London, Maren 15th—Thne **Manchester Gnardian’’ is very despondent regarding the probable effeet of the Home Rule Bill. It accepis the fact that Mr. Asquith having made a motion for its rgjee tion as prooi of his having reached the ~onclusiop that, the Bilt ils only caleculated to make bad worse, and it not* only agrees with him, bui de- clares that it epens up the prospect of a conflict by toe videos which tie pres- ent speradic di orders will seem trivial. The fund.:i:nwal difficulty in Ireland is due to religious "nd politieal divisions and the bill is noi a uniting, but a dis- ruptive measure. The paper declar s that the Sinn Feiners wish nothing better than the Bill sh uld pass. ‘London, Mareh :15th.—~The Govt, has sold to a syndicate, airplanes and materials to the value of one huadred million sterling.

London, March 16th.—The '‘Times,, re- bukes Mr Asquith for his intendion’ to move the rejection of the Home Rule Bill, for such actions threaten to de- throne the Irish question from its true position as a great nation issue, and make 1t once more subject to merely p.rty contreversy. Meanwhile, there is published a vigorous protest to the Pre- miers by the anti-partitlon league, against this measure which will divide Ireland and leave the Southern Unionists without represz2ntation or power. As the signato- ries include some of the most infiuen- tial persons and representatives of bus- iness interest= in llreland- the protest cannot altogether be ignored. Washincton, Mareh 16th—A little bluff on the part of the Germans in 1918 at a crucia! point of the war would have jar- alysed the transportation of soldiers and war niat:rials between this country and Kurope, Admiral Simms told the Senate Naval Commitiee. Information from an thentle sources indicating that the Ger- mans were buillding two heavily armour- ed. battlecruisers tor a desnerate last hope raid against troopship ¢onvoys, was transmitted to the Navy 'Department and immediately he was besieged with ca- blegrams from Washington outlining various plans of action. all of which he tes ified were impraciicable, although such a conungency had been under dis- cussion tor nearly a year and there had been ample time to prepare.? If the en- emy only had known, says the Admiral, all he ieed have dcne was to make a se- ries of bluffs and everything including shipping would have been paralysed.
