SH|PBU|LDING TO
Be DEVELOPED IN
SOUTH IRELAND

Dublin, Feb. 20-The development
of aircraft factories and shipyards in
Ireland this spring is expected to
open up a new industrial era in many
sections of the country. Lack of ia
cilities for technical training in the
south of Ireland has been a long
standing problem which the new
yards and factories will help to solve
For the present, the business of
airplane manufacture will be carried
on in existing buildings that are being
placed at the disposal of the govern
ment, but as rapidly as possible new
factories of the most up-to-date type
will be erected. The development is
not intended to be merely of temper
airy character.
Flight stations and training depots
which are being erected in various
parts of the island are permanent
structures, as it is believed that Ire
land from its geogra DhicaI position,
will have an important share in the
postwar commercial development OF
| aviation. 1t will be the gateway for
every attempt at transatlantic flight,
attem pts which are expected to be
| fosterbd and encouraged by the gov.
| ernm snts of both the United States
| and Great Britain.
Shpbuilding will center in Dublin
and Cork Efforts are being made to
secure national shipyard for Dub
lin which will also be the site of the
largest of the aircraft factories, en-
! ploying 1000 skilled men and 1000
girls. The minimum wage paid to
women workers in the aircraft fac
tories. it is announced will be $3.50
a week, which is about three times
the average wage paid to women al
present, except in munition works.

MONTANA WILL
DIG OWN COAI.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-Two states,
Texas and Montana, notified the fuel
administration today that they would
take care of their own coal needs for
the reminder of the war, although the
production of neither heretofore has
been sufficient to meet all require
ments. Their intention is TO increase
their output to the point where they
can do without shipments from the
outside.
The Montana state fuel administra-
tor will issue instructions that the
people must put aside their hard ocal
burners and use the soft coal pro
duced at home. Heretofore the state,
which burns annually about 5,5OO,OOO
/ tons of coal. has bought from produc.
ers in other states slightly more Jnan
100000 tons.

No higher tribute could have been
paid 'fBirds of Prey" the offering of
the Poll Players at the Lyric this

best plays ever presented in Bridge
port, worthy of the capable manner
with which this splendid cast Iior-
trayed the authors ideas

of the West, the dashing manner and
go of the East, Birds of Prey" is a
true picture of those lines of Kip
lng-''For the East is East and the
West is West, and never the twain
shall meet

few authors have the nerve to use,
Birds of Prey is a play that the
young and old Should see.

BOOBIES ADMIT
 SUBS FAIL IN
 EFFECTIVENESS

LONDON, June 20.--Captain Per sius, leading German authority, who is naval critic for the Berlin Tageblatt, in a statement made to- day virtually admits that the Ger man submarine is not equal to the war that the allies are waging against them. Much concern has been manifested in Berlin over the enormous damage being done to the submarines by the allied patrol and merchant boats. Persus says that these losses are unavoidable and the people must expect it. The reason given for the large number being sunk is that the defense measures of the allies are continually increas- ing in effectiveness, while the per fecting of the undersea boats has limit.

LONDON, June 20.-Messages have been received from private sources in Stockholm telling of peace riots that have been held recently in several important German cities. namely, Berlin, Hamburg and Co logne.

In fact, soldiers had to be called to the assistance of the police in order to stop the demonstrations and dis perse the wild crowds of ,naddened people.

TRAVELLING MEN ARE ARRESTED
 BY OFFICIALS

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 2O.-- A number of Western Union travel ing men were arrested and taken from the trains which were run ing between Boston, New York, Phil adelphia and Washington. Their suit cases were seized and from them were taken large number of filed messages. The messages had been filed at their respective cities for transmission by telegraph and were being carried to their des- tination by this means. This prac- tice is a distinct violation of the federal postal laws, which prohibit a person who is not connected with the postal service from conducting traffic communications over post roads.
 Recently the Western Union Tele graph company made very careful investigation of it's employees and as result locked out its union ope- rators, because of the sending of messages by mail. Investigation dis closed the fact that this practice had been going on for some time. Much feeling was worked up at the time that these men were locked out, but it now appears that it was necessary and entirely justified All information was turned over to the federal officials, and some of it was used in the disclosure made by them.

 TRUST OF LAPS
 IN ASIA DRIVE

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 20 Senator Sherman of Illinois in a rousing speech fayed those who do not trust Japan. He says that the United States must trust them and, further, to ask them to make a drive through Asia at any government that may threaten them. Further, he said that the senate and the ad- ministration must take the responsi- bility of giving it to them. He fears that further delay will be fatal, as the Germans are now threaten ing them. She is particularly afraid of Germanized Russia and is anxious to enter Siberia. Besides not desiring to go contrary to the wishes of the United States she desires to receive aid from all of the allied nations. Their leaders deem it too big project to under. take alone.
