MEASURES TAKEN IN
IRELAND HAVE HAD
WONDERFUL EFFECT

London. March 4-Nothing has
been reported from Ireland in the
last few days which would suggest
that the visit of Viscount French,
commander of home forces, to Coun-
ty Glare is due to any increase in
the trouble in County Clare or else
where. On the contrary recent re-
ports have been that the special
measures taken in County Clare had
a remarkably calming effect and al
though the cause of the trouble
have not disappeared, the disturbing
elements have been unusually quiet
since the troops were called to assist
the police.

HOUSE KILLS
BOND SURTAX
Passes Bill Exempting In,
dividual Holdings Up
to $4,000.

BY unanimous vote yesterday the
House passed the bill TO exempt from
income surtaxes all Individual hold
ings OF the Fourth Liberty Loan bonds
up to $4,000 The vote on passage OF
the bill was 149 to o. The Senate is
expected to pass the bill early next
week.
The entire day was given over to
the debate on the bill. Several amend
ments were adopted, one of which
limits the authority OF the Secretary
Of the Treasury in the matter OF
stabilizing foreign exchange to the
period OF two years after the war:
another amendment removed the re-
strIction on the sale OF war savings
certificates so that more than 500
may be sold at one time to one
purchaser.
The only signs OF hostility to the
bill developed over the provision
which gives the President authority
to Investigate, regulate or prohibit
transactions in bonds or certificates
of Indebtedness" Representative
Committee on Banking. objected
vigorously to this provision. He de-
clared it would make 1t impossible fol
the holders of liberty bonds to dis
pose of them when it became neces-
sary to raise money. He said enforce
ment of the provision would mean
confscation of private property. that
1t would be an extraordinary grant
OF power to the President and that
such power over the individual bond
holders Is not necessary.
Mr.. Hayes offered an amendment
to strike out the provision authoriZ-
ing the prohibition of the sale OF
bonds. He won by the close vote of
81 to 50 while the House was sitting
in Committee of the Whole.
Later the House reversed this ac-
tion after a strong speech by Chair
man Kitchin, the language stricken
out on Hayes motion being restored
to the bill by the vote of 116 to 81.
Mr.. Kitchin declared that there are
syndiCates in certain parts of the
United States trying to buy UP lib
erty bonds of all issues for the pur-
Pcse of dumping them on the mar
ket. even at less than was paid for
them, so as to force down the price
Of the bonds and compel the govern
ment to increase the interest rate on
all its bonds to 5, s or even 7 per cent

RADICAL CHANGE In
TERMS OF COLLEGES
War Emergency Requires an All.
Year Course.

A radical change has been made
in the college year to meet the war
emergency of training soldiers in
collegiate schools. The two-term
system is to be replaced by an ALL
year course divided into terms Of
three months duration. The War
Department, through the Committee
on Education and Special Training,
Is now contracting with the COL
leges which have been accepted for
units of the Students Army Train
ing Corps for nine months of asa-
demic work for the student soldiers.
Each college will furnish, with
the allied academic subjects. also a
war aims course dealing with the
underlying issues of the war. This
may be a definite course similar to
the course already esta blished in
the vocational section of the S. A.

accomplished by classes in history.

PRICE
NOW PROBABLE
White House Indicates Gov
ernment Regulation Of
the Staple.

Cotton prices are likely to be fixed
within the near future.
This was plainly indicated in a
statement from the White House yes
terday explaining the necessity for
securing a basis of distribution OF all
grades Of cotton.
A committee to be approved by the
President will recommend prices, and
II, after investigation. It is found
necessary. a fair price will be fixed,
the President says.
President's Statement.
TO avoid misinterpretation Of the
statement made concerning the sta
bilization Of the cotton industry. the
President authorizes the following:
The demand for high grade cotton
which Is out Of proportion to the
available supply. and the fact that the
Government, through early agree
nients with the allies. must act as a
common buyer for allied purchases,
make II necessary to secure some
basis of distribution of all grades of
cotton. Based on the standard grades
established by the Department of
Agriculture, an effort will be made
to provide way by which the low
grade cotton will be brought to sale
and use along with the high grade
cotton at reasonable and Just prices.
1T is believed that by this course,
both the producer and consumer will
be better protected than by continue
ton of the present chaotic conditions
of the market
The plan Is to create. subject to
the approval of the President, a cot
ton committee to devise methods for
ta) broadening the channels of dis
tribution and use OF the great stock
of low grades now practically un-
marketable, (b) eliminating specula-
tion and boarding. and Ic) apportion-
ing the foreign orders.
1T may be part of this committee )
duty to recommend basic prices on
cotton. II. after investigation. it is
found necessary. a fair price will be
fixed.
During this investigation. and IN
order to avoid stagnation, a separate
committee of three is being set up
with authority to buy cotton for the
use OF the United States government
and the allies, at prices to be ap-
proved by the President"

PUBLISHERS ORDERED
TO CEASE GUARANTEE
Advertisers Must Accept Sworn
Statement of Circulation.

Printing Of newspapers and periodi-
Gals, not called for by legitimate cir
culation, has been prohibited by a
ruling to all newspapers and periodi-
Gals by the War Industries Board.
which states:
Discontinue selling advertising
with a guarantee of circulation re-
quiring a rebate If circulation falls
below guaranteed amount"
This statement has been made by
Thomas E. Donnelley. chief of the
pulp and paper section of the War
Industries Board, to prevent copies
of newspapers and periodicals being
printed by the publisher and circu-
lated by forced means in order to
make good a circulation guarantee to
the advertiser.
The statement adds, however, that
there Is nothing in the regulations
to prevent the publisher from making
sworn statement of past circula-
ton. but that future circulation cam
not be guaranteed. An inflated cir
culation is regarded by the Indus
tries Board as a waste OF paper
which must be stopped during the
war.

fine itself to civil service questions
but launched into a broad field OF
activities dealing with the expected

resolutions creating special commit

delegates declared % that the gov

% the returning soldiers and sailors
but to civilians. also, the opportunity
