an Army.
Ireland, under the plan. would be
allowed to have an army, but no navy,
and in the event of war the king Of
England could suspend the Irish con.
stitution. Irishmen In the colonies
would have the right to choose wheth-
er they should be subjects of the Irish
or English king. II favorably received
by the Irish leaders, the scheme would
be submitted to a constituent as.
sembly.
Some of the southern Irish leaders,
including John Dillon, to whom the
scheme was outlined, described it as
"preposterous."
Death List Reaches SO.
Dublin, May 1S.-Reports of am
buscades and other attacks on the

Battle on Football Field.
Cork, May 18.-One soldier was
killed in a thirty-minute battle be-
tween crown forces and Sim Feiners
here. The Republicans, armed with
a Lewis gun, attacked a football
crowd Soldiers rushed upon the field
to protect the players and gave battle
to the Sim Feiners. The smallness
of casualties was attributed to the
fact that both sides fought from be-
hind defenses.
