They must, however. give their word of honor not to ngnt TOT HJfster In the published correspoHu- ence Brig. general Hubert Cough un7 S5a,-liy,es nlnrases such as active op- ara lions, when asking for further in Formation and 1t appears evident that he has quoted the remarks of General Paget. euce that the war office was informed s.r1v in December last of the possi- bility of resignations of officers being presented in4 case the political situa- ton in regard to Ulster came to a crisis. In consequence of this in1or- mation. Col. John Seely, Secretary; or state for War, interviewed. the general ofTicers in command and explained to them that an officer of the British army was entitled to obey orders to shoot only in case the order was reasonable one under the aeircum- stances.
 OUTLINED ARMY'S DUTIES.
 The Secretary for War told them that no one, from a general down to a private. was entitled to use more force than was required to maintain order and the safety of life and property He pointed out that Soldier could shelter himself from the civil law be- hind an order given by a. superior officer if that order was unreasona- b1e and outrageous. He continued: .sIf, therefore. officers and men of the British army have been led to be 1ieve that there is a possibility that they might be called upon to take outrageous action-for instance, to massacre a demonstration of Orange men who were causing no danger to the lives of their neighbors-bad as were the effects discipline in the army, nevertheless it was true that they were Tn fact and in law justified

in a refusal to obey
 There never has been and IS not now any intention. however, of giving outrageous and illegal orders to the troops
 ..The law will be respected and: must be obeyed. What has now to be faced is the possibility of action be- ing required by troops in supporting the civil power in protecting lives and property when the police is unable to hold it's own.
 ftAttempts have been made to dis7 suade the troops from obeying law fuI orders given to them when acting in support of the civil power. These attempts have amounted to the claim that officers and men of the army could pick and choose between law fuI and reasonable orders. saying they would obey in one case and not in an other.
 OFFICERS RESPONSIBLE
 Continuing that there had not been a single case of lack of discipline in this respect in the British army, Col Seely says:
 ssAt the same time as views and statements uttered in the press and elsewhere made the position clear. I informed the general officers that would hold each Of them Individually responsible to see that there was no conduct in their commands subversiye  could let it be clearly understood that any such conduct would be dealt with under the Kings regulations
 eff any army officer should tender his resignation Ttold the generals that they should ask for his reasons and, if he indicated that he desired, to choose which order he would obey, [ would submit to the King that the of ficer should be removed from the army
 This was followed by letter dated March 4 from the war office to Gen era1 Sir Arthur Paget, com mmander-in- chief in Ireland, in which Sir Arthur was informed.
 eIn consequence of reports receiv- ed by the government that attempts may be made in various parts of Ire land bS evil disposed persons to ob- tain possession of arms and ammuni- tion and other government stores it. is considered advisable that you should at once take such special precautions for safeguarding the depots and other places where arms and stores are kept as you may think advisabIef
 t1t appears that Armagh, Omagh, Carrickfergus and Enniskfllen are suf- fciently guarded being specially liable to attack"
 MUST PROTECT BARRACKS.
 Orders also were given to the off, cers in command of barracks where arms and ammunition were stored or located that they would be held re- sponsible for the safety of that propt erty and that such places never should be left inguarded.
 It is pointed out that this order referred to the whole of Ireland.
 General Paget te1egraphed to the war office on March 20 that all the officers of the 5th Royal Irish Lancers~ sta- toned in Dublin had resigned with the ks<~-, <I 1- Hf~-.r ed that the same conditions prevailed among the officers of the 18th Queens Lancers, stationed at the Curragh ana that the men would refuse to move.
 That same evening General Paget |te1egraphed to the war office that the brigadier general and 57 officers of the brigade at Curragh prefer to ac- lcept dismissal if they are ordered to

OF BILL TO SAVE MONEY
To the Amount of More Than.
a Quarter of a Million Dol

MUCH USELESS PRINTING
Declares Senator Smoot and
That It is Going on Is a
Wicked Shame.
ts,se,Al 70 rns rr..a,.s,

