?>pend on an answer reaching us."
The Premier, raising another point, .
aatd "the best guarantee which Soviet
Russia could baye against the armis?
tice being abused for the purpose of
rearming and rcequipping Poland for
offensive purposes would be a fair un?
derstanding with the Western powers."
Premier Lloyd George said he had
just received a message from George
Tchitcherin, the Soviet Foreign Min?
ister, saying an urgent telegram was
being sent to M. Kameneff in reply to
Great Britain's note of Tuesday. The
Premier added he did not know what
the Kameneff telegram contained.
Soviet Reply Awaited
He was asked whether pressure was
being applied by the Allies or Great
Britain to Czecho-Slovakia to assist
Poland with men, an army or munitions
against Russia. The Premier replied:
"Everything depends on the answer
we receive. If it is unsatisfactory, of
course we shall bring pressure to bear
on everybody to give the necessary
support to Poland."
Replying to a question as to invol?
ving other countries in a new war Pre?
mier Lloyd George said: "You don't
go to war necessarily when you allow
the transit of munitions."
Asked whether, in case the Soviet
? answer was unsatisfactory, the House
could understand that no pressure
wouid be applied to Czecho-Slovakik or
other border states to use armed inter?
vention in favor of Poland, the Pre?
mier replied:
"If the answer is unsatisfactory and
if it becoir.es quite clear that the
Soviet authorities mean to destroy
Poland, I certainly could not give any
undertaking of that kind."
The Premier's reply brought out
cheers.
Kameneff, who is President of the
Moscow Soviet, is reported to have
sent a message to b;s government ask?
ing that Russia accept immediately
the original British proposals for an
armistice with Poland.
Kameneff. it is said, sent his mes?
sage after he and M. Krassin, who ?3
Russian Minister of Trade and Com?
merce, had the talk with Lloyd George
and Andrew Bonar Law last night. Up
to the middle of this afternoon no
reply had been received.
Much Anxiety in London
M. KamenefT and M. Krassin are
members of the Russian commission
which came here to conduct negotia?
tions locking to the restoration of
trade between Great Britain and
Russia.
Among British officials and diplomats
of other nations here undisguised
anxiety is felt over the Russo-Polish
situation. One high official said:
' "The situation is as grave as that in
August, 1914" i when England was
about to declare war on Germany).
"The Evening N'ews" learns that the
government to-day considered the
Polish situation and that "lar^o quan?
tities of war material are to be sent
Immediately in concert with France."
"There is no intention on the part
of the Allies," the newspaper adds, "to
depart in the slightest degree from
their position regarding Poland. The
British government may have to call
for volunteers within the next few
days 'to nid in the preservation of
the Versailles Treaty.' It would be
possible for the War Office to send
four divisions within the next few .
?r.eeks, two divisions immediately.
.'Steps are being taken to mobilize the
liavy. but the Cabinet has not yet
definitely decided."
Newspaper Reports Denied
An official statement issued to-night
declares there is no truth, in the report
printed in the newspapers that large
quantities of war materials are being
;>< nt to Poland and that the War Office
Would be able to send four divisions
of troops there in the next few weeks.

Paderewski, in Paris, Says
England Musi Aid Poland
Ex-Premier Says Lloyd George
Made Promise; Deplores Ten
dency to Avoid Aetion
. Special Cable to The Tribune
Copyright, 1910. New York Tribune In?:.
PARIS, Aug. 5.?Former Premier
Paderewski of Poland, who arrived in
Paris with full powers to negotiate
peace on behalf of his nation at the
London conference, has now cancelled
his arrangements. In an interview with
the" Tribune correspondent he deplored :
the fact that France is the only coun?
try in the world which appears anxious
to give Poland active help,
"I am confident, however," lie said,
"ibat England must come to our assist-,
nice. She promised to do so in writing at <
-->n. When M. Grabski appealed to Pre
iv.i'or Lloyd George for help the latter
demanded the renunciation by Poland
of large territories which she claimed.
M. Grabski pleaded against this sacri- :
lice, but Lloyd George replied that if >
Poland agieed to these ternis she
would reeeiv ? the fullest help. No
country in the world can afford to tol?
erate the crushing of Poland by the
Bolsheviki.
"Russia and Germany are natural !
allies, and if this alliance taker, place
Germany within four or live years will ?
be the most formidable country in the
world. She has the technical knowl- ?
eirge, while Russia has the raw ma- ;
terials and cheap labor.
'-'It is essential that wo resist tho
Bolsheviki. They are now exhausted
and it will not be long now before it
will be impossible for them to con?
tinue operations this winter. Unless
wo do so, we shall assist the Russo
German alliance, which we all will re?
gret."

