GIVE IRELAND TO AMERICA IS HIS SUGGESTION

Prominent British Criminal Lawyer Says British Government Has Failed. LONDON, April 15 (Correspond once of the A. P.). Solve Inland's troubles by turning the Island over to the United States. This plan, solrmnly suspected, is offered in a letter to the press by Sir Edward Marshall Hall, former member of parliament and one of the best known criminal lawyers In England. . "Succlssive British governments have failed signally to deal with the Irish Question," the letter says, "and at tho moment wo arc faced with grave disaster. As iwe have failed, why not ask the United States to help us and offer to hand over the government of Ireland to them?" "By to doing," the letter aillrms, "instead of creating a possible Gerujan menace within a few miles of our shores, we should bring our allies nearer to us, by! some thousands of wiles, and under their beneficent rule Ireland would prosper as It ha, never done before and we should have bound America to us by bonds of mutual gratitude."

"And above all," Sir Edward con-1 eludes, "no one of the Irish leaders:

John Robinson's circus, bag and bag

gage, arrived in Richmond Wednesday

morning, coming here from Kokomo,

where the show appeared Tuesday. A large crowd of circus fans witnessed the unloading of the various cars. Horses and wagons, animals on foot and in cages and a steady stream of paraphernalia passed - through the streets toward the old baseball park, where the circus tent was being pitched by hundreds of busy employes. Dining and cook tents were the first up and breakfast was served to the employes at about 9 o'clock. Hundreds of people lined Main street for many blocks and viewed the parade as it passed through the business district. Visitors began to arrive at the grounds in the wake of the parade and the crowds grew until the main doors opened when the masses began to stream through the menagerie and take their places under the "big top." All was noise and excitement. Bands played and various musical contrivances added to the din; "leatherlunged" orators called upon tho crowd to come in and see the "biggest and greatest show on earth." The circus program was made up of 27 displays, most of them keeping the three rings and the aerial rigging in

constant action. Funny clowns kept the crowd In laughter with their comical pranks. The performance Wednesday night will begin promptly at 8 o'clock, and the doors of the big tent will open an hour before this time to give patrons an opportunity to see the animals in the menagerie.

military committee tomorrow morning' to present the administration program for increasing the army to meet the

German drive.

THREE AMERICANS NAMED

DR. E. R. CHURGHELL . EXPRESSES THANKS . FOR COOPERATION

The following statement was issued Wednesday by Dr. E. R. Churcbell. who has resigned a3 chairman of the Wayne County Council of Defense: "It is with deep regret that I sever my connection with the Wayne County Council of Defense, but I feel that I can serve my country best in the medical department of the United States army. "The most important matter, at this time, seems to mo. to be the completion of the National read west of the city and the Main street bridge. "Owing to the fact that the railroads are overburdened with war work, the public, this summer, will Lave to depend largely, upon trucks, and the condition of the road we3t of the city is such that these trucks will be unable to get through unless the proposed improvements are carried out. The work on the Main street bridgp, I am to?d, is not progressing as rapidly as it might be, on account of the failure to get materials and labor. "I have taken the matter up with Mr. Wilson, secretary of the state Council of Defence, who feels as I do. that with this bridge out, the Doran bridge unsafe and the road torn up the main artery of road travel is severed. I believe with the aid of the State Council of Defense you can get materials and labor. "Laws have been passed or will be in the near future which will enable you to deal with the disloyal element and I certainly hope they will be prosecuted to the limit of the law. "I wish, at this time, to pay my respects to those' loyal people of German parentage in thi3 community, and to say, t?.at while we have seme disloyal people, they are in the minority. 'I wish to express my kindest regards for each member and my thanks for their loyal co-operation. . Ycurs res-pectfully, DR. E. It. CHURCHELL.

Back Up the Stars and Stripes with a gm Liberty Bond Flag Ey P. G. HOLDEN ii:-:?.:

THE hour for 100 per cent Americanism is here and now. , If we value the free institutions which are the foundations of American prosperity, American progress and American happiness ; if we love our homes and the sacred things for which they stand; if we honor womanhood and cherish childhood; if we want the privilege of performing lionest toil and receiving an honest wage; If we appreciate the opportunity of worshiping our God according to the dictates of our conscience if we would be the masters of our own destiny we must fight the monster of autocracy which already is reaching out to tear down tho ' ' - s that make life worth living We must fight this Intolerable Thing with every iota of oar ability, with every ounce of our strength, with every particle of our resources. U. S. Must Win War. Every day furnishes additional proof of the imperative necessity and wis

dom of America's catering the struggle. l-A-ery ueveiopmcnt at uie irunt is evidence that the TTnitcd States must win.the war. ,

We will wh it. It may require two years, nve years, ion years but we will win it. It is the struggle of the Insti

tution against immanity. io long rangu gun, no war machine, however perfect, is

bo strong as the human heart, as the love of freedom and justice and equality, as the might of right. We must win, but wo

cannot win unless wo have a war machino superior to that opposed to us. We need n still greater army and navy, but these would be useless without munitions and guns and airplanes and ships.

And to provide these requires m o n e y and more money. Our government has

asked ns for another $3,000,000,000, not os a gift, net in taxes, but as the third Liberty Bond loan. We should respond immediately, generously, enthusiastically. W6 should not stop at three billion. We should offer six billion, eves nine billion. The government lins salcl it may accept all we offer. But One Way to Secure Peace. Every heart yearns for pence, but there can be no peace except through the eternal crushing of the monster which made this war possible. We must $ack up "bur convictions with our dollars. We should create so gigantic a fund that the greatest fighting force the world has eve- en can be quickly organized to crush the Thing that threat ens our libert. ' Then peace will come and come speedily. In every American home there should be a Liberty Bond of the third issua We must buy bonds until it hurts. It Is not how few we can buy ; it is how many? A great sacrifice now will prevent a crushing sacrifice later. A Liberty Bond is an Insurance policy to safeguard our homes, to protect cur wives and children, to perpetuate our liberty. In thousands of homes there are service flags. In eypry American honif there should hanj the Stars and Stripes and a Liberty EonQ flag. We love thStars and Stripes, but the service flag and the Liberty Bond flag are tli2 bes; evidences of our devotion to Old Glory.
