new IRISH HOME
RULE BILL READY
Measure to Be introduced in
Parliament, Says Lon
don Daily News.

LONDON. Oct "A new Irish home
rule bin viii be introduced in par
lament, according to the parliament
tary lobby correspondent OF the Daily
News today.
"a law providing for Irish home
rule was enacted by parliament prior
TO the outbreak OF the war, but did
not become effective.)
Walter Long, former home secre-
tary, has been appointed chairman Of
the cabinet committee that will deal
with the new bill, the Daily News
said.
According to the Daily Graphic, Sir
Edward Carson, leader OF the anti
home rulers In the north Of Ireland,
and Joseph Devlin. leader Of the Irish
natiOnalists, will both be consulted.
Peace with Ireland is urgent, but
Il can only be had with Prof. De
Valera (president OF the Sim Fein
organiEation). and not with Sir Ed
ward Carson" said the Daily Herald,
organ OF the labor party.

Debate on the Shantung amend
ment. which would restore to China
the German control OF the Chinese
province Japan seized during the war,
Is to be resumed today with unmls-
taxable indications that Il would
continue during the rest OF the week.
and probably into next week.
Senator France (Rep) Of Maryland
Is to take up his long speech in oppo-
sition to the treaty, where he left on
when the Senate adjourned yesterday.
He is to be followed by Senator Knute
Nelson (Rep.) Of Minnesota, an advO-
cate Of the League OF Nations, and
Senator David I. Walsh (Dem.) Of
Massachusetts. who, like Senator Hole
Smith of Georgia and other Demo-
cratic Senator'S, openly favors reser-
vations to the treaty.
Walsh has stated that he is so bit
terly opposed to what he termer the
'crime OF ShantunE" that he is pre-
pared to vote for even the Shantung
amendment unless a reservation Is
found to correct it.. He plans to voice
strong opposition to those features Of
the League Of Nations and other pro-
visions Of the treaty which he said he
regarded as highly Objectionable"
and productive Of future wars"
Others Who VIII Speak.
Senator Lodge stated today that he
would deliver an address tomorrow in
opposition to the Shantung settle
ment," while Senators Borah, Of Idaho
and Norris Of Nebraska, both Repub-
licans, also promised denunciation Of
the pact by which the Peace Confer
ence recognized Japan's claim to the
former German cOcessions in Shan
tunE.
Despite the bitter opposition to the
Shantung deal in the Senate, the re-
fusal Of the sO-called mild reserva-
tionists' on the Republican side, as
well as OF many Administration Sena-
tors, to agree to teXtual amendments,
was regarded by Senators on both
sides as foreshadowing the defeat OF
the Shantung. as well as Of all other
amendments.
Such amendments can just as we'll
be covered with reservations. Il was
which Senator Lodge and
his colleagues assert will receive the
undivided support Of the Republican
majority. Senator Penrose declared
again today that nothing could be
gained by squabbling over time-wast-
ng technicaIities when reservations
will do just as well as amendments"

That's the Noise a Man

BE Buys an limo
cent Crock.
Because Everybody KHOIOs What
He Wants It For.

He Wants It For.
Time was when q man could
90 into a store and purchase a
five-gallon earthenWare crock
without any undue notice being
attached to his purchase.
Since July /, last. war time
prohibition has wrought many
changes. And among them Is
the status OF the commonplace,
earthernware, hve-gallon crock,
formerly thought Of as a con-
tainer for pickles, sauerkraut or
salted herring, now used as
Wei, take the case OF Mr.. Smith:
Mr.. Smith goes into q store
and carefully surveys the force
OF clerks. picking therefrom the
most intelligent young man ana
ordering him forward with
motion OF his hand. Leaning
confidently over the counter he
whispers that he desires to pur-
chase q hve-gallon, earthenWare
crock. Whereupon the clerk goes
into fit Of the giggles, and wink
ing, turns to the shelf and Sc
cures the article. wrapping Il up
and handing Il over the counter
to Mr.. Smith with an increased
burble Of suppressed laughter.
Mr.. Smith takes his purchase
and sinks from the store. And
what he does with the crock is
known only to Mrs. Smith and q
few select friends.
In addition there has been an
unprecedented sale OF hve-gallon
earthenWare crooks In the last
few months, and the same has
brought about a dearth OF the re-
ceptacles in the Capital only re-
heved BY large orders from out
Of town manufacturers.
A wholesale dealer IN Washing
ton told q representative Of The
Times today that. although earth
enware crooks OF the lVe-gallOn'
Variety and larger were plentiful
as Carter's liver pills three
months ago, today they are rarer
than a Chinaman with whiskers.
and that the increased demand
has been keeping the manufac-
turer busy as q one-eyed orphan
at a three-ring circus.
What's the answer?
The ave-gallon crock, made Of
earthenWare, IA a perfect con
tainer for certain liquids. IN that

formed therein, and does not in
