Dublin, March Pit was reported
during the day that Field Marshall
French had arrived here to inves-
tigate the retirement of officers be-
cause of their refusal to fight Ulster.
Later, however, it was declared the
report was due to mistaken identity,
and that Sir John was not in Dublin.
Upwards Of 100 officers of the
troops stationed at the Curragh are
said to have resigned. This number
includes most of the officers of the
Fourth Hussars.

SUMMARY OF WHAT LED TO THE
TROUBLE

VI commons, dfIGT Struggling IOI
years, induced British government to
introduce Irish home rule bill.
With the slogan ''Ulster will fight, !"
Orangemen of Ulster, realizing home
rule almost certainty, have organ
lied a volunteer army estimated at
from $4,000 to 100000 men under
the leadership of Sir Edward Carson,
Bonar Law and others, to resist by
force of arms Dublin parliament.
Fearing uprisings if home rule
were enacted, Premier Asquith Of
fered to compromise by permitting
the nine Ulster counties to vote on
the question of refusing to recognize
an Irish parliament for a number of
years.
Obstetrics refused any compromise
and the British government, since
Thursday has been mobilizing troops
and ships of war at strategic points.
- One hundred army officers are re-
ported to have resigned their COM.
missions rather than engage in the
threatened civil war.
The home rule bill has twice passed
the House of Commons and has been
rejected twice by the House of Lords.
If passed a third time by the Com
mons, it becomes a law regardless of
any vote in the House of Lords.
London, March 21.-England today
made every preparation for war in
Ulster. All troops in Ireland were
ordered to be in readiness to start
northward at a moments notice.
All leaves of absence were can
celled. Officers now on leave were
recalled and all reserves were order
ed to be prepared to join the colors
instantly. Orders were hurriedly dis
patched to all garrisons for the equip
ment of troops and every preparation
made to pour an army of tremendous
numbers into Ulster.

genirs OF sagebrush.
Whatever had been the tenor of the
communication between father and
daughter, Judith eventually emerged
from the drawing room in an ominous
temper, Barcus, coming drowsily
away from his compartment at the
same time, was Jared wide awake by
sight of the foreboding countenance
she wore, and after moment of doubt
followed her back to the lounge at the
rear Of the car.
He got there in time to see her at
rigid standstill, staring steadfastly at
the two figures SO close together on
the observation platform. But on
his appearance Judith shook herself
together, snatched up magazine, and
plunged wrathfully into an easy chair,
burying her nose between the pages of
the publication with every indication
OF deep interest In Its text.
Mr.. Barcus, however, had learned
the lesson Of bitter experience to the
effect that the outward bearing Of
Miss Judith Urine was no sure index
to her inward humor-uness, that is,
it might be taken to indicate the di-
rect contrary of its semblance;
though even this was no reliable rule.
Reminding himself Of this, he there

other agazine-round the edge Of
which he kept wary eye upon the

1t was unhappy Mr. Barcus who pre-

was suffering from a severe sprain to

Mr., Law answered this unanswer-

platform of the Pullman, he cast a
hopeless eye over the landscape

HEKE is perhaps no one thing oul
young people need so much as thor
ough business training.
1t is said that 80 per cent of the
business men of this day and age arc
failures. Wherein lies the troubles In
nine cases out Of ten, there is lack
|of system--a lack Of preparation for
business. Careful training will remedy
this evil.
Few young people realize the bless
ling they enjoy in living at time when
they can take course in a business
college, and get the training in few
months time which it took their fathers
as many years to acquire in the school
of experience.
College II Years Old.
At Portland, Oregon, is located the
Behnke-W Walker Business College, oc-
cupying the old Y. M. G. A. building,
at Fourth near Morrison streets. The
fact that this institution was founded
only IL years ago seems almost in
credible, considering the size, the equip
ment of the school and the number of
students enrolled.
The school occupies about one-half
acre of school room, and in addition
to this, a new typewriting room on the
fourth floor is to be ready for oceup-
ancy this fall.
Visiting the different shorthand, type.
writing, bookkeeping and telegraph
rooms, and seeing so many students at
work so earnestly, preparing for busi-
ness life, one cannot help feeling that
it bodies well for the future of the Pa,
cific Northwest.
System Is Watchword.
System is the watchword throughout
the departments.
A careful record is kept of attend
ance, students being required to make
out tardy blanks when late and excuse
blanks on leaving school at irregular
hours, which must be o. X d. at the of
flee.
Behnke- Walker fills a need in the
community-actual business methods
are taught, Here, too, is a place for a
class of students who have not com
pleted the course in the public school,
who want more education, and yet feel
that they are overgrown and out of
place in the public schools. The work
is arranged especially to help these,
With students enrolling at any time
during the year and having such a diff
ference in education to begin the work
in business college, it was necessary
to formulate some plan to take care of
all. Hence, the work is arranged SO
that a great deal of individual instruc-
tion can be given-so that one student

The wisdom of this plan has been

Good Work Done.
Good work is being done and bust,
ness-like atmosphere is felt on every
side
| Frequent talks to the students are
given on various subjects from politics
to dress, by the president of the college
and by business men and women.
A choral class has been organiped
under the direction of DR.. Emma, one
of the leading musiciaps in this sec
tion, and students who desire the in

When the baseball season opened, a

The position question-the placing Of
Istudents-is one that receives a great
deal of attention. Many student
wants a position, but could not hold it
Iif he had it. Few business houses will
take young man or young woman and
train them for business. They think
a young person should perfect his train
ing before applying for any position.
They can get some one who has been
trained, so why should they bother to
train anyone9
The management of the school confer
with business men to learn just what the
business men want, and Just what they
do not want, in employees, and govern
themselves accordingly in planning the
work of the school.
Students Are Placed.
If the students would do the work
assigned in a careful, painstaking way,
and thus prepare themselves for a posi-,
tion, they would be placed. The num-
Der of calls the college receives for
competent help is far in excess of the
number placed. When student is put
in position, the college wants to be
able to guarantee that he will prove
satisfactory to his employer, and thus a
credit to the school and himself.
1t may be Of interest to many to know
that seven of the girls who ran for

Farmer Disagrees
with Pullman

- WO heads are said often to be better
than one. This is not always the
case. 1t depends upon the ease.
In a recent bulletin, published in this
paper, from the University of Wash
ington at Pullman, written by Professor
Fl. L. Blanchard, the writer declared
that the only cure for roup was to "cut
off the chicken 3 head and get rid of
her." thus preventing the spread Of
the disease.
From Mrs. Fl. p Kinney, an Airing
ton, WASH, farmer, the Home and Farm
Magazine section has received the fol-
lowing letter, which speaks for itself
and which we commend to Professor
Blanchard for his opinion:
Dear Editor:--I should like to answer
II. l. Blanchard with Roup Cure which
we have used and know it to be very
successful and recommend it's use:
Take or. of nitrate of lead to ozs
of water With medicine dropper put
in the eyes and throat. Take lb. nj
trate Of lead to tub Of water and dip
each chicken. Do this in the chicken
house and spray the chicken house with
what is left.
