UNREST IN IRELAND."

LONDON, May Nth.- -Murders and outrages in Ireland grow more terrible daily. The vendetta against the Police has intensified. The Lord- Lieutenant and the executive officers are virtually prisoners in the country. They Cars only able to leave their retreats in | armoured enTS.

The situation is far worse than a month Ago. The release of the hunger strikers added fresh fuel to the murder campaign.

Mr. Bonar Law made an important announcement in the House of Commons with reference to Canada to-night. He said the Anglo Canadian governments had arranged to provide more complete representation in one day during the past week. fourteen of Canadian interests than hitherto."

The minister would be instructed by and report direct to the Canadian government. In the absence of the ambassador the Canadian minister would take charge of the whole embassy and the representation of imperial as well as of Cannadian interests. He would be accredited by His majesty to the President with the necessary powers. ?

Replying to Lt. Com. Kenworthy, Mr. Bonar Law stated that Poland had not consulted Britain before taking the offensive against Russia. Though a provisional eastern frontier for Poland had been laid down, the Allies, were not yet able to determine it definitely. No useful purpose could be served at present by submitting the question to arbitration or the League of Nations.

Replying to Capt. Wedgwood Benn, he stated that the government did not favour the suggestion that the supreme council in any form should be made permanent as a co-equal or superior authority to the council of the League of Nations.

Replying to Sir G. Elliott he said he had no reason to anticipate that Hungary would refuse to sign the peace treaty.
