REPRESSION IN IRELAND.

LONDON, March 29.

Replying to a question in Parliament, Lloyd George declined to give an undertaking that there would be no deportations or arrests in Ireland except under ordinary law, pending the passage of the Irish Bill. He declared that the government would take all steps in their power to perform their first duty of protecting the lives of Irish Cizens. (cheers) Replying to Mr. Devlin, he emphasised that as long as the present terrorism and intimidation existed in Ireland, it would be absolutely impossible to get the evidence necessary to bring the arrested men to trial. As long as eye-witnesses to crimes with which they did not in the least sympathise were prevented by grosa intimidation from giving evidence against the criminals, the government must resort to abnormal measures.

LONDON, March 25th.

A telegram from Washington states tha, t is understood that while President Wil son's Nots with reference to Turkey, which he is despatching shortly, favours the expulsion of the Turks, from Constantino- ple, it also suggests that the question should

left be open until Bussia is able to parti cipate in the discussions. Armenia should be given all the possible territory with an outlet to the sea.

The Mobam. medan world would resent the expulsion of the Turks from Constantinople,"
