London Newspaper Views. LONDON, Dec. 2;l. Aside from one or t wo ir ret -01101 la ble an ti -homo rule juir-n juir-n a Is, London newspapers this morning give, on tho whole, a favorable reception (o the government's new scheme for Irish self-government. None, . however, expresses ex-presses genuine expectation of tho success of the plan. While it Is recognized that such a bill as Premier Llnvd (4eoi-tre outlined yester day, the fourth home rule measure to he presented to parliament, will be absolutely rejected by a large section of tho Irish people and regarded with suspicion suspi-cion and 1 1 is trust by ot hers, it is contended con-tended it deserves to he fairly considered and tried. The Daily News, perhaps tho most thorough champion of home rule of t lie London newspapers, and a severe critic of Premier Lloyd George and the coalition government, says: "The government will give Ireland a greater degree of autonomy, since it sets up an Irish parliament, and It manifestly contemplates the probability of a United Irish parliament. In the desperate situation situa-tion in which Ireland now stands, this offer, so far as Englishmen can judge, should not be rejected out of hand, but it shrould be assumed that it is honestly put forward.' Appears Generous. Lelief that tho bill offers tho only possl- uie wi u a i ui uio ii isn langie is expressed ex-pressed by the Liberal Chronicle, which says, on the whole, the measure appears generous. The Daily Mail declares it to be a better scheme than any previous one the government gov-ernment has produced, li nd an honest endeavor conceived with a y ingle aim of ministering to the good of Ireland while maintaining the unity of the British empire. em-pire. Representing the extreme Unionist position, po-sition, the Morning Post says: "It is a bad settlement bad for Ireland, Ire-land, because it does not settle the Irish question, and bad for Great Prita in, bo-cause bo-cause it weakens the United Kingdom." Freeman's Journal Comment. Dl'ilLIN, Dec. 23. Tu commenting upon the speech made by Premier Lloyd George in the house of commons yesterday, during dur-ing which the premier outlined the provisions pro-visions of the proposed Irish home rule bill, the Freeman's Journal says Mr. Lloyd George, "in the presence of the American ambassador, but in the absence of every represt-utative of the maioritv of the Irish people, explained to tho house bis panacea for the ills of Ireland." "Lven the few lvs Nationalist members mem-bers who have survived the prime minister's min-ister's past treacheries and betrayal absented ab-sented themselves," the newspaper continued. con-tinued.

The Irish Times say a that, for many reasons, "some good, some bad, some wise and some mad," three-cma rters of the Irish people will reject the bill. "Its principle is hateful alike to the Unionists and Nationalists," the newspaper news-paper says. Irish Raid Reported. LLSDL'FF, County Cavan, Ireland, Dec. 2,1.
