Gen. Sibert Becomes
Gas Director of Army
(Sp.c'al Dispatch to The Tribumc)

WASHINGTON, May 3O.-Major Cen
eral William l.. Sibert was named to-
day by Secretary of War Baker as di-
rector of gas service for the American
army. The creation of this new de-
partment was made necessary because
Of the very important part that gas is
playing in the present war. General
Sibert, who served under General
Pershing for several months. made a
special study of offensive and defen-
sive gases. He has been selected by
Secretary Baker to have complete con-
troll of all the government agencies
that have to do with providing gas for
use by the fighting forces.
1t is the intention of the War De-
partment to have one central organiza-
tion to which the branches of the gov
ernment involved in making gas and
providing defensive measures will be
responsible. Some of these are the
engineer, ordnance and medical corps.
1t is expected that under General ST.
bert the army's gas service will be
made more cooperative, in order to
obtain the maximum production.

Unrest i'm Ireland
Fast Disappearing

LONDON, May 30.-With the recent
changes in the government in Ireland
and the arrest Of Sim Fein leaders, the
parliamentary correspondent of "The
Daily Telegraph" says he understands,
the British government considers it de-
sirable to refrain from pressing for
ward at this time anything calculated
to produce disturbance. A more set
tied feeling prevails in Ireland, and it
is hoped the improvement will grow in
every direction.
The Irish Home Rule bill is not ex-
pected to be ready for introduction for
few weeks, and until then conscrip-
tion will remain in abeyance. This is
believed to be the policy in which the
Lord Lieutenant and Jthe Chief Score
tary are in. agreement with Walter
Hume Long, Secretary TO-: the Colonies
and the War Cabinet.
Ireland seems to be settling down in
wonderful manner, despite the short
time the new regime has been in exist
ence, continues the correspondent, who