Germans Would Refer French
Flag Incident to League
LONDON', Aug. b. A wireless dis?
patch from Berlin says that Foreign
Minister Simons to-day told the
Reichstag that the incident which arose
seme time ago over the salute to the
French flag which had been removed
from the French Embassy had not yet
been settled. He said he had a very
serious conversation with the French
charg? d'affaires concerning the in?
cident Wednesday. The dispatch adds
that the government hopes to settle
the .dispute by referring it to the
League of Nations.
Villa Had One Officer
To Each Two Privates
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 5.?
General Francisco Villa's army
consisted of 558 non-commis?
sioned officers and men when he
surrendered, but he had nine
pe?er?is amonp a total of 2(50
commissioned officers, or almost
a ratio of one officer to two pri?
vates and non-coms. This was
revealed here to-day with the
publication of the official text of
the terms of surrender signed by
Villa.
In addition to the nine pe?er?is
Villa had thirty-three colonels, I
twenty-five lieutenant-colonels, j
thirty-three majors, eighty-five

from Moscow to-day. The occupation

PARIS, Aug. 5 (Ry Tho Associated.
Press i.?Inspired by a wave of patriot?
ism in the rear and encourage;"! by the
arrival o? arms and munitions, the
Polish army scorns to be stiffening in
its defense against the invasion of
the Bolsheviki, who are virtually at the
gates of Warsaw.
Chance to Stop Drive
Although but vague and somewhat,
contradictory reports have reached :
Paris Io-day, it is regarde.i here to?
night that the Poles still have a chance
of stopping the Red drive and limiting
the extent of the disaster. They ap?
parently have not altogether aban?
doned the line of the Rug River. The
Brest-Litovsk forts at last accounts
were still in the possession of the !
Poles, and denial is made that the Bol- '
sheviki have reached Ostrolenko. The
Polish staff even has been able to launch
two counter offensives, in the north in
the region of Lomza and in the extreme
south in Galicia.
Another factor held by military ob- j
servers to favor the Poles is that in
view of the imperfect transport of the
Bolsheviki their rate of progress neces?
sarily must decrease as the length of
their line of communication increases.
The Allies have not yet, so far as is
known, decide?! on what course to pur?
sue in the Polish situation, but ex?
changes of views were going on all day
to-day between the Paris and London
governmi nts.
Near the Prussian border Bolshevik
forces have occupied Kolno, eighteen
mites northwest of Lomza, and have at?
tacked the fortress of Qstrolenka,
twenty-t wo miles southwest of Lomza.
The Poles were reported to be making
a stand at the latter place.
On the northern sector of the front,
where the Soviet armies have been
plunging ahead in an effort to reach
the corridor connecting Poland with
the Baltic, the Poles are raid to have
won local successes.
A statement covering the events of
yesterd y would seem to indicate the
Bolhevik advance in the region of
Mlawa has been checked, temporarily at
least.
WARSAW, Aug. ? fBy The Asso?
ciate?! Press). Poland's newly ap?
pointed Council of Defense has sont a
wireless dispatch to Moscow informing
the Soviet government that Poland
was ready to send a peace delegation
to Mink". Two conditions were laid
down by the council. They were:
That Polish (??legates be permitted
to communicate freely with the War?
saw govern nun'., and that the -Soviet
government agrees to accept in prin?
ciple the terms Poland will propose.
General Romer and his colleagues on
the armistice commission will carry
credentials giving the commission
power to engage in negotiations pre?
liminary to a treaty of peace, as well
as to arrange for an armistice.
'I'll?- 1'oiish commission arrived here
this morning from Baranovitchi, where
it waB confronted with the Soviet's de?
mand for the initiation of peace con?
versations, it ut once reported to the
Council of Defence and the Cabinet
and narrated the story of its experi?
ences at Baranovitchi. It was imme?
diately decided to acede to the Bol?
shevik demands and send the commis?
sion to a pace conference at Minsk.
Pole? Ask for Aid
The Polish government has asked
tho members of the Franco-British
mission to return respectively to
Paris and London, lay the real situa?
tion in Poland before their govern?
ments and give their opinion as re?
gards suitable aid.
Russian Soviet armies driving
against the Polish lines defending
Warsaw are maintaining an average
progress of six mues a cay in the
direction of this city.
They are being held in the south,
however, and in some places are being
pushed back from the districts east of

of their present campaign.

