1o6-Asquith Urges Settlement
of Question.

London, July 30.-The debate in the
house of commons on the Irish ques-
ton ended in the defeat of the Irish
adherents. The motion of John Dillon,
nationalist leader, condemning the gov
ernment's Irish policy, was rejected by
a vote of PAS to 106.
Mr.. billions suggestion that the
question of Ireland be referred to
President Wilson was we'll received by
the house, but as former Premier AS

pected that the president of the Unit
ed States would undertake such an
arduous task at this time, and the
matter was obviously one which the
British people would have to settle
themselves.

PACIFlST ATKINSON Is
SENT TO u. S. PRISON
First Given Life Term, Sentence Is
Reduced to Fifteen Years
Imprisonment.

Rockford, ILL.,, July 3O.-Brent DOW
Atkinson left for Fort LeavenwOrth prls-
on to serve a 15-year sentence. he
was found guilty by court-martiai
at Camp Grant of resisting the United
States army draft. He was originally
sentenced for life. This sentence, how
ever was committed to Is years. Col.
Charles r. Rowland of the Three Hun
dred and Forty-third infantry presided
as president of the court-martial.
The sentencing of Atkinson, pacitist,
theorist, advanced thinker" and ego
fist, came as the conclusion to some
six months. of dubious publicity given
the collegian. His case attracted at
tention in Chicago, first because of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. T. w. Allinson
head of the Henry Booth Settlement
House. His eccentricities were re-
garded originally as the theoretical va
porings of a misguided youth. Allin-
sons persistence, however, in defy
ing" the theories of the war soon
placed more serious light on it.

2 MILLION AN HOUR ON WAR
About $5o,ooo,0oo Day,
Says Report.

Washington, Aug. 1.-America's war
expenses now are running about 90 per
cent higher than those of Great Brit
ain, it was shown by comparison OF
treasury reports and a newly issued
British financial statement. Owing to
the shorter time the United States has
been in the war, however, the national
war debt is only one-third as large as
that of Great Britain and the lndi-
vidual burden of taxation in this coun-
try is only about one-half as much as
1t is in England.
The United States is spending about
S5O,OOO,OOO day, or more than $1,000
600 an hour. The nations war debt is
now little less than So, 800, 100000 as
compared with Great Britain's $780,

RAILWAY men ARE
WARNED BY NJ ADO0
Best Work and No Strikes Ex-
pected by Nation.
LABOR UNTIL WAR is OVER
All Employees Called Upon to Do
Their Utmost, and to Expose Slack
ers-Must Earn Wages Al
lowed by Government.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Railway en-
ployees were told by Director General
McAdOO, in announcing details OF the
wage increase for more than 100000
shopmen, that the nation expected new
energy from the workers in return for
any increases and Improvements in
conditions and that strikes and other
labor disturbances must be eliminated.
''In reaching the conclusions upon
which this order is based" said Mr..
McAdoo, Il have been keenly conscious
not alone of the interests of the large
number of railway employees who are
greatly benefited thereby, but also OF
my solemn duty to the American peo-
pie to see to it that the trust they have
committed to me is discharged faith
fully with justice to them.
"No right decision can be made
which considers only the demands and
interests of any class of men apart
from the paramount interest of the
public and the supreme necessity OF
winning this war.
Must Earn Higher Wages.
"Now that the decision has been
made, the American people, whose ser
wants we all are, expect every rail-
road employee to devote himself with
new energy to his work, and by faith
full and efficient service to Justify the
large increases of pay and the improve
ment in working conditions hereby
granted. The American people have
a right to expect this and they will be
content with nothing less.
ut is of the utmost Importance that
the output of railroad shops shall be
greatly increased. Unless this is done
the fighting power of our armies in
France and of our navies on the seas
will be seriously impaired.
81 am proud of the loyal service the
great body of railroad men have rem
dered to their government since the
railroads have come under federal con-
troll. But there are instances where
agitations and disturbances have been
extremely hurtful to the country.
1.-THE loyal and patriotic employees
can render powerful service to their
country by exposing any who may be-
come slackers in their work, by CO.
operating in the enforcement of dis
cipline and by increasing to the utmost
limit the output of locomotives and
cars so essential to the success of our
armies in the field. 1 count on the
patriotism of every true American en-
gagged in the railway service"
Would Crowd Trains.
One cent fare for all soldiers on
leave will probably not be established,
railroad administration officials said.
1t is believed this would result in
crowding trains in camp districts be-
yond the limits of ability of passenger
resources.
A rate of l cent mile is now given
soldiers ON furlough with special certi-
ficates from commanding officer. Near
ly 100000 application blanks for this
rate have been issued, and military au-
thoritieS have asked for more.

GENERAL MARCH TO
COMMAND ARMY
New Regulations Planned for U.
S. Forces.
INSIGNIA OF UNITS CHANGED
All of Uncle Sans Forces VIII Here
after Be Designated Solely as the
ARMY of the United
States"

Washington, July 31.-The war de-
partment will drop all insignia and all
regulations which up 20 the present
time have led to the consideration OF
the American army as being composed
of regulars, National Army men and
National Guard units. In the future
all forces will be designated solely as
numerical units of 'the army of the
United States"
The new plan, worked out by Secre-
tary of War Baker and the general
staff, will insure greater solidarity in
the administration of the nations
fighting forces The only divisions
under the general definition of the
army will be the expeditionary forces
in France and the eXpeditionary forces
which may be formed in Italy and the
far East.
March in Command.
General March, as chief of staff, will
be in command of the army of the
United States. Under military regu-
lations he is chief of staff to the Sec
rotary of war or to the president OF
the United States. Under the present
policy of the president he is acting I'M
der the secretary of war. The presl-
dent is commonder in chief OF the
United States army and navy.
General Pershing, as commander of
ths forces in France, is ranked by
General MASEh, but under present in
terpretations ranks General Bliss,
Americas representative in the council
of Versailles. With the announcement
of the modified regulations it is under
stood that changes will be inaugurated
in the insignia worn by all men in the
army. of the United States.
Will Aid Men Abroad.
Up to the present time men of the
regular army have worn the simple
"U. S." on the collars of their tunicS.
Other members have had the letter
IN. G." or IN. A" superimposed upon
the larger letters ~. S." In the flu
ture, it is said unofficially, all men in
the army will wear the simple letters
~. S." 1t is said that the change will
greatly aid officers and men abroad,
who have felt that members of the old
regular army were often inclined to
distrust the ability of the army's new
er men.
