John Redmond Bitterly
Denounces Asquith
LONDON, July 24.—Tonight the
House of Commons was treated to
the most bitter attack that the As
quith government so far has expe
rienced from any quarter when
John Redmond bitterly attacked
Asquith for his dilatory tactics in
regard to Home Rule. Redmond
denounced in scorching fashion the
Britisti government, accused it of
inveigling Irishmen into the service
under the promise of Home Rule;
by delaying the fulfilment of that,
promise causing the Irish rebellion
by the Seln Feiners. Asquith hail
deliberately broken faith with the
Irish and was fast causing everyone
in the country to regard with mis
trust every promise and every obli
gation of the British officials.
Redmond has been a loyal sup
ported of the British government
and this accentuated the lashing
which he administered.

IRISH QUESTION ACUTE
IN THE BRITISH COMMONS
LONDON, July 24.—The Asqultn
government may be wrecked over
the Irish question which is now
reaching the acute stage in parlia
ment.
The Ulster conference has re
sulted in a reluctant agreement
having been made to accept a modi
fied Home Rule with Ulster exclud
ed temporarily from its provisions.
The Asquith government is pre
pared to enforce at once this modi
fled form of Home Government for
Ireland, but. there has arisen onpo
sition in the ranks or both unionbis
and nationalists which may def.;at
the government in its proposal.
Asquith has let it be known that
an adverse vote on this proposi
tion will not be considered a de
feat of its general policy by the
government, thus indicating that
its success is by no means a fore
gone conclusion.
The nationalists who fight tht»
concession declare that all of Ul
ster must be included within tho
scope of the measure and that tho
unionists In Ulster represent only
a minority of the people, contrary
to the general notion.
A quith claims that recent events
have shown the unwisdom of sett
ing further back this question tor
immediate settlement and that it
must be disposed of at once.
