Special to The Times.)

Stra4ford. April l9---W4th the i'm come of the town for the coming year $22 600 short of what will be nee essary to meet the obligation of the community the town officials are some what alarmed over the situation, and it is expected that a meeting of all of the officials of the town will be held in the near future to discuss ways and means for the raising of this amount. This condition of af- fairs is because the grand list of the town was not raised as requested Oy the members of the board of finance to the $16, COG, 990 mark which was found necessary to cover running ex- penses. The outcome of the joint meeting of the officials may be that a special town meeting wfN be called when a. special tax may be laid to meet the deficiency, or it may be that more bonds will be issued now that the grand list has been increased to about $15, 900, 900. At any rate the money must be raised according to officials of the town and while the matter is at the present time rather serious it is expected that the difficult ties will be strengthened out sadsfac- toT4Gy to all.
 The dissatisfaction which was ap- parent among the members of the police force last week because Of or ders which compelled them to ring the clocks twice an hour has disap- fpeared owing to the orders having been modified.

People owning dogs are coming in very slowly to buy their dog tags, said A. T. Beasley, deputy. clerk in charge of this work. We have only thirteen days in which to issue these licenses and already three have passed and only 300 applications for tags have been received. Last year more than 12, 900 were sold in Jefferson county. and we expected to sell at least 1000 more this year, but from the amount of busi- ness done during the past three days we won't issue third as many as in 1919.
 We have installed additional hell for this work and are making every effort to have as many people come in early as possible so as to avoid the rush and congestion of the last few days.

Anti-Japanese Movement
 Has Far-reaching Effect

n TOKYO dispatch of the Associa- AA ted Press gives summary of Japanese opinion on the relations be- tween that country and the United States.
 The anti-Japanese movement in America is causing apprehension be- cause it is feared it will lead to the exclusion of Japanese elsewhere, par ticularly in British territory. It is believed that the Japanese question in California will settle itself if left alone. Exclusion would add to the resentment felt at America's course in checking Japan's encroachments on Chinese sovereignty and baking other far eastern schemes. There is no threat of war, but it is increasingly evident that Japan wants free hand in the far east.< Domestic unrest is giving her grave concern and she wants a place to dump her rapidly increasing population.
 There is little sympathy in Ameri- ca toward what Japan is pleased to term her legitimate expansion" in the far east, especially in China. The course of the Japanese government toward China has been imperialistic, regardless of the diplomatic language used in expressing its purposes. Japan wishes to dominate the far east and exploit China without hindrance, mak- ing that republic economically and politically subservient to her.

! GREY ON IRELAND

tions but because the Irish question itics and in our foreign affairs. While the world war has brought out new phases of Anglo American competition, it also has emphasized common inter- ests and dangers. Events in the Pacific.
 for example, and in Europe likewise, are carrying both the United States and

 operation, if not explicit alliance. may
 be essential The profit of an Anglo
 American understanding in certain im-
 portant fields of interest is already
 clear and the sooner 1t is reached the
 better for our peace and prosperity.
 The Irish problem retards this gravely
 and therefore is matter of concern to
 1evel-headed Americans and British alike.
 Present conditions in Ireland are hor- rifying from any point of view. We hope British statesmanship will be viz orous enough to end them promptly and in such a way as to permit the larger problems in which Irish, English, and Americans are all involved to be ad-s dressed and composed for our greater security and progress. We think Wis., count Grey sees this and we trust his view will prevail. The quicker the British government is out of Ireland the

w (SpeciaL)-The long fast of the
 lord mayor of Cork lends inter- est to the city over which he presided and the office which he held These are treated briefly in a bulletin issued by the National Geographic Society.
 "Cork, third city of Ireland" says the
 bulletin, bears very superficial re- sem blance to our own New Yorkf in that it's nucleus is situated on an island en- folded by two arms of a river where us waters meet a bay. The comparison soon
 becomes a contrast however, for Cork

Catastrophes Produced
 From Flying Dust

m URING the past two years nu- .lO merous catastrophes have been produced from flying dust. The Uni ted States bureau of chemistry points out that grist mill may be as dan gerous as powder factory.
 The strongest fire-proof grain ele- vator may be trent into twisted trusses from the explosion of mere dust particles" A spark from slip ping belt, the static electricity gener- ated by a machine in operation, or the heat generated in coating of dust on the outside of an incandescent light bulb may start the blast.
 In a single nine months such catas- trophes have occurred at the cost of eighty lives and the destruction of $7,000,000 in property. The United States department of agriculture, through it's dust explosion investiga- tions of the bureau of chemistry, has been able to locate the trouble and has set in motion agencies which have l already checked the epidemic of dis aster." It is promoting the co-opera- , tion of manufacturers and commercial bodies throughout the country to make the work complete.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 K DISCOUNT GREY'S statement on w the Irish situation will appeal to American opinion as sensible. With the exception of extremists, there is general recognition in the United States of the fact that complete sep aration of the two islands composing the British group cannot be expected. But short of secession from the imperial system, American opinion is uniformly sympathetic with Irish claims for a form of autonomy as complete as other constituents of the empire enjoy.
 Nationalist Americans appreciate on the one hand Irish aspirations for an unrestricted opportunity to develop their own institutions and resources and on the other hand England's deter
 imitation to protect itself against the !, establishment at its door of wholly | independent and possibly hostil nation. l They also appreciate the British dispo- sition to remind us that the Irish diff
 culty is as much their affair and as lit tie ours as southern secession was our affair and not Britain's.
 Nevertheless, thoughtful Americans, dealing not with theories but with con- ditions, are intensely anxious that the

T T Effect of Strike bv the Public

rn HE public went on a seriNe
 against the high cost of living and it began receding.
 The federal reserve system lent It's aid to stabilization by declining to handle paper based on luxuries and the boarding of manufactured stuff held in warehouses. That protected merchants more than it served the people. The latter were serving themselves by declining to buy be- yond pressing necessities.
 If the federal reserve system had not come to the rescue of legitimate business by putting a crimp in the boarding and mounting process there would have been a smash reverberat- ing from one end of the country to the other, because there would have been so little buying by the consumer that when, realization day came nei- ther wholesaler nor retailer would have been able to square accounts. The Wall Street Journal says:
 From Rochester comes an<an-
 nouncement of material reduction
 in ready made clothing. Call this
 deflation if you will, but it is only
 another evidence of the public's re-
 fusal to pay unjust prices for com
 modities People need clothes and shoes as much as ever, but, in
 stead of buying beyond actual
 needs, they put the money in the
 savings banks. Index prices and
 bank reports prove this
 Happily, business has perceived the attitude of the people. Really big men like Wood, of the wool trade acknowledged it in the fixing of his autumn price schedule. Henry Ford followed. Bingham mills were not far behind.
 The country is far better off to- day with lower prices than it would have been without the cooperation of 2 the people and the federal reserve system.
