lRepublican A. p. Leased wirel

NEW YORK, Mafch 29-The league of nations must become a political is sue and continue as such until the American people themselves decide it' for no other decision will be accepted by some of the men who have been making the struggle at Washington in the last nine months" Senator Hiram Johnson of California, declared in an address tonight.
 Asserting the United States wants no foreign dictation, Senator Johnson attacked the league of nations coyen- ant as an instrument tending to cause wars instead of preventing them. He assailed article 10, which guarantees the integrity of league members from external aggression, read the reserva- ton to the article offered in the sen ate, which President Wilson had de- clared ''cut the heart out of the cove nant'' and added:
 We in the senate replied to him that if that cuts the heart out of the covenant. we will cut the heart out of the covenant
 My brand of Americanism.' he con tinued. regards our Siberian enter prise as a typical abhorent. concrete illlustra ton of what the league of na- tions will mean to Americans down the generations, and of what lies be- hind all the smooth diplomatic phrases. all the fatuous, pretended idealism which describes a compact that binds us definitely to go to war as treaty that will keep us out of war
 sThe Americanism in which I be- lieve and which l preach. would main tain America as the arbfter of her own destiny. It would hold this republic inviolate against the wiles of Euro pean and Asiatic diplomacy and would refuse to make the republic subordi- nate to any junta of diplomats sitting in Geneva or elsewhere.
 Senator Johnson urged the neces- sity of s'decentraliziTg from the ad- ministration those great war powers accorded it for the purpose of success in war" thereby removing that great autocracy in this country. in one man."

LONDON, March 29.-Official in quiries in Ireland have proved beyond doubt that Thomas MacCurtain, lord mayor of Cork, assassinated a week ago Saturday night, was actually a victim of sim Fein vengeance says the Daily Mail.
 It declares it has obtained it's infor- nation on "unimpeachable authority
 Lord Mayor MacCurtain and six other prominent men who were ex- pelled from the inner circle of the Sim Fein and condemned as untrustworthy to the cause were doomed to death. the newspaper says. Of the seven, Lord Mayor MacCurtain was the first to be killed. Another. Professor Stockley, was shot at four times but escaped. A third man, unidentified, was found blindfolded and shot to death at Lime rick. The remaining four are still alive as far as known.
 Tt appears" the paper declares. ''that the Sim Fein inner circle or ganized an attack on mail van in Dublin March 3 and the men sent to do the work secured correspondence which was being forwarded to Dublin castle. Whether there was found any thing duplicating the seven expelled men is not quite clear, but apparently there is good ground for this view. Two days after the attempt to murder Professor Stockley. Lord Mayor Mac Curtain, who. although Sim Feiner had strongly denounced the Sim Fein campaign. was Killed There is no doubt in the minds of Irish officials that his murdererS were Sim Feiners acting under order of the inner ring of the Irish republican brotherhood.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-A posSi- bility that the supreme court might pass final judgment on prohibition questions before it by the middle of next month, was seen by some observ- CTS today in the amendment that the court recess to be taken after argu- ments on these cases, probably tomor- row, would extend to April 19 instead of April 12. The opinion was expressed that decision might be rendered inn mediately when the court reconyenes.
 Further argument questions touching on validity of the constitu tional amendment and the enforcement act, was presented today. They were in connection with the original suit brought by New Jersey as well as ap peals from that state and from Wis consin. Rhode Island, Kentucky and Massachusetts eases have already been argued and will be considered at the same -titne.

BERLIN, March %. - Chancellor Mueller in a speech outlining his pro- gram told the national assembly today that "the reactionary elements in the army will be swept away with an iron broom
 No quarter will be shown military leaders who violated their oath in the recent revolution. said the chancellor. Peace treaty terms were responsible for the reactionary sentiment still prevailing in many quarters. he added. and asserted the government would oppose the French demand for allied occupation of Frankfort, Darmstadt and other cities, in return for the priv ilege of sending German troops into the neutral zone. The government. he continued, does not propose to sub jecct these peaceful communities to the 'terrors of occupation"
 The new government was fully rep resented. Gustav Noske, former min- ister of defense and Dr. Schiller, for mer minister of justice, occupied seats with their party factions. The as- sembly recessed two hours to permit the parties to prepare their responses to Dr. Mueller's speech.

HEARING THE WORST.

from the people in regard to piiing up
the county debt.
Newark knows the worst. 1t is that
the tax rate there for 1920 will be
S.75, the highest in that eity's history
and an increase of thirty-ive points
over last years rate. At the same
time it is explained that an Increase of
$4,000 900 in Newark's ratables is
responsible for keeping he rate below
400.
Down in Monmouth county they
have learned the worst. County
ratables there have been jumped over
three and o half million dollars yet in
spite of that the county tax rate shows
an increase of approximately fifty
cents per thousand over last year..
And pretty soon the people of Mid
dlesex county will know the worst.
1t is now known that the county tax
rate here will show a decided in
crease. Yet the f~reeholders instead of
straining every effort to keep the
taxes down, are working tooth and
