Then, jry, before size reached them. she

caught Peggy and turned her over and over
in series Of unc Xpectcd but graceful someF-

"Dance with me-" cried Peggy. as size
recovered her balance. She held out one hanc
to Blooey and one to BlI@"y With roar
and n whistle they caught hold of her. and
away they swished in rolhcking. rolsterous
dance 1t was fun, jolly fun. All Peggy =
fear Of the Giants was gone, IheN We're
more than ever like big, careless boys.
After the fl; st whirl OF the dance. Peggy
became aware that they were f"ollcking to
muse lively jlnGiT music that carried them
along in graceful dips and whirls Stealing a
gluncr backward, she saw that the music
came from a huge orchestra OF Frigds VII"
were tn,ling away to beat the band
As this orchestra played, other Frig Dis were
working with frantic haste repairing the
dungeon from which Bloocy and Bltz2y had
burst to hurl their blizzard upon the earth.
Beside the door 10 the dungeon stoou queen
t'rvstaL waving ager signals at Peggy. The
Queen Of the Shows pointed at the Giants ant;
then at thu. danger Peggy quickly caught
her meaning The Queen wanted the Giants
back in the dungeon. Peggy wondered II she
could get them there.
Sine tried several times to dance that way,
hut lust as she would get near it, either
Blooey or BliZZy would whirl her away.
Finally Peggy tried strategy Letting go the
Giants hands, she danced ahead of them.
"Eollow me :" she cried. AS they rushed
aft,r her. she darted straight in;o tn.
dungeon. The Giants never paused but danCec
right in behind her. At once the Frlgids
slammed the door shut, and there the Giants
were prisoners, Peggy couldn't stop n giggle
il was such a good joke on the Giants.
Blooey and BllEzy had danced themselves
out of breath. All the stored-up force they
were going to put into the blizzard was gone
But they didn't seem to mind It,
That was more fun than I've had sine,

A DIVISION IN IRISH FORCES
Nationalist and Sim Feiners at the
Breaking Point-piot Aatched
In United States.

London, May PA Dublin dis
patch TO the Daily News today said
that the Irish Nationalists will re-
turn to Parliament next week.
The Times Dublin correspondent
declared that the relations between
the Sim Feiners and the National.
lists are so strained almost to the
breaking point.
Washington, D. c., May 22.-Evi-
denee of plotting between German
and Irish agents in this country for
an uprising in Ireland has been un-
covered by United States government
agents and is partly responsible for
the recent arrest of Irish leaders by
the British government.
This evidence, which may be made
public soon. is understood to show
definitely that Irish leaders, mainly
Sim Fein sympathizers in the Unit
ed States. have been in touch with
German representatives who agree tc
furnish money to finance rebellion
in Ireland and possibly to send arms
and ammunition to Ireland by sub
marines or blockade runners.
There was even SOME discussion O
the chances of sending German sol
diers to take part in warfare on Irisl
| soil.

ASKS CONGRESS
FOR MORE MONEY
PRESIDENT REGARDS TAX BILL
AS A NECESSITY.
ADJOURNMENT TO Be DELAYED
Administration Program for Addition
al Revenue Finds Small Favor
With Legislators. Navy, Too,
Wants Appropriation.

\ washington, May 22. ~ President
Wilson regards tax bill necessary al
this session of congress.
1t was officially learned today that
Secretary McAdoo in conference
with President Wilson yesterday, won
the executives approval of the propos-
ed new revenue measure.
The decision of the President to sup
port McAdoo's contention of the tax
measure at this session means the op.
ening of work on the measure by both
the house and the senate committees,
and delay in the adjournment of the
session
Congress May Recess.
Congressional leaders believe that
Congress will probably recess from
time to time. while the committees
work. thus enabling the Senators and
the Representatives to get back home
for the pre-campaigning and for the
same time be on hand when the time
comes for consideration of the meas
ure.
There is distinct differences of the
opinion of President Wilson's cabinet
regarding the needs for tax bill at
this session. Postmaster Burleson has
already opposed the proposed act.
Storm of Protest Follows.
Secretary McAdoo today was work
ing on the preparation of figures to
submit them to the Congressional fl
nancial leaders.
Word today that the President
would be the breaking out of storm
of disapproval from both sides of the
house
Majority Leader Kitchen said that
McAdoo did not even have single
good reason for a revenue bill this
season and that should one be formed
Congress would stand her grounds on
what went into it.
The Aircraft Inquiry
Washington, May %. - Senator
Thompson of Kansas announced this
afternoon that new compromise has
been practically agreed on between
the administration forces and the sup
porters of a Senate air craft inquiry.
Thompson hastily summoned the
committee on audit and control to rati
fy the compromise should it go
through and thus avert sharp fight
in the Senate.
More Money for Navy
Washington, May 22.-Additional re-
quests for navy appropriations Curing
the next fiscal year totalling $50, l65,
$50 were submitted to congress by Sec
Rotary Daniels this afternoon.
Daniels request included eleven mil
lion for the construction and equip
ping of training camps and five million

and the testing of shells,

HOLLAND IS NOT SATISFIED
ton of Seizure of Ships BY This
Government.

Washington, May 22.-Answering
the Americans reply to the Dutch ship
seizure Holland has informed the
State Department that she regards as
insufficient the explanation made by
this government.
The inference is left that she has
invited correspondence to clear up the
misunderstanding between the United
States and Holland over the requisi-
tioning of the Dutch shipping.
Holland has been notified by the
United States government that its
request for three ships now in Amer.
lean ports to carry the balance of the
grain promised it by President Wilson
cannot be granted. and that to pre-,
vent further delay in the movement OF
the grain Dutch ships should be sent
for ii at once.
The fact that this step had been
taken became known today soon after
the receipt of press dispatches an.
Inouncing that the Netherlands govern
ment had prohibited the departure OF
Dutch ships from its ports. Officials
were at loss to understand the mean
ing of Hollands action, though it was
assumed that the attitude of Germany
was responsible.
More than 100000 tons of Dutch
shipping are idle in Holland ports, ac
cording to information in the posses
sion. of the state department. 1t is
from this fleet of tied-Gp tonnage that
the war trade board holds the ships
necessary to transport the grain must
be taken.
