THE BRITISH CABINET
PROHIBITS SHIPPING
ARMS INTO IRELAND
For First Time Grasps Net
tie of Revolution in
Ulster-Steps Toward
Cancellation

London, December 5.---The British
eabinct, by royal proclamation pro-
muisnted tonight prohibiting the i'm
portation of arms and ammunition into
Ireland, for the first time grasped the
nettle of the revolution in Ulster.
the followers of Sir Edward Carson
for months have been advertising their
military preparations in every possible
WAY md during Interference with them.
Almost at the time of publication of the
proclamation Premier Asquith made the
longest step toward the concliation of the
Obstetrics that the government has taken
by announcing his acceptance of the prin-
ciples of a basis of agreement which Sir
Edward Carson suggested in his last
speech These principles are
/. That the settlement must not be
humiliating or degrading to Ulster
2. listers treatment must not be DIFF
fereht or exceptional from that meted out
to the other parts of the United Kingdom
8. Ulster might retain full protection
of the imperial Parliament.
|. 4. The home rule bill must not be such
as to lead to ultimate separation of u
ster from Great Britain.
Extends Olive Branch
Thus the government extends to the
signers of the Ulster covenant the olive
branch.
The proclamation prohibiting the impor-
tation of arms and ammunition into Ire
land, which King George signed at a
meeting of the privy council Thursday,
and which is published in the Royal Ca
zette tonight, was mider than rumors had
anticipated 1T would be. Instead of re-
viewing the Irish crimes act so odious to
the old-time home rulers against whom
it was directed, which prohibited the
carrying of arms and gave drastic power
of search for arms, 1t invoked the Gus
toms consolidation act of 1876.
The only reason given in the procama-
ton for taking the step is the statement,
whereas, it is expedient that the impor-
tation into Ireland of arms and ammuiii-

katherine Mcpherson office girl for DR..
Helene Knabe, for whose murder DR..
William b. Craig Is on trial here. late
today was placed on the witness stand
by the state. The witness described the
finding of DIR. Khabes body the condi-
tionsof the flat and her employers habits.
Miss Mcpherson testified that she had
seen DR.. Craig In DIR. Knabes apartments
twice and had seen the former bring her
employer In his automobile to the house
several times She identified a photo
graph of DIR. Craig and his daughter,
Marion, as one which Marion had sgiven
to DIR. Knabe.
That witness said that when she en-
tered In the room in which DR. Knabe
had met death, the window curtain was
raised about one foot from bottom of the
window. The state insisted upon this tes-
timony, it was said, on the theory that
when Joseph Carr, a previous witness,
passed the house DR.. Knabe was being
murdered
Saw No Light
Carr on cross examination today de-
clared that when he passed the apartment
house in which DR. Knabe lived he heard
screams, but declared he saw no light In

throat when Carr passed Later, 1t is

the electric lights.
DR.. Knabes kimono which the state

fled by Miss Mcpherson. She said the last

Patty Ruffner Jacobs and Mrs. Oscar

Felix Baldridge of Huntsville.
SPEECH DECLARED BEST
HEFLIN EVER MADE
Mr.. Heflin's speech, which was de-
clared by many to be the best he has
ever made upon this subject, was
literally applauded, and when he fin
ished he received the congratulations
of an immense crowd.
He declared that the dom.nd for the
ballot comes not from the modest,
home loving women of the. country.
! but that as the rule, these women
were the restless, dissatisfied products
of unhappy homes; that woman suf-
frage would create sex antagonism
and destroy sex sentiment, that it
would cause disturbances in the fam
lily, and that it was the enemy of the
Christian religion and the American
home.
"When l heard you good women yes

ness OF your gentle nature that the bal
lot be not thrust upon you; when |
heard you talking of your mission in
the world and your duties in the home,

toned love feast, and l said in my heart.
thank God for these gentlewomen. for
the home-loving women of America .
Mrs. Jacobs was first called upon by
the suffragists to defend Alabama from
the charge made by Representative
Heflin in that women of the south
did not want the ballot and she re-
sponded to the responsibility nobly.

This made me more determined

The dinner was interminable.
Dicks dear old father lighted the
fire OF conversation that had
been smoldering by asking:

"Margie, if you ever serve chicken

His mother ignored the inter.
ruption and continued: Every
one admired your flowers, Rich

And everyone admired your

wickedly. even Eleanor Fair

you fell in love with Margie in

NOT LIKING RED HAIR. Old

as devoted as husband as you
had been a son, but l COULD

CYNTHIA. 5GREY'S
LETTERS

Dear Miss Grey: / would
be very much pleased il you
will help me a little, as L
don't know what to say.
There are two girls that l
like very much, and | like
one better than the other,
and every time l see them
they are together. How
would you tell her that you
want to go with the other
girl only?
l ask the girl. and she
does not want to lose her
friendship, and neither do /.
How can we tell her that
We do not want her with us
all the time. Thank you
very much. C-227.
Al would not tell her mt all
il 1 were you. IL you and the
girl you like will be unselfish
enough to want the other girl
with you and try to make her
have a good time, 1 am sure q
way will open to make all more
happy.
Dear Miss Grey: Not long
ago l was invited to a
friends house for lunch. We
all came home at the same
time, five in all, and | paid
the fare. My two sisters-in-
law seemed shocked and al
most looked a hole through
me, which gives me the inn
preston that l made a mis-
take. Did l do right or
wrong? IGNORANCE.
A.-Accordng to etiquette, you
did exactly what is proper--but
l beg to disagree. 1t seems to
me very foolish habit we have
gotten into. When a number OF
friends get on the street car !
see no reason why each should
not pay his or her own fare. The
custom as followed now makes
everyone feel uncomfortable.
The ones who do not want to be
considered stingy make a sprint
to get ahead; while those who
want to hold back and have
someone else pay the way, are i'm
hot water for fear they will be
pushed to the front and have to
put their hands in their pockets
and part with little cash.
II 1 had my way, every man,
woman and child would pay his
own way--AND WE WOULD ALL
FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE.
Dear Miss Grey: l came
to the city two weeks ago. l
was going with young
man where I was before and
he was always nice to me,
and came to see me twce a
week.
When I told him I was 60
ing away he told friends,
and they put him up to all
kinds of bad things. The
last time we went out we
took a long walk, and he not
only insulted me, but tried +,
to use force. l ran home,
and he caught up and said .
he was sorry, that he was
trying to see what kind of
girl l was. He asked me to
write, and didn't know
what to say for fear If I
didn't he would talk about
me. He has a picture of
mine. What shall / do? l
will do as you say.
