The Irish home rule bill passed through nenrly the final stage In the Heuse of Commens Inst night with two new clauses added by the government which, in the opinion of Irish nnd Liberal politicians, rendered the measure virtually dead. These clauses, which provide for sec ond chambers te protect minorities nnd the dissolution of the parliaments should they uet be properly constituted, were carried after being severely criticized by ex -Premier Asqulth and ethers as tendliiir te reduce Ireland te the eendl- i tlen of n backward crown colony, ny I ample majorities In a small house, showing the slight interest new shown in the bill. The new clauses provide that if the i number of members validly elected te either parliament at the first election is less than half the total membership; or If the number who have taken the oath of allegiance within fourteen days i from the date Parliament is summoned 1 is less than half, the king may bv an order in council dissolve such Par , llament and place the functions of the government in the hands of a commit tee nominated by the lord lieutenant pending the summoning of n new Par liament. The cevernment's early proposal thnt ii'l candidates for election te the Irih parliaments must take the oath of al legiance before being nominated, which lias provoked severer criticism from Irishmen and the Liberals than any ether prevision of ilic bill, has been quietly dropped. The measure has te run the gauntlet of the Heuse of Lords, where, accord ing te rumors current in the coalition papers, an attempt will be made te cut the six FIsi'er counties completely out of the bill, leaving them te be adminis tered as at present from Westminster.

French Press and Politicians Discuss Marshal's Relations With Clemenceau TARDIEU DEFENDS "TIGER" Hy the Associated Press Paris, Nev. I). Marshal I'ech has become the center of nn nnimated din. cussien which is occupying the atten tion of the French press and political circles generally te the exclusion of al most nil ether subjects. The main point turns en the relations of Marshal Fecli and Premier Clemenceau in the crucial stages of the war nnd the circumstance leading te the marshal's elevation te the rank of commander-in-chief of nil the allied forces. Marshal l'ech has given his own ver sion, declared that he had pnly been appointed te the supreme cemmund after Premier Clemenceau hnd yleldcd fe the insistence of ethers, Including Field Murshul Hnlg, the British com cem niandcr, and asserting his relations with Cleincncenu were strained,. On behalf of M. Clemenceau. Andre Tardieu today replied te Marshal Foca, declaring that it was in fact Clemen ceau who secured the supreme command for Fech and thut Clemenceau was throughout the champion and defender of lch instead of his enemy. Dealing with the statement attributed te Fech that "M. Clemenceau only bowed, and with had grace, te my ap' ap' peintment as supreme commander," M. Tardieu offers the text of Fech's np np peintment, written iu the premier's hand. "I was." says M. Tardieu, "French high commander te ther United States nt that time, nnd I can say this: Shire the preceding Jnnuury I had had in structions from Premier Clemenceau te work with the American government for the institution of u supreme command, and if one put the question, 'Who?' the reply was 'Fech.' " M. Tardieu also reviewed at length Premier ('.lenienceaii's course in the French chamber, quoting speeches lu which the premier defended Marshal Fech against nttacks and streugly sup. ported his military policies.
