IRISH INDEPENDENCE
 STILL LIVE ISSUE

Washington, June 23.-(Specia1) The resolution of the Senate urging the peace delegates in Paris to consider with favorable aspect the question of Irish independence, is still one of the livest issues For 1t has strained the rela tions of England and the United States-not to the breaking point, but to the point wherein the one, in official sense, doesn't care to associate with the other.
 Efforts have been made to cause the incident to be forgotten. Because of the possibility that it would breed mis- chief, the Senate denied itself the right to discuss the Irish resolution The vote was taken. No one save Senator Will iiams of Mississippi opposed it. But de- spite these efforts. the incident will not down. Despite the fact that the peace commission will ignore the action of the republican Senate, it will not down.
 It is daily discussed in the British Parliament and in the Senate. In the former, the United States is bitterly criticized. In the latter. the opponents of the adopted resolution are finding satisfaction in assailing the republican majority.
 Senator Williams, who declared in debate the alleged ground on which the republicans attack the league of na- tions to be "untruthful. insincere and cowardly," is especially virulent-

supervision, without government aid, the railroads would be bankrupt within very short order.
 This view, judging from the plea of the owners of railroad securities, is the view of the railroads. The railroads want independence, but they want inde- pendence with government support. They contend that there must be comptition. They contend, at the same time, that the government must make it possible for them to earn at least 6 per cent on their investment. This would necessitate the increasing of rates, both freight and pas senger.
 Mir. wooley, trained under W. G. Nc Adoo, does not see a single bright ray ahead. He declares that when inde- pendent of the government, the railroads will rush to Washington for financial support He indicates that they will be able to make out a strong case proving that they are not making money. He states that thoreupon the commission will be compelled to grant them means of securing adequate compensation.
 The idea of MT. Wooley and many oth- CTS in Washington is that in the near future and possibly for many years to come the people of the United States will pay highsr rates than they have ever paid in the history of the nation. This has caused speculation as to whether the situation, now existing and soon to ex- ist, is attributable to the war or to gov ernmental experience in ownership.
 It has also caused speculation as to whether or not the railroad ''baiters' of other days really had justice on their side, or whether they were actuated solely by desire for political office; and whether or not there will eventually be more work for them to door another opportunity for them to get again into the thick of things.

Tuscaloosa, June 23 Especially 'Cooties" are not counted as being the cause of casualties in France-but they are in Tuscaloosa county. AS a result Virgil Brown. colored, is in his grave and Wash Brown. also colored, today pleaded guilty before the court and ac- cepted 12-year sentence for manslaugh- ter Virgil and Wash are not related and both were employed in a lumber camp at Buhl. Virgil went to the woman who ran the boarding house and accused Wash of running a boarding house for 'cooties'' and asked he be made to leave. Wash took Virgil to task for making such representations and Virgirs retort was with scantling over Wash's head two terrific blows They then closed and Wash drove his pocket knife through his adversary's heart. In the circuit court Wash entered a plea of guilty to manslaughter today and was given 12 years at hard labor. The question of fact at issue is still undecided-but cooties have been proven fatal in Ala bama.

WOMEN WIN IN
 PLEA TO GOVERNMENT

Washington. June 23.-(Special) The government. in one respect. has surrendered to it's female war workers
 It was reported in The Age Herald some weeks ago, that representatives of the women who live in the hotels constructed in the Union station plaza had resolved formally on two things: First, that the manager of the hotels must go, and secondly, that the girls who smoked in the hotels, must be pro- hibited from indulgence.
 The governement was served with copies of the resolutions and consid- cred them long and well. It is an- nounced today that the man manager of the female institutions will go, and that a. woman will be chosen to suc- ceed him. The ruling regarding the smoking of cigarettes by the inmates of the governments hotels, was not an- nounced

 "The next great war;" spoke Senator Phelan, will be fought in the Pacific. If we are to have peace of any char acter we must prepare against Japan, which is already prepared against us"
