FIGHT ON FOR POST
OF IRISH VICEROY
Nationalist Want Earl
Granard, Churchill Aids
Lord WimbOrne.
fBy Gable 10 The Tribune ]

London, Dec. 1.-The contest be-
tween Lord Wimborne and Earl Gran
ard for the post of Viceroy of Ireland,
which Earl Aberdeen is about to re-
sign, is the most exciting feature of
domestic politics at the moment. Both
already hold Offices in the government,
and it is understood that Wimborne has
the strongest pull with the Cabinet.
Winston Churchill is using all his eff
forts to secure the office for his first
cousin.
Granard finds his main support
among the Irish Nationalists, who do
not care overmuch for Churchill or his
relatives and think that the appoint
ment of Granard. an lrishman, first
Viceroy under Home Rule would be ap-
propriate and desirable. Granard's
other chief source Of strength is from
the court, where as master of the
horse he has made himself very popu-
lar. and although in theory the court
does not interfere in political appoint
ments, il can often put in a decisive
word where there is a difficulty Of
choice.
Since Wimborne has represented the
Irish government in the House of Lords
he has found its atmosphere chilling.
His success with the British polo team
in the United States was achieved I'M
der the utmost encouragement at the
hands of the polo authorities here,
actuated, absurd as it may appear, by
political hostility because he was a
supporter of the Home Rule bill.
Granard. as Catholic, has been nomy-
nally disqualified from being Lord Lieu
tenant of ireland, with five-sixths of it's
population Catholic, but under the
Home Rule bill this remnant of the
penal laws has been removed. VIM
borne is a Protestant, and it is con-
tended in his favor that should Sir
Edward Carson attempt to fulfil his
threats of revolt in Ulster after the
war it would be advisable that the
Ulster 0rangemen should not have the
excuse of charging the Kings repre-
sentative in Ireland with religious bias,
which, of course. they would do.
Premier Asquith has rarely had a
more awkward decision to make, both
on personal and ministerial grounds. A
delicate feature Of the case is that the
wives of the Cabinet ministers and
leading ladies of the court and society
ar, pulling every imaginable string on
behalf of their particular candidate. !t
is possible that the Premier may find
himself driven in self-defence to put
both Wimborne and Granard aside and
select some compromise candidate.

SOUTH GERMANY
OPPOSED TO WAR
Not Lack of Men or Food,
but Munitions, KaiSer's
Problem.
lBy Gable to The Tribun. ]

London, Dec. 15.-"The Times" cor
respondent sends the following, under
the da;e South Germany:
IL have talked with several South
Germans about the war, and the feeling
is not nearly so strong and enthd-
siastic as il Is in Prussia. However,
their feeling Of hatred against Prussia
has apparently disappeared. They real
ize they must stick together and pull
this war through as best they can.
Prussia and the military party are
naturally blamed, and the popularity of
the Kaiser is far from being what 1t is
in the north. They fight because they
must. If Prussia loses the southern
states share her fate and have got TO
play their part, but ! doubt if they will
play the game longer than absolutely
necessary. II they begin to realize the
Of their case the southern
states will be the first TO cry for peace.
As a matter of fact, the South Ger
mans are a peace loving people. and
always have been utterly opposed 10
the heavy ornaments OF Prussia. After
this war the prestige Of Prussia in the
eyes Of the South German states will
suffer heavily and probably disappear
altogether.
Their confidence in the Austrian
army has been shaken TO the ground,
but | am firmly convinced that the
German people themselves will fight to
a finish. When finally they have to
give in it will not be for want Of SOL
diers, neither for want of food or
money, as so generally believed. Their
danger lies in the question of ammu-
milton. ] have heard rumors that they
are very short of saltpetre for the
OF gunpowder. as export
from Scandinavia. from where they re-
ceived large supplies, is stopped.
"An important business man offered
10 pay me the price / demanded for
whatever quantity of copper / could
provide him with. He feared that in
a few months they would have 70 start
destroying useful articles to get the
necessary copper"

BONAR LAW REVIEWS
PLEDGE OF LOYALTY
Wants Party Guilty of Too
Little, Not Too Much,
Criticism.

