consult on the affairs of the kingdom
and to make laws The lawgivers
were class Of druids called Brehons
who acted as magistrates and judges.
They did not hold their courts Of jus
tice In any hall, but seated themselves
on the top Of II hill in the open air,
where they heard all complaints that
were brought before them and decided
every cause according to their own
ideas of right and wrong
The hill of Tara is also famous In
Irish history as the spot on which the
kings were crowned. The throne, or
seat Of Inauguration. was black
stone. which was called Lea Fall, or
the fatal stone. said to have been
brought In the early ages from Spain,

cesorting to submarine warfare. Then
there can be no hesitation in per-
forming the duty. however hard It
may be.
On the other hand, the correspon-
dent adds, many of the south Ger
man clergy regret and disapprove the
latest German determination as not
permissible and hold that other means
of achieving the end desired are not

Of the high church authorities but

CLERGYMEN SPLIT

Many Oppose, Many Favor, At

The Hague, via London, Feb. 8, II
a. m.-The Berlin correspondent of
the German Catholic Tijd of Amster
dam reports today the result of a
series Of conversations he had with
German ecclesiastics on how the
sharpened German submarine war is
reconsilable with Christian doctrine.
The general opinion, he states, is that
the measure is necessity. to which
Germany was regretfully forced by
Great Britain's pitiless methods of
warfare, but the view as to what steps
are permissible and what are not is
divided.
The majority, the correspondent re-
ports, holds to the view of justifca-
tiion through necessity and thinks
the leaders of the nation judge that
Germany is being destroyed and that

NEW TROLLEY STOPS
Rules Expected to Relieve Traffic
CONGESTION

With view of relieving traffic
congestion at Crowells corner and
vicinity, a re-ajustment of trolley
stopping points has been decided upon
following a conference between Frank
L. Beardsley Of the Connecticut COM
pany and Chairman Edward G. Bah
cock of the safety board. The change
was recommended by Traffic Super
visor Clarence Lamphere, who, as
traffic officer, was stationed at the
corner since the inauguration of the
present traffic system. The stop for
east-bound cars will be moved from
in front of Fox's theater to a point
about fifty feet west of the corner and
the stop in front of Rapelye's store
at ESQ Main street, west side, is to
be abolished. From the West Main
street stop to the center there will
be no white poles. This procedure
will be tried for a time in the expec-
tation that it will materially improve
traffic conditions in front of city hall
amt about Crowell's corner.
This is believed to be but one of
several similar changes to be brought
about before the heavy spring and
summer traffic begins.

two matters were reserved for fur
