GREAT DAMAGE IN REPRISALS
 AGAINST IRISH

DUBLIN, Nov. 10 (by Associated Press s.)-Taxpayer in Ireland are agitated over the question who is to pay for the damages resulting from reprisals committed by the "Black and Tans," or semi-military force, employed by the government to suppress Sim Fein disorders.
 The total amount of damages re- sulting from Sim Fein disorders, and reprisals by orangemen and gov ernment agents in Ireland, is esti- mated to be nearly G10,000, ,000. Already awards amounting to &5,- 000,000 for damages inflicted by the Sim Feiners have been assessed against the taxpayers.
 The law prescribes that the tax payers shall pay for all willful dam, age to property or life maliciously conflicted. The county Judges who pass upon claims arising iron! dam ages in Black and Tan reprisals have granted awards to the claimants and attempted to make them the charge against the local authorities. They have, however, indicated in their judgments that they believe the government should make good Ihe losses caused by it's owr. servants.
 The principal taxpayers in Ire land are for the most part Union ists who are the largest property holders and would be hardest hit if the taxpayers were compelled to pay these damage claims. While they are anxious to help tho government put down disorder, many disapprove of the Black and Tan reprisals and are unwilling to pay for the conse- quences of them.
 The Irish Times, the principal Un- iOnist newspaper, demands that the government shall make a clear puh- lie statement that the obligation to compensate for murder, arson and robbery committed by the servants of the government and will be promptly met"
 The government paid the bill of about e3,000,OOO for the damage suf- fered by the city of Dublin in the

SKACWAY HAS FAST
 BASKETBALL TEAM

SKAGWAY, Nov. 1.-The basket ball season opened in Skagway with a game between the home team and Fort Seward. Some very good plays were made on both sides, the game going in favor of Skagway. From start to finish the playing was ex- ceptionally clean and sportsmanlike. After the game few hours were spent in dancing.
 The White Pass and Yukon river boats, which were stranded down the river, owing to ice and shallow water are on their way up the Yukon to Whitehorse, and are ex- pected to arrive there soon This season has been the worst the White Pass has ever known. In other years there have been ice jams to prevent progress of river traffic but never before has there been such shallow water.
 A special train was sent out from here to Whitehorse to bring over President Elliott and General Man ager Wheeler of the White Pass route. They left for the south on the Princess Mary.
The Cordova daily times., 1920-11-11

Easter week rebellion and this is pointed to as precedent for simi- lar action in the matter of Black and Tan reprisals.
 It is expected that the govern ment will also be asked to pay for the damage inflicted by the Sim Feiners to which awards amounting to $5,OQO,O0O already have been made by county judges. Besides there is a bill for the damage done by orangemen in Ulster towns.

There were not great number; they
did not march with laundering tread.
or as men leading a great charge But
with faltering steps they came-white
haired, slow of tread, but still like an
army with banners. which moved men
to tears. and thoughts of deeds of
valor.
And with them moved a host; Lee
and Jackson and Johnston, and thou
sands of others who had worn the grey,
men of years and beardless youth; one
felt their presence, in the house of
prayer and later at the monument to
the Confederate dead.
Each year we try to show them-to
say something that they may know,
how dearly we love them, how highly
we reserve them--but words are futile
and even our feeble deeds of remem-
brance" are inadequate.
To those who fell long, long ago on
the field of action, we pay our hom-
age. But these. these men who fought
through the war, and thez4 came back
TO build their broken homes-these
are unconquerable.
No country in the world has so great
cause to be proud of its soldiers as has
