by n reporter of Every Evening today
There is great deal Of uncertainty every
where and nobody knows from day to
day what is going 10 happen. The action
of one party is followed by a reprisal ot
another, and so the thing keeps on.
England has one set of courts and the
Sim Fein have another, and II the re-
suits were not so fatal the thing would
be comedy.
This condition cannot continue always.
England must reconquer Ireland or get
out entirely. There Is IN Ireland today q
large party of moderates who are working
for n compromise, such As dominion rule.
Under this rule Ireland would govern
itself rs Canada does. The Sim Fein re
fuse 10 touch IL and want complete IN
dependence, and Lloyd George is working
on Home Rule bill Of his own.
Business is almost at standstill m the
sections Of the country through which he
travelled Father Temple reported. No
one is willing to invest any money IN new
projects on account Of the uncertainty
Insurance rates are at an unheard o'
height. Conditions have changed great

BREAD MUST COME DOWN.
Profiteering Bakers May Feel Heavy

BY Associated Press to Every Evening
Washington, Oct. S.-Bread prices are
due TO drop. Cutting OF the prices Of
-four, due to the slump in wheat, caused
Department of Justice officials TO con-
slider the matter of revoking certain agree
ments now in effect with bakeries.
The bakers, under the plea of increased
costs of production, growing largely out
of the higher war costs of flour, induced
officials of the Department of Justice to
sanction an agreement in all parts Of the
country, for higher prices. Officials are
convinced no further justification exists
for present bread prices.
Charges are being Investigated. Bakers
in large number of instances reduced the
size of the loaves after being given per-
mission to advance the costs. Such vio-
lation can be reached under the Lever law
