CARDINAL LOGUE’S ADVICE.

London, April 29. Cardinal Logue, speaking at a confirmation service at Tyrone, warned the people against the commission of any crime.

He knew for a fact that if the Irish abandoned crime they could obtain anything necessary for their country. They would never achieve an Irish Republic so long as England had a man to fight. If they get a full measure of self-gov-ernment, with the control of taxes, that would give them all they asked for.

There are many rumors current regarding the Government terms of settlement. One is that the police and soldiers will be confined to barracks during, the elections provided the Sinn Feinters undertake not to interfere with the people’s free voting. Another is that a referendum will be compulsory in Ulster every three to six years on the question of a single Parliament and their inclusion. —Times Service.
