8 1 The Convention of Wish represent.
' ativeei of different views and partieli,
---"r , under the wise and calm leadership
4 I of Sir Horace Plunkett, has. struggled
11 with the difficult problem of ,Home
i8 Rule for Many months. Its intreose
2was not to find a basis upon which a
5
majority of the individual members
conk* agree; it was necessary to have
agreement between the large political
elements, The report ;which has just
been made to Parliament in, Sir Hor-
ace show* simply a deadlock as to
such .an, agreement of sections and
parties. It still renins true that
e
the Nationalists will n t accept a plan
for Home Ride which ' ayes the pro-
testing Ulster counties out; that the
Ulster, counties will not consent to
any scheme of Home Rule under which
they should be governed in local mat-
ters by the majority in an Irish Par-
liaznent; while a third body of Irish-
men will consent to Inothing except
complete separation from Great Bri-
tain. The last class was not officially
represented in the Convention. be-
cause their political faction, the Sinn
Fein, flatly refused to take. part.
•The only agreement which the con-
ference could reach was that of a Ma-
jority of the members of the 'Conven-
tion as -to certain specific measures -
to be recommended, not that cif the
'different parties to accede to any pro-
posed plan as a whole. The agreement,
such as it wan; was presented in a
series of resdlutions whiCh recom-
mended the giving of full powers over
internal legislation to an Irish Parlia-
m.ent and. tile postponement of the dif-
ficult matter of the custonis, and ' of
free trade with England, ileaving
meanwhile the power of imposing dut-
ies with the -Imperial Parliament, the
proceeds of these duties to be paid
into the Irish treasury, Sir Horace
Plunkett declared that the difficulties
Iof the Convention lay in two Words:
Ulster and the Customs. And as
the Ulster Unionist delegates were
immovably opposed to any form of
Rule which would compel Ulster
to have lot or part in an
Irish Parliament, we certainly seem
• no nearer a workable elan of Home
Rule for all Ireland thaijbefore. ./
Thus,. fofethe presenta. t least, fails
England's attempt to peisuede Ireland
to solve the Home Rule question for
itself. There has never been a day
since the Home Rule Bill was signed
on which England would not willingly
hate enacted legislation to put in force
the -law which Parliament has passed
if Ireland could have agreed upon a
method. The only reservation would
be that Ireland should rernairi part of
the British Empire, .and that the Im-
perial Parliament in which Ireland
should be represented, should rule in
the affairs of the Empire.
With this in mind, the unreasoing
nature of Irish politicians in resisting
Conscription in Ireland becomes evi-
• dent. On the on hand, they declare
that if there is to be, conscription ‚it
should be enacted by an Irish Parlia-
ment; on the, ptherettand„nney . refuse
to agree among themselvee upon any
compromise- bv which an Irish Parlia-
ment May be brought into existence.
They claim that in the matter of con-
.seription they should have the privi-
lege which -Canada and Australia have
had—of sebmitting to their own peo-
ple a conscription bill. 'There are
obnious reasons why the relation. of
Ireland to tile Imeprial Governnient
• must for a long time be different from
that of the far -distant realms which
• have 'practised self-government for
many years. An Irish.referendum on
conscription before Ireland had be-
gun to govern herself -would be a pat-
ent. absurdity.

THE WAR srrumixoN
The eagerlyawaited • resumption
of the great German drive opened
early on Monday .morning last, and
like its predecessors, gives the initial
gain to the enemy. The Germans by
overwhebnineiumbers, in sorae
cases', ten tp on,, have swept over the
Allies Brit lino of defence and in some
ease% the second And third lines. The
offensive was opened with. brief but
intense artillery preparation, largely
consisting of gas' shells. A 'blow Was
truck- in two distinct quarters by tide
Gerken arnnies, which have been re-
organized since the tremendous losses
were inflicted on them by the French
and British during the Picardy and
Flanders ,battles in March and April,
One Was on a forty mile front between
Soissons and Rheims and the other
was in Flanders. So far as the re-
,sumptioneof the offensive in Flanders
is concerned, the Germans have gained
nothing, while their casualties have
-been extremely heavy. In the north,
however, the situation is different.
