REPORT IRISH SITUATION BAD

Despatch Declares Dangerous condi-
tons Will Soon Face Government.
London, March 14.-Special promi-
nence is given by the Mail to a Dub
lin despatch representing the situation
in Ireland as being extremely bad and
maintained the need of effective self
government is more urgent than ever.
"NOw that the Sim Fein members
of the house of commons have been
| released" is says, "there will be
new assembly of the Irish parliament,
which will probably be troublous at
fair without an authoritative admin
istration to balance its activities.
Labor troubles of greatest import
are growing and it is impossible for
the British government to handle
them There is barely a section of
Irish labor which is not preparing or
threatening to strike for demands
which no employer can possibly grant.
"The we'll intentioned schemes of
General Viscount French. lord leu-
tenant for social and industrial inn
provement, have gone by the board.
There is a dangerous situation which
con be handled only by an Irish par
lament"

NeutraIized Poison Gas.

"Neutralizing ointment" is one Of
the latest war inventions. 1t is pub
licly revealed in an official description
of the protective devices against gas
attacks issued to our troops. The
mask, with its contained chemicals
for neutralizing any poisonous fumes
that creep in Is familiar. But one So
called gas is liquid and because Of
its blistering effect the soldiers have
given it the name Of mustard gas"
When an area is drenched with the
stuff the menace may persist for many
days. The peril is not from the liquid
itself. Mustard gas burns through the
clothing, and makes painful wounds
where the flesh is reached. The newly
invented ointment must apparently be
rubbed all over the body, as well as on
face and hands, to prepare the SOL
dier when the enemy's bursting shells
are spraying this horrible gas about.

HITCHCOCK SSUES STRONG
STATEMENT THRU LEAoUE
TO ENFORCE PEACE.
IS IN COLD STORAGE
SAYS RATIFICATION WILL BRING
ABOUT REDUCTION IN COST
OF LIVING.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
(By EDWARD q. CLARk.)

Washington, d. c., Aug. Ex-senator
Hitchcock, leader of the supporters Of
the treaty with Germany in the Sem
ate Committee on Foreign Relations,
has issued the following statement
thru the League to Enforce Peace:
The treaty ratification situation
changed somewhat during the past
week. A new issue was raised when
1 asked the chairman Of the Foreign
Relations Committee and majority
members when they proposed to get
action.
81 took this course after consulting
has been a growing demand for action
by the committee. 1t has had the
treaty since July 10. For five weeks,
therefore, the treaty has been in cold
storage without Il vote or any other
action.
"The Senate is waiting, and the
country is waiting, and the impatienco
il increasing. Everyone knows that the
enemies Of the treaty and opponents
Of the League of Nations control the
committee. Everyone also knows that
lie sentiment resents the suggestion
that the opponents of the treaty might
keep it locked up in the committee,
and this greatly delays ratification.
when l raised the issue in the COM
mittee, it became manifest that sew
eral Republican members were Op-
posed to further delay and so an un-
derstanding was reached for voting.
Since then several days of additional
delay have intervened, but we hope to
begin voting in committee this week on
proposed amendments. We ought to
get the treaty reported back to tho
Senate in a week or ten days.
1T is of little Importance what the
committee does as long as it does
something, il it recommends amend
ments, the Senate will reject them. If
it mutilates the treaty, the Senate will
cure the damage done. The chief harm
that the committee can do is in caus-
ing delay.
Everyone now realizes that we are
still suffering from war; and that the
first step toward relief is to ratify the
peace treaty. The Presidents address
served to arouse the country to the
| Importance Of treaty ratification as
one of the steps necessary to reduce
the cost of living.
He has very properly connected the
high cost of living with the war. He
| has shown that we cannot get rid Of
war conditions and war evils until
peace comes, with its normal cOndi-
| tions.
HE has shown that the first step
that must be taken is the ratification
Of the treaty. In pointing this out and
in taking the leadership in movement
to reduce the cost of living, the Pres
ident has brought the treaty much
| nearer to a vote"

in the American camp here for the
entertainment OF the soldiers doing
guard duty at the warehouses and the
sailors bringing supplies from Ameri-

of the auditorium and supervise other
decorations, but themselves did much
OF the work. Besides the interior
decorations, they set low hedge be-
fore the main entrance to the hut
and low hedges in window boxes out
side all the windows. Then the Hol-
landers asked permission to dedicate
the hut as a further evidence Of their
friendship for the Americans. That
request also the Y. NJ. G. A. granted

cnced the thrills OF crawling out al

Today the canteen girl works under
improved conditions and with ever,
modern convenience to facilitate her
enterprise. The huts in Germany are
spacious structures, beautifully decor

wicker chairs and settees.

chances are she doesn't, for ice cream
is now the popular refreshment--tt "

over stove.
There are real Kitchens in the new
Y huts, with running water and sinks
and open windows breaking the rows
Of neatly arranged cooking utensils
that hang on the walls. In the old
days many pot OF chocolate was
boiled over a FIRE built between bricks
piled In hollow square. Sometime,
the awter was mile away and cups
had TO be used over again and again
but that's an old story now.
The maximum of effort was e1pend
ed by canteen girls in those days In
accomplishing the minimum of result
They worked in rubber boots that pro
tected their feet from the rain ano

tiers. Their supplies didn't always

olate wasn't as sweet as 1t should have
been, because the sugar gave out The
cookies were broken and moist from
the rain.
