Mr.. Liddon was formerly chief JUS

Judge Liddon is universally<respected
in Florida, has a good practice, and
is a man of means. His retirement
from the bench was by his voluntary
resignation. Ny opinion is that the
motion TO disbar him is in line of re.
taliation, as about a year ago he in.
stituted proceedings to disbar certain

IRELAND is

ADOPTION OF THE NEW POLICY

BY Associated Press.

New York, March 17.-Ireland has
awakened to new life and hope OF
prosperity since the British govern.
ment adopted the policy of buying in
big estates and selling the land to
the tenantry, according to Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford, who has ar
rived here on a vacation tour which
he will extend to Mexico.
There is no doubt that the new
scheme for Ireland has proved great
boon for the country" said Lord
Charles. THE people have money in
the banks, and it all comes from the
products of the country Conditions
are getting better all the time.
Numerous estates have been sold
and many people have been benefited.
If they could get back their manufac-
turers future prosperity would be as
sured. l am president Of club whose
main object is to encourage things
that make for Ireland's welfare. It
embraces all persons of all creeds,

is very much in earnest.
Lord Charles was asked what he
thought of the frequently recurring
controversy over the usefulness of
battleships.
The batleship must settle the ulti-
mate affairs in war, no matter what
we build he replied. "Battleships
are cheaper than war. They are a
sort of insurance, if We have them
sufficient and efficient, for peace. If
we two nations, the Americans and
the British, get together, there is
no doubt that We will control the
peace of the world.

that more of the siege and field guns

patched to the Far East, and in order
to avoid delay it las been decided in
stead of sending only reserve men to
form new armies largely of regulars
leaving the reserves to replace the

Throughout the war many military
