Great hopes were entertained that,

Carson Shows Up As Trouble Maker

Dublin.-The situation in Ireland
is steadily drifting toward disaster.
Premier Lloyd Georges refusal to dis
cuss Ireland at all supplies the clue
to the state of mind of the Cabinet.
The Premier is in the grip of reaction
airy Tories and is held for them by Sir
Edward Carson, who is the hidden
hand" that rules the governments
policy in Ireland.
That policy is directed by him to
create a situation which will make
certain disastrous contest between
British authority and popular will in
Ireland. Sir Edward Carson has lost
prestige and influence of the most
powerful and influential Southern
Unionists.
The first blow struck at his autoc-
racy in the leadership in the North
of Ireland was at the general elections,
when labor opposed his right and the
right of his nominees to voice it's
claims. His arrogation of the leader.

The election contest deepened the
Industrial revolt against him. His un.
scrupulous play with the prejudices
and passions of the Orange working
classes in Belfast and throughout the
North gave him most of his power
but his influence in that connection
may now be accepted as broken.
Carson is keenly conscious of his
fall from grace among his own ad
mirers and former sycophants and
knows one thing alone can restore him
to favor and that is proof of the cor
rectness of his attitude by demon

memory, a few of these principles

The Basis of the League of Nations

Creator to be the Father and Lord of
the universe, whom all nations, as all
individuals, must obey.
Second-The Ten Commandments
apply without exception equally to all
nations. Every nation must worship
God, and Him alone, honor His Holy
Name, keep holy the Sunday, respect
the inalienable rights of parents, and
avoid murder, divorce laws, theft,
lies and covetousness.
Third-All nations are free and
equal, and subject to God. Just as
human slavery is crime against the
dignity of map, whom God made free
and equal in his essential rights, so
also national slavery, the maintenance

are gradually educated to liberty.
Fourth-No nation is really sover-

though a juridically perfect society. a
state is necessarily subject to the will
OF God, as manifested in International
ethics. Or the very nature of things
this international ethics calls for an
organism to proclaim and apply it.
This organism can only be formed by
the nations creating new interna-
tional and supernatural body--the
league of nations.
Fifth-Every nation has as its OBJ

| nation, but this object must be subor-
dinate to the common good of the
human race. Otherwise there exists
a form of excessive nationalism or
aggressive imperialism, which excites
pride and increases national greed, all
of which results in unnecessary war.
Si&t}l-The league of nations has
as it's object the common good of hui
mainly, which it must protect against
the injustice of nations The league
must protect the inalienable rights of
nations as the nations must respect
the inalienable rights of families. In
Il clash between the rights Of a nation
and the rights of the league, the
league must prevail, as it has as it's
object the greater good.

minorities, such as that of establish

states, must consider the principle of
nationality, race and language and the
general interests of mankind, and not

Danbury, Conn, Nov. 1O.-A re-
markable case of dual identity was
revealed when man arrested in Nor
walk was brought here by o. J. Waite,
an investigator of the war risk insur-
ance bureau. Waite arrested the man
as Private Henry Bromley, Jr., of
Bethel, but he has decided to report to
Washington that the prisoner Is Sam
uel Reddy, of New Canaan, and that
Bromley is dead.
The case has features which make
it one of the most unique developed
by the great war. 1t goes back to No
vember 20, last year, when Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Bromley. of Bethel, re-
ceived word that their son had been
killed in action in France. Mrs. Brom-
ley committed suicide few hours later.
Last May a soldier arrived in Bethel
and was greeted as Private Bromley.
The young man went to the Bromley
home where the elder Bromley welcomed
him as his son. After remaining in
Bethel several days, during which his
identity as young Bromley was not
questioned, the young man disappeared.
leaving word that he was not Private
Bromley, but Samuel Reddy.
The war risk insurance bureau rep
rescntative appeared soon after to
straighten out the tangle over the in :
surance money which had been paid
to Bromley after his sons death was
reported. 1t was not until n few days

ago that Waite got trace of Private
Bromley, who had been working in
Norwalk under the name of Samuel
Reddy.
The investigator learned that Sam
uel Reddy had recently been Mt his home
in New Canaan and that his parents
and eleven brothers and sisters did not
question his identity. After taking the
young man into custody Waite exam
ined him for scars which bromley said
his son had on his body There were
three. and the prisoner had them all.
Samuel Reddy. alias Private Brom-
ley, told the investigator that he fought
at the Argonne. that he changed iden =
tifcation tags with dead soldier. that
he had suffered from shell shock and had
deserted, finally reaching this country.
He said n man he met on train gave
him draft board identification card
made out for Samuel Reddy. John
Reddy, of New Canaan. says his son
was not in the army. Photographs of
Samuel Reddy and Private Bromley
show a remarkable resemblance. Mem
bers of both families identified the
prisoner as their kin and said there
were family topics on both sides with
which he was familiar.
Investigator Waite said he did not
know how he could prove that the man
is Reddy. but would report his belief
to Washington. The technical charge
on which the prisoner is held is theft of
suit of clothes in Bethel which may
be the only charge against him if his
identification as Reddy stands.

MRS. ,SH0NTS ACCUSED
Ask Removal as Temporary Admin
illustrator on Deceit Charge

New York, Nov. 10.-Nfrs. Milla ID.
Shonts was charged with practicing de-
ceit upon the Surrogate Court in having
herself appointed temporary admins
tratrix of the estate of her husband, the
late Theodore P. Shonts, in an appli-
cation filed on behalf of the executors.
in which the removal of Mrs. ShOnts
as temporary administrator and the
appointment of the executors in her
stead is demanded.
Mrs. Shonts was directed in an order
signed by Surrogate Fowler to show
cause on Tuesday why the application
for her removal should not be granted.
She was served with the order at her
residence, but declined later to make
any statement relative to the case.
The alleged deceit with which Mrs.
Shonts was charged consisted of having
asked to be appointed temporary ad-
ministratrix upon the statement that
she had been unable to find any Will
whereas the executors under the will
which made Mrs. Amanda G. Thomas

of the $474,00 estate, say Mrs
