WHO WILL PAY FOR
IRISH REPR|SALS?
QUESTION OF DAMAGES NOW
AGITATING IRISH TAXPAYERS
OF WAR TOWN LAND.

DUBLIN-(By A. P.)-Taxpayers
in Ireland are agitatel oven the ques-
ton who is to pay the damages re-
sulting from ~reprisals committed by
the "Black and Tans," or semi-mili-
tary forces, employed by the govern
ment to suppress Sim Fem disorders.
The total amount of damages re-
sulting from Sim Fem disorders, and
reprisals by orangemen and govern
ment agents in Ireland, is estimated
to be nearly 100000 L. Already
awards amounting to 10000 900 L. for
damages inflicted by the Sim Fem
ers have been assessed against the
taxpayers.
The law prescribes that the tax
payer shall pay for all willful damage
to property or life maliciously in
flicted. The county judges who pass
upon claims arising from damages in
BLACK and Tan" reprisals have grant
ed awards to the claimants and at
tempted to make them the charge
against the local authorities. They
have, however, indicated in their
judgments that they believe the gov
eminent should make good the losses
caused by it's own servants.

all who call on this trip consultation

animation fee, except the expense
of treatment when desired.
According to his method of treat
ment he does not operate for chronic
appendicitis, gall stones, ulcers of
stomach, tonsils or adenoids.
:. He has to his credit many wonderful
results in diseases of the stomach,

If you have been ailing for any

The principal taxpayers in Ireland
are for the most part Unionists who
are the largest property holders and
would be hardest hit if the taxpayers
were compelled to pay these damages
claims. While they are anxious to
help the government put down dis
order, many disapprove of the Black
and Tan reprisals and are unwilling
to pay for the consequences of them.
The Irish Times, the principal
Unionist newspaper, demands that
the government shall make a clear
public statement that the obliga-
ton to compensate for murder, ar
son and robbery committed by the
servants of the government is &C
acknowledged by the government and
will be promptly met"
The government paid the bill of
about 100000 l.. for the damage
suffered by the city of Dublin in the
Easter week rebellion and this is
pointed to as a precedent for similar
action in the matter of Black and
Tan reprisals.
1t is expected that the government
will also be asked to pay for the
damage inflicted by the Sim Feiners
to which awards amounting to $780,
900 L. already have been made by
judges. Besides there is a
bill for the damage done by orange
men in Ulster towns.

SECOND ANNUAL AC BAWL
DANCE NOVELTY OF YEAR
True Rural Spirit Shown At Farmers
Harvest Dance. Ginghams and
DENNIS Lend Realism.

The second annual Ag Bawl, given
by the College of Agriculture, in the
Gym Saturday night, was undoubted-
ly one Of the most enjoyable social
events of the year. The Gym was a
| scene of true rusticity and charmed
by it's novelty and artistic decorations.
Moonlight waltzes formed a goodly
part of the numbers, and the rudy
moon in the West beamed benighnly
on the farmers and farmerettes. AT
other times, grotesque lanterns shed
a soft radience over the old gym,
making it seem a truly rural COM
munity.
Costums pore out the general idea
of a farmers dance, and giugbam
dresses and aprons and denim dress
suits added much to the charm of the
rural scene.
Two novel features of the evening
were the browning of the Harvest
Queen and character readings by DR..
Williamson. Miss Naomi Chapman
was escorted to her throne of straw,
and after a few remarks by Mr..
Bennett relative to the share that
women are playing in the field OF
agriculture, the crown of wheat was

BIG CONVENTION.

BERLIN-(By A. P.)The first Con
gress of Shop Soviets recently helt
here refused to go on record as favor
ing the Soviet government of Russia
There was a sharp clash between the
Communist and Independent Social
lists over the question but the motion
was voted down. About 1000 dele
gates attended the meeting.
The workers in the German indus
trial and commercial establishments,
who are now given an active voice in
administration of them were impress
ed in the congress with the need of
conserving raw products so THAI Ger
many may produce sufficient finish
cd commodities to enable her to es-
tiblish credits abroad with which to
pay for the importation Of the most
necessary food and raw materials.
Rudolph Wissel, formerly Minister
Of Economics, said that German textile
and iron industries were in need of
foreign supplies. The 28,000,0 900 tons
of ore which Germany formerly OBJ
tanned from Alsace-Lorraine and Lux
emberg, must To- be produced thru
foreign credits. The Versailles Treaty
had deprived the nation Of oDe-third
of its grain producing areas while the
remaining soil had been Impoverished
by intensified wartime cultivation and
lack of fertilizers.
The former Minister ascribed the
present economic crisis to underpro-
duction, denying that 1t was due to
over-consumption and he declared
that Germany would be forced to sub
sist on small rations for a long time.

AUSTRIAN RULERS
WEALTH FOR POOR
ESTATE TO BE DIVIDED FOR USE
OF WOUNDED SOLDIERS AND
THEIR FAMILIES.

VIENNA-(By A. A.)-The vast es-
tates of the late Emperor Francis
Joseph will be devoted to the pension
fund of invalid soldiers under a de-
cision just taken by the cabinet coun-
ell. Certain castle and dwellings in
this city and the nearby suburb OF
Baden will either be occupied by them
or the fund will receive the rentals
and other accruments.
Included in the arrangement are
the splendid estates of Ortiz, Vossen-
dorf, Maltighoefen, Poeggstall, Aug
gonton, Laxenburg, Hetzendorf, and
many others, the decision also over
ing the Lainz Tiergarten, near Vienna,
on which a group of some hundreds of
formers soldiers recently squatted.
The income of the Prater, Vienna's
most famous suburban park with it's
numerous restaurants and amusement
places is also included. Many of the
etates contain model farms and others
are under rentals of much value.
The late Emperor Francis Joseph,
who died in 1916, bequeather 60,000,-
900 crows from his private fortune to
a fund for wounded soldiers, invalids
and relatives of men killed in the war.
To two daughters and one grand
daughter he bequeathed 20,000,0 600
ROY each, the remaining 100000 900
of his estate to be divided
among several other legatees.
1t has since been reported that an
American-Dutch company has bought
he Emperor's summer palace at Is
,hl, in the Tyrol, for hotel purposes.
The hunting estates and lodges of the
ate Emperor in the Tyrol were ad-
for sale in January last.
Joseph considered these the
