They watched from nousetons and roofs of business buildings while throngs gathered in the streets of the larger towns and cities and in the village centers while the daring aropped thousands of Suburban Day fliers from the clouds. In some cases the fliers, thirty thousand in all, floated majectically down to the crowds below or were scattered far and wide by the strong wind Lieut. Chadwick and his assistant left Hartford at 9 o’clock Thurs- day morning and a short while later he was bombing Willimantic with the little fliers heralding Norwich Suburban Day which arrives Saturday.

Incidentally, Lord Bumion disclosed that he with other péers had explored the ground with a view to negotiations | for a settlement of the Irish diff: cu! but he said they had arrived at the con- clusion that the only practical initi. tive must come from the zovernment itself. The debate was opened by the Earl of Donoughmore, a southern Irish peer, who, referring to the speech of Viscount Gitzalan, lord lieutenant of Ireland, at| the opeging of the Ulster parliament ad- mitting that the home rule act amend- ment, urged the government to indicate plainly what amendments it was prepar- ed to grant. . He congratulated the lord lieutenant on his courage in advocating amendments, and denounced the govern- ment policy of reprisals as a detes and degrading policy. He shuddere to think what chaos would ensue in the coming winter unless the government took .the course advocated. . Lord Buxton, supporting the Farl ‘of Donoughmore and citing the success of home rule in the Union of South Africa,! said it was clear that the Irish home | rule act was neither a panacea nor a remedy.
