BLUE BLOOD.

A DUCAL DIVORCE

INEVITABLE END.

Sir Hamar Greenwood, in reply, emphasised that the cessation of the provocation to which the armed forces in Ireland were subjected would mean that Ireland would automatically become peaceful. He declared that the majority of the Irish people were on the best of terms with the soldiers and the police. They wanted peace and were getting peace because the forces of the Crown were breaking the terror, but as for the minority of extremists who murder. burn, steal unifortas and. inspire questions in the House of Commons (Uproad) there was Ho solution except to seize and punish them. Sir Hamar Greenwood, went ou to say that the Government had certain knowledge that some American newspaper correspondents enjoyed the hospitality of the murder gang in Ireland and sent their newspapers matter intended to hurt Anglo-American friendship and do their best to damage the British Empire, but the last į attractions than even three with American election showed that they had failed to make the Irish question an issue.

STRICT DISCIPLINE ENFORCED.

Sir Hamar Greenwood then dealt with the attacks on creameries, of which there were 710 in Ireland, of which 41 were alleged to have been damaged or destroyed and others more or less slightly damaged He denied that they were destroyed systematically. They were sometimes the rendezvous for sections of the IRA, and in some cases destruction was justified As an illustration of the strict discipline in force Sir Hamar Greenwood pointed out that not a pane of glass was broken in Dublin after the murder of fourteen officers. There was no policy of reprisals and numbers of soldiers and police who were found guilty of loating and other offences had been punished.

ASSASSINS, SICK OF MURDER.

neither commonly believe. The Duke in 1595 was a presentable young man with that touch of vulgarity in his appearance common to all the Churchills and which proves, what ever radicals may say, that there is something in blood after all. As for the Duchess, a once popular song said "I should be called an attractive girl, if my papa were a noble earl.” so bow much more when papa is a multi-millionaire. The Duke, like many another adventurous young man, went to America to seek his for tune. Not that he was penniless. There were twenty thousand acres and a palace, also the perpetual pension of £5,000 a year (which really ought to be put on a dollar basis now), but more ready cash was required to keep up the position properly, and it was found in the great Republic.

Sir Hamar Greenwood criticised Mr. Asquith for not yet having done anything to assist the soldiers and police in their dificult task He mentioned that under Mr. Asquith's administration the RI.C. was There was much display over the disheartened and underpaid, whereas he (Sir Hamar Greenwood) wedding, itcluding a complete had succeeded in restoring the morale of the Force.
