Dublin, June 2C Political parties In
Ireland are - curiously affected by the
formation of a J' coal it ion "government.
Home rule is of course the great- ques
tion, and how It wH be affected by a
hybrid cabinet Is the topic of -the mo
ment. - With -remarkable unanimity,
both . Unionists and Nationalists, are
agreed that a coalition cabinet is bad
and dangerous.
" On the one hand. Unionists fear that
their leaders, by Joining with the gov
ernment, will be regarded as 'giving
some sort of acquiescence In the eatab-'
lishment of home rule. Nationalists,
on the other hand." are-equally confi
dent that if Unionists are allowed with
in the government circle they will ex
ercise a malevolent Influence and per
haps successfully prevent the measure
now - hung .up from 'ever- coming into
operation. - Both sides equally agree in
denouncing the coalition. -. ' ?

-' 3CU1 the Wearers.
Rome, Jun : 26. Italian soldiers at
the front are all to be supplied with
special - masks as protection against
the asphyxiating erases which it is
feared the Austrians will use. Many
women have offered to manufacture
the masks. These appliances consist
of medicinally prepared gauze through
which the wearers may breathe the
poisoned air with Impunity. '
It has been discovered by the war
office that some of tbe masks which
were offered free of charge had been
soaked in some poisonous substance,
which was evidently Intended to kill
instead of to protect the soldiers. The
authorities have now decided that only
masks which have been analysed and
certified as harmless by army sur
geons' shall be supplied to the sol
diers at the front. The offering of
poisoned masks is attributed to a plot
by secret enemies. .5- .. 'j
