the probability that Great Britain s

KING GEORGE PRAISES
co TO IRISH REGIMENT
Queen Presents Each Soldier With a
Sprig of Sham
rock.

LONDON. March 1S.-king George ac-
companied Queen Mary yesterday to the
headquarters of the Irish Guards. where
the queen presented each officer and
soldier with a sprig of shamrock. The
king paid high tribute to this Irish
regiment. which was created by Queen
Victoria to commemorate the heroism
of Irish egiments in the South African
war.
BY splendid achievements in your
first campaign" said the king, YOU
have proved yourselves worthy of this
proud tribute. and have maintained the
high traditions of my brigade of
guards. ] gratefully remember the
heroic entrance of the first battalion
in the arduous retreat from Mons, and
again at Ypres on that critical Novem-
Der 10, when Lord Cavan, your brigad der.
wrote that those who were left showed
the enemy that the Irish Guards must
be reckoned with.
After twenty-eight DAYS of inces-
SAINT fighting against heavy odds your
battalion came out of the line less
than company strong. with only four
officers, glorious tribute to Irish
loyalty and endurance.
Regrets Heavy Losses.
The king referred to his presentation
of the Victoria cross to Lance Corp.
(now LIEUT. Michael OLeary. the first
Irishman to win that distinction. Elk
pressing regret for the heavy losses
suffered by the regiment. he called at
tention to the fact that three command
ing officers had been killed.
John Redmond was present and had
a long conversation with the king and
queen. The queen presented a sprig of
shamrock to Mr.. Redmond.

T|RP|Tz RESIGNATION
NOT GREAT SENSATION
Majority of People Seem to Have
Confidence in Govern
ment.

BERLIN, March 1S.-The retirement
of Admiral Won Tirpitz as minister of
marine occasioned a much smaller
sensation than might have been ex-
pected in view of the long and bril-
liant service of the creator of the Ger
man navy.
A great ma jority of the Germans OBJ
viously have full confidence in the gov
ernment's course, despite the fact that
no reasons have been made public for
the grand admiraTs resignation and no
mention was even made of his illness
in the official announcement. The
Taglische Rundschau regrets deeply its
inability to comment on the resigna-
ton of the grand admiral. but says
this will only be possible after the war.
Won Reventlow Comment.
Count Won Reventlow in the Tages
Zeitung speaks OF the tendency ito
deal out to the departing state secre-
tary the well known kici. of
the not unknown gray animal" He
defends Admiral Won Tirpitz against
the charge of neglecting the sub
marines. and declares that Won Tirpitz
was the first to see that Germany's in
dependence Of Great Britain depended
on her sea power. Count Reventlow
finds comfort in the reflection that even
without Won TirpitZ this. his great idea,
is still alive in the German people and
will remain 50.
Die Post publishes review of the
life of Themistocles. his creation of the
Athenian fleet and his Punishment after
he had saved his country. The article
does not mention Won TirpitZ's name
nor Germany, but the implication is
plain.
National Liberal Message.
The national liberal group in the
reichstag decided to introduce at this
session its measure calling for the
carrying on of submarine war The
national liberals sent the following
message to Admiral Won TirpitZ:
I'VE are deeply moved by the news
of the retirement of your excellency
in the present difficult time. We send
TO the creator of our navy and the
father of the German naval spirit as
surances of the truest and most thank
full devotion"

NAVY LEAGUE SUGGESTS
DEFENSE COMMISSION
Says Any Ten Men of Judicial
Minds Could Settle Prepared
ness Problems.

The Navy League of the United
States today made public a statement
in which it is declared that any ten
men of judicial minds and sufficiently
ability would form a satisfactory body
to pass upon the problems of national
defense which now confront the nation.
This assertion, the statement says, is
made. to empha size the necessity for a
national defense commission. which
the league believes should be the pr;-
mary object of the present nation wide
agitation for military and naval pre-
paredness"

Employment After the War.

Questioned whether the board of
trade had laid plans to find employ
ment for the great number of men who
will be released from the army after
the war, Mr.. Runciman said this vital
question already was under considera-
ton. and steps were being taken to
meet the situation. That there would
be some unemployment he did not
doubt: but he believed that a satisfac-
tory solution fthe situation would be
found.
"On the return of peace said Mr..
Runciman. the men will leave the
army gradually. There will be n dis
appearance of overtime work and a re-
duction in the number of hours of work
will call for the employment of more
people. A great number of the men
will go back to coal mining. and there
will be considerable demand for labor
in the export trade. The whole ques
ton hinges largely on the restoration
of our export trade and tonnage to
cope with it,
Mr. Runcimsn said that under the di-
luton scheme there would be restitu-
ton of their old places to men who
had served at the front. Labor he
added, would find itself in much the
same position at the end of the war s
obtained before the conflict began. No
attempt would be made to take adj
vantage of those who had temporarily
waived their rights in order to fight
for their country.

Quotation From Statement.

The statement continues. in part:
The Navy League is so confident that
the countrys needs in the way of pre-
paredness would become perfectly OBJ
vious to an intelligent student of the
situation that it would be glad to see
the appointment of Il defense commits
sion, not necessarily composed of ex-
perts. but made up of any ten men of
standing and ability who could be got
together from any section of the coun-
try.
Endorsements by many orSaniZa-
tions. defense and other kinds, conven-
tions and individuals everywhere as
well. have been given to the prelimi-
nary plan of the leagues national con-
vention, which is to be held in Wash
ington April 1913, to focus public at
tention on the necessity for creating A
national defense commission as the
logical first step to rescue the coun-
try from unpreparedness, and at the
same time preclude the dangers of
militia rism.

LONDON, March ia far-reachinS
order in council, which will prohibit
totally importation into the United
Kingdom of a large number of articles
which come under the general heading
of luXuries. will be issued by the Brit
ish government at an early date.
Among the things which will be
placed under the ban will be automo-
biles for private use, musical instru-
ments, cutlery of all kinds. hardware.
yarns. chinaware. fancy goods and
soaps. The order will apply equally
to all countries, including the British
dominions and colonies.
This forecast of the coming order in
council was given to the Associated
Press in an interview by Walter Runci-
man. president of the board of trade.
addition to those named would be
placed on the list of prohibited I'M
ports, but in advance of the issuance
of the order he declined to say what
they are.
To Treat AL Alike.
He agreed that the decree would
have considerable effect on exports
from the United States, butt pointed
out that it applied to all countries alike
and declared it was absolutely neces-
sary to limit the shipment of bulky
Injuries in order to provide room on
ships for necessaries
But please remember said Mr.
Runciman, that the issuance of this
order is forced on the country-not as
a matter of policy. but entirely be-
cause of shortage in tonnage. We
want exports from the United States
we want your wheat. cotton and meat
and we need other things which we
cannot get if the space aboard vessels
Is taken up with Injuries.
Everything possible is being done
to relieve the shortage in ships Every
ship flying the British flag is now con-
trolled by the government. Immense
numbers of them have been reNuisi.
toned; others are subject to direction
by way of licenses. Whether it will
be necessary to requisition more yes.
sells l cannot say; but for my own part
l hope this will not be done"
Mr.. Runciman said the importation
of some fresh fruits probably would
be prohibited later, but he pointed out
that this would affect the United States
only slightly.
