Scttfanent of Irish Problem
Far From Solution Despite
New Parliament.

ators No Nearer Strike
Solution.
BT GEORGE M. BARNES
Farmer Member British Cabinet.
Loodoa. Jone 25—Tbe British cor-
•riaiect is storm-tossed on a sea of
trouble
Tbs king “J queen proceeded to Bel-
fa»t and are safely back again but in
regard to the Irish question st are
ju-t where we were.
There has been no change except for
mor extended operations and greater
loss of fife. The government has been
arraigned in the house of commons for
military inefficiency and has made re-
ply hinting not obscurely at more dras-
tic measure* of repression.
But publie opinion here is disturbed.
The Ulster larliament was duly opened
by the king amid scenes of gnat en-
thusia-m If any doubt existed as to
the attitude of the Ulsternein it is now
dispelled. They are still opoeed to co-
eperation b<tween northeast and soutb-
wrat Ireland except bn a basis of loy-
slty to and uniou with Great Britain
and the British dominions. But beyond
exprowionssof go<4 will and the hope
tiist South Ireland might initiate a cere-
mouy |>araliel to the one at Belfast the
larger aspects of the Irish probl -m were
But touched upon by the king.
Fear Irish rariiament a Failure.
It therefore may be a^umed that
there is no intention on the part of the
government to adopt any new policy.
The goverr rent bojies only that the
southwest will sooner follow the lead
of Ulster and make use dl the new
powers conferred by recent legislation.
Al-antime the forces of the Sinn Fciners
are confronted by greater forces of the
crown. And as the "appointed day”
for the southern parliament July 12.
draws near a crown colony government
looms up as the only alternative to
the existing chaos. '
l*rom Ireland the eyes of the govern-1
meat turn toward the east where it is
faced by another serious crisis. It bar'
. arisen largely ont of the delays in:
the eastern peace settlements. These
were allo red to drift and we are now
confronted with an orientation of forces
wholly unprovided for.
72- Turks have created a new army
and have set up a government opposed
to Constantinople. The Greeks hare
fougd themselves quite unable to carry
out their undertakings in Asia Minor
■ ” 104 in the changed circumstances con
sequent upon their repudiation of the
Vogixclos government the allies are
neither able nor willing to help them.
An effort is being made therefore to
bring about a cessation of fighting be-
tween the insurgent Turk and the un-
stable Greek on the basis of media-
tion and settlement by the allies.
British Would Not Aid Greece
This means some revision of the re-
cent allied declaration and therefore
perhaps some loss of allied prestige
but in the light of the new facts there
is no option so far as we are concerned.
British publie opinion would not sup-
port any excursion made for the purpose
of bolstering up Greek ultra nationalism
bred ia war and now a menace to peace.
Here at borne there is no respite from
indurtrial trouble. The miners re-
j-cted term* of settlement which in-
cluded a government subsidy ot over
' fifty million dollars with which to
rase down wag’-s to an economical

union) with disputes pending or with
negotiations in hand appealing to them
to join in* a general strike.
No Finish to Mine Strike.
There ia little hope in that direction
and it looks as if a re start of the min-
ing industry can be made only under
impoverished conditions on a eold. hard
hole of output and price. The govern
meat subsidy has been lost R is s
eade ending if. indeed the end is in

GUARD RIFLE TEAM
TO REPRESENT TEXAS
AT NATIONAL MEET
General Wolters to Keep
Men to Study Army
Paperwork.
Austin. Tex.. June 35.—Following the
termination of the annunl encampment
of tbs Texas National Guard at Camp
Mabry next Sunday 60 officers and 80
enlisted men of the guard will be re-
tained for the purpose of receiving ad-
ditional instructions in pai>er work and
in preparatory work for the selection
of the National Guard rifle team to
represent Texas at the national matcues
to be held at Camp Perry Ohio dur-
ing the first part of July. This an-
nouncement was made by Brig. Gen. J.
F. Wolters commander of the camp.
These officers snd men are to remain
over four days.
"The purpose of these additional four
days is to give the troop commanders
and lieutenant* an opportunity to study
the new regulations covering troop ad-
ministration and paper work.” said
General Wolters.
"In the past there has been a lack
of uniformity." continued the general
"in the methods of making returns and
reports and under the new regulations
issued since the reorganisation of the
National Guard a comprehensive com-
pact system of reports has been de-
vised and we are anxious for all of the
officers concerned to be given an oppor-
tunity to have this system explained
by the regular army officers Nvho arc
acting as instructors for the guard.
• "The enlisted men who will be re-
tained are the best shots in camp and
from this r umber a team will be se-
lected to go to Camp Perry. Ohio in
July to compete in the national shoot.
We expect to hare an exceptionally good
tram this year as some exceedingly -nod
scores hare been made in the prelimi-
nary practice.
"I am hoping that our team will
make a good showing at the shoot this
year and that we will be able to bring
homo the championship. If work will
do it we should win."
MINISTER SHORTAGE
THREATENS BECAUSE

