LONDON, March 21.-King George

trouble in Ulster,

conciliatory move will be is a. matter of
conjecture tonight, but it is known that
the king is using every influence to avert

His majesty had long conferences with
rotary of state for war; Colonel Seely
and several other high officers, and aft
erward summoned Field Marshal Lord
Roberts. The latter has been criticised
by the Liberals for utterances which
they construed as encouragement to
those Officers who have resigned from
their regiments.
From the palace the veteran field mar
shal drove directly to the war office.

tary for war The army council held an
extended conference at the war office,
generals and lesser officers OF the staff

tions to preserve order in Ulster have
precipitated crisis without parallel in
the history Of the British army. Rather

Army Crippled.
While the war office refuses to say
how many have resigned, popular be-
lief, based on reports from the differ.

Withdrawals has crippled the whole mil
Itary organization in Ireland and pre-.
vented carrying out the orders for NOV

The Marquis of Londonderry, one of
the Ulster leaders, said tonight that
nothing of the sort had occurred in the
British army since the days of the
American revolution
Public curiosity is at fever heat over
the question of how the government is
to deal with the designations. The Lib

Conservatives argue that the situation

HOME RULE STRUGGLE

Agitation Has Been the Cause of Many Excit-
ing Scenes In and Out of
Parliament.

the secession of Joseph Chamber
lain and other Liberal leaders, who
since have acted with the Conserv-
ative party on Irish questions.
Since then several Irish home rule
bills havo been introduced by Lib
eral leaders, and the last one
passed the house of commons, but
was rejected by the house Of lords.
This led to the passage three
years ago of the parliament act

The present agitation has been
mainly brought about by the prac-
teal certainty that Premier AS
quith Is Irish home rule bill would
become law without the consent of
the house of lords. Sir Edward
Carson is at the head of the agi-
tation against home rule among tho
Unionists of Ulster. He and sew
eral other leading men took the in
itiative in organizing an army Of
Ulster volunteers to resist the in

Most Of these are found in the four
Ulster counties of Londonderry,

STATE CONTROL OF GUNS

G. WELLS, writing from Lon
r. don, suggests that a great
= = step toward the realization of
the dream of universal peace
shall have been taken when the ma
tions of the world unite to forbid the
manufacture of arms for private gain.
There is more in this than might at
first appear. Certain noted manufac-
turers of guns in Europe have waxed
enormously rich through the growth
of the military spirit in Germany and
elsewhere. The Krupps of Germany
are more than a mere manufacturing
organization. Their shareholders.
their paid agents, their spies and their
personally conducted newspapers, IL
has been repeatedly asserted, have all
used their influence to induce the
ruling powers of Europe to buy guns.
Guns of all descriptions are their
stock in trade and how successfully
they have piled their business is illus
trated by the fact that our own. by

PROTECTING THE FARMERS

TT HE efficiency of the State De-
partment of Agriculture is again
= demonstrated by the prompt
action of Secretary n. B. Critch-
field in laying plans to protect the
farmers of Pennsylvania from unscru-
pulous dealers in fertilizers. The war
in Europe has cut off the German i'm
ports of potash and as this ingredient
is an important factor in the COM
position of all the commercial fer
tilizers. its omission would work great
injury to the farmers using the de-
fcient article.
Years ago farmers were at the
mercy of the dealers. They had to
take the merchants word for the con-
tents of the fertilizer and tons upon
tons of worthless sand were sold. In
recent years the Department of Agri-
culture has put a stop to this practice
and now. with a shortage of potash,
the Secretary is taking time by the
forelock by removing temptation be-
fore the manufacturers are induced
by the unsettled condition of the mar
kets to violate the rules laid down for
them by the Legislature. This action
alone will save the farmers of the
State, it is believed. more than the
entire expense of operating the De-
partment of Agriculture for the cur
rent year.

