A despatch from London says:
Robert Colvin, president, at the meet-
ing of the Bank of Ireland in Dublin,
said that trade in all departments of
Ireland's industrial life was extraor-
dinarily active. It was difficult to
realize In this favored' island we were
in the middle of the third year of the
great war. The flax industry in the
North was prosperous. Exports of
Irish linen the past year were £2,000,-
000 morein value than the preceding
year. Shipbuilding and agriculture
were prosperous. The prices of cattle,
horses and livestock were extraordin-
ariiy high. The price of oats, barley
and wheat were more than double
those of normal years.
POTATOES IN AUSTRIA
SCARCE AS GOLD PIECES.
A. despatch from Amsterdam says:
The Vienna"Arbeiter Zeitung declared
on Sunday that the cold of the pre-
vious nine days has shown an inten-
sity that no one expected. The Dan-
ube is half frozen. Frost is restrict-
ing the provisioning of markets,
causing an increase in the difficulties
of housewives. The journal says;
"Potatoes, unfortunately, belong to
the treasures. How much acuteness
people apply to obtain this food de-
spised in peacetime not infrequently,
is shown when one reads of some
well-off woman exchanging a beauti-
ful dress for two hundredweight of
potatoes. If the cold continues nota-
toes will be sought like gold pieces,"

said. "The ' fortunes of battle may

Referring to the new German sub-

"It is impossible to dispute the gra-

been supplemented by'other measures
such as the arming of merchantme
acceleration of new tonnage and all
cation of the tonnage resources of th

special object of countering the Ge

Mr. 'Asquith said he would not wast

for peace which," he declared, "wer
put out by the enemy with trans-
parent insincerity, but the country
was bound to giverrespectful atten-

would blot out the geographical boun-

caused consternation in Berlin Parlia-
mentary circles, particularly in its re-
lation to the air campaign against
Great Britain, and as the first official
admissionof the failure of recent
overseas flight. The recommenda-
tions of the experts are based on the
factethat practical experience has re-
vealed fundamental defects in the Zep-
pelins, which are condemned as too
unwieldy, too susceptible to weather,
and altogether too vulnerable. The
surface expa"3 of the Zeppelin Is held
to be so great that in order to present
a small target to the enemy the

heights at which all accuracy in bomb -