New 1 ork June 25.—" The more mem-

ers.” according to an official report
which will appear in the forthcoming
issue of the New Era magazine the au-

the report continues “with the sacri-

The editor of New Era magaxine Wal-

FARTHER APART
French Publicist Sees Fall
of Lloyd-George’s Coali-
tion Government.
BRITISH ARE SLIPPING
Prime Minister Has Too
Many Irons in the
Fire.
By ANDRE TARDIEU.
Copyright. IStl. by the San Antonio Light.
Faris June 24.—The European at-
mosphere continues unsettled. Succes-
sive acta indicate tendencies and in-
oliiiationa but there is no fixed dura-
ition to events no plan of action tangi-
। Ide accomplishments.
Affairs on the British side of the
channel appear to hold the chief in-
terest of the moment and there are in-
dications that British government acts
are being influenced to a considerable
extent by the political situation of Mr
Lloyd/lcorge which is rather delicate
to say the least.
Three noteworthy facta stand out in
England.—the contiuation of the nffners'
strike. Lord Curzon's visit to Paris and
Lloyd-George's speech to the imperial
council.
The miners' strike is merely a con-
crete manifestation of the general eco-
nomic illness from which England is
suffering and which affects visibly tbe
whole British foreign policy explain-
ing frequently contradictory actions.
Curzon's Plans Frail.
IxirJ Curzon brought to Paris pro-
posals forjiplomatic action purely for-
mal in character respecting tbe Greco-
Turk and Upper Silesian affairs which
fail to resolve difficulties having tbeir
origin in a fundamental divergency of
views between France and Great Bri-
tain.
Simultaneously the negotiations for
a renewal of the Anglo- Jafienese treaty
continue.
Also simultaneously there begins
talk of an Anglo-American entente
although the precise objects of such an
arrangement are not stated. This man-
ner of putting irons in the fire in every
big capital at once seems to indicate to
a certain nervousness.
Independently of the economic crisis
which confronts him. Lloyd-George must
jierceive that his personal sitnation is
not at all it might be. He is as a
matter of fact unpopular in all quarters
and his present strength comes largely
from tbe fact that no successor to him
is in sight. A few days in Izindon suf-
fice to give anybody this conviction.
IJoyd-tioerge Needs Strength.
Apparently the British premier is in
search of some signal triumph which
he badly needs and he carries his optim-
ism pretty far when he declares to an
economic conference that the disarma-
ment and preparations problems are
now settled.
Consider what is happening in I'pp-r
Silesia. Early in May the plebiscite
zone was invaded by German continent’
estimated by Premier Briand in his
speech in tbe chamber at 5600 men. To-
day papers unanimously agree that the
force now amounts to 40.000 men. fully
equipped with modern war material.
Whence comes this equipment if as
Lloyd-George affirms. Germany hat
been disarmed? Again where is thn*
good faith attributed by Lloyd-George
and Briand tn tbe new German govern-
ment if facta prove—and they do—that
for a whole month men and ammuni-
tions have been passing continuously
from Germany info Silesia?
General Lerond. president of the inter-
allied Commission on Silesia has tried
vainly to call the attention of the gov-
ernments to this rapidly developing
peril. For two years I had General I>-
mnd under my orders when I was eoni
miasioner of the Fra neo-American af-
fairs. His judgment is tbe coolest aud
calmest I have ever met. Everything
he has predicted at Gppeln has hap-
pened as he foretold. Instead of follow-'
mg his advice and taking immediate i
action to halt Germany's military pre-
parations tbe allied governments are
undertaking in violation of the treaty
to have so-called experts to revise tbe I
»f «be president of the In-
ter-Allied Commission made in eonfor- ■
mity with tbe treaty.
Snch a procedure will hardly facili-
tate that disarmament which has been
prematurely proclaimed by Lloyd-George;
as an accomplished fact.
No Progress on Reparations.
Concerning reparations we have made
no progre««. Only yesterday Gennaur

