HOPES FOR END PRESENT CHAOS
 EMERALD ISLE

DUBLIN, Feb. 24 (by Associated Press) .-Thert is a great weight of general sentiment throughout the country in favor of any settlement which will end the present chaos. Irish Catholic bishops are foremost among those who are encouraging this sentiment.
 Between the most moderate and the most extreme nationalists there is this one point of agreement, that the decision of the Irish people themselves must be supreme. Sub mission of their attitude to the electors and the endorsement of that attitude by the country's voters, is the basis on which Sim Feiners rest their case. They say that en. dorsement must stand.
 There is a considerable section of the populace, however, who be- lieve the time has arrived for a fresh consultation of the people that a new opportunity should be given for expression of the popular will. The suggestion is made that a formal referendum should be taken as to whether the people still adhere to the uncompromising Republican policy, or are willing to give the new home rule act a trial.
 Sir Edward Carson, for Ulster, has accepted, but Sim Fein has refused the act. In neither case have the people themselves been consulted as to what they think of it.
 There is even among Sian Feiners number who believe that it would be good tactics to accept the act as far as it goes, secure the election of Sim Feiners to the southern par lament and obtain as much control Of the Irish government as possible in the same way as they have ob. tained control of most of the local authorities. They would then use their new position as the basis for a fresh advance.
 The argument is heard that de Valera and Arthur Griffith could do more for the cause in executive of. flee than in jail, but that is not the

Foreign Trade Balance
 Turns in Favor ot France
Rv AssocIated Press

Paris, July 2.-For the first time since 1905. the foreign trade balance has returned in favor of France. Provisional. but approximately exact, firures for the first three months of this year show total exports of 4.S11,- ooo. o6O francs and imports of 4.7s1.- 900, 900.
 The importations of France before the war. excepting in 1905. ran from 20 to zS per cent higher than the ex- ports.
 Am unexpected showing is that France exported during the three months 2s2 per cent more manufac- tured, articles than in the first thrae months of the last normal year hd fore the war.
