Iximlon, May 7. New phases of the Irish situation are nrouslw: considerable Interest, and on the whole are believed to be mak ing? for hettermcnt. The selection of Lord French for the Lord Lieutenancy was a surprise, and London Is nnxlouily awaiting news on how Ireland will take It. Its military flavor It offset by 'the appoint ment of ndward Shortt as chief secre tary, the latter bavin? voted against the application of conscription until home rule had been extended to Ire land. The purely political developments of the situation nre particularly In teresting, Irish newspapers and pnc English paper, the Manchester Guar dian, today printed a letter from Sir Horace riunkett which Is broadly, a summons to tho Hrltlsh Government to abandon Its "twofold Irish policy of conscription nnd home rule."

The report spiring to assisslnatc German olllcers of 'the Irish convention has shown and has had three or tho Ministers that It could do this with the suppoit !U';'i,,f", , .... . l ,.. , ! of a large body of Irish Nationalist L ana unionist opinion. "They should pass through Parlia ment without delay the necessary leg islation as n war measure. The mo ment the bill Is passed an Irish ex ecutive, broadly rcpresentatIo and composed of icsponslble men who would not shirk tho burden of their brief nutnorlty, should be appointed and should have the task of setting up a Parliament as quickly as possi ble, of promoting voluntary recruiting and generally of carrying on. "The Irish people, given their own Instrument of government, would quickly show the woild what is their real attitude to this war. It may then dawn upon Englishmen that we have In Ireland no problems except those they have made, not of malice pre pense but through tncapiclty to un derstand us." Colneidentally with riunkett's letter tbro Is publlh-d another from Harold i excellent fighting othcer nnd a patriot, i Spender, a well-know n Liberal Journalist, j but wholly Innocent of politics. who asks: Vasllenko. the new Premier, Is a: "Whv delay to pass a new home rule cadet, n federalist and A Russian pa blll?

"It is a light thing at this moment to revive all those dormant passions of race and religion? Is It fair to throw upon tatesmen conducting this war the tre mendous labors of so great a legislative undertaking or to occupy Parliament with a task so perilous and gigantic? "Briefly drafting amendments required by the lapse of time, and financial ad- Justments necessitated by changes in Ireland, the homo rule act could be put In force at once without any ltal or essential alteration " There Is a strong strain of liberal f-el-ing In favor of some such course. The new home rule bill which the Govern- . i j,i., i. ij.. j.j , e by an' atmosphere' of suLpTclon.' It has In been publicly stated In the press that,f the new measure will satisfy neither the Irish Nationalists nor the Kngllsh Lib erals. The predominating Influences in the cabinet In this matter ar assumed to be Unionist rather than Liberal, and Is believed that the Prime Minister has had to make concessions to his Unionist colleagues. The Westminster Gazette believes that U 7, "mlse beten ,S5S the two parties In the cabinet have come which spoils both, and that if Lloyd jeorge naa ueen leu to himself he would never have started out with a mixed policy of home rule and conscription The method by which the two meas ures have been handled from the Treas. ury bench, conscription being given prec. edence at first and then home rule be Jng shoved forward, Justified the theory ef divided councils. If the Irish question could be strictly confined within the limits of politics, the Prime Minister's political strategy, of which he himself has spoken tn ap preciative terms, might achieve success. There are, however, other factors which complicate the situation Lord Dun raven, who was once a freeman of the City of Limerick, has had the honor withdrawn by a vote of the Municipal Council, because he approves conscrlp. tlon. The grounds on which Dunraven upholds conscription are summed up by himself in a few sentences. "Many Irishmen," he says, "Do not etc that the possibilities or the future for Ireland are bound up with the Issue of the war. They d0 not realize that K Ireland is to gam herself in future he must sacrifice herself now. I think that the msnman wno taxes the larger view, who, while! protesting against conscription without the assent of an Irish parliament, accepts conscription as necessary for the successful conduct of a. righteous war, will prove to be not necessarily the most fervent, butcer talnly the wisest and truest friend of nil country." , i f FRENCH WOULD HAVE NO OPTIONAL OBEDIENCE Special Coble to Evening Public Ledger Cttvrianl.

All this news is cxtiemelv Interest-1 Ing and not wholly Intelligible. The' oilgitH of Skoropauskl'.-s movements nro obscure, nnd the Important qucs. tlon Is whether they aio pio-derman or anti-German. The Germans themseUcs, Judging by their press comments, ate by no means ceitaln on this point, although the Vice Chancellor stated in the Reichstag that the new Government had premised to observe the Urcst-I-llovsk treaty and the terms tot the food agreement.