Dallas Tex. June 25.—Whenever a
person comes to a path of bard luck
lie should think of J. D. Smith of Hous-
ton. Tex. and be happy.
Smith and three of bis children sat
in Union station this mor-ting. Smit!:
looked gloomy and 'the three children
were erring.
They were thinking of tbeir mother
whose body they were accompanying to
Enid. Okla.
They were thinking of tbeir little sis-
ter Fannie. 15 at City hospital where
she was taken Friday night suffering
with convulsions.
And they were thinking of their sis-
ter Mary on a cot at the station rest
room over whom Dr. R. L. McLaugh-
lin of Emergency hospital knelt-
Mary had chills and fever and a hem-
orrhage.
The three sisters who watched and
wept were sick too.
The happy family left Houston sev-
eral days ago in a wagon. They were
going to Enid Okla.
When they bad liven three days on
the road the mother died ot heart
failure.
They sold the horse and wagon to
pav burial expenses. •
“We want to bury her at Enid where
we'll remain the rest of our lives" said
Smith.

ARMY PRISONERS TO
START SUNDAY FOR
FORT LEAVENWORTH
Party of 125 Includes One
Going to Serve Life
Term for Murder.
All of tbe genera! prisoners who have
been held at Fort Sam Houston for
several weeks pending tbe arrival of
transportation funds will be tnken to
Leavenworth Kan. Sunday morning it
waa announced at beadquarters of the
Eighth Corps Area Saturday night
Two army officers and several enlist-
ed men will accompany the party as
guards. About 125 prisoners in all will
go. They will be taken from tbe guard-
house of Fort Sam Houston and Camp
Travis.
Most of tbe prisoners who were con-
rictqd for desertion and minor offenses
will be placed in the United States dis-
ciplinary barracks at Fort Leaven worts
while those convicted of graver charges
will be placed in tbe federal penitentiary
at Leavenworth. /
Among the men to lie transferred is
Private Willie McDuffie who was con-
victed at Camp Travis of tbe murder of
Private Oscar C. Mattman last Septem-
ber and given tbe death penalty by the"
general court-martial. The aentence
waa commuted to life imprisonment by
President Harding in tbe first case in
which executive clemency is said to have
been exercised by him.
The men will be placed in special cars
under guard. Tbe transfer of the men
before July 1 was made possible by a
special allotment of funds from tbe War
Department to take care of emergency
transportation.
The increase in the number of pris-
oners in tbe two guardhouses because
of inability to send them away has
made it necessary for extra stockades
to be built.

