BRYCE SAYS BRITISH
WANT T0FREE ERIN
Tells America Liberty Within
Empire Is Solution Sought
BY EnQIand.

LONDON, July 4.-Forty articles de-
voted to the relations between Great
Britain and the UnitNl States and to
American affairs generally are pub
lshed in a special American Edition"
of the London Times this morning.
Chief among the contributions is one
by Viscount Bryce, former ambassador
to the United States, who writes on
the Irish question and the attitude
OF the American people toward this
issue.
What the American people ought
to know. but apparently do not
know says Niscount Bryce. "is that
the great majority of the English
people desire to give ireland the full
est measure of freedom within tho
empire, but it is in the divisions
within lreland--not in the lack of
any good will in England's part-that
lies practically the only obstacle
which still delays that peaceful set
tlement which the British Democracy
sincerely desires"
Many OF the articles are by promi-
nent American. Franklin X. Lane,
former Secretary OF the Interior,
warns England OF the danger to world
troll of the worlds oil supply.
Americas position regarding the
peace treaty and the League OF Ma
tions Is also dealt with in the ar
ricles. as well as the cost of living
and various industries, particularly
shipping.

mission to present himself to the
Swiss authorities for trial. Being a
member of the diplomatic corps as as
sistant military attaChe of the United

mune from arrest. The case was
finally referred to his superiors in the
United States army.

to have been approved by the Ameri-
can commanding general at present
at Coblenz.
The Order OF Knight of the Legion
of Honor has been conferred upon
Schelling by the President of France,

MUSIC "TYPER" LATEST
INVENTION IN ENGLAND

A decided novelty in the way OF a
machine for typing music, invented
in Eng land, has aroused the interest
of American composers. While GER
tain temperamental musicians might
object to having anything so COM
mercial as machine take down their
musical flights of fancy, the conven-
fence of the invention probably will
compensate for that drawback.
The machine bears little resemb-
lance to the ordinary typewriter. but
it has all the conventional characters
