The etldence bowed that the latter-was waning, but It was not stamped out. It still existed and had to be reckoned with. He suggested the government would be guilty or terrible sh6rt-slghted-ness, at a time when the Irjsh con vention had completed its labor and when It was asking the house to ac eetp a far-reaching measure of self government. In Imposing on Ireland compulsion which was obnoxious to very large number of the Irish peo ple. It was all-important unneces sary domestic controversy should be avoided an da united and unbroken front should be presented to the pco : pie, the allies and the world. ' , Andrew Bunar Law, spokesman for the government. said that what had happened In France was unex pected. That was why this bill was presented. ' ' . Critical Period to Come Noon, i "It Is useless to conceal from our selves the real position." he said. "Until the battle began the balance on the western front. Not only the government, but the British and French military advisers believed that there was no danger of anything fatal happening. Wherever the fault lies.

"We have been able to fill the wantage In the battle thus far. but, according to the figures or the cas ualties available, the most critical lime is likely to arise at the end of May ,ori June. We hare succeeded to some-extent in meeting the diffi culty by what the Americans have done. We can not put too high our admiration of President Wilson's ac. Ion In this matter in brigading tho American troops. Nothing but abso lute necessity could have justified our making such a demand or Presi dent Wilson's acceding to it There were still eight months at least of this campaign left. Mr. Bonar Law continued, and if the straggle went on, as the government believed It would, the men conscripted now would become available Just at the time they were needed.

"Wliat we are doing now," ho raid, "might mean the difference be tween victory and defeat." With regard to Ireland, the gov ernment did hot contemplate with out' reluctance or hesitation, doing anything which threatened to make Ireland England's enemy. It ought not to be so. The government was asking Ireland to do nothing which was not asked from the citizens of every . belligerent ' country and the fact that it was delayed proved that the government had been anxious ti deal fairly by Ireland. $503,000 IS RAISED FOR THIRD CAMPAIGN (Continued from Page 1) are the only man who has refused to do so In your district, and you are known to be financially able to fio your part.

LONDON,- April 10. Mafntalnlng their powerful attacks In the north eern, part, of the British line, the Ger mans continued to gain ground to day. The official report from IFeld Marshal- Haig says that the British troops were forced back lo the line of Wystschaets, Messines Tidge, and Ploegsteert. ! yThe statement reads: . 'Following upon the bombardment already reported, the enemy this nornlng launched a fresh attack in strength, against our positions be tween the Lys river and Armentleres and the Ypres-Comlnes canal.

The Messines ridge and the Tloegrteert wooJ, which last June were cleared of Ger mans bv a snectacular coup, again today were filled with swirling mass es of fiercely battling troops as the result of a new drive launched by the enemy betweerr Armentleres ani Messines this morning.

One of the main features ef the German plana for the offensive as a whole now becomes obvious. The kaiser is bent on annihilating the british army, as far as Is possible. The question of geography retires to the background .In comparison with this pretentious program. This was threatened some time ago and now it appears thst a serious at tempt Is being made to put It into effect. Attacks already made are believed to be but forerunners of other assaults, which will come in quirk succession along the British froat. Prisoners declare the offensive above Armentleres will be extended forty kilometers northward. Every thing the Germans can pjit against the; British will be kept on this front and desperate fighting muU be emected. Yesterday's . gains south of Ar mentleres were made mainly through the , Portuguese front, upon which tbe Gertmans delivered their main attack. The assault had been antici pated and the present line to which the allies fell back was prepared as a counter-move to check the rush. A; captured German . document shows that the German plan was very ambitious. They expected to push, through as far as Bethnne as a clrcalar movement southward along the csnal. This document' stated that tbe rati of forces.would be three Ger man' regiments to six British com panies and certainly the enemy out numbered the. allies .greatly. Tbe British divisions which mad' such: a gallant stand at Glvenchy. twice throwing the Germans out and then holding the place, was recorded as being very weak. The Germans beran the attack with; an Intense bombardment and then 'put donw one of their heaviest barrages thus far seen. Under pro tection of this they advanced, and. having filtered through the Portu guese, outposts unnoticed In the fog, threw themselves on the front line. After an hour of fighting the en emy gained possession of the front line east of Fauquissart In the cen ter of the sector Involved. With the aid of further barrage they surged forward and attacked the second line, which they also occupied. It was about 11 o'clock when the en my pushed Into Laventie. which ren denered the situation at Fleurbaix, on the north, a very difficult one. The' Portuguese were holding the line from near Laventie to Rich. bourg-8t. Vayast. and here they clung 'until about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when the enemy made a charge; over the open ground against them. I The defending positions were carried by storm and the Portuguese fcrcedtto fall back to a Une previ ously prepared, where they were Joined by British reinforcements. North of Laventie ihe enemy bad succeeded In crossing the Lys in small numbers; getting a footing in Kstalres, but this morning were thrown, out by a counter-attack. Dur ing the night a counter-attack fur ther north also pushed the enemy back approximately to the river, (ilvencliy Battle Ilvo.

The enemy tried to work round tbe place, and twice succeeded In getting Into the town, but each time he was stormed out. The battle In Glvenchy was san- -j(nary Tor hours the contending forces fought at close quarters with rifles and hand grenades. The na ture of the British defense may . be reen from the fart that one British , division was being attacked by four German divisions and an extra bri gade. ) The German artillery fire of yester day and today has been terrific.
