TO SUPPRESS OUTRAGES. London, May it». Replying to Lord Salisbury in the House of Lords, the Lord Chancellor emphatically declared that it was the policy of the Government, whether the struggle was short or long, t'o eniplov the whole available resources of Britain to restore law and order in Ireland and render the .recessionary campaign now in progress utterly impossible. Tm» forces of Britain were as deeply committed to carrying to success the Goverhment's purpose in Ireland as they were in carrying out their purpose in the late war. If the troops were not sufficient more would be sent. The only limits would be the extent and degrees of the crisis. If the existing military formation was insufficient, the Government would not hesitate to ask the population of the country to increase the forces as in the crisis'of the war.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
