| DUBLIN, October 1.-THE situation in
ireland has been greatly relieved by the
decision of the government to allow the

Tense of the realm act special privileges
| to distinguish them from ordinary GRIM
inals. They will be allowed greater free
dom as regards interviews, correspond

obtain food outside the prison. They
contended unsuccessfully for this dis
! tinction, both in the English prisons and
/ in Mountjoy. The whole trouble and the
/ hunger strike in Mountjoy. involving the
forcible feeding and death of Thomas
AShe. arose from the strict adherence of
i the prison officials to the ordinary rules
as they were formerly applied in the
case of the suffra gettes.

privy council order which is accepted as
n satisfactory concession. The decision
| is in accordance with Irish sentiment
generally. since all sections of the ma

that a distinction ought to be made be-
tween men convicted of political offenSes

ALLOWS MRS. SAMMONS
SIS WEEKLY ALlMONY

Justice Stafford of the District su-
preme Curt today reconsidered his re-
fusal of temporary alimony to Mrs.
Agnes e. Summons pending the de-
| termination of her suit for maintenance
against William Stokes Summons, a
local manufacturer. The court directed
the husband to pay SIS a week to the
wife and to reimburse her sos for
seven weeks. during which he has not
contributed to her support
Mr.. Sammons raised the question of
the validity of his marriage, claiming
that it was in violation of the District
code because an absolute divorce had
been granted to his former wife
against him. The court at first thought
that as remarriage is forbidden the
new marriage was void, and no tenn
porary relief could be granted to the
wife.
On further reflection the court de-
cided that the plea raised in defense
by the husband, when the wife did not
even know of his previous divorce, was
no bar to an. order for maintenance
pending a decision of the court on the
merits or the petition and defense.
Attorneys George C. Gertman and Gus
a. schuldt represented the wife. At
torneys A. L. Newmyer and Hayden
Johnson appeared for tho husband.

SYMPATHY FOR FRANCE
Writes Preface for Speeches Made in

Cablegram to The Evening Star and

PARIS. France. October 5.-M. Henri
Bergson. the illustrious philosopher.
has written preface to the speeches
made in America by the former French
premier, Rene Fiviani. which have just
appeared in pamphlet form. NJ. Berg
son says he was present during Nivi-
ani's visit to the United States and
witnessed the enthusiastic reception
given him by the American people. He
describes the manner in which the au
diences, not understanding French,
sought. by the rhythmic note of gen
eral emotion, to grasp the ideas of the
great orator. NJ. Bergson further ex-
plains why France and the United
States, while defending their rights
and independence with those of other
nations. should rise together against
the common enemy of mankind.

made by France throughout three years
in the cause of liberty and civilization.
This beauty, this heroism and this
sublimity were deeply underlined by
Rene Viviani. His speeches will ever
be inseparable from the memory of the
days when America rose in arms. Their
place is marked in history"

PRESERVATION OF LIBERTY.

Taking up Arms. Jefferson said: I'VE
do then most solemnly. before God. and
the world declare, that regardless of ev-
cry consequence at the risk Of every dis
tress, the arms we have been compelled
to assume we will use with persever-
ance. exerting to their utmost energies
all those powers which our Creator hath
given us, to preserve that liberty which
He committed to us in sacred deposit
and to protect from every hostile hand
our lives and our properties"
In 1890 Jefferson said: The ground
of liberty is to be gained by inches and
we must be contented to secure what we
can get. from time to time. and eternal
ly press forward for what is yet to get.
1t takes time to persuade men to do
even what is for their own good"