Congress Call
In Polish Crisis
A Possibility
Wilson Will Ask Approval
Before U. S. Joins Britain
and France in Extending
Army or Financial Aid
Four Plans Considered
President Said to Have No
Idea of Taking Action
Under His War Authority
From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.?The Polish
situation now has reached a point
where the calling of Congress in
special session to consider America's
attitude in the crisis is regarded as a
possibility, although officials close to
the White House were careful to add!
to-day that this was only a possibility
and not a probability.
Should the United States be called
upon to give military assistance or to
extend credits to Poland the approval
of Congress would he asked before the;
United States would join with Great:
Britain and France in any military I
action against the Russian Soviet gov?
ernment, or give financial assistance j
to Poland, it was said at the State j
Department.
No direct or official request has been '
received from Great Britain, France or!
Poland for military aid in the crisis, I
it was stated, although it is under-I
stood diplomatic exchanges are tak?
ing place on the situation. The j
?luestion of sending an American army (
to Poland to cooperate with the British
and French in defending that country!
against the Russian Soviet troops has ?
been the subject of unofficial discus- :
sion, however, since the Russians con?
tinued their drive, into I'oiand despite
the armistice proposals.
The American government is con?
sidering several plans for assisting
Poland, it was said at the State De?
forced the Bolsheviki back into Russia
in the region of Radziviov, northeast
of Brody.
American aviators, lighting with the
Kosciuscko squadron, are battling
against General" Budenny's cavalry and
infantry along the Sereth River, where!
the Soviet forces have not mad?.' any
headway. Parts of this squadron were
engaged all day yesterday near Mik
licze, where they met Cossocks and
Bolshevik infantry. The losses suffered
by the enemy in this district were vi ry
heavy, to-day's official statement say?
ing I,GOO Bolsheviki were killed and
largo numbers were wounded.
Polish Resources Strained
Poland strained every ounce of her
reserve power yesterday to checkmate
the Bolsheviki in the game on the re?
sult of which depends the fate of the
new republic. Men in whose hands
rests the destiny of Poland assembled
at various conferences throughout the
day. Taking a leading role in all de?
cisions were the British, French and
Italian missions.
Munitions recently unloaded at Dan?
zig by the British wire arriving during
the day, and tanks, rifles and artillery
from France were rushed to the front. !
French officers are arriving daily to
act as technical advisi rs at Polish gen?
eral headquarters in the preparations
for Warsaw's final stand against the ;
invaders. |
There was no let-up in the fighting, i
particularly along the northeastern and
eastern sectors, where the Soviet forces
were gradually moving toward Warsaw.
Negotiations l'or an armistice seem to
have stimulated the Bolsheviki, who,]
with the exchange of notes between the
Warsaw arid Moscow governments, be?
gan their drive with new vigor.
Hope in Volunteers
Newspapers of this city were still
confident, and expressed great hones
in the volunters now facing the |
enemy, Some wounded men from
these detachments have already ar?
rived here, many ?>f them being boys
who left sel'.ool when the countrj
called its men to arms against the '
Soviet armies.
Most Americans, excepting welfare j
workers and others having business in j
Warsaw, will have departed from this
city by tonight, il was announced by
the authorities. Mme than 200 left for
Danzig last night and the American Le?
gation has arranged for 300 seats res?
ervations on trains leaving to-morrow.
The majority of the French civilian
population has left Warsaw, there
being about one thousand in the
French colony prior to the Bolshevik
offensive. The American. British and
French Legations probably will with?
draw when the Polish government is
forced to leave, but the course to be
pursued by the American Legation will
? depend upon instructions from Wash?
ington.
Americans Quit Warsaw
While the Poles have considered the
question of a withdrawal of the gov-I
eminent, as yet the ? is no official ;
announcement converning the time it
will leave or where it will go. There
are no indications that the govern?
ment is moving its records.
Members of the American Consulate j
staff and persons connected with tho
American typhus expedition have
moved their baggage to Camp Gruppa,
on the lower Vistula, near Graudentz,
which is the headquarters for the ty?
phus expedit ion,
Warsaw went about its business a?
usual to-day. Troop detachments, be?
decked with flowers, marched, singing,
, through the streets bound for the front, ;
but this has been a daily occurrence
for months and it attracted no particu- ;
lar attention. In the vicinity of all ;
governmental buildings, there was an ?
air o\ mystery and there was marked
activity among the employees.
During the day newspapers here sur?
mised tii" Bolsheviki were gradually
creeping in the direction of Warsaw
:?( two or three points, and the Polish
mark took a decided drop, reaching
214 to $1, the lowest point in its his?
tory.
80,000 Navy Workers Demand
?10 Per Cent Wage Increase
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.- -Representa

