LASHING CARSON
Reference to u. S. Termed
Particularly Tactless.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON. July l6.-sir Edward Car
sons speech has brought the Ulster
leader under the lash of tho news
papers of all parties. primarily on
account of his references 70 the
United States. which are criticised as
tactless and calculated TO breed bad
blood between the two nations and sec
cndly because he reiterated his old threat
to call out the Ulster volunteers TO re-
sist any attempt to place the Home Rule
act in operation.
The labor organs are not slow TO
point out how such Indictment 10 direct
action could be improved upon in the
Industrial neld for securing political
ends. The liberal pro-Irish papers are
equally quick to point out that in point
OF tactics there is no difference between
King de Valera" and King Carson"
The matter came up In the House Of
Commons tonight. when the Speaker
gave John Robert Clynes. Laborite. per-
mission to move adjournment Of the
House for the purpose OF challenging the
Government 10 see the law in motion
against Sir Edward Carson for a speech
melting to violence and endangering the
safety OF the realm. Mr.. Clynes said
there were many poor, illlterate men
now In prison for saying less harmful
things than Carson had said. 1t was
the Governments duty to see that the
law was equitably enforced.
Mr.. Clynes described Sir Edward Car
son as the arch apostle OF direct ac-
ton"
Lord Hugh Cecil and other unionist
members condemned Carson's remarks
as indefensible.
The Attorney General. Sir Gordon
Hewart. declared the allegation that
Sir Edward Carsons speeches melted
to a breach OF the law and violence had
broken down. There was nothing In the
speech in question upon which II was
possible 10 found legal proceedings. The
passage referring TO the calling out OF
volunteers was hypothetical and con-
tingent on depriving Ulster people of
their rights as British subjects, and
this nobody proposed to do.
However much the speech might be
regrAtted at time like this, there was
no las which could be set In motion, as
no offence had been committed.

PARIS. July 1.-the League OF Ma
lions as formulated hero was denounced
by the National Socialist Congress as a
caricature of what had been promised
by President Wilson when he landed In
France. A scafhing denunciation of the
covenant was embodied in n long reso-
luton which the congress passed in It's
final session yesterday. In this resolu-
ton the Socialists repudiated the whole
Peace Treaty In the most scathing terms.
When the President landed in France
because Of his espousal Of the league,
which makes their reaction now all the
more marked. The resolutions say, re-
garding the covenant:
This league. whereof the initiation
was accompanied by the violation Of
right wherein certain Of the Allies were
victims, such as China, which was de-
spoiled OF Shantung for Japan's profit 4:
the scandalous partition of the German
colonies and the recognition of the Brit
ish dominion over Egypt. is only a carl
cature Of the league that was promised
to the French people during the war
to sustain them. The Socialist party
denounces It as hypocrisy and as a men,
ace. Contrary to the most solemn en-
gagements the league will not bring
about any serious reduction In arma-
ment.
ut signifies to the French people that
because Of the military occupations pro-
vided they who have suffered most from
the war must continue 20 bear the most
crushing burdens. In this as in other
respects II violates the highest human
interests, as we'll as those of the nation"
The Socialists declare that the Gov
eminent has used victory to consolidate
the domination OF capitalism, and point
to the league as the strongest evidence
Of this. since "it is clearly capitalistic
and anti-revolutionIstio and against all
peoples who are trying to obtain their
liberty"

GEAR SLAIN YEAR AGO

LONDON, July 1s.-Ekaterinburg. ITO
miles southeast of Perm, has been cap
tured by the Bolsheviki, according to a
Russian wireless despatch received here
to-day. The town was occupied on Mon
day.
A special cable despatch to THE Sun
Tuesday morning said the forces OF Ad-
rniral Kolchak, the military leader OF
the anti-Bolsheviki in Russia, had begun
the evacuation OF Ekaterinburs. the CEN
tire OF the Ural mining region. The city
has been one OF the chief supply bases
OF the Kolchak forces, and II actually 1t
has been lost the anti-Bolsheviki have
given up their last important base north
OF the trans-Siberian railroad at Tche-
liabinsk.
Tho cable 70 THE Sun said the popula-
ton OF Ekaterinburg had departed long
since and that the city remained only a
shell. No military Importance was at
tached to the decision TO evacuate. al
though Russian leaders expressed regret
that saddles were not available for the
cavalry, in which event the Bolshevlk
forces could be driven out. In the light
Of the future the evacuation OF the city
was Interpreted TO mean that Moscow
could not be occupied within a year, and
that the Allies must prepare for another
winter campaign by clothing the armies
OF the Kolchak forces and Quitting
them for new attacks next spring.
One year ago yesterday Nicholas
Romanoff. former Emperor OF Russia,
disappeared from Ekaterinburg, and re-
ports that he was executed by order of
the Cral Soviet on that day have not
been disproved. Ekaterinburg was cap
tured by Czecho-Slovak and Russian
forces within a month after the disap-
pearance of the former Emperor. The
city was the scene also OF the death OF
other members OF the Russian royal
family.

sage OF congratulation upon the signing

the Allies, and particularly France, did
