Will Ireland get Home Rule? Several times it appeared to be very pear. and then something happened The nearest it Mme was passed act in to certain con- to defer it when parliament its favor, subject siderations which were prevented by the was Ireland contributed her quota of fighting men in anticipa- tion of her success in politics later, and then the Sinn Feiners dashed the hopes of the nationalists by their impetuous and criminal agtion. The rebellion, the clash of arms, the wounding and killing of many, the arrest and imprisonment of several hundreds, put Home Rule aside for the time being. Once more, and because some people could hdt await' the 'end of the war, the demand arose for Ire- land's parliament and a happy ex- pedient was adopted for settling the question The governgpent propos- ed to leave the issue with the Irish people They would meet in con- vention, discuss the subject, and, when agreed upon a basis of Home Rule, report to the imperial parlia- ment. The way seemed open for a solution of the difficulty at last. But again there is tremble. This time with the Sinn Feiners. They do not want a parliament for Ire- land alone, but a republic, without any reference to or connection with the British empire, and that is something the Nationalists will not stand for. So the war goes on among the Irish, and with the pro- spect of defeating the plans they have before them. The mission of the Tay Pay O'- Connor party to America has been explained. It is to lay .the National- ists' side of the question before "the Irish-Aniericans and win their con- tinued moral and financial support. The Sinn Feiners will at a subse- quent date send their mission to America. They favor the separation of Ireland from Britain, add they will find supporters. These have al- ready been heard from in denuncia- tion of Britain's meddling with the Irish convention, and to the extent of regulating its membership and appointing its chairman. The com- plaint is a weak one, but i is cha- racteristic of those who make i.

But the Sinn Feiners, in place of showing gratitude for the mercies they have received, immediately re- sorted to violence, to riots and bloodshed, and #f they escape the convention without a malee it will be surprising. an Would you believe it?

While the International Nickel Company is erecting a great refinery at Port Colborne, on Lake Erie, the British-American Nickel Corporation plans well under way for a large reduction plant in ithe neighborhood of Sudbury. Hundreds of men are already at work at the mines-which the Corporation is developing and the statement is that = extensive bodies of ore afe already in sight. It is repo that the British Gov- ernment controls $14,000,000 of the $20,000,000 at which the project is capitalized and that within two years the refinery will be producing 6.000 tons per annun of refined nickel for the Imperial authorities. These statements recall the fact that some- thing like 25 years ago the Ontario Government offered the British Ad- miraity a controlling interest in the Sudbury deposits. The Admiralty re- fused the offer, on the ground that not know, jut a (deeply, impressive picture of Raemaekers, {the fam- ous Dutch cartoonist), has been largely helpful in bringing home to the soul of the American nation that it is those who most love-peace who are most determined to wage this fight to the bitter end. The, picture is that of an American standing in a reverent attitude beforghtil cruci- fied Saviour. Under it are the words "If it be Thy fight, it is my fight." The quotation has a special signi- ficance in view of the demand by returned soldiers for a revived or redeemed church, or a church in which the "brotherhood of man will find a preference over musty creedsd' The Whig may be said to have this subject on the brain. Weil, it has, and largely because it is one witich requires the closest examina. tion at the present time. Will Ireland become a republic? Not likely. Yet that is the aim of the Sinn Feiners, and they are work- ing for it with all their might. ---------------- HELP OF. THE LIBERALS. Telegrams, It is said. are pouring into Ottawa in congratulation of the government upon Hs success in car- rying the Conscription Bill. "'Laud- ing the government for its loyal policy" is the way ohe announcement reads. Not a word about the support which the government received from the liberals. which it is receiving By GENE BYRNES i THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPEN Still gg Ah someaSaRe: i passing it preferred to buy in the open mar- ket. The refineries at Sudbury and Port Colborne should be able to handle all the nickel ore produced in Canada. The nationalization of the industry in the interests of Canada and of the British Empire, which was protiised some time ago by the Hearst Government is thus well on the road to realization. Two Brothers Drowned. Chatham, July ' 10--James and Wallace Brown, brothers, 19 and 17 years old respectively, employed oh a farm in Raleigh Township, were drowned in a dredge cut on Conces- sion Five. The bodies were taken from the cut a short time &fter the fatality, but fife was extinct.
