ISLAND POSSESSIONS
DEMAND FARM LOANS

Washington, Oct T. - Indications
that an effort will be made at the
forthcoming session of congress to ex-
tend the federal farm loan act to the
island possessions of the United States
and to Alaska was given in a petition
filed with the federal farm loan board
by Edwin c. Moore of Hawaii.
The petition asserts that the need
for the law is greater in Hawaii than
in the United States that the Ha-
waiian farmers are suffering from ex-
cessive interest rates, short time
loans and disinclination of the banks
to make farm loans at all.
IL also stated that as the land is
almost wholly agricultural, an exten-
sion of the act to it would aid greatly
in its Americanization, through the
success of the citizen farmer"

Addresses Constituents.
COUNTRY MUST STAY SANE
Declares Recent Rebellion, With All
Its Inevitable Aftermath of Brutal
ties, Cannot Have Any Deterrent
Effect on Final Result.

Waterford, Ireland, Oct Tn a
notable address to his constituents
here John Redmond, Irish Nationalist
leader in parliament, declared that
despite the recent rebellion, with all
its inevitable aftermath of brutalities,
stupidities and infiamed passions, -
home rule for Ireland is safe if Ire
land remains sane.
Mr.. Redmond also said conscription
could never be forced on Ireland, add
ing:
Il cannot bring myself to believe
that, malign though the influences al
work are. the government will be in
sane enough to challenge a conflict
with Ireland on this subject
"Conscription for Ireland, far from
helping the army and the war, would
be the most fatal thing that could
happen
1T would be resisted i'm every vii
lage in Ireland Its attempted enforce
ment would be scandal which woulC
ring round the world 1t woulC
produce no additional men"
Continuing, the Irish parliamentary
leader said
The mere threat Is paralyzing re
cruiting. which. mark you. is not dea d
as some people say The latest 3
ares. indeed. show that from the dS {
the rising Easter Sunday unit
: ptember 5000 recruits were re
ceived.

no a genuine military demand 1t i;
base political device put forward by
men who want to iniure and discredi

Deadlock Tighter in Dispute
Affecting New York.
EXTRA POLICE ON DUTY
Women Swarm Supply Depots, but
Presence of Many Officers Prevents
tiuation of the Situation

New York, Oct. THE continuance
of the deadlock between New York
milk distributors and farmers result
ed in a still more serious situation in
respect TO the milk supply.
Morning deliveries were still fur
ther diminished and many thousands
of persons were unable to procure
milk at all.
To prevent a recurrence of the
scenes on the Upper East Side, when
hundreds of women stormed milk de-
pots, extra details of police were on
duty. Women again swarmed to the
depOts, soon exhausting the supplies,
but there was no disorder.
A difference only as to the length
of contracts to be given by the dis
tributors to the farmers existed when
the state opened its investigation of
the deadlock
Complaints filed with the attorney
general by each side of the contro-
versy against the other, charging vio-
lation of the state antitrust act, were
taken up first at the state inquiry.
Charges filed by the distributing
companies allege that the dairymen' S
