Peace for Ireland.

A dominion form of government similar to
that of Canada is now generally favored in
Ireland 1t is reported that armistice has
been agreed to by the contending forces, and
that its approval by the people will be asked,
a vote to be taken upon the proposal If an
affirmative verdict is received it will be sub
mitted for approval by the British government.
This seems about the happest solution of the
troublous situation in Ireland. At any rate, it
gives promise of ending the bloody warfare that
has been going there, with the British gov
eminent seemingly helpless to pacify the dis
satisfied elements. 1t is hardly likely that
Great Britain ever will completely relinquish
dominion over Erin. This should be appar-
ent to any student OF history who was observed
the attitude of the kings government The ap-
peal to America of the Irish people did not
have the effect upon the British government
that it hoped it would. Great Britain could
hardly afford to release its hold upon Ireland
The fact that the government is disposed to
make the latest reported concession may be
considered in the light of distinct victory for
the Irish people