appeared before the Navy Wage Board
to-day to urge an immediate increase
in wages of approximately 40 per cent.
They asked thai the average wage be

Germans Pass Disarmament Bill
LONDON, Aug. 5. The German
?; Reichsrat to-day passed the disarma
! ment bill and adjourned until the mid
i die of October, says a wireless dispatch
i received to-night from Berlin. Meas
j ures have been taken to renssombl" tho
house earlier should political events
necessitate such a course.
partment. Tho plans under considera?
tion may be staled as follows:
Giving Poland military assistance
on a large scale by sending a large
army and many guns to tho Russian
border.
Sending American army officers to
Poland to help the Polish armies
with their advice.
Extending < ?bts to Poland so
thai country can purchase adequate
military supplies.
Facilitating shipments of military
supplies and food from the United
Stales to Poland.
Government officials, in discussing
the situation to-day, declared that
President Wilson has no intention of
acting under his war powers to relievo
Poland. "Ho will not stretch his war
powers," one government official said.
If the President decides that the
United States should send an army to
Poland to help drive the Russian Soviet
troops back behind tho borders of
Russia, it was said, he probably would
ask Congress to approve such a course.
It was further stated that the executive
branch of the government could not ?
extend credits lo Poland without the
specific sanction of Congress.
The question of whether President
Wilson could order American troops
into Poland under the armistice has
been given consideration, it was said;
but the executive departments of the'
government are inclined to the opinion, !
it was stated, that this could not be
done.
The only guaranty of the boundaries
of Poland was set forth in the covenant
of the League of Nations and that body
alone could act to preserve those bound?
aries, under the terms of the Versailles
treaty. State Department officials de?
clared.
The boundaries of Poland were laid
down in the treaty, but the terms of
peace with Germany did not provide
that the other nations of the world
should preserve them, it was explained.
Should the Allied governments decide
to send troops into Poland, it was said,
such action would be taken to restore
peace in Europe and not primarily to
protect Poland.
In the event that Congress is called
into special session, it was said, the
President would ask Congress to as?
sume the full responsibility for the
course of the United States and would
not request any extension or enlarge?
ment of his own executive powers.
The United States government is
watching developments closely. It is
probable that the American govern
mcnl will wait, until Great Britain and
France have decided upon a course ofj
action before the United States makes
?.?. decision.

Russia would then undertake to com

"Russia," the correspondent adds,
"intends to try to avoid the terms of

When Russia withdraw-; from Poland
she will leave this Polish army, per?

