IRISH BILL ' IS PRAISED

BY PRESS - London NewsoaDers SuDDort Home Rule Measure But - Expect Opposition in Ireland. SOME ARE SKEPTICAL (By Associated Press) LONDON. Deo.' 23. Aside from one or two Irreconcilable anti-home rale journals. London newspapers this morning give, on the whole, a favor able reception to the government's new scheme: for Irish self government None, however expresses genuine ex pectation of the success of the plan. While It is recognized that such hill as Premier Lloyd Oeorge outlined yesterday the fourth home rule meas ure to be presented to parliament will be absolutely rejected by a large section of the Irish people and regarded with suspicion and distrust by - others, it is contended it deserves to be fairly considered and tried?" The Daily News, perhaps the most thorough champion of home rule of the i London newspapers and a severe critic ' - of Premier Lloyd George and the coalition government, says: "The government bill gives Ireland a greater degree of autonomy since it sets up an Irish parliament and it manifestly contemplates the probability of a United Irish parliament. In the desperate situation in which Ireland now stands this offer so far as Englishmen can Judge, should not be rejected out of hand, assuring it to be honestly put forward." Best Way Out. BeUet that the bill offers the only possible way out of the Irish tangle is expressed by the Liberal Chronicle, which says on the whole the measure appears generous. Foreseeing the plan will be opposed nearly everywhere in Ireland, largely because "none of the contending factions is really willing to be fair to any of the others," the newspaper says : "The government, the British people and the British parliament must recognize and discount these oppositions in advance. Only in such a way can any change which is either Just or workable be achieved in Ireland." Approves Plan. The Daily Mall declares it to be a better scheme , than any previous government has produced and an honest endeavor conceived with a single aim of ministering to the good of Ireland while maintaining the ; unity of the British empire. .'' - In commenting oh' the" bill the Tele graph describes it as "a - proposal which will commend itself to freedoii loving minds everywhere as a just and fair tender, of self government." . Representing the extreme - unionist position, the Morning Post says: vf Disapproves Action. "It is a bad settlement, bad for Ire- ' land, because it does not settle the Irish question and bad for Great Britain because it weakens the United Kingdom. It is merely the climax of long betrayal. We have chosen as a rooted policy to be friends to our .enemies and enemies to our friends." While it is realized everywhere that no support of the measure may be ex pected from Ireland, hope is expressed that when English opinion has passed the scheme into law men will be ultimately in Ireland to give it effect and evolve gradually a peaceful settleyment. DUBLIN, Dec. 23. In commenting upon the speech made by Premier Lloyd George in the House of Com mons yesterday during which the pre mier outlined the provisions of the proposed Irish home rule bill, the Freeman's Journal says Mr. Lloyd George "In the presence of the American ambassador but in the absence of every representative of the majority of the Irish people, explained to the house his panacea for the ills of Ire land." "Even the few Irish Nationalist members who have survived the prime minister's past treacheries and betrayals absented . themselves," the newspaper continues. "They probably had a forecast that their gesture of contempt would be warmly approved by the whole Irish nation and race. As a matter of fact they were merely obeying the command of their dead leader, given when he and they withdrew from the ,' house upon the first declaration of the prime minister's intentions to perman ently partition their country. The Irish Times says that for many reasons "some good, some bad, some wise and some mad," three-quarters of the Irish people will reject the bill "Its principle is hateful alike to the Unionists and Nationalists" the news paper says. British Mission Obtains Bacon at Cheap Price (By Associated Press) LONDON, Dec. 22.

Early ratification of the treaty was predicted by some senators with prospects of such action before Jan. lo, which would give President Wilson an opportunity to lift war time prohibition and grant the country a wet period before the constitutional amendment becomes effective on that date.

PROIIIOITION CAUSE MADE GREAT 6AIUS III 1919, DECLARES S, EDGAR NICHOlSOtl

"In view of the uncertain status of war prohibition in the courts and because of more .or less lax enforcement of the war time prohibition act which we have had. in many cities,. the . officials of the Anti-Saloon League have been really surprised at the results especially In the larger cities of the country where there has been a marked decrease in the total number' of arrests for all causes as well as for intoxications." said S. Edgar Nicholson, national secretary and organizer of the Anti-Saloon League, today. Mr. Nicholson pointed to the steps which have been taken during the last year, referring first to the completion of the ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment, during the first three or four months of 1919. 15 States Ratify "Fifteen states had ratified in 1918.
