MEDELY TO SAFEGUARD LAW AND ORDER..

London, July 14. With regard to the Trade Union Congress resolution of July 13, in favour of a general strike to compel the withdrawal of troops from Ireland, the Irish Office has issued a statement emphasising that the sole purpose of the troops in Ireland is to assist civil power to maintain law and order and to def-nd Ireland: they are in no wise as Army of Occupation. Military Law has not been proclaim ed but the mere presence of troops is found to act as a check on the campaign of outrage. It is abundantly proved that responsible Irish opinion welcomes the intervention of armed forces and it is impossible to withdraw the troops and leave the law-abiding majority and peaceful agents of the civil Government at the mercy of the forcee of disorder.

London, July 13.

Bir Frank Barnes is designing a National War Memorial for Hyde Park Corner, consisting of a gigantic Fylon, with two flanking Temples. The style of the design is Egyptian with great bas reliefe symbolical of the efforts of the Empire. The whole design embodies the one idea of " kacrifice.”

London. July 13.

A message from Spa says it is authoritatively asserted that Mr. Lloyd George has received a message from the Bolsheviks accepting the Allied proposals for an Armistice. The statement lacks con- frmation.
