The Way Out.

RUSHING HOME RULE

THROUGH

Received .10.50 a.m. this day London, April 22.

It is expected that the Government will introduce the Home Rule Bill at the end of next week and it will be pressed with the utmost urgency. The opinion grows that the way out of the impasse will possibly be found by permitting the Dublin Parliament to initiate methods most acceptable to the Irish people for increasing the army without conceding the authority of the Army or Navy.

RESISTING CONSCRIPTION. Received this day 7 at J 0.5 a.m. London, April 22. A congregation at Galway, headed by the police, marched to Eyre Square and took the oath of resistance. Bishop O'Dea said conscription was likely to work a grave menace physically to the healthy rem nant of the Irish race. He blessed resistance by every means within God's law. The Bishops everywhere urge cool respect for the law and no violence. In Tipperary, after Maes, ten thousand persons took the pledge with uplifted handsi. Archbishop Casel, preaching at Thurles, said that, before paying a blood tax, Ireland demanded the right to impose its own taxation. Lord Dunraven, in a letter to [the newspapers, protests that Ireland is selfish beyond expression. If she persists she will grievously suffer in the loss of self-respect and will forfeit the esteem of all nations. WHERE IJ-BOATS ARE USELESS. Received this day, at 9.35. Amsterdam, April 22. Captain Wuhlwetter, writing to the Lokal Aqzeiger, replying to a question as to why the Üboats cannot prevent the transport of American troops, points out that the warships _ convoying the troops are extraordinarily strong and fast, and are protected by special anti-submarine devices rendering attack (most difficult and dangerous. Sinking transports would entail unprofitable sacrifices. The aim of the submarine warfare will be attained by sinking other steamers.
