IRISH SITUATION CAUSE
LONDON. Aug. 2.
A politician of tho highest stnndlng paid
last night that there in a general feeling
In tho House of Commons at present that
tho Government Is on its last legs nnd that
the end may come any clay. It was shaken
tremendously by tho Mesopotiimlan scandal
and by subsequently having accepted direc
tions from tho House rigardlng the com
position of the commissi of Inquiry.
Tho Government's prostlgo :s almost
broken by tll failure of the Irish, settle
ment. Kxcrpt ani"iis tho members of tho
extreme section which wrecked tho arrange
ment there Is general sympathy throucnout
Parliament for tho Jri.sh who aro regarded
as victims o. a broach nf faith. Whom a
few wcika ago tho press generally support
ed Premier Asqulth on his stand on Ireland,
he Is now nttacked by nearly every paper
In London.
Sir. Asqulth also seems to havo lost his
former domination in tho House of Com
mons within the last fow days. His present
attitude is now almost apologetic.
"He has lost his nerve." Is tho general
comment.
Tho interesting featuro of the situation
lies In the fact that Lloyd George, who
practically was a certainty for the Premier
ship, Is now busy almost dally conferring
with his friends.
Lord Heading and Winston Churchill nre
his constant visitors and It Is expected that
NOW is the time to visit Alaska.
A few years hence the veneer of
civilization will have destroyed much
of its romance and charm.
A 1000-mile ocean voyage on luxurious steamers

stupendous Nature marvels -of rutftfed fjords,
of enormous glaciers, of miles of forests and of
quaint Indian villages with their weird totem
poles. There are several tours available from
Seattle a popular one Is to Sk30way via the fa
mous Inside passage, thence by rail and boat to
Dawson. This tour may be extended, If desired, to
Include St. Michaels and Nome.
Coupled with this wonder trip to Alaska Is the
master marvel of electrification as you journey

Continued from r.icr One

The "tip" was again out today to look
out for tho Ilremen within tho next fow
days. That sho will mako an American
port and an unexpected one Is tho open
declaration made by nil German sym
pathizers here. Some say that sho will
come through tho capes as tho Dcutsch
land did, but there aro very few who hold
this theory. Tho majority look for tho
sister ship of tho Dcutschland to make
some harbor like Portland, Maine. Ilnston
nnd New York, they say, are out of It
becauso when tho llrcmcn, should sho
arrive safely, tried to slip back out to sea.
sho would bo escorted by all of the ex

German sympathizers here Insisted most
emphatically that tho Dromon would mako

moro vnlualilo than that which the Dcutsch

CHILD LABOR MEASURE
FACES SENATE BATTLE
Republican Leaders Plan to
Couple Issue With Immi

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. t,lnes wero
drawn for bitter fighting In tho Senate to
day when tho child labor bill Is taken up,
probably lato this afternoon Immediately
after the disposition of tho District of Co
lumbia appropriation bill.
The opening of tho fight will be marked
by nn effort on tho part of n group of Re
publican Senators, led by Dorah, of Idaho,
to couple tho child labor bill with tl'ie Im
migration bill. This plan has n two-fold
purpose, first to compel President Wilson to
sign the twln-meosuro despite his opposition
to tho Immigration bill, nnd second, to com
mand support from southern Democratic
Senators who favor tho Immigration bill,
but oppose Federal child labor legislation.