Safe; Troopers
Seek a Woman ;
Police Certain That Auguste
Pascol,- 'Crank' Prisoner,
Is Man Who Kidnaped
Child Two Months Ago
Have Fingerprint Clew
Authorities Conceal Man
Under Arrest and (?rill
Him for information
Xpreial Dispatch to Tin- Tribuno
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5..Blakely
Coughlin, fifteen-months-old kidnaped
baby, is said in the most highly I
authoritative source to be alive.
Auguste Pascol, arrested as "The
Crank," who obtained $12,000 ransom j
money from George II. Coughlin, father
of the child, is believed to be tho '
actual kidnaper.
His principal accomplice is believed ?
to be a woman, whose arrest is ex
pected momentarily. Finger prints of j
this Woman, obtained from the window
sills of the Coughlin home, arc in the j
hands of a handwriting expert.
State troopers, accompanied by postal ;
inspectors, are now engaged in search- ;
ing for this woman. With her appre?
hension they hope to find the child. ?
These facts were learned to-night
from the moat, reliable authority.
George A. Leonard, chief postal in?
spector, and Major Lynn C?. Adams,
head ci the Pennsylvania state con- |
stabulary, are heading the forces seek
ing to capture the woman accomplice. ]
Pascol, a foreigner with a long crim- |
inal record, is in Pennsylvania, being
carefully guarded by live state troop- j
era.
"The Crank" has been spirited to nu
mcrous places by his captors, for se?
cret grilling. He ; bi ' u detained in
one barrack town, but is now thought
to be concealed in a remoto section i
within a seventy-five mile radius of
Ph ?ladelphia.
A trap has been prepared by the
authorities working on the case, by
means of which they hope to catch all
those implicated in the abduction.
The moment the baby is returned or
the accomplices in the kidnaping ar?
rested "The Crank" and his associates !
will be rushed either to Norristown or
Philadelphia for preliminary hearing.
A detail of six troopers has been
stationed in Norristown since the be?
ginning of the week. It is working
secretly on a separate angle of the
case. Attempts are being made to con?
nect Pascal with a mysterious man seen
in Norristown and the vicinity shortly
before the kidnaping on June 2.
Police records in Philadelphia ami
other large cities are being scanned by
the authorities to discover whether the
woman implicated in the kidnaping
has a criminal record.
Finger prints of Pascol were com?
pared yesterday with impressions
taken at the Coughlin home. Accord?
ing to Captain of Detectives Souder
and P ;. tal Inspector McVickar che im?
pressions are not the sum.'. The au?
thorities are tracing all funds held by ]
Pascol in the hope of obtaining a re?
turn of at least a portion of the $12,000
which he extorted from Coughlin.
Pascol was released from the Phila?
delphia County prison on March 26, at
which time he had only $4.26. Shortly
after the middle of June, when Cough?
lin deposited the ransom money, Pas?
col appeared at a rooming house here
with a large supply of money. Since
that time he has displayed either bills
or checks for sums running into thou?
sands of dollars. He is unable to ex?
plain satisfactorily how he came into
possession o? all this money.
Special Dispatch to Tie Tribune
ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 5.?Atlantic
County detectives started out this
morning on a still hunt for little
Blakley Coughlin, who, "the crank" is
said to have intimated, was secreted
in this city. Prosecutor Edmund C.
Gaskill jr. called off the men to-night

sidy of cable companies and lower

change of news and opinion within the

Nations' Financial
Conference Called
For September 24
Advisory Committee Named
l>y ?-easrue Council to
Deal With Army, Air and
Naval Affairs of World
SAM SABASTIAN, Spam. Aug. 5 (By
The Associated Press). -The Interna-i
tional Financial Conference will be
held at Brussels September 24, the
Council of the League of Nations de-i
cided at its last session here to-day. I
Gustav Ador, former President of i
?Switzerland, will preside. The repara-j
tions question at issue between the Al-1
lies and Germany will not be put on!
the order of business unless notifica-j
tion is received meantime that a deci-1
sion has been reached.
A permanent advisory committee on;
military, naval and air affairs came?
into being at the last minute to-day
with a mission to study and report!
upon questions of a military character
upon which the council may be called
to act. The province of this com?
mittee is described by members of the
council as only that provided for in the
League of Nations Covenant.
Its prospective task is described !
by L?on Bourgeois, French mem?
ber of the Council, as ''in accord- ;
anee with the provisions of the cove- i
riant" to "regulate the armament of '
the forces of new states admitted to
the league, and the reduction of arma- i
,r
ment s.
Final decision on the international I
Court of Justice was not reached. ;
The project for the court pre- j
pared recently by the Jurists' Con?
ference at the Hague, and attributed \
largely to Elihu Root, is generally
favored by the councillors, but it was
decided to ask the opinion of all the '
mr.mbers of the league before its
adoption.
Ask National Balance Sheets
Representatives of each government
participating in the international
financial conference to be held i:i
Brussels on September 24 will be;
asked to present a balance sheet show- !
ing the actual financial situation of his
nation. All countries will be asked not
to issue any more paper money, so as
to avoid further weakening of foreign ;
credit.
Efforts will be made, through a com?
mission of experts, to arrive at an
equitable arrangement for exchange i
between Germany and! Austria and
other nations, the money of the former
Central empires being regarded as be?
yond restoration to its pre-war ex?
change value. The invitation to Ger- !
many to participate in this conference
is conceded to be tantamount to notice
that she will be accepted as a member
of the League of Nations if she makes
application.
Thirty Allied, neutral and enemy
states will be asked to join in the con?
ference, the program of which will
comprise four principal subjects?the
financial policies of the different)
states, exchange and paper circulation,
commercial relations and the re?stab
lishment of international credit.
Council Expenses Growing
The league budget submitted at yes?
terday's meeting showed tiie expenses
of the Council are growing as the num?
ber of commissions at work is multi?
plied. It. asked for ?500,000 for the
ensuing six months.
Members of the league have been
divided into seven categories, and will
contribute to its support on the basis
of the proportional payments fixed for
its members by the Universal Postal
Union. One exception is Poland,
which will pay as n first class power
along with Great Britain and France,
which have been placed on a basis of
twenty-live units. The Kingdom of
Hedjaz has been placed in the seventh
category an ! will contribute one unit.

