J7 (By The As sociated Press) The House of Commons tonight without division passed the second reading ot the Irish constitution bill, after a de bate In a single .sitting without striking Incidents. That it has fallen to the lot of a conservative government to pilot through parliament final legisla tive sanction to measures granting Ireland such complete autonomy hi one of the Ironies ot political fate. The conservative party for two generations has stoutly resist ed the sranting of self-government to Ireland in even the mildest form and no political question during that long period has provoked any thing like the bitter animosities and conflicts In parlament, on the platform and in the press, which accomplished the fight around Irish home xnie.. j . .. ... Now the fight apparently is end ed. and parliament with a large conservative majority quietly ac cepts the principle of the new Irish constitution. without even cnajieng lng division. This Is all the more remarkable as it was mainly The revolt of the fdle hards" section ot lrie conservatives against the coalition .government for setting un a treaty with the Sinn Fein which led to the rebellion of the conservatives against the Iloyd George leadership and so over threw -the coalition government. Antagonism to the constitution bill .hardly took form. Its rejec tion waa moved by - .newcomer in narllament. the Laborlte. 8. Sakiat vala. who represents John uurns old constituency, Battersea. He opsosed ths bill on the ground that the Irish treaty was signed under duress and was therefore a greater mockery than was the act or onion. The Communist, 3. T, W.

Cryptic radiographs received to day Indicated that a critical sit uation is developing with surpris ing suddenness, the whole Interior Is blanketed, with snow, adding Immeasurably to the misery of the exiles. A wireless from the de stroyer Barry said:: "Five hundred Christians are arriving at , Hamsun dally from parts unknown." Another from the Barry relay ed from Rlvas, In the Interest of Anatolia said: "Ten thousand Christians and two thousand orphans trudging through the snow from Slvas in looking to the Americans to save them" Another destroyer relayed a dtamatio appeal to ths Near East Relief at Constantinople from Jumes H. Crutcher, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., at Samsun. "Can you take a thousand mountain children? It not it means their end." One from the destroyer Law renoe came from Americans at TrebljonJ declaring:: "We cannot hold up evacuation of Treblzond orpnans much longer. We are overwhelmed by arrivals from the i-.tenor. instruct' immediately." Charles Thurber, tot Manches ter, N.
