ULSTER IN
LONDON, April 10 (by mail).—A
plan tc safeguard the interests of Ul
8(*r by giving It3 iVpresentati/er. a
veto power in the proposed new Irish
parliament over measures which con
flict with Ulster interests/ has been
characterized by Premier Lloyd
George as "a workable expedient’.’
This fact has just been disclosed by
making public a letter which the pre
mier wrote to Sir Horace Plunkett,
chairman of the Irish convention, some
time ago, when the convention be
came deadlocked over the Ulster ques
tion and sent delegates to confer with
the premier in London.
"The government understand,”
wrote Mr. Lloyd George, "that it has
been suggested that a safeguard of
Ulster interests might be secured by
provision of an Ulster committee
within the Irish parliament, with
power to modify and if necessary ex
clude the application to Ulster of cer
tain measures either of legislation or
administration which are not conso
nant with the interests of Ulster. This
appears to be a workable expedient,
whereby special consideration of Ul
ster conditions can be secured and
the objections to the single legisla
ture for Ireland overcome.”
Despite the premier's approval of
this plan, the Ulster Unionist dele
gates to the Irish convention declined
to participate in any scheme of self
government for Ireland.
Outlining broadly the views of the
British government on the Irish home
rule question, Premier Lloyd George
wrote to Sir Horace Plunkett as fol-;
low*:
“Questions on which there is an;
icute difference of opinion in Ireland i
snd Great Britain must be held over
for determination until after the war."
rhe premier considered the control of
the Irish customs and excise one of
the problems that must await the
conclusion of peace, for he said:
"The government suggests that dur
ng the period of the war and for the
period of two years thereafter the
control of customs and excise should
be reserved to the United Kingdom
parliament; that as soon as possibl:
after the Irish parliament has be- \
sstablished a joint exchequer board
ihould be set up to secure the deter
mination of the true revenues of lre
and.”
He explained to Sir Horace in the
letter that “it would be practically
impossible to make such a distribu
tion of the fiscal and financial rela
tions of Great Britain and Ireland in
the midst of the great war” as would:
result in an attempt to transfer to
the Irish parliament control of tlv
Irish customs.
“The government consider,” wrote
the premier, “that during the period,
of the war the control of all taxation
other than customs and excise should
be handed over to the Irish parlia
ment,” but he stipulated that Ireland
should contribute an agreed propor
tion of the annual expenditure of the i
United Kingdom.
Main features of the customs plan;
approved by Mr. Lloyd George were
adopted, in a majority report of the
Irish convention. Whether they wi l
be put into effect depends upon the
action taken by the imperial parlia
ment on the Irish home rule bill.

WASHINGTON. May 18.—There is
almost no trace of the horrors of war
in “Plane News,” a newspaper edited
and printed by soldiers of the Ameri
can expeditionary force in France.
The war anniversary issuq, dated “On
Active Service, April 6, 1918,” just
received here, tells of minstrels and
vaudeville, symphony concerts and
literary contests, and the little every
day complaints of the men of the avi
ation corps.
For those Americans back home
who grow weary in well-doing, the
newspaper is one grand topic of op
timism. Stretching across the top of
the paper’s four pages is the para
phrase of Secretary Redtield's famous
letter to his bureau chiefs:
“Forget how things were done be
fore the war. Eliminate red tape. We
must learn with the Germans that the
war won t wait. Delay is the kaiser's
ally.”
The corps is proud of what has been
accomplished in the first year of war.
Prominence is given in the paper to
an official communication from Brig.
Gen. B. D. Foulois, chief of the air
service, to Lieutenant Colonel Walter
G. Kilner, commanding officer of the
post, saying that the progress made
has met with high approval from both
Secretary Baker, whose picture,
sketched by an army artist, appears
on another page, and General Per
shing. An article reviewing the tre
mendous expansion of the signal corps
appears under the signature of Cadet
William B. Stone of Kansas City, Mo.,
formerly of the San Francisco and
Chicago offices of the Associated
Press, in which he quotes a high of
ficer as declaring confidently:
“When the American airplanes are
ready for the front we will have pilots
to drive them.”
But it is with the recreation of the
students and pilots that the paper is
chiefly concerned. William Janau
shek of New York, doing Y. M. C. A.
work with the army, organized a min
strel show among the aviation cadets
which was pronounced without an i
equal among A. E. F. shows.
From ragtime the paper turns toj
concertos for diversion. A seventy-'
five-piece symphony orchestra is be
ing organized under the leadership;
of Lieutenant Von Ezdorf. When music |
palls there is wrestling, with trophies j
for the champions. For the less
brawny, literary contests are pro
vided, with prizes for the funniest
poem and the funniest story dealing
with army life.
Professional players also are in
France to help the boys in their fight
by giving them wholesome amuse
ment. Elsie Janis was booked to ap
pear twice at the main “Y.”
Then there are numerous informal
notes about some of the personnel,
which perhaps never were intended
to percolate back to the Sates. Un
der the caption of “What a Uniform
Can Do.” the exploits of “Harvey,
48th,” are recounted. It is alleged
that he receives thirteen letters daily
and openly boasts that he has a girl
In Columbus, San Antonio, Arkansas
City, St. Louis, Toledo, Cleveland,
Erie, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse,
Brooklyn and I-. For some rea
son the name of the last town was
camouflaged by" dashes.
“The Height of Misfortune” has
been found by the camp paragrapher.
He records: *“An officer and a cadet
on this post correspond with the same
girl back home, and the officer cen
sors the cadet’s mall.”
The tragedy of war has found the
reflection, however, in the midst of
the merrymaking. Touched by the
sufferings of the people among whom
they are living, the boys have adopted
several French war orphans. Chron
icling the fact that Plane News has
adopted an orphan, the paper says:
The boys, from the skipper righ
down to the printer’s devil, have con
tributed to the support of the little
French demoiselle.’”
The managing editor of Plane News
is Captain F. Kearney.
