Cotamons Rejects Draft for
, Ireland $f ter Bitter De-
bate' on Compulsion
CELT MANIFESTO FRAMED
LONDON, May 10 No Irish lead
ers hnvo been, executed at Dublin
since Monday, Premier Asaulth an-
nounced in Commons this afternoon,
Ho added that he hoped it would b,
unnecessary to execute any more of
the Irish leaders.
LONDON, May 10, nojectlon In Com-
rnona of tho bill to extend complete com
pulsion to Ireland and a rapproachement
of tho Redmond and Carson forcos marked
tho Irish situation yesterday
That Homo Itulo for Ireland Is definite
ly In night and may be foreshadowed In a
manifesto to tho Irish people, to ba pub
lished this week Is almost certain to
provo to 1)0 tho result of pestcrday's con
feronco between John Redmond, tho No
tionalist lender, and Sir Edward Carson,
chief of the Ulstcrlto Unionists.
It Is understood that tho terms of tho
I manifesto havo been nBrced upon, but that
Its publication lias been withheld until
Thursday, so as to secure Its simultaneous
appearance In all parts of Ireland, Va
rious rumors wero current in the lobble's
of Parliament tonight concerning negotia
tions botwoon tho Government nnd tho
Irish parties, but nothing Is llkoly to bo
decided upon by tho latter until after
Premier yVsquIth's pronouncement on tho
Irish situation, which Is expected tomor
row.
Thus it loftks ns though Ireland's unfor
tunato axporlcnco of tho last fow weeks
might become tho Indirect means of ad
Justing in a manner satisfactory to all
parties tho dlfilcult Homo Rulo problem,
which was hung up with tho outbreak of
tho war.
DRAFT DEBATE BITTER.
Tho House of Commons, at Its lato ses
sion, Indulged In n bitter debnto on the
military sorvlco bill nnd on the, rebellion
and .executions in Ireland.
Premier Asquith had announced when
tho Houso opened that tho casualties,
among the Government troops nnd pptlco
In tho Irish uprising totaled 124 killed,
S8S wounded and 9 mlBsing, and early
In tho debato Sir Edward Carson Belzed
tho opportunity to arraign tho Govern
ment for falling to suppress tho antl
recrultlng campaign In Ireland, which ho
believed had largely led to tho recent dis
astrous events. Sir Edward demanded
that Iroland bo Included In tho measure
on compulsory servlcp.
John Redmond besought tho Housq, not
only for tho sako of Ireland, but for tho
sako of thb Empire, not to force con
scription upon the Irish people, Tho do
bato reached a climax when Sir John
Brownleo Lonsdale, whip of tho Irish
Unionist party, moved that) Ireland should
bo included In tha operation of com
pulsion, Pr'nler Asquith opposed tho motion,
and it was Anally voted down without
division, Tho Prlmq Minister In his
speech said that a very lnrgo number
of the representatives of Ireland wero not
at the moment prepared to accept com
pulsion In Iroland and that it was not
deslrablo that tho country should be
plunged Into a controversy on tho Bubjcct
at this time. Ireland had just undergone
a terrible ordeal, but tho result of It, ho
believed, would be to establish tho founda
tion among loyal Irishmen of n larger
measure of agreement than there ever
had been in tho past.
The Premier asked what could bo worse
than that tho representatives of Ireland
should bo forcod into a conflict at this
moment The Government, ho added, was
reviewing with tho utmost caro the
military arrangements In Ireland and tho
matter of bearing arms, and ho hoped a,
common agreement would bo reached.
GLORV WON BY IRISH SOLDIERS.
"Certainly, sines tho Coalition Govern
ment was Instituted," said Mr. Redmond,
"I had no power In tho Government of
Ireland. My opinions have been over-'
borne and my suggestions rejected. It Is
my profound conviction that If wo had
bod power and responsibility during the
last few years the recent occurrences In
Ireland would never havo arisen."
Mr, Redmond proceeded to declare it
unfair to leavo the Impression that Ire
land had not' done well In recruiting.
Bha had moro than 150,000 men now
