SAY CRISIS CRAVE
Program of Destruction by Sim
Fein Continues.
Parliamentary Debate on Irish
Question Now Expected.

London, June 2.-The audacity with
which the Sim Fein carried out their
raid yesterday afternoon on Kings
Inn, in Dublin. amazed the London
press. The soldier guard quartered in
the inn was taken by surprise and was
powerless against the hundred men
who completed their raid in less than
ten minutes and vanished before rein
forcements could arrive.
The affair is expected to arouse a
lively debate in parliament this after
noon. 1t is understood that Sir Hamar
Greenwood, chief secretary for Ireland,
regards the situation in Ireland as
most grave. He does not intend, it
was said, to neglect any reasonable
means of Cancellation, but is de-
termined, if necessary. to steadily in
crease measures to suppress the terror
ism.
The latest destruction INCLUDE the
military barracks at Cullybackey in
County Antrim, at Leenale in County
Galway, and at Kilbehenny, County
Cork. Raiders also attacked the court
house at Druminin and the tax office
at Castletown, as well as five coast
guard stations and the Queenstown
naval station

FEDERAL STANDARDS STAND
Wheat Grades VIII Not Be Changed
Decides Secretary Meredith.

Washington June 2.-Continuation
of present federal wheat standards
was decided upon today by Secretary
Meredith in an opinion covering hear
ings held to inquire into dissatisfac-
ton in the central northwest with ex-
listing grades for hard red spring and
Durum wheats.
Requests for lowering the present
standards, the secretary announced
would tend to decrease the return to
farmers, while advocates of the
change argued that the producers
would receive more money for his
wheat.
The federal standards established in
1917 and revised in 1918 have been
operative only under fixed price and
war conditions. the secretary stated,
adding that opportunity for fair tests
of their merits or defects has not been
afforded under normal marketing con-
ditions.
''It is believed that any injustice to
producers of wheat that may have re-
suited from fixed prices during the
war will be eliminated when normal
competitive marketing conditions
again prevail" the opinion stated.
