IRELAND QUIET IN CAMPAIGN TO KILL THE DRAFT Home Rule Proposals Likely to Be Rejected by the Bulk of Country By Associated Press [jondoti. May 7.—lreland remains remarkably quiet, says the Dublin • orrespondent of the Daily Hail in reporing on conditions there incident to the anti-conscription campaign. "Although the church is raising," 3ie adds, "an enormous national de fense fund which is ostensibly being collected to fight conscription, it ap parently does not prefer to accept responsibility for the manner in ■which the money is spent and con trol of the fund htfs passed Into the liands of the Sinn Fein. The lists of names of men who signed the anti conscription pledge under the direc tion of the priests is said to be in the hands of Sinn Feiners as a basis for n registration system. "Conditions appear daily to be growing worse as nationalism is be •inu' spread further along on the "Sinn Fein flood. Moderate men of the Irish convention have faded out of ■public recognition and it is quite obvious that whatever are the gov ernment's home rule proposals they ■will be rejected contemptuously by file bulk of the country and de nounced more passionately than was conscription. "The shortage of silver continues very acute and difficulty in mak ing change has almost paralyzed "business in some towns. Hostage stamps are being used in the mid lands and in the west instead of coin The Bank of Ireland has received in the past three months a supply of silver five times greater as com- 1 T-ared with the same period in pre- ] vious year, but as long as the hoard- : Ing continues, all efforts to meet the 1 shortage probably will be futile." j Dublin. May 7. —Denial that the 3rish episcopate is influenced by the Vatican in opposing conscription. j vas made in a speech at Thurles on Monday by the Most Rev. John 3-1 arty. Archbishop of Cashel. All i talk about any action by the Pope, j he said, arose in the imagination i of some Knglish bigots who had at tempted by a cry of 'no popery' to ! intimidate the Irish bishons. The English Catholic Union, he ! ndded. talked of appealing to the I Holy See. but It did not represent all j the Catholics in England. Arch- : l>ishop Harty continued: "If they appeal to the Holy See it I is not the Irish bishops who will suffer." The Irish bishops had interfered j in the conscription issue, he de- j dared because conscription raised ' moral and religious questions. >iF\V AND *2 BILLS TO APPEAR Jl'I.V 4 : By Associated Press RHhinmon.