WASHINGTON. D. g., July TO-
Senator Chiffon prevented the pass
age by the Senate last night OF a bill
which Senator Smoot implied would
save the government the useless ex.
penditure Of more than $S50.00O q
year.
The Senate was holding night
session for the consideration Of billA
to which there was no objection, with
a view Of speedily disposing Of a
large number Of this class Of legisla-
ton. Among the bills which came
before the Senate was one to amend,
revise and codify the laws relating
to the public printing and binding
and the distribution OF government
publications.
Senator Chiffon, who in the abb
sence Of Senator Fletcher. Is acting
chairman Of the committee on print
ing, Of which Senator Smoot os also
a member, objeded to consideration
Of the bill. Senator Smoot asked II
Senator Chiffon would not withdraw
objection SO far as to permit the bill
at least to be read, but he declined
to do SO. Senator Smoot said: "The
bill provides a saving to the govern
ment Of over S850,000 year. It
means the prevention of the printing
of hundreds OF thousands of useless
documents that are published by the
government and piled up here on tho
warehouse and at the end Of two
years sold as old paper for sixty-fve
cents a. hundred. The useless print
ing that is going on Is wicked
shame. A bill similar to this has
already passed the Senate once ana
1 think it ought to be considered
now"
Senator Chiffon persisted in his
objection and the bill was not con-
sidered.

And They Capture a Track
Walker Who Surprises
Then in Act.
HEAVY SACK OF SILVER
Is Carried off by Them after
They Blow Both Doors
from Express Car Safe.

ST. LOUIS, July 1o.-The two
masked bandits, who held up the
westbound Katy fier" on the Miss
ouri, Kansas and Texas railroad near
Matson, Mo-, sixty miles northwest OF
st. Louis, last night, captured track
walker who surprised them as they
were robbing the train and took him
away with them. This was learned
from members OF the train crew this
morning.
/, The story Of the robbery was told by
"A. L. Mudd, conductor of the train,
and by John Snadley, engineer. The
train, which left here at $3.50 last
night for Texas, stopped at Matson on
the north branch of the Missouri river
at 1875. There the two bandits are
supposed to have got aboard. After
the train had gone short distance
the engineer heard noise behind
him and turning saw a man with two
reyolvers levelled at him. "He told
me to stop the train said the engi-
neer, land / did so. Then he told the
fireman to run back and uncouple the
train between the last express car
and the first passenger car"
TIC AlCiAdh Tue ITdlu
and the bandits forced the engineer
K to run the engine and express cars
! to a point near Klondike on the river
bank. They entered the American
Express Company's car and forced
the messenger, J. G.. Nicholson, to
stand with his face to the wall, while
they blew both doors from the safe.
While this was going on, track
walker, said to be William Christoph-
er, appeared. The robbers made him
prisoner. When the train stopped,
Conductor Mudd and William Glass,
train auditor. got off to learn the
trouble. I'VE were greeted with a
fusillade Of Shots" said Mudd. 1--WE
were told to stay in the coaches. We
stayed In"
Emil Amman, constable at Au-
gusta., Mo-, was one of the first offic-
ers to arrive on the scene. He said
he was told by the train crew that
the bandits carried off sack Of sill
yer weighing fifty pounds and pouch
OF railroad mail.

PRESIDENT DEFLES
FEDERAL SENATE
Or at Least is Trying to Place
the Responsibility on That
August Body.

. n.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 10
President Wilson will make NO nomi-
nation for the federal reserve board
in place of Paul Warburg until the
Senate takes definite action on his
name. Mr.. Wilson expects thus to
place the responsibility on the Senate
for leaving the board incomplete.
That is the presidents position in
HIS fight with the Senate over Mr..
Warburg's nomination as expressed
by officials in his confidence. There
was no chance Of his changing his
mind was stated definitely. Mr..
Warburg has finally decided that he
will not appear before the banking
committee to be cross-examined and
the president is backing him in that
stand. In answer to queries today
whether Mr.. Wilson was making er-
forts to get Mr.. Warburg to appear
before the committee, White House
officials said that any such attempt
would be useless.
The nomination Of Thomas u.
Jones. which the banking committee
has voted to report adversely, is in
a different position. A fight for his
nomination may be soaducted in q
minority report.