An Instructive Situation If these groups decided under Ger man occupation to form a government !" ? ? of furthering German schemes, but with the idea of undertaking a'patrl otlc duty to reduce suffering, restore order and save what can be saved for the future. The situation Is very Instructive for the Allies. The cadets have been the most consistently pro-Ally party in Russia. Shortly before I left Petro- grad a few weeks ago, when the Ger man troops were expected there, the cadet central committee Indignantly rejected the suggestion that they should form a government under Ger man protection. The cadets and the groups akin to them hate the Ger mans with an Intense hatred and were hoping against hope that the Allies would give a sign, would declare a policy in regard to Russia that would give all patriotic Russians an oppor tunity to rally In support of the Al lied cause. But If the Allies wait until the Ger mans gain firm control over European Russia, will the Russian patriots con tinue to refuse to participate In the Internal organization of Russia out of Platonic affection for the Allies? Time passes. The changes In the Ukraine are by no means encouraging for the Germans, but at the same time they suggest a warning to the Allies. Amsterdam, May 7. It would appear from an account of events leading up to the assumption of power by Genera Ekoropauskl as hetman that the govern ment Instituted In the Ukraine In suc cession to the Rada Government Is a virtual dictatorship by this descendant of an old hetman of the Cossack repub lic. The Berlin Vosslche Zeitung de scribes the scene as follows: "The entire comedy was staged on April 9 at Kiev, In the congress of Ukrainian peasants, who expressed their desire for a dictatorship. At this mo ment Skoropauskl, attired In a Circassian uniform, entered a box In the hall, amid great enthusiasm. The general then walked to the stare, where, bowing his acknowledgment of the loud applause, he proclaimed himself -hetman of the Ukraine In these wortU: " 'Only a strong government can help us. I shall rely upon your oath.' "General Skoropauskl afterward Is sued this manifesto : "The Ukrainian State arose, thanka to the powerful help of the Central Pow ers, which, loyal to their promises, will continue to fight for the security of the Ukraine.

The Ilada In Ukraine, that has been ousted found Itself losing the suppoit even of the better bourgeoisie. Tho anti German feeling In Ukialne showed Itself In the dllllcultlcs of collecting grain (eennow Austria ts unable to rale the bread allowance), In a tnousand exploits of small bands of revolutionaries who sometimes were able even to seize and make away with whole trains of food already on tho way to Germany, In an endless series of sporadic peasant risings, which made it unsafe for the Germans to move except In considerable companies, and In arrests by various as sociations of pprsons prominent in help ing the Germans. On April 26 General Ulehhorn Issued an order forbidding meetings, threaten ing the newspapers nnd promlslna offenders thn Justice of German court martial This was too much, even for the subservient Itada, who was not con sulted. April 28, during a sitting of the Hada after a stormy discussion of the Incident, It was found that the Ger mans had surrounded the building and that nobody was allowed to leave It. A German lieutenant walked up to the Praesldlum. German troops (lied Into the hall. The lieutenant shouted "Hands up" and "Sit still'" Then he called the names of certain ministers.

The net result of all this Is to confirm the anti-Germanism of the bulk of the Ukrainian population, and to Insure that the population will look not to Its own bourgeois! for salvation, but to Russia The Germans have camped In a hornet's net, and the more they seize the bigger will be the area of revolutionary dis content within Germany's military fron tiers j the more troops they will have to use, the more unpopular they will be come and the more certain the eventual unity of the Russian Ukrainian democ racies UKRAINE CAN SUPPLY NO RATION INCREASE j Washington. May 7. The food situation In Germany Is more critical than It has been at any time. If Germany seizes the grain supply of the Ukraine, the breacr situation will continue as at present; otherwise con dltlons will go from the present Dad to decidedly worse. The seizure of the gratn supply, the nutritional commission of the Reichstag admits, wilt not result tn the Increasing of rations. These were the outstanding features of a'dlspatch received today by the State Department from an authoritative source, which was not revealed. The dispatch said that the question of another reduction oi meai rations in Germany is being considered. At pres ent the allowance is zuu grams a wbck, and the contemplated reductions would be to 150 grams, or less than a quarter of a pound. The Nutritional Minister was rcporieu tn have made It nlaln that the seizure of the grain of the Ukraine would not result In larger rations : but, to the con trary, would permit a continuation only of conditions as iney now eii.
