of the truth?
How many newspapers in this

How many newspapers have been

printing pages of alleged news about
the war in Mexico-or the attempt of
rich American investors in Mexican
property to start a war?
Very few newspapers printed even
a little bit of the truth about the war

of them gave their readers much of
the real news about the industrial
war in Colorado until women and
children were murdered in cold
blood at Ludlow.
And how much news would have
been printed at all had not the min
ers of Colorado armed themselves
and fought to protect their lives and
the lives of their women and chill
dren?
The truth is that majority of the,
newspapers in this country are so

and Gen. Ewart Refuse To
Consider Service In Ulster
ACTION DUE TO
ASQUITH ULTIMATUM
Reputation Of Cough Treaty.
BY Prims Minister Leads
Veterans to Withdraw

LONDON. March 2e.-Ths Evening
News this afternoon announced the
resignation Of Field Marshal Sir John
French and Gen. John Spencer Ewart.
Fold Marshal Sir John Denton
Pinkst6ne French served In the Brit.
:sh army since 1874. when he was an
oflicer In the eighth hussars. During
the Soudan campaign Of 1Ss4s6 he
served with the Nineteenth Hussars.
In 1893 he was appointed to com
msnd the cavalry division In Natal
and commanded the cavalry In the
battles Of Driefontetn and Lombards
Kop. He was one OF the leading
commanders during the Boer war,
commanding the troops In the oper-
atoms around Coleburg and also the
cavalry In the movement which cul-
miuated in the relief OF Kimberly in
February. 1900.
During the operations which ended
In the capture Of Bloemfontein and
Pretoria General French commanded
tho cavalry division Of Lord Roberts
forces. He then commanded the
forces which captured Barberton and
those operating in Eastern Trans
vaal.
As members Of the war council,
General French. and General Ewart
signed the Cough treaty" with War
Secretary Seely. The reputation Of
the assurances given Cough that the
Irish ofacers would not be expected
to serve against Ulster led to their
resignations. The two generals, It 10
said, were led to believe that the two
paragraphs repudiated In the house
Of commons BY Asquith had been APP
proved by the cabinet.
