BRITAIN FINDS ITSELF
 DISTRACTED BY IRELAND
Status of Emerald Isle Goes Steadi- ly From Bad to Worse Since Sim
 Fein Uprisinq Easter Sunday.

London. July 25.-Apparently the status of Ireland has gone steadily from bad to worse ever since the Sim Fein rising on Easter Sunday, for at present the country is in the hands of a temporary make shift government composed of a commission of judges assisted by Major General Sir John Maxwell, commander of the British forces in Ireland who still is maintaining military control over most of the ordinary police functions.
 There is no vicer0y in the place of Baron Wimborne, former lord lieutenant of Ireland and as Premier Asquith announced that the Dublin Castle system of government was an utter failure, none is likely to be appointed
 The office of Augustine Birrell. ex-chief secretary for Ireland, re- mains thrilled and Herbert Sam uel. the head of the home office, who has no special knowledge of Irish affairs, represents the inter- est of Ireland in the cabinet and before the house of commons.
 Great Britain finds itself at one of the most critical stages of the war again distracted by wranglings over the old problem and with ap- parently no light ahead. The na- tionalist members in the house of commons, who as party thus far have supported the governments war and domestic measures. threat ems to shift their position and be- come an opposition party.
 The position of the nationalists, moreover. is anomalous.

CoLLIDED 5000 FEET IN AIR.
Two French AviatOrs Were glBin.
 iured in Fall Near Pantin.

Paris gby maiD, July 3.-Ser- geants M and W of the French Flying Corps have establisht a new record; their machines col llded at a height of six thousand feet above the suburbs of Pantln, became locked together with the crash. and landed in a tree with part of the wreckage resting upon a network of telegraph wires. and both pilots escaped without a scratch
 Neither of the heroes of this ad- venture was an experienced aviat- or, which perhaps explains the col- llsion, but now they claim to be "vaccinated' and demand the privi- lege of going to the front.
 "Vaeeinated' in aviation parlance means that the pilot has had his inevitable accident and has come out of it all pockets filled with luck.
