THE BRITISH CRISIS.
1.-THE British Army.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

LONDON, May 4.--When tens Of thou
sands Of armed volunteers are drilling IN
Ulster with the avowed purpose OF re-
sisting with force any attempt to make
Irish home rule effective, II is but nat
ural that one would ask: Where is the
British army?" There is but one ap-
parent answer to that question.
The British army is in sulIen and skulk
ing revolt.
1t has not openly rebeied against its
government but many of its officers
have refused TO obey orders have at
tempted to obtain promises from the
government as conditions OF their obey
ing orders. and have allied themselves
clearly and certainly with the unionist
party. according to unionist testimony
this rebellious attitude is shared by the
men in the ranks, who also swear that
they will mutiny before they will draw a
trigger in the coercion of Ulster
This language all too mildly states the
situation. For army officers have not
only gone So far as to decline to take
steps to uphold the DEGREES of parila-
uaent in Ulster. but they have also shared
in the declaration that the government
thecause it undertook to protect arms
and stores in Ulster by disposing govern
ment troops in the provncel was guilty
of an act of outrageous treachery
amounting TO a provocation Of massacre.
This is the so-called Ulster plot
which the opposition charges against the

whatever Congress may do. And as the
threats become more violent. the govern
ment orders several regiments OF regular
soldiers to the forts in Oklahoma 70 pro
iect the ammunition and army stores
from seizure by the Oklahoma volun-
teers.
Thereupon. the chief of staff OF the
army and the other officers decline to
obey orders. and say that to 80 into
oklahoma to protect the stores might
cause the Oklahoma volunteers 10 shoot
and that would mean bloodshed. Not
only do they disobey. but ask the gov
eminent to give them written guarantees

Furnish to tho opposition party a fun ac-
count of what went the basis OF a
charge against the government OF foul
plot to drench Oklahoma in blood.
That is not really as strong as the real
situation in Ulster stands. but the anal
uEy is substantially correct The army
has sulenly defied the parliament and
the parliament lis for the time being
stunned. II Is forced into inaction, be-
cause il does not know how far it can go

merits Of the controversy in Ireland. of
which both sides will be presented in
later articles. Il merely presents the facts
as they have been shown to exist and are
admitted. These indicate that in the
event Of civil war the parliament can by
no means rely upon the loyalty of the
army. and therein lies the gravest of the
grave dangers that threaten England.
The truth is-and this must be borne
in mind constantiy-that this revolt is not
based altogether on home rule. The home
rule bill is the occasion rather than the
cause. 1t is in reality a part of the des-
perate struggle of the house of lords to
regain its power as coordinate branch
of the Legislature. to the end that the
interests of the aristocratic governing
classes may be conserved.
A clear understanding of the situation
cannot be had except by taking into con-
sideration this acute constitutional ques-
ton. which goes far deeper than home
rule Tomorrow's article, therefore, will
discuss the house Of lords.

were still the age of dueliing there would

In order that the situation may be
clear to the American reader in all its
tragic righteousness. let us transfer the
circumstances to American soil. Sup
pose, for instance. when it was proposed
to admit Oklahoma to the Union as
state and clothe it with home rule that
portion OF the people of the territory
had raised objections and had said that
they preferred to remain under the di
rect control of the Washington govern
ment. Suppose. then. that three general
elections had been held with the Okla
honla question at is lie. and that three
Congresses had been elected on the
plict understanding thai Oklahoma should
have statehood. Suppose. Furthermore,
that the Senate ignored these elections.
End that at last its power had TO be
taken away from il in order that The
mandate OF the people might be oueyed.
suppose. then. that the bill had passed
the House three times and was ready 10
become law.

TAKING THE HINT.

In the course of an interview with
Mr.. Priebe, one of the most success
full dealers in chickens eggs, and but
ter in the entire middle west, he made
some remarks which, for their shrewd-
ness and sound common sense, we
thought we'll worth passing on. We
may not be able to quote Mr.. Priebe
verbatim, but we are reasonably sure
of sufficient fidelity to his meaning.
Il am constantly amazed" said Mr..
Priebe, Eat the failure of the average
farmer to take advantage of the OPP
portunities he has in abundance around
him to make a comfortable fortune in
the poultry and egg business. This
is due, l think, to the neglect of the
most elementary bookkeeping in the
matter of checking up the foot of that
branch of business and the returns
from it. Scarcely a farmer that |
know has any clear notion of what
he pays to feed his chickens, how
much time he spends in their care, or
what percentage he is making on his
investment of labor and cash. Until
the farmers make practice of care
fully tabulating all their expenses in
the handling of poultry and all their
returns the chances are strongly
against their getting the profit they

SMOKING UP"

Is it unreasonable 10 ask people
to have their trash hauled away in

prevalence of the choking and blind

smudge pile of half-wet grass or rub
bish? Everyone loves a great, crackl-
ing, red, cavorting bonfire. There is
something quite festival about dane
ing flames and the darting out OF
the bold sparks. People like to gath
er around, to add fagot, and to make
the red glow leap even higher. But
there is nothing jolly or pleasant about
the smouldering, smoky heaps that
are too wet to burn and that only sue
coed in driving people in off the
porches or from their evening strolls
through attractive neighborhoods.
And all night long, sleep is but a
succession of wild dreams of hair
breadth escapes from fire on the top
floor of city y-scraper,-lurid sug-
gestions of the smoke that comes in
at the open bedroom windows, steal
ing and giving odor."
Would it not be delightful to live
tbrouoh an antira ceaSon in Moscow i'm
which our noses were not offended
and our eyes not made to smart by
the almost daily affliction of smoking
trash pile? Sometimes the low-float-
ing cloud will travel blocks to annoy
and disturb. People susceptible to
hay-fever suffer excruciatingly from
the breathing of air laden with the
smoke from half-damp grass and
leaves. 1t is too bad to spoil the
charm of a climate in which the air II
left to itself "nimbly and sweetly
recommends itself unto our gentle
senses"
Most cities have ordinances for
either in his own yard or in the street. |
People are specifically ordered to have |
all refuse hauled away. Until we
have a similar rule, it is probable that
the selfish practice of sitting our
with our smoke Will
be more or less general. But in the
interests of general comfort could We
not unite on one day and plan to strike
all the matches at one hour? The
first spring cleaning could be on
a day universally agreed upon, and
later accumulations of grass and
leaves could be taken away in carts.
Wouldn't this scheme of smoking up
once and for all be good one? Those

occasion would be glad the worst was
