Raids i'm Ireland Laid
to OathS of Officials

somebody dined 0ver-wel.
Strong detachments Of the army OF
occupation raided up and down.
through Dublin, breaking into houses.
seizing what they could find, making
prisoners OF honest men who are sus-
pected of Nationalist principles and
hurrying them off under armed escort
to an armed British ship that ap-
peared opportunely of Kingstown. Az
grand windup Mansion House was
seized; the fact that 1t is the official
residence of the chief magistrate of
Dublin who owes that place of honor
to the suffrages of citizens was no
protection.
The Irish Fair az an Issue.
There was a reason for the out
rage. For many years, the Irish fair.
for the exhibition and sale of Irish
made goods has been one of the fea.
lures of the Christmas season in Dub
lin. It's organizers had in view but
one object, the rendering of assistance
ing them into direct contact with buy
ers on a large or small scale. No dis
tinction of politics, creed or race was
known. No profit was made or sought
by those who bore the heavy burden
of organizing the unpretentious but ex-
tremely useful exhibition from year to-
year, but it was viewed askance by
the authorities. 1t did not seek the
patronage of the Castle or of the
viceregal lodge; it preferred to stand
or fall on its merits.
ITO be sure, it was called the
Aonach Ma Nodlag, the Christmas
Fair and as Lord French and his
privy councillor have, by proclamation
duly signed, printed, posted and torn
off deadwalls, declared the Irish lam
g,lage to be illegal, the presumption
is that treason lurked the Irish
woolens, rank sedition in feminine un-
derwear and cacophonous rebellion in
children's bugles and duums. Be it
noted, that no notice whatever was
given that the fair was contrary to
any whim of the government, later
in the day it was forbidden formally,
as If to cover over the earlier illegal
ity."
i The Freeman's Journal concludes
with the story of the order of the
British government forbidding the
publication in any newspaper of Ire
land, Of report of the proceedings
of the committee appointed by the
elected representatives Of three
fourths of the people, to inquire into
the Industrial resources of Ireland,
with the present conditions of Irish
industries and the prospect of their de-
velopment.
What does the American press think
of this sort Of a government? It is
what the people Of Ireland have so
long claimed it to be-Prussianism run
mad with power? 1s it a disgrace to
civilization?

fore the Foreign Affairs Committee.
The hearing on the Mason Bill, be-
fore the Foreign Affairs Committee of
the House of representatives at Wash
ington last week, brought delegations
Of Friends Of Irish Freedom from near
ly every State in the Union. It is per-
haps safe to assert that never in any
previous history Of Ireland's struggle
has her case been more forcibly pre-
scented, or England's mis-rule more
mercilessly held up to the gaze of
American Justice.
England's friends were headed by
Mr.. George Fox Of New Haven, and
confined themselves mostly to praise
Of British Imperialism and attacks
upon Ireland.
Hon. Daniel f. Cohalan, Justice of
the Supreme Court, New York, was
asked by Congressman Connally of
Texas, during the hearing, whether as
IN American citizen he would be will
ing that the United States should go
to war to free Ireland. A storm of
applause followed his reply:
"1n any contingency, whether we
were weak or strong, when a situa-
ton has been presented to the Ameri-
can people that appeared to them to
10 Just, they have not hesitated to
take their stand in favor Of Justice
even though it meant war"
Congressman Connally continued:
Then l understand you to answer
my question in the afirmative?"

yesterday by the Rev. James Grattan

the reply of Lindsay Crawford, the

ment continues, in part:
"In the name of all that Protestant

Of Ireland denounce such activity. In
America we have no bitter sectarian

war in which the Salvation Army and

not been Informed of the facts in the

that Great Britain would never hand
over her maritime rights to any
League of Nations.
Referring to conditions in New

that the policy of the government
was one of back to the sea" and
the government intended to develop
fish transport and cold storage.