London, Dec. IA letter sent by A.
Bonar Law and the Marquis of Lans-
downe, Unionist leaders in the House
of Commons and the House of Lords,
respectively, to Prime Minister Asquith
on Sunday, August ., when the decision
Of the government whether to partici-
pate i'm the war was doubtful. was read
by Mr.. Bonar Law at a meeting of the
Unionist chairmen and agents to-day.
The letter was as follows:
Lord Lansdowne and ! feel 1t our
duty to inform you that, in our opinion.
as well as in that of all our colleagues
whom we have been able to consult, 1t
would be fatal to the honor and the
security of the United Kingdom to
hesitate in supporting France and Rus
STA at the present juncture, and we
offer our unhesitating support to the
government in any measures they may
consider necessary for that object"
After reading the contents of the let
ter Mr.. Bonar Law in speech, said:
Before the war party passions were
infamed TO such an extent that | saw
no possible outlet which would not be
disastrous to the country. In a mo-
ment the whole situation was changed.
"In our country there is no single
instance since parliamentary govern
ment was introduced where the gov
eminent engaged in conducting war
has not been hampered and harrassed
by the action of the Opposition. That
was true in the wars of Marlborough;
IL was still moIe emphatically true IN
the struggle against Napoleon. and IT
was true in the last war in which this
country was engaged.
81 think il is quite possible that we
have made the mistake not of critics.
ing the government too much. but OF
criticising it too little; but if a mis-
take had TO be made ! prefer that 1t
were made in that direction
Mr.. Bonar Law said that after four
months since the beginning Of the war
he could look forward TO the future
with hope and complete confidence.
Germany" he said, has failed.
They have not crushed France. They
cannot crush France. and already the
Russian armies are on their frontiers:
We have a terrible struggle in front Of
US. but the final result is not in doubt.
The greatest honor which can come
upon us as a party will be that when
the war is over we can truthfully say
that we nothing common did, or mean,
upon that memorable scene.

WORK ON STATE CAPITOL
TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED

Oklahoma City, Oct 25.-Work at
the state capitol building grounds has
been suspended on account of the
rain and the recently threatened water
shortage, according to announcement
Thursday by p. j. Goulding of the
capitol building commission. Work
will probably be resumed Monday, if
no further unfavorable conditions de-
yelop, it Is said.
Eight car loads Of lumber, three
carloads of steel, six cars of cement
and four cars of crushed rock have
been received at the grounds this
week. and 1t is now the intention of
the building commissioners to begin
actual work on the concrete founda-
ton and floor of the sub-basement ear
ly next week.
Parts of the machinery for the two
concrete mixers and "spurters," are
now being assembled on the grounds
and put in shape for work. The two
towers rising eighty feet in the air
from the bottom of the excavation,
from which the concrete will be dis
tributed, have been completed The
towers can be seen from office build
ings in the business section of the city.

work, Mr. Goulding said, except those
placed directly by the commissioners,
or through the Oklahoma City state

intendent of construction has been in
structed by the commissioners, Mr..
Goulding stated, not to accept labor
ers furnished by any private agency

ALL AMERICANS
sss
SHOULD HEAR
MARINE BAND
1T is THE PEOPLES BAND, MAIN
TAINEO BY THE v. S. GOVERN
MENT AND THE RECOGNIZED
PREMIER MILITARY BAND.

The concert to be given here by the
famous United States Marine Band al
Robson Opera House, Ardmore, Ok
lahoma, on Monday afternoon, Nov. 2
of this city, for so seldom is leave
granted by the president to the band
to absent itself from Washington, that
its appearance in any city but the
national capital is looked upon as a
special compliment to the people of
the locality thus favored.
Apart from the enjoyment to be de-
rived from such a concert, it is a good
thing for the people of the country to
become personally acquainted with the
one great musical organization which
has been specially created and is spe-
cially fostered by the government The
United States Marine Band is as much
an integral part of the government as
are the army and the navy. It's mem
bers have to go through the regular
military drill of the marine corps,
and may be required to do guard
duty in extraordinary emergencies. In
strenuous times, as in the late scrim-
mage with Spain, the marine band has
rendered conspicuous service.
In appearance it is always striking,
for it is made up of men mostly of fine
physique, and it's brilliant uniform of
red coats with white facing, blue
trousers and red caps, is artistically
attractive. The leader Lieut.. William
H. Santelmann, is of a stature which
would have made him fit subject to
be impressed into the famous Grena-
dier Guards of old Frederick William
of Prussia.
Mr. Santelmann also is an accom-
plished musician, versed on every in
strument of his band, and a master of
the violin and other instruments used
in an orchestra. Surrounded with mu-
sicians picked from among the very
best to be found in this country, he
has, since he became the leader of
the United States Marine Band in 1899,
welded Heterogeneous elements into a
compact and harmonious whole, until
today this band is unsurpassed even
by the best of Germany or France.
The music played by the band will
please everybody, whether skilled in
the art or not, for its programs are
made up from every stratum of mu-
sical position. It's range is unlimited.