of peace, good will, nnd partnership,
but, he said, any dominion solution re?
quired defiinite assertions regarding
the army, navy and ports, and the
position of Ulster, which could not be
forced inio a Home Rule parliament.
No disposition to accept such a so?
lution, continued the Premier, was ap?
parent in South and West Ireland, fin
the contrary, he said, the south and
west were demanding something Eng?
land could never concede except as a
result of disaster and defeat. He be?
lieved there were hopeful indications
of changing views concerning these
extravagant demands, but while the
campaign of outraire and murder con?
tinued he stated there was no alterna?
tive but the bill the government was
now proposing.
Hasty Method? Opposed
The rule to confine the debate in the
second reading of the Irish crina
to four hour3, with linal action to-mor?
row evening, was adopted after some
discussion. T. P. O'Connor, Sir Donald
MacLean, Mr. Clynes and others, who
attacked the "hurry-up" method, de?
clared their attack was no; aimed
against "the bill ? self, bu
measure removing constitutional rights
of British citizens by the denial of trial
by jury" should be granted freer dis?
cussion .
Mr. O'Connor asserted that with
twenty coercion bills passed by Parlia?
ment in the last 120 ycuva the least
time for debate on any war, twenty-one
days.
Mr. Rnnar Law pleaded for quick
action because of what he termed the
"necessity far setting up as?
system in Ireland immediately."
Premier Lloyd George was i ?Id at
his conference with the Irish deputa?
tion he received yesterday that
progress has boen made among 1rs!:
Unionists during trie last, few months
in favor of a broad policy giving self
government to the people of that
island, say.; ''The London Timas" in
reporting the meeting. The deputation
was unanimous and strong in its de?
nunciation of the goverment's Irish
crimes bill and was also strongly op?
posed to any scheme for the partition
of the island. Fiscal autonomy was
also demanded,
Captain Harrison, secretary of the
Irish Dominion League, submit ed on

He also suggested the six counties
of Ulster should be entitled, after c n

From The Tribune's E ? : ? m Bureau
1 ? p> rig 111. 1920, N ".v V <>:?': Tl
LONDON, Aug. 5. -Prior to the de?
bate in the House to-day on the Irish
bill Premier Lloyd George re I
the announcement he had made that
Archbishop Mannix, of Melbourne,
tralia, would not be permitted to
Ireland. There were cheers fro
Unionists, and tLe rest of the chamber
was silent.
Sir Edward Carson and his Ulster
lieutenants sat behind the Premier and
Bonar Lav,- during the debate, while on
the opposite benches sat Mr. Asquith
and Sir Donald .McLean. The Liberal
leaders were Hanked by J. R. Clynes,
other Labor members and a 1 ttle band
of Nationalists, John Devlin and T. P.
O'Connor, the last members of the once
powerful Irish party.
Lady Nancy Astor sat near Devlin
and seemed embarrassed as the Irish
man in fiery passion poured forth
torrent of abuse of the government,
and prophesied that it would be com?
pelled eventually by the force of opin?
ion in America. Australia, Canada an?!
Ireland to grant the very demands
w ?1 ich it now refused.
The government has no intention ? :
granting dominion home rule, certain?
ly not independence, and consequently
there will be dark days, ahead for Ire?
land.
The opponents of coercion have
charged the government with settling
an army of occupation in Ireland, bu
it is declared that it would be impoi
sible to restore order in this way, for
It would make every ?(lie an enemy.
However, there are still forces in Ire?
land working for compromise.
A big reception for Archbishop Man?
nix is being arranged at Liverpool.

night to Premier Lloyd George.