ANGLO-JAP TREATY RENEWAL
THREATENS TO BLOCK MOVES
TOWARD NAVAL DISARMAMENT
Offensive and Defensive Alliance Even With U. S.
Exempted and British Dominions Opposing Likely
to Put End to Agitation for Reduction in Forces. *
By ROBERT T. SMALL.
Copyright tail by the San Antonio Light.
Washington D. C„ June 25.—Tbe
probability that Great Britain aud Ja-
pan will renew their treaty of alliance
witbin the next three weeks threatens
to put nu end to any definite move St
this time for uiteruationul uaval die-
urmament
The continuance of the Anglo-Japan-
ese offensive and defensive alliance no
matter what the modified language of
the pa»t may be. ia regarded iu govern-
ment circles here as au.all but insuper-
able obstacle to world disarmament.
The famous Borah amendment to the
naval bill which would request Presi-
dent Harding to seek a conference with
Great Britain and Japan on tbe sub-
ject of limiting naval armaments would
mean but little if the Anglo-Japanese
treaty is renewed. It would place the
United States in a one-sided conference
one nation against a combination of tbe
two other most {mwerful nations on the
sen today.
Alliance Violates league.
It is agreed that it Great Britain and
Japan are to continue iu alliance —an
alliance in violation of the spirit if not
the letter of the covenant of the League
of Nations to which both have adhered
—the only fair limitation of naval arm-
ament would be a reduction of their
combined navies to something like the
relative strength of the United States.
It is agreed furthermore that England
never would submit to such a proposi-
tion. Premier Lloyd-George has said as
much. '
Therefore government cfficials ere
asking why the United States should
ngrec to a relativa naval reduction with
Great Britain mid another relative re-
duction with Japan when 'treat Britain
and Japan are bound together in the
most formidable alliance iikely to exist
in the world for some time to eome.
and would exert together a naval in-
fluence greater that any single power
could command.
British Dominions for U. 8.
Cognizance is taken of course of the
statements made at tbe imperial con-
ferences in London that tbe United
States in likely to be specifically ex-
empted from the scope of the Anglo-
Japanese treaty; that the British do-
minions will not be satisfied unless it
be officially set forth in the document
that none of its provisions shall apply
against tbe United States no that in
the event of war between tbe United
States and Japan they would not be
bound to come in on the side of the
yellow race.
These statements carry considerable
reassurance to the United States but
Gabardine Sports Models
—tbe house of Kuppenheimer Good Clothes
they do not explain why in the present
condition of world affairs a military
alliance between Japan and Great Brit
nin ia neecssary or wise.
The United States has no right to
protest against such an alliance. I.
may feel glad it is not a party to the
league of Nations if two of tbe lead
ing powers in the league feel that a
separate and especial alliance of of-
fenso and defense in the Pacific is nec-
essary to their "special interestz."
May Issue Statement.
The Washington government will not
be brought at any time into a discus
sion of the Anglo Japanese treaty
either with Great Britain or Japan. It
these two powers at the signing of the
treaty should send their official assur-
ances to Washington they would be
acknowledged and that is all.
American “approval” of the treaty
as some of the British dominions indi-
catrd should be sought will not be
forthcoming.
It is barely possible the Washington
government may issue a statement at
some time iu tlic near future that it
would “view with concern” any move
which might threaten the thaintenance
of the "open door” and equality of op-
portunity in the Far East. But that
is as far as it is likely to go in taking
note of the Anglo-Japanese negotiations.
It will not in any way be efrawn “by
hook or by ctook” Into giving sanction
to the pact.
Treaty Expires July 13.
The existing treaty expires July 13.
and the best word from England is that
it will be resumed with certain modifi-
cations which will remove the United
States from its purview. The binding
clause of tbe existing treaty is as fol-
lows :
“If by reason ot unprovoked attack
or aggressive action wherever arising
on the part of any power or powers
cither high contracting party should
be involved in war in defense ot its
territorial rights or special Interests
mentioned in the preamble* to this
agreement the other high contracting
party will at once eome to the assist-
ance of its ally and will conduct the
war in common and make peace in mu-
tual agreement*with it."
Whom Does Japan Fear?
The question naturally is being asked
in Washington that with tbe United
Btates eliminated from the operation of
tbe treaty which power or group of
powers would be likely to become in-
volved in war with Japan? Whom doos
Japan fear that she seeks a renewal
of the treaty essentially along the old
line?
Besides England and Japan tbe'only
otlieF powers who ever have bad inter
rats in the Pacific arc Germany and
Itu-in. and both air impotent for mint
years to come. There was plausible
reason for the treaty when it waa first
made and when it was renewed in
Hill. Hussia_mi|tht have become a
menace and Germany was extending
her sphere of world activity. Now both
are helpless. What “menace" t^en
exists in the Pacific?
Britain Grateful to Japan.
The British argue that if they had
gone into alliance with Japan the lat-
ter power might have felt it necessary
to ally herself with Germany. With
Japan fighting with Germany in the re-
cent war it is admitted the sitnation
would have been serious. Britain feels
grateful to Japan and inasmuch as Ja-
pan passionately desires the treaty re-
newed Britain is finding it difficult
if not impossible to refuse. The further
argument is made that Britain in al-
liance with Japan would be able to
exbrt a “better influence" iu the Eart.
Arainst all these conditions however

Judge Tongan in his decision whicM
was a lengthy one ruled that the statu

the divorce as it had its opportunity]
to offer any objections at the time tha
divorce was granted.
He further ruled that the people of]
the state of Nevada cannot now ne ta-
t crested parties in the marital relations
of Miry Pickford.
Today's decision was the first court
ruling in the suit which was instituted
soon after Mary became the bride of
Fairbanks.
Something more than a year Mo
^.ry slipped away from her Los An-
geles studio garbed in clothes she might
have worn In an orphanage scene and
with her mother went to Minden a lit-
tie almost unheard of town near the
California-Nevada state line k

announced and then followed the fil-
ing of the action for divorce against
Moore her huaband. Moore waa found
playing poker in a hotel here the sum-
mons served on him and the case speed-
ily tried. Marv being granted a divorce
without a contest •' .
She returned to Los Angeles and with-
in a few weeks became the bride of
Douglas Fairbanks.
It was after her marriage to Fair-
banks that the divonre was attacked
thronsh the suit filed by Attorney Gen-
eral Fowler of Nevada alleging that
there was deception and collusion re-
sorted to. in that Moore's presence at
the poker game whet the summons was
served was more than coincidence.