Here the offensive ie looked upon as
a direct drive on Paris and it would'
seem as if the Germans despairing of
smashing the Beitish, and 'reaching
the Channel ports, have now directed
all their energies in an effort to defeat
the French army and reach Paris, a
distance of some sixty miles. With a
German army in Paris, there is no
doubt but that the enemy would have
something to say about peace terms,
but as yet the German army is not in
Paris, nor at the present rate of their
first success in this latest offensive
is there any prospect of their ever
reaching it. On the other hand the
Germans have -administered a rather
severe setback to the Allies, who have
lost .all the ground in the Chemin Des
Dames region which was captured by
the French in the great offensive of
last yearThe enemy has driven a
wedge into the Allied line on a front
of some 25 miles, to a dept of -eight
miles in the centre and heavy fighting
still continues. Here the Germans
who have been using a force of over
half a million men against greatly in-
ferior numbers of Allied troops'have
reacehd their greatest success. Rapid
as has been their progress in the drive
however, no where have they broken
the Allied line which under every
rush has given ground it is true, but
in perfect alignmentfighting every
foot and forcing the Germans to pay
double price -for all the territory gain-
ed. In fact with such precision has
the retirement been conducted that
both the British and French troops
have been able to carry back with
them all .of their supplies and guns,
or destroy those they have been un-
able to handle. The: latest reports
from the front show that while the
violence of the enemy's effort is yet
unabated, he is only making headway
in the crentre an.d even there the Ger-
man speed is showing signs of slacken-
ing. It is too early yet to say to
what extent the Germans have been
successful. and while the situation is
serious, it is not more so than it was
at the height of the former GeArlmlian
'efforts since March last and the ed
command express severe- confidence in
Meanwhile there are two very co-
gent reasons why conscription in Ire-
land is neCessary. In the first place,
it is a continual confession of moral
• weakness for the Government of Great
. Britain to exempt Ireland from the
law under which all other portions of
the realm of Great Britain and Ireland
are called upon te aid in the struggle
for world- liberty. There is neither
• legally nor morally any reason why
Ireland should not be treated precisely
as Wales or Scotland' are treated. S,he
is an -integral part of the Kingdom;
her liberties are in danger as well as
those of the other portions of the King-
dom;and her oppression under German
• domination would be as greati She
has long been treated, certainly for
the last twenty-five years, not only
• with substantial justice, but in certain
• ways with liberality. Special conces-
• sions and laws have given to her
peasants and tenants advantages
• which 'those classes possess 'nowhere
else in Great Britain.
Parliament mu -stand should govern
Ireland as it governs the rest of the
territory now 'under its . rule; to do
otherwise would be a confession of im-,
potence. It would react in many ways
•on the,critical struggle in which the
nation is now engaged.
• it is true that, sometimes, not fun-
damental principle but expediency
must govern. But when a practical
statesman like the Prime Minister de-
clares that the time has come for ap-
plying the conscription law without a
special exemption for Ireland, Parlia-
ment is justified in accepting that de-
cision as sound and -necessary, Evi-
dently the House of Commons thought
so, for it passed the seco-nd reading of
the Government's Man Power Bill by
a vote of 323 to. 20. It is (lilac poss-
ible that the bill may be Modified in
its future stages and, indeed., Mr. As-
quith indicated his intention to make
such -proposals. Mr. Boner Law de-
clared that the decision was in.ade af-
ter mature consideration, and that if
the Irish section were rejected the
whole bill would fall. He added that
the Government was asking Ireland
to do nothing which was not asked
from the citizens of every. belligerent
country. In his great speech oie the
present condition of the war, prelud-
ing the introduction of the Man Power
Bill, Mr. Lloyd George pointed out
that. no Home Rule plan ever sub-
mitted proposed to deprive the Im-
perial Parliament of the power of
their ability to hold again. So far, as dealing with all questions relating to
the army and navy. With reason he
declared that it is noilonger possible.

sacl ejrent occurred at the barn of Mr.
W. M. Bell. a mile west of our vill-
age Sa Thursday afternoon last. It
appears that Mr. John Vollick of- the
Township of Hay, had been engaged
by Mr. Bell to shingle his barn on the
2nd concession of Hay, adjoining his
home, and about five o'clock,1Mr. Bell
had occasion .to come to 'Rennin and
left Mr. Vollick shingling on the east
side and when on his way hoine- the
sad news reached him that Mr. Vollick
had been found by passers-by lying
-dead on . west side of the barn. The
coroner and a. couple a other. doctors
were quickly on. the spot but found life
had expired, and a very careful ex-
amination by the three doctors failed
to discover any Marks or bruises on
the body of the deceased which would
indicate that he had fallen and it is
thought that he had attempted to
come down from the building at the
north end on a little !shed or lean-to,
. and that the shingles /had given away
from his grasp and that the start he
received from such had brought on
heart failure as he was not a strong
or robust man and was over 70 years
• of are. The remains were taken to
the home of, Mr., Jas. Green, a neigh-
bor, as the deceased was living alone,
save an invalid son, and the funeral
was held, on Saturday .ifternoon last
to the Fannsville cemetkv. The de-
ceased was a quiet, ' indinstrious inan
who lived quite a lonesome life, his
wife having predeceased him a number
of years ago and his three surviving
-daughters-all beinginnteried and living,
at a distance leavieg him with the'
one invalided son, another son having
enlisted some timeeagq and. being kill-
ed in action. The funeral was quite
largely attended by the 'neighbors and
friends of the deceased.—The Sacra-
