One Of the Biggest Questions
Confronting Viscount Grey
Is the Problem of Ireland
Newly Appointed British Ambassador to U. S. Called
Cream of Empires Statesmen-All Britain Will
Draft Bill for Irish Government Says Lord North
cffes Brother
Japan regarding Shantung when the

Japan regarding Shantung when the
United States entered the war.
This is delicate matter and dis
cusslon of it is untimely because it
tends to hurt Apglo-American rela-
tons. l am sure President Wilson,
who is one of the greatest modern
statesmen, is quite capable of ex-
planning anything regarding the
happenings during the war and at
the peace conference.
furthermore, friendly relations
between America and Britain con-
stltute the paramount issue at pres
ent. The appointment of Viscount
Grey IS great step toward
Strengthening those relations. He
was picked from the cream of Brit
lsh statesmen. The ambassador
at Washington was vacant so long
because we were anxious to get the
best man. We have got him.
Grey's Work Unequalled.
Lord Grey is the only man in the
last 100 years who has received the
honor of being made a Knight of
the Garter who has not been a peer.
That was for his work as foreign
secretary, which is unqualified
He will stay in Washington as
long as he is physically able. He
told me if he didn't abuse his eyes
too much they wouldn't get worse.
Another great question between
America and England is that of i'm
port restrictions. The feeling in
America on these restrictions and
their consequences is England's own
FAULT. | am organizing bureau in
New York to make clear these ques-
tons.
Restriction Problems.
Take, for instance, the case of
motor cars. All of Britain's motor
industries during the war were
turned over to war work. Naturally,
it took time to readjust them on a
peace basis. 1t is only fair that the
government should protect them
while they are in this period of tran
ston. Any other country would
20 the same. NOW the proper time
has elapsed, and the restrictions
will be lifted September /, and i'm
portation will be on a pre-war basis
again"
Mr.. Harmsworth graciously in
vited the correspondent to dinner
and at the dinner table the only
topic of discussion was that OF
America having gone dry. Mr..
Harmsworth couldn't understand it
at all, and asked in wonderment,
how long do you suppose it will
keep up"
You couldn't get England dry
l don't think" said Mr.. Harmsworth
to the correspondent who chose
water instead of wine. you're the
only dry American l ever met. l
guess you're getting ready to get
back home, and are training, as it
were, eh?"

Ferns Goes After More
Machinery for Spraque

Francis Ferns, secretary of the
Sprague Tire & Rubber Co.. left
Saturday for Akron to hurry along
additional equipment for the Sprague
factory at Eighteenth and Cunning
Streets.
Mr.. Ferns also will negotiate for
still more machinery, which no
doubt will be needed next spring
when production in the Sprague
plant will, it is expected, reach 1000
tires and tubes a day Rearrange-
ment in the tube room is now being

BY FORBES FAIRBAIRN
Universal Service Staff Correspondent.
Special Cable Dispatch.

London, Aug. 23.-"One of the
biggest questions Viscount Grey
will have to deal with as British am
bassador to the United States will
be Ireland. Ireland, without doubt,
is a cancer-the one thorn in the
side of Anglo-American friendship"
Cecil B. Harmsworth, parliament
tary under-secretary for foreign at
fairs, and brother of Lord North
cliffe, told Universal Service this to-
day. In the garden of his beautiful
country home at Henley Thames
where he is recuperating from the
strenuous period of the last session
of Parliament, Mr.. Harmsworth dis
cussed with me the future of Anglo
American friendship particularly
with relation to Ireland.
l caught him punting on the
Thames, which flows through his
garden. Dressed in flannels. white
shirt with open throat and canvas
shoes, he was a different man from
the dignified cabinet member | had
found in his office in Downing street
the other day.
Irish Question Paramount.
"The Irish question must and will
be cleared up soon," he said.
81 do not know what Lord Grey's
policy will be, but you may rest
assured it will be best for all con-
cerned. t am exceedingly glad the
Irish question has been developed
to its present issue. 1t makes a
definite settlement imperative.
This will be done during the ses.
sion following the present recess OF
Parliament. Ireland cannot agree
on the form of government it wants:
Therefore, the rest of Britain will
draft and pass bill through Parlia-
ment for an Irish government. | do
not know what it will be, but prob
ably it will be some form of home
rule. England wants more than
anything else a settlement of the
Irish question.
mo one will deny that Ireland
has had disagreement for hun
dreds of years. That would be all
over now if Ireland would draft a
bill for home rule and if that bill
would pass Parliament without OPP
position. But Ireland will not
agree.
Evades Shantung Question.
81 am afraid l must refuse abso-
lutely to discuss the Shantung al
fair" said Harmsworth when the
correspondent asked him why Brit
ain had failed to inform President
Wilson of the existence of the Sc
cret treaty between it, France and

Rubber Bathing Suit!

