 The reduction will apply to about 100, 600 operatives
 The posting of notices of the reduction at the largest. cotton mills in Lawrence was duplicated in large number of Massachusetts, Maine and Rhode Island cities. In some instances the amount of the reduction was not specified, out it was understood that it would be ap- proximately the same in all cases.
 Amoskeag mills of Manchester, N. H., one of the largest cotton and worsted iaian actzring plants in the country, ani offer mills in New Hampshire have not

ORIGIN NOT ESTABLISHED

London, December 13.-Sir Hamar Green wood, chief secretary for Ireland. in answering questions in the House of Commons today with regard to the Cork conflagration,, said it was not known by whom the fires were started, but he pro- tested strongly against suggestions, with out any evidence, that the fires had been started by forces of the crown.
 There was no evidence to that effect. declared Sir Hamar, and it was obvious to anybody, he said, that fires of this kind were the only possible arguments to be used against the governments policy ir Ireland Sir Hamar declared there was not the slightest evidence to con- firm reports that three civilians in Cork had been dragged from their houses and shot, or that the hose of the fire brigade had been cut and the firemen fired upon. Every available policeman and the mill itary had turned out to assist the fire men, he added
 There was some evidence, said the chief secretary, that the fires had been start cd with incendiary bombs. There were no ineendiaFN bombs in the progression of the military, he Asserted but the Sim Feiners had such bombs. He be- lieved he said. that the fires had nothing to do with the ambush of the military lorry.

gard to reservations of the frame work of the league was not revealed nor would either comment on the results of the conference except to say that no con- clusions had been reached. It was tn- dicated MT. Harding was attempting to form no opinion for the present but was content to gather information and ad- vice.
 Concident with Mir Roots visit, it be- came known that Colonel George liar vey. the New York editor, who has been the guest of the President-elect since Saturday, is urging MT. Harding to ad- vocate a world agreement that no nation would resort to offensive warfare until it's people had so decided by referendum, Colonel Harvey did~not indicate to what degree his proposal had been approved, but he expressed hope that some such provision would be written into any world association sponsored by the com ing administration.
 BRYAN MAIN ADVOCATE
 The war referendum proposal has been advanced many times during the peace treaty fight and several reservations en- bodying it were introduced in the Sen ate. One of it's leading advocates has been William J. Bryan, who is to confer with MT. Harding Friday. After his talk with the President-elect, MT. Root would make no comment except to say that the interview had been very de- lightful and interesting" In reply to re- peated questions on specific subjects, he reverted to his original description of the conference, giving no indication whether domestic problems or such subjects as cabinet appointments were discussed. Except for the cordial manner of the conference, his visit threw no light on reports that he might be asked to De- come Secretary of State in the Harding administration.
 In presenting the details of the new world court, which was unanimously adopted today by the assembly o~ rne League of Nations, the former secretary is understood to have suggested that considerable step toward peace might be taken by amending arbitration treaties the world over so that justifiable ques- tions would all be referred to the tri- bunal for decision. There are about 2oo such treaties now in existence, but most

Famous Old Recipe for Cough Syrup
Easily and cheaply made st home, but it beats them all for
 quick results.


 Thousands of housewives have found that they can save two-thirds of the money usually spent flor cough prepara- tions, by using the well-known old recipe for making cough syrup at home. It is simple and cheap but it has no equal for prompt results. It takes right hold of a cough and gives immediate relief. usually stopping an ordinary cough in 24 hours or less.
 Get 21a ounces of Pinex from any druggist, pour it into a pint bottle and add plain granulated sugar syrup to make full pint. If you prefer, use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, 1t tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts family long time.

 BASIS OF THEORY
 The Emitted States produces more than II consumes. The prosperity of the Lnitsd States is dependent largely upon the purchasing power of Europe. It is vainehSs to lend Europe money to fissays6s American imports into European countries, when Europe is producing nothing which can pay off the indebted ness of these imports. If Europe were to pay today in low tax imports to this country, the effect of these imports would be but further curtailment Of American production.
 MT. Hoover looks further into the Euro pean situation than mere temporary re- lief to those who have goods and food stuffs ready for import at this moment. He believes the upbuilding of the Euro pean markets on sound basis of credit and purchase is a slow game. He woulh have America begin by investing capital in European industries and utilities III the belief that an added money-making power in Europe would lead to an added demand for American imports.
 During his talks in Marion, Mr. Hoover indicated rather plainly that his mind does not run along completely with the best minds in the republican party respecting European affairs.
 Mir Hoover has been regarded as see ing Europe through European eyes rather than American eyes, but in any event his European experience appar- entIy is regarded highly by Mr. Harding and he will be consulted again before any decision is made respecting the for eign policy of the United States.

HARDING HOLDSA FOUR-HOUR TALK

International Relations and Prospect of Acceptable World Association Hold Center

Marion, Ohio. December 13.-President- elect Harding today discussed the prob lens of his administration with Elihu Root, a former Secretary of State and one of the most notable of the nations s elder statesmen.
 International relations and the pros pect for an acceptable world peace as sociation held the center of attention in their four-hour talk, MT. Harding draw ing exhaustively upon the recent exper- fence of his visitor as an adviser abroad in the formation of a world court under the Versailles league. The rresident- elect asked many questions about details of the court plan and about the present attitude of European statesmen toward the league

doing occasionally, to answer the pre- mier's speech, but even this is con- sidered unlikely, as the disposition is to ignore what he said.
 It is pointed out that the imposition of n artial law in the southern counties Of Ireland adds little to the existing powers of the government, as those counties al- ready have had an experience of unre- stricted military rule. The only novel feature is that which prescribes the pen- alty of death to anybody found in pos session of~arms or harboring persons es- capng.
 There are many in Ireland who even welcome the imposition of martial law as fixing the definite responsibility on the military and the areas to which 1t applies.

WOULDN'T PREVENT WAR
 He added that the court, as planned by the commissions, of which he was a member, probably would not prevent wars of policy, such as the recent World war, but would go long way toward removing the element of danger from questions arising from real difference oil opinion. The court, he explained, would have Jurisdiction only when both lit igants agreed to put their quarrel in it's hands.
 In all of his contemplation of world association of nations, MT. Harding has had in mind some such international court and in outlining his campaign poi icy on the league he suggested that The Hague tribunal might furnish the basis for such an institution. The Hague court is not a permanent one, however, and has more of the aspects of diplo- matic conference than of a legal estab- lishment.
 Tomorrow the Presdent-elect will talk over the league and other questions with Governor William c. Sproul of Penn sylvania and w. w. Atterbury, vice president of the Pennsylvania railroad, who was head of the American govern ment's railway system in France during the war

Estate Case Is Settled.

Milwaukee, June 15.-An order is
sued, in county court empowering the
Pacific Mutual Life Insurance com
pany to pay to Mrs. Gertrude Loui, 483
Twenty-eighth street, $4,000 as ad-
ministratrix Of the estates of George,
Ada and James NJ. Stack, brought to
an end the probating of One of the
most, complicated estates ever brought
before the Milwaukee county court.
George and Ada Stack were vaude-
VILE actors, making their home in this
city. They were killed in cyclone at
Elgin, Ill., On March %, 1920. When it
was found they had been insured in
the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
company from death by accident, the
policy providing that in case of death
caused by falling walls, or by cy-
clone, the indemnity SHOULD be dou-
bled. Mrs. Stack was also insured
against death BY cyclone for $4,000.
The case was adjusted by a conpro-
mise of all the claimants.
