Sim Fein Haue Real Police

unteers, and they have developed a
highly organized police and detective
force. Frequently officials of the Eng
lish forces in Ireland appeal to Sim
to recover stolen property for them.
A well authenticated incident of this
kind occurred at Trallee a week or
so ago, where six bags of oats were
stolen from the colonel commanding
the local garrison. The Royal Irish
COnstabulary were informed, but
took no action. The volunteers were
notified and the next day the oats
were returned. The colonel went to
the editor of the local newspaper and
requested him to printe note Of
thanks to the Sim Feiners.
Records of the Volunteer police
were shown representative of the
United Press in Cork Among them
was the case of two Cork bankers who
We're robbed of Is 900 pounds ster-
ling. The bankers We're carrying
large amount of money to be used in
cashing checks at the Knocknagree
Cattle Fair, where transactions in
cash are the rule among cattle buy
ers. They were held up by a gang,
who escaped with $4,000 pounds. The
names of the bandits were known
and reported to the R. |. C. Nothing
happened and the bankers in despair
called in the Irish Volunteers. Three
weeks later all but fw pounds of
the amount stolen were recovered by
the Sim Feiners and returned to
rightful owners.
The inside story of the recovery
reads like fiction. The Volunteers
captured the thieves, who refused to
divulge the hiding place of their loot.
They were taken to lonely ruined
abbey, known as the Rock of Cashel,
and a guard placed over them with
orders to keep them in custody until

| they told where the money was
hidden. At the end Of the third week
the men capitulated and one Of them
went with a Sim Fein detective and
pointed out the hidden money.
Among the cases pending one was
shown that caused considerable laugh
ing comment. A few days ago the
Resident Magistrate, who is Crown
officer and whose duty it is to sent
ence Sim Fein police as unlawfully
impersonating officers of the law,
lost his bicycle. The magistrate
wasted no time with the officially
constituted police, but hastened to the
Cork Municipal building and reported
his loss to an officials % the Irish
republic, with the request that vol
unteers take action.

Cork, Dec. 4.--Sinn Feiners decided
to kidnan a we'll known general who
was known by them to be visiting the
Cork garrison some few days ago.

ments inE Cork were carefully kept
from even members Of his own staff.
Six Sim Fein volunteers or |. r.

members sof the volunteer forces are
called in Ireland eby sEnglish3 military
and Irishn1en alike were posted at
centre-of-town corner of Patrick
street at a0.30ga.ema on a certain
day. A car was ordered to arrive at
the corner at 1882. At the appointed
time to the minute the general came
sauntering down the street but, be-
cause of aHpuncture the car did not
arrive. TIE general was fired at,
but escaped unhit. @
There are many more incidents
like this that illustrate the wonder
full efficiency of the Sim F'ein secret
service. ItSis an open fact that the
movements of the military rae some
times better known to Sim Feinners
than to themselves. Frequently a
soldier or Junior officer has but to
inquire Of an Irish civilian the future
movements of his regiment and have
orders accurately quoted long before
a hint of them has leaked out in the
barracks.
With the: exception of the Dublin
Metropolitan, who refuse to carry
arms, no body of men in Ireland can
be called "police," as that word is
understood in America, in the sense
of affording the civil population pro.
lection against ordinary infraetors of

STRIKE OIL NEAR

tBy United Press)

VANCOUVER, h. c., Dec. 4--Gov-

bia are preparing to cope with a rush
toward the Arctic Circle comparable
Ito the Klondike gold rush of 1897 as
q result of word which has reached

kenzie river near Fort Norman, 200
miles from ,Vircle.
GIhe Standard Oil company, which
has been drilling in that region,
brought in the well with an estimate
flow of from 1000 to 600O barrels
daily.
Fearing that the rush OF s'tsnder-
feet" i nseareh of riches may mean
that the tragedies of the Klondike
may be repeated, the government has
thrown a Gordon of the Northwest
Mounted Police across the northern
routes of travel, with orders to pre-
vent the inexperienced and improper

wintr. These orders will remain in
effect until June, when the country
will be thrown open.
Warnings have been sent out, how

6chleswig Votes to Be Danish.

1cSteEudy tHc ptoptc VI bN"iSH
Sehleswis, taken from Denmark over
fifty years ago by Germany and taken
away from Germany by the treaty Of
Versailles, voted on the question Of
sovereignty. For weeks past prepara-
tions have been made for this vote.
Great numbers Of people who were en-
titled to vote under the treaty terms
were brought from distances. The
pro- German propaganda was very
busy and, it was feared by some, was
effective. The German government
kept under cover, but its hand was
seen in the maneuvers of the cam
paign. There WIS some frank anxiety
lest the Germans would "put some
thing over" ON the Danes.
Yesterdays vote, however, removes
all doubt. As far as reported the vote
for Danish sovereignty was about 75,-
600 snd that for German rule was
about $4,000. Thus by at least three
to one the people of Schleswig nave
decided that they prefer to become
Danish, as they were before 1866, and
as they have been in spirit ever since
the rape Of the land by Prussia.
Had such q plebiseite been held un-
der German auspices doubtless this
result would not have been shown. A
popular vote on sovereignty under
such circumstances would have been
a farce, despite the tenacity Of the
Danes Of Sehlcswig for their old al
legiance. Often during the progress
Of the war a p1ebiscite was proposed
by German statesmen for Alsaee and
Lorraine, in an apparently sincere Of.
fer to submit the question of so~er-
eighty to the people. The French
gave no heed to this proposal, know
ing perfectly that plebiscite in such
circumstances would be foreeone
conclusion for continued German rule.
A fair vote would have been impos-
sible. The treaty Of Versailles re-
stored Alsaee and Lorraine to France
without conditions. No plebiscite will
be held there.
Under the Sehleswig provisions Of
the tresty--to which Denmark was
not a party-the right 10 vote was
granted to all persons, both men and
women, twenty years Of age at the
time Of the coming into force Of the
treaty and who were born in the zone
in question or had been domiciled
there since q dste before January l,
1900, or who had been expelled by the
German authorities without having re-
tanned their domicilc there. The
plebiscite was held under the aus
pices Of an international commission,
against the watchfulness Of which the
wiles Of German propasandists were
vain.
Thus Schleswig passes back to Den
mark in consequence Of the first Of
the popular votes. The verdict will
be viewed with satisfaction every
where bat in Germany.

The Lexington Mob.

mobs rs that the law is slow; that in
the matter Of delays PERSONS charged
with even the tlackest of crimes are
favored; that by such processes JUS.
tee is Knocked and sometimes dc.

This excuse cannot be offered in
the ease of the Lexington mob. The
law had not been slow. but Of record
speed. The accused had been prompt.
ly run down, and guilt established by
his own confession. Indictment, trial
conviction and sentence had followed
swiftly. An early day next month
had been set for the execution. Moth
ing was lacking to show the zeal and
capacity of the authorities in the
business.
But the mob would not wait. 1t
sought to brush the law aside, and put
the criminal to death by violence. 1t
ticfcd the armed guards, and rushed
upon it's fate.

met and repulsed the onset. Several
members of the mob we're killed and

was protected and order preserved.

although convicted Of the most her
rible of crimes, Was entitleL to their

coming lawless themselves.
