PAGET IS MADE GOAT
Of IRISH SITUATION BY
BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Declares Military Occupation
of Ulster Was Never Con-
templated.
BACKDoWN is COMPLETE
Wholesale designations Of Army Off
cials Checked by Announcement of
Governments Attitude.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.l

London, March 23.--By shifting the
blame for its seemingly warlike atti-
tude in Ulster from its own shoulders
upon those of Sir Arthur Paget, Brit
lish military commander--in- the
London government succeeded today in
checking, temporarily, at least, the
wholesale resignation of army officers
which the home rule situation precipi-
tated.
Paget, it was explained, meant well,
but he had misunderstood his orders.
The government had thought, to be
sure, that the troops might be needed
to aid the civil authorities in keeping
order, but it had never contemplated
a military occupation Of Ulster. Sir
Arthur seemed to have had the contrary
impression, and in his talks with the Of
fieers under him, had given them a
wrong impression Of the duty they
might be required to perform.
The movement of troops in Ireland,
said Premier Asquith himself, was with
a view of protecting government arms
and ammunition-notbing more.
Paget Made scapegoat.
There was a widespread belief that
these explanations were in the nature
of backdown, and that General Paget
was being made the government g
scapegoat. The conservatives even pro-
fssed to have documentary evidence
that he was acting only under explicit
orders from the war office.
Nevertheless the designations ceased
amy many officers who had already sur
rendered their commissions accepted
them back again, and resumed their du.
ties.
1t did not appear likely however,
that the lull would last long The mo.
ment an attempt was made to push the
home rule bill again it seemed certain
that Ulster would rise and the how the
government could avoid resorting to
military force in such a case nobody
could see, On the other hand, trouble
with the Irish was believed inevitable,
unless the home rule bill was pushed
with all speed.
The opinion was widespread that the
Asquith cabinets fall was near.

Election of Men to Membership Who

BY CARLTON TEN EYcK

New York, March 23.-The complete
downfall Of Tammary Hall as a politi.
cal factor in Greater New Yorl is for
cast as the result of the dropping Of
Charles F. Murphy and several Of his
leaders from the roster Of the National
Democratic club, the greatest Demo
cratic organization in the city. But it
was not generally known that the
dropping of Murphy meant an actual
money loss to the chief. BY forfeiting
their membership, Murphy and his
henchmen lost their equities n the
property Of the National Democratic
club, which is worth considerably more
than a million dollars.
Non.payment of dues was the ostensi.
BILE reason why Murphy, Thomas F.
Foley, James +. Gaffney and about one
hundred lesser Tammany lights were
ousted from the club but the r'al rea.

Especial Star-BuIlctin Correspondence
.- WASHINGTON. d. c., Dec. 25.-
Must the governpent or the contrac.
tors sustain the loss resulting from
unexpected and unforeseen compiled
lions encountered in constructing the
dryGock at Pearl Harbor?
This question has been engrossing
navy department officials for some
time. After the return of Alfred
Noble and the submission of his re.
port prdhouncing it practicable to COM
plete the work, Secretary Daniels an
nounced that the entire problem would
be put up to Congress early next year.
That body would be given an oppor-
tunity 10 assume full responsibility for
settling the matter. He would appear
before the house committee on naval
affairs and explain all features of the
situation.
representatives of the contra ctors
were insistent that their clients should
be released from accountability for the
bottom of the drydock sinking and
their loss should be limited to expendi,
ture of the original SO 400, 900 appro.
priated. 1t was aFguesl that Cengress
must allow whatever additional
amount was necessary to build the
drydock
In order to speedily terminate the
controversy Secretary Daniels finally
determined to request an expert legal
opinion from the department of JUS
tiee. With that end in view; Attorney
general McReynolds was asked for
an opinion. .,'- ~
+ The conclusions of the attorney.gen-
eral have not been submitted. 1t is
>unlikely he will take the question up
till after the holiday season ends. He
went to Elkton. Kentucky, before
Christmas and is not expected here
until January II. Unless some Of his
assistants attend to the request made
by Secretary Daniels nothing will be
accomplished until after the re-as-
sembling of Congress and the return
of Mr.. McReynolds.
Think Contractors Will Lose.
The general belief prevails that the
opinion when rendered will be adj
verse to the contractors. 1t is thought
the department of Justice authorities
will hold that the contractors must
carry out their agreement and con
struct the drydock for So 100000. 1t
is thought the blame for not making
stipulationS Of exception must rest up.
On those undertaking to build the dry.
cock and no culpability attaches to re-
representatives. Of the government.
In the event that such an opinion is
given Secretary Daniels there will pc
no necessity for the further apprOpri
alton of funds by Congress, as was at
first anticipated 1t will become the
duty of the contractors to pocket their
loss and go ahead with the work &C
cording to the plans laid 'loWn by Mr..
Noble.
Under such circumstances relief for
the contractors only could be afforded
by Congressional action. In view OF
the conditions it is highly probable
that reasonable allowance would be
made. A course Of that character has
always been followed in the case Of
delayed battleships and other con.
tract work.
