Asquith as Optimistic as Lloyd
George Over Settlement.
Thinks Ulster Will Join. .

LONDON. Jan. 28.-H. n. Asquith.
former prime minister and present
leader Of the opposition In the
House Of Commons, with an optim.
ism equal to that of the premier
himself, sees United ireland a. an
assured thing Of the future.
In recognition Of the splendid spirit
with which he ignored party ques-
lions and forgot q personal and po-
litical feud Of five years duration.
In promising Lloyd George the In
dependent Liberal Party support for
the Irish settlement, the prime min
listers first act when Parliament
met to ratify peace was to shake
hands with Asquith, before the eyes
of the assembled house.
Government and opposition have
been one on the question.
Asquith now sees virtually eye to
eye with the premier regarding the
future. - -
"No one knows better than the
people Of Ulster" he says, that Ire
land cannot In the long run afford
to keep two governments.
81 do not mean merely from the
point Of view Of pounds, shillings
and Fence, but from moral. social
and economic considerations. - ,..
IT am glad to see that the latest
pre- I,ouncements Of the Ulster leaders
encourage the hope that, whatever
may be the difficulties Of the mo-
ment, when passions still run high
and uncompromising phrases still
echo In the air, they will feel their
way first to approximation. and then,
before very long, upon q broad basis
Of give and take to ultimate unity.
The treaty lays the broad basis
upon which there may be built up
and cemented a solid fabric Of liberty
for a self-governing Ireland"

Young Men.
HACKENSACK, N. J.. March 26--
BY dint Of .ncessant Questioning, the
police tonight had obtained a CO.
herent story Of how, two seventeen
year-old Newark girls came to be
found about midnight unconscious
by the roadside in Westwood.
It was the story OF a joyride with
two strange young men. whose ac-
tions were alleged to 80 have
alarmed their companions that they
jumped from the speeding car. Miss
ensack Hospital with a possible frac-
ture of the skull; her chum, Miss
Loretta Dalton, was out under q
$500 bond as a material witness. and
the police were looking for the two
men.
Realizing that Miss Fox's condi-
tion would not permit questioning.
the police focused their attention on
her companion. and after she was
discharged from the hospital at noon
she was taken to the prosecutors
office.
First the girl told the police that
she did not know what had happened;
over. Chief Bird paid little attention
|" to this story. saying that the road
showed no sign Of an upset. and
pressed his examination on the theo-
ry that the girls had either jumped
or been hurled from the machine.
Then Miss Dalton told a story OF
having been invited for ride by q
young man who drew up alongside
them In Newark. and whom Miss Fox
apparently knew. Later. seeing a
newspaper with an account lof the
accident, she exclaimed: This vii!
kill my mother. She warned me 9
dozen times never to ride with mer
I did not know"
