Asquith denounced rcprisals, saying
the governments policy was one of
blind, pitiless, indiscrimnate re-
venge." Justice has been put in the
background; vengeance has been en-
throned in its place" he said
Asquith intimated that no possible
faith could be placed in statements by
Sir Hamar Greenwood, Chief Secretary
for Ireland.
A dramatic story was given out to
the newspapers by Dublin Castle TO-
day of the near capture Of Sim
Fein chief of staff in raid Tuesday
on a house on the north side in Dublin.
The chief of staff was forced to flee
over the garden wall in his night
shirt. 1t was limited that the papers
relating to the use of typhoid germs to
poison British troops and the innocu-
lation of horses with CHAMBERS, re-
ferred to yesterday by Greenwood, were
.ound on that occasion.
1t could be pointed out, however,
that report, alleging such discovery

London by an evening paper before the
dublin raid occurred. One newspaper
suggests covertly that the government
sometimes gets its propaganda mixed.

LONDON, Nov. 1e.-Despite reit-
Grated reports from French sources
that Great Britain and France would
unite to oppose the return of ex-King
Constantine to the Greek throne and,
possibly, might even sever diplomatic
relations with Athens, the Tribune
correspondent learned tonight that
British official quarters are definitely
in favor of policy of non-interference
If the proposed plebiscte proves to be
Heavily in favor of Constantine.
Pending the holding of plebiscite
no steps will be taken. 1t is under
stood that the diplomatic representa-
tives of Great Britain in the Balkans
have been instructed to follow a wait
ing policy for the present
1t Is Their Funeral
The view in London is that Constan-
tine will not attempt to return 30
Greece unless popular sentiment there
is overwhelmingly in his favor. Should
sentiment prove to be thus, the whole
matter will be regarded by Great Bri-
tain as purely Greek domestic ques-
ton. and "it is their funeral, not ours y
1t would seem, therefore, that if the
British and French are in as complete
agreement as Paris reports say, the
joint policy will not be as aggressive
as the French believe
The hope is expressed in this city
that the popular vote in the plebiscite
will not be decisively enough in favor
of Constantine to induce him to return
to the throne.

Sioux Falls, June 11.-There are
two well known Sioux Falls young
men who are considerable wiser, if
somewhat poorer, by an unpleasant
experience of recent occurrence.
Tempted by the high prices which
whiskey is bringing in Sioux Falls,
and hearing of the success of several
blockade runners" in successfully
slipping over the boundary line be-
tween Canada and the United States,
the two youths decided to engage in
the game of blockade running"
The first thing they did was to
secure two high power automobiles.
The next was to load their pockets
with good old hard cash. Then the
two high financiers departed for the
Canada border and made a safe trip
across the border. They soon parted
with their cash and in its place had
two good sized car loads of Canada
booze" The young men had either
failed to post themselves on Canadian
laws, or starting out on law break
ing trip decided to pay no more at
tention to the Canadian registration
laws than they did for the bone dry"
prohibition laws of the United States.
The two men failed to register in
Canada as the law provides. They
were grabbed by the Canadian
mounted police charged with failure
to register, and before they could
extricate themselves from the meshes
of the Canadian laws, ,they found sew
eral cases stacked UP against them,
one for carrying concealed weapons.
Both were finally given their liberty
but the Canadian government confis-
Gated the two automobiles and the
cargo of booze. 1t is hardly likely
that the two young men referred to
will repeat their recent trip, which
it is claimed will cost them some
thing like $4,000, besides a mighty
unpleasant experience.

Tribunals to Settle
Labor Disputes

Washington, June 1.-Two pro-
posals dealing with the right of en-
ployees of public service corporations

the United States chamber of com
merce to vote of the commercial
organizations comprising its member
ships.
The two recommendations drafte !
by the chambers public utilities com

of all public service corporations per-
forming a service essential to tho
lives. health, well-ebing and comfort
of the people should be explicitly pro.
hibited by law and that suitable tri-
bunals should be created by law t6
adiudicate differences between such
employees and their employers, deci'
sion to be final and binding on both
parties.
The committee, commenting on the
anti-strike provisions originally IL
the Cummins transportation bill
states that "these. or similar provi
sions should be made law, not only a.
to railroads but as well to all public
utilities"