THE ANGLo-JAPANEsE ALLIANCE
New York Sun. /

The ultimatum of Japan to Ger
many is like that of Austria to Servia
in that the demands were manifestly
drawn with the deliberate intention of
making compliance impossible and
war certain. The first thought in
every impartial mind will be of the
outrageous brutality of this proceed
ing on the part of Japan at a time
when the German empire is fighting
for life against three of the greatest
of the world powers. The second
thought will be that Germany in the
hour of her distress, is reaping what
she sowed twenty years ago when the
kaiser, for his own purposes, stepped
between the new young power of the
Far East and the fruits of her victory
over China.
What would have happened if Ger
many had not then earned the i'm
placable enmity of Japan? The ques-
tion is of considerable interest to the
people of the United States. What
ever reasons for deep concern there
may be in Japans entry into the war
of the nations as Germany's adver-
sary, a state of affairs with Germany
and Japan allied and cooperating
might be immeasurably worse for our
prestige and possessions in and beyond
the Pacific.

SUGAR PRICE SOARING

It is unfortunate for the Democratic
party that the war happened so
long before the November election
The Washington administration had
hoped that the industrial disturbance
resulting from the war in this country
and the raising of the price of food
stuffs would all be charged to the
European disturbance.
But now comes the official Journals
of the several industries most affected
with facts and figures to show that the
war has simply emphasized and aggra-
waited the conditions brought about by
the tariff changes of the Democratic
administration. Especially is this true
with respect to the price of sugar. the

RIVER Front PARKS

TOR several weeks Park Commits
- sioner Taylor has been nego-
= tiating with one contractor and
another with a view to making
available the large quantities of ma
terial which will be excavated at Sec
ond and Mulberry streets for the fill
ing out of the narrow stretches along
the river front in the northern section
of the city. But he seems to-day to
be just where he started on the propo-
sition and unless some plan can be
worked out between now and the first
of September it is probable this large
quantity of filling matter will be lost
to the city and serve no purpose other
than the filling of quarry holes or
waste places that can do the people no
good.
In view of the fact that the appro-
priation of 500, 900 for the completion
of the park system is available for the
river strip it ought to be possible to
find some way to utilize this large
amount of material now in sight and
which is needed so badly at this par
ticular time to complete the river
front improvement How the dirt
shall be hauled to the stretches where
1t is needed is a matter of detail and
the great necessity for completing the
river front improvement without fur
ther delay justifes immediate steps
being taken to this end.
One proposition after another has
been submitted to the City Council
but, none having met with favor. it is
now up to Park Commissioner Taylor
to make the best arrangement possible
without regard to the method to he
used in transferring the dirt from the
proposed subway to the places where
it is needed.
Unless the slope Is put in decent
shape the large sums which are now
being expended for the construction
of the retaining wall and the wide
granolithic walk at the foot of the
slope will be in a measure wasted
insofar as the appearance of the river
front is concerned. Until the slope
shall have been properly graded and
planted to prevent erosion the walk
and steps will be constantly covered
with dirt that is certain to he washed
down the slope with every heavy rain
Commissioner Taylor has been so en-
barrassed by the shifting propositions
of contra ctors and the impossible
conditions of their proposals that he
will now be warranted in going ahead
on any reasonable basis that will make
this great quantity of dirt available
for the completion of the river park
in the northern section of the city.

Many OF the newspapers throughout
the State have taken up the cudgel
against the proposed Gripping of the
State Constabulary by the Withholding
of an appropriation by the next Legis-
lature. Candidates for the Legislature
who have pledged themselves not to
favor this appropriation are hearing
from their constituents much more Wig
orously than could have been antici-
pated when the radicals who are op-
posed to the constabulary made their
move some time ago. As matter Of
fact the State police is quite as popu-
lar in the quiet rural districts as in the
industrial centers. because 1t is in the
widelyseparated rural communities
that some of the best work of the con-
stabulary has been done in ferreting
out horse thieves, highwaymen and
other undesirables.