Revere Beach, Mass, Aug. 23.-
A young woman wearing a bathing
suit entirely of rubber Grated a stir
on the beach here. Friends attempt

sold the chic affair was unable to
offer a logical excuse. The wearer
said she bought the rubber bathing
suit because of its attractive design

Bank Burglars Prove
Nothing But Shadows

Gettysburg, Pa, Aug. 23.-Mys-
FERROUS shadows in the main room
of the Gettysburg National bank
and the noise of an explosion, re-
ported by several persons recently,
gave rise to the rumor that the in
stitution was being robbed. State
police stationed nearby were sum-
moned, county officers and the
borough force were called to the
scene.
After an investigation it devel-
oped that the mysterious shadows
seen in the bank were projected
from a club which is located on the
second floor of the adjoining build
ing. The explosion was explained
later when it was learned that a
large can of tomatoes in the cellar
Of a nearby hotel had exploded.

dizzy spells. Doan's Kidney Pills,
however. soon proved just what
needed for in a short time ! was free
from those troubles"

MIR. l.. +. Wood Knocked Down by
Automobile in Sumter.

Sumter, March 25.-,Just before the
opening of Court Of Common Pleas
Monday morning MIR. J.. f. Wood,
court stenographer, met with very
serious and painful accident, when
car, driven by Mr.. R. J. Kolb, ran
over him. MIR. Wood was badly
bruised and cut, being Knocked
down, the car passing over his en-
tire body. 1t was at first feared
that he had sustained serious injuries,
but later examination at the Tou-
mey Hospital, where he was immedi-
ately taken, revealed the fact that no
bones were broken and that he had
not sustained any internal injuries.
The accident, according to eyewit-
Lesses, was an unavoidable one, and
no one regrets the matt more than
MIR. Kolb himself. 1t is hoped that the
injured man will soon be out and able
to return to his duties.

HER MALE ATTIRE


Saturday led picturesque career.
Four years were spent on the battle
fields of the Civil War. The remain
der of her active life was spent in
fighting for the feminine dress reform
and woman's right to political suf-
frage, in which movements she was a
pioneer She frequently claimed to
have been the first American woman
to attempt to cast ballot in legal
election Her livelihood was earned
during all those years by her private
medical practice and by writing.
BY suecial authorization from the
Federal Congress DR.. Walker adopted
male attire during the Civil War and
for the half century since she had
continued to wear it in civil life,-the
only woman in the country who ever
had her rights in this respect prescrib
ed by the National legislators. She
wore black frock coat, trousers and
a high silk hat and carried a cane.
DR.. Walker also was distinguished
as the only woman in history who,
when a captive in war, was exchang
ed as prisoner Of war for a man of
equal rank in the army of the foe
She was also the first woman to be
regularly enlisted in an army as a
surgeon.
Born in Oswego, N Y, November
26, 1882, Miss Walker was a graduate
doctor with the degree of M. D. at the
age Of 20. Beginning practice immedi
ately she soon adopted masculine
clothes. Her war career began at the
age of 90 She volunteered her SER
vice, entering the Union Army as an
assistant surgeon with the rank first
lieutenant. She dressed like her broth
er officers, having gold cord, and
an officers overcoat. Her jacket was
cut like a blouse and fitted loosely
at the neck,
when l had on my overcoat." DR..
Walker declared, 81 locked every inch
the man, and l am sure acted it."
DR.. Walker never married. Her
proudest possession was the bronze
medal she wore at the bosom Of her
frock coat On the back was engraved
this legend; Presented by the Con
gress of the United States to Mary
E. Walker A. A. Surgeon, U. S.
Army"
She became celebrated in the Unit
ed tates and England as lecturer
uring the half century following the
Civil War.
do l ever have unkind things said
to me?", she once said, echoing an
interviewer's question. "Yes,-of
course-by ill bred people. But they
are few. When anyone does say any
thing unpleasant l usually have some
thing to say in return which makes us
quits. Oh, ! tell you, trousers are a
great thing"
Occasionally, policeman failing
to recognize the little, gray-haired
woman, placed her under arrest. This
recently happened in Chicago Showing
the documents which gave her right
to wear masculine attire, she was re
leased Hher only remark regarding
the guardian of the law was:
He's an old idiot"
Although a pioneer in the woman
suffrage movement, DR.. Walker was
out of sympathy with the methods
of some of her sister workers.

TO INCREASE TEN TINES

Douglas, Ga, Feb. 24,-The agrfcul

year will increase the acreage of to
bacco at the ratio of ten acres for
one acre planted last year. The farm
ers are now looking upon tobacco as
their money crop this year; and each
farmer will plant some tobacco. 1t is
conservatively estimeated that there
will be at least 10000 acres of toDac

is becoming such a factor here that
the farmers's obligations which were
formerly payable in the late fall. are
now being made payable at the end of

average of cotton in Coffee county
this year will be comparatively small
and while it is true that each farmer
may plant some few acres in cotton