NEW INSURANCE

Thomas B. Donaldson to Fol-
low Outlines Given by.
Governor Sproul

Insurance Commissioner Thomas
Blaine Donaldson, of Philadelphia,
who was sworn in to-day at the Of
flee of Deputy Secretary of the
Commonwealth F. A. Godcharles,
announced that Deputy Insurance
Commissioner Samuel w. McCul-
loch and the staff of the department
would be retained. He issued a state
ment in which he declared that in
surance matters would be taken up
in accordance with the outlines
given by Governor Sproul.
I'm so far as the administration
of the Insurance Department is con-
cerned during the coming months, l
can only refer to the most interest
ing and mprehensive utterances of
Governor Sproul. on Tuesday last. 1t
is. as you will recall, his entire pur-
pose to coordinate all activities of
the State for the advantage of the
people of the Commonwealth. He
made it emphatically clear to me
that he would not countenance per-
functory work: that our first obliga-
ton was to effect the very best we
could with the meals at our dis
posal. He pledged full aid within his
power to further any practicable
and constructive recommendation or
activity of the insurance depart
ment. For my own part. I consider
the present staff my associates. Many
of them have been my friends for
several years. They include some
who not only have served this State
with fidelity for twenty and more
years but who are recognized au-
thorities on all branches of insur-
ance and INSURANCE. laws. ! consider
myself most fortunate in having
the aid and counsel of these men,
our concerted efforts will be to cope
with whatever duties we face in a
manner that will meet with the COM
mendation of Governor Sproul. He
is far from hazy as to what he
wants. We, as a cog in the great
activities of the Commonwealth
which are to be furthered in tho
coming four years, are at his COM
mand. I have had no opportunity
whatsoever to take up in detail the
matter of rehabilitation or changes
of activities in the department.

Gravitation Puzzles
Bv GARRETT P. SERVISS

IpN ia MI L L L. SEIS V 100
Il have been hoping for some time
that YOU would take UP the subject
of falls from aeroplanes. How fast
does a body fall the first ten feet.
the second ten feet, and how far to
attain its maximum velocity? Would
one falling from great height be
unconscious or dead before reach
in the ground?-F. II. K, San
Francisco"
There is reason to believe that
one of the least painful of all forms
of accidental death is that which
results from a fall from a great
height. 1t is likely that virtual un-
consciousness exists almost from the
start, on account of the confusion of
mind q oduced by the rapid rush
through the air, and long before the
ground is reached the velocity of the
fall greatly exceeds the velocity of
nerve conduction. and much more
than that of muscular contraction.
The consequence must be that
there is no time after the body first
touches the ground for a nervous
wave to pass to the brain beSore
that organ, has entirely ceased to
function, or even to exist as a mech
anism. The speed of the nervous
impulse is about 100 feet per sec
oHt, bul Il lulilIlB DOuy acquires
that speed within a little over three
seconds after the fall begins. At
the end of the first 10 feet of fall
the speed is about % 2-5 feet per
second. During the second 10 feet
the speed increases to 35% feet
per second. A fall of 100 feet
produces a speed of 80 feet per
second, and after falling 1854 feet
the speed becomes 100 feet per sec
ond. %.
a fall of 1000 feet develops a
velocity of SOC feet per second,
and requires about 16 seconds.
These calculations take no account
of air resistance, which would change
the result very little for the short
falls, and not very much for the
longer ones. In all these cases the
velocity continues to increase until
the ground is reached.
"A and are arguing on the laws
of motion. A says that because
there is no resistance in a vacuum
body in motion will continue in
motion. b says that a body in mo-
ton in the air will stop immedi-
ately on entering a vacuum. If A
is right, can an airplane travel out
side the atmosphere?
C. S. birmingham, Mass"
"A is right. Motion cannot be
destroyed without resistance. A
body moving in a vacuum would

high, and it was the ptible
resistance which they encountered
at that elevation which enabled
them to attain so enormous a range
horizontally.
If projectible entered a vacuum
at the distant of leaving the muzzle
OF the gun it would retain the muz-
zle velocity to the end of its course,
except SO far as 1t was opposed by
gravity, If it were travelling in a
horizontal direction and passed from
the air into a vacuum and later
from the vacuum back into air
again, the speed with which it en-
tered the vacuum would be main
tanned unchanged as long as it's
course lay in the vacuum, but the
moment it re-entered the air, re-
sistance would again be, encounter
