If the resolution of 1916 was rescinded, not only was it impossible for him to re main the President, but even a mem ber of the Guild. The bishop left the floor open for his return in the event that the government was set up. He said that if in the course of time an Irish republic was established and a definite Legislative Assembly and gov ernment set up, he was bound to say personally that the Church of Ireland would hold loyally to it. The bishop said: Statement Starts Fireworks. "This is Just 'as much in conformity with the teaching of the New Testa ment as loyalty to King George is at the present." Then the fireworks started. Rev. O. G. Fisher inquired whether the clergy who refused allegiance to King James and the clergy at the time of the Amer ican war for independence refused al legiance to King George III were dis loyal also; if it applied to the clergy In Belgium who refuse to acknowledge rule by might by the Kaiser. Hlshop Berry replied with the simple answer that he was not the keeper of anybody's conscience but his own. He was not responsible for the clergy in the American war for independence or the clergy of the time of Kino- James. Dean Geddes said he could not re main a member of the guild if the reso lution was rescinded.

Adv. of launching their long-expected as sault on the Italian lines, have been compelled to Tight hard to maintain the positions, where they have stood since last Novemben. The fighting seems to have centered on the camparatlvely short section of the battle line betwen Monte Asolone ind Monte Pertica. These two heights. about three miles apart, rise to an altitude of about S000 feet, while be tween them there is a sort of "saddle" on which the Teutonic forces have taken up strong positions. Both the Vienna and Rome official statements tell of bitter fighting on this particu lar front, the latter stating that the Italian soldiers have entered Austrian trenches on Mont Asolone in two places. Italians Gala Advantage. The fact that the Italian armies have taken the Initiative In the fighting would seem to Indicate that they have sought to carry the fight to the enemy in such a way as to break up any arrangements for the launching of a strong Teutonlo assault. This has many precedents in the present war, a strong offensive at a threatened point being considered the best defense un der certain circumstances. While the fighting has been very fierce east of the Brenta, the whole Italian line from Lake Garda to the Piave and thence to the sea, has been marked by patrol engagements which appear to be isolated actions, but which may be component parts of a plan of campaign in that theater of the war. Nowhere have the Italian lines been reached by attacking parties of Aus-trlans. Artillery Active ia Plcardy. In the region of Plcardy only heavy artillery fire has marked the fighting during the last day. American gun ners have been at work in the general bombardment ' that has been going on and have again set buildings in Mont- dldler in flames. There have been many patrol engagements. A daring raid on the Austrian naval base at Pola has been made by Italian units and an Austrian battleship of the 20, 000-ton type has been destroyed. The Italian naval forces were aided by an aerial squadron. It has been announced from Wash ington that an official order has been Issued by the soviet government of Russia, calling for the formation of an army, that will fight for the security of the Russian republic which has been menaced by the aggression of the Ger mans. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. May 16. (By the Associated Press.) Several fires were Bet in Montdidler and behind the German lines by the American batteriea last night. Enemy communications are continuously battered by the American heavy artillery and the aerial services on both sides are active. The infantry, however, has not been engaged. The Germans are using searchlights every night. French officers give high praise to the American artillery units for their accurate work. Two German airplanes were brought down yesterday by French aviators In this sector. Mr. Corrigan also declared that "Miss Lusk had been living on terms of in timacy with Dr. Roberts for about two years and they were together at sev eral distant points, including Chicago."
