The New British Ambassador Has
Proved Himself Skilled in the
Methods Of His Superior.

Washington, May 4.-The following
statement was recently issued by
Daniel T. O'Connell, director of the
Friends Of Irish Freedom, National
Bureau:
Those who know of the hypocrisy
of Mr.. Lloyd George are not surprised
that Sir Auckland Geddes, the new
English Ambassador to the United
States, should on arriving proclaim in
one breath his ambition to develop
the mutual respect and understanding
between this country and the British
Empire and in the next make to the
American public a formal statement
on the attitude of British officialdom
toward Ireland which fairly reeks
with insincerity. AS Lloyd Georges
spokesman in America, the British
Ambassador has proved himself
skilled in the methods of his superior
If Sir Auckland is to be believed,
all England desires is that 1rishmen
be given an opportunity to work out
their own salvation without interfer-
ence from the outside. Yet, every
American knows that this is exactly
what Lloyd George does not intend
to allow them.
In 1913 and in 1914 when settle

that time, satisfied the great mass Of
the Irish people, and which was q

That Ireland is "a country rich in

strength of the Carson movement was

men has steadily refused to quarrel
with Ireland
That, in a sense, is true; there is
no quarrel between the English people
and the Irish people. But it is not
true that there is no quarrel between
Junkerism in England and the forces
of democracy in Ireland.
1t may, as Sir Auckland suggests,
take two to make a quarrel; but it
takes only one oppressor to oppress,
one conqueror to conquer, and one
tyrant to tyrannize.

intended. He has, by his bold asser.
tion that England holds Ireland for
military purposes, centered the atten.
tion of the world upon the real issue
which it faces. Ireland, as Sir Auck.
land 80 aptly points out, is military
and naval asset to England. Ireland
in English hands must always remain
a threat to America and to American
interests. Ireland in English hands
gives England control Of the main
trade-routes Of the world. Ireland in
English hands makes talk Of freedom
Of the seas q mockery.
If the British Ambassadors reason.

Of Ireland be followed to its logical
conclusion, the United States would
be fully justified in selling nearby
British possessions with their already
threatening naval bases and holding
them that America might be one

Jasper, September 26.--(Speci .)-A trip by your correspondent to the varl- ous mining towns of Walker county discloses that the men in this mining section are returning to work rapidly.
 For instance, at Gamble mines, ten more went to work on Friday and Sat urday ten or twelve more additions were made to the forces. The output of this mine has now reached abour 500 tons day.
 At Holly Grove, Tpwnley and su- rreme men are returning to work right along, while at Coal Valley, Patton and corona increases are noted regularly.
 The entire mining section seems quiet now. One of the notable features of trip to the various mines is the fact that almost nothing is heard of the recent sensational speeches made by union leaders in Birmingham. Many Of the men spoken to had not even heard of them and so far as could be Judged from the visit no effect was being produced by these tactics, at least in Walker county.

Boston, September 26-The results Of the annual election of Rhodes scholars to represent the United States at the University of Oxford were announced today by Prof. Frank Aydelotte of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, American secretary of the Rhodes trus- tees.

Next year the quota for the United States will be thirty two, and two-thirds of the states will elect one man each, while those which this year made two appointments will have no election.
 The selections were made by commit tees representing nearly 800 former scholars now living in this country About 800 men were candidates for the appointments. The increased interest in the scholarships in this country is par- alleled by the favorable arrangements now in force for their reception in OK LOIQ.
