A despatch from London
says:The - Irish problem
again was brought up in the
House of Commons on Thurs-
day and the question of con-
ciliation between the Irish peo-
ple was raised. Premier Lloyd
George, giving his opinion in
the matter, declared:
1 I have always been con-
vinced that no policy of con-
ciliation is possible in Ireland
until the reign of terror has
been broken, for the very ob-
vious reason that men in Ire-
land who would be prepared
to enter into negotiations at
the present time are in terror
of their lives and cannot do so
freely.

BRITAIN ACCEPTS
U.S. BARRAGE PRICE
$4,500,000 Will Be Paid in
Connection With North
Sea Mines.
A. despatch from London says:-
The
ays:Tate United States Navy Department
finally has agreed to pay the British
Government £000,000, or $4,600;000 at
the pre-war rate of exchange, for the
civilian labor, material, transporta-
tion and port and shore station facili-
ties supp'aied in connection with bay-
ing and taking up the, great North
Sea -mine barrage."
The British originally eleinre,3
£7:,250,000, including charges for en-
" listed labor loaned to the United
States Governments regarding the
amount the ]ratter should pay for the
British "blockade" purchases of Swed-
ish taxon and molybdenum, the latter
being a ,metallic mineral element used
for hardening steel for tools. The
British Government bought this to
prevent Germany ;from doing tso, and
when America entered the war it was
formally agreed that she should pay
part of the cost. For this purpose
President Wilson set aside $6,000,000.
Although Great Britain made a hand-
some profit on the iron ore deal, the
lost` about an equal amounton the
molybdenum transaction.
A recent report.of the,United Grain
