KILOGRAMS
ST. CROIX STA LION.

London. March 12th.-Lord Curzon's
speech or the Turkish problem AMI other
official statements on the subject are
generally regarded as, showing that the
Near East tangle is quite a serious one
and is causing the authorities some
anxiety, W1.ich is increased by the CON
"plicatiOns threatened in cOnnectICr with
Syria and .ues) potamia. The shadow of
Indian and MOSiem opinion darkens the
problem, and it is believed influences
the Councils OF the Allies moro than Is
always Immediately apparent. L e sug-
geSti0n that the employment OF force
against the Turks might excite the gen
erai hostility Of the Mussulman world
is regarded as one which cannot be
safely ignored.
Montreal, March 18th. A special ca
bic to the Montreal Star from London
says that the irish correspondent Of the
Daily Graphic teIe9raphs that big guns
are arriving in Dublin and that the
stree are being patrolIed by armoured
cars. Exc tement is reported to be
high.
Berlin, March 11th.-The "Deutsche
Zeitun2" reports that when the Ger
ran lonalists offered Field Marshal
Won l~-.ndenourg the candidature of the
German Presidency, he asked for time to
consider and to consult the former En-
peror to wnom he had sworn allegiance,
according TO a despatch to the London
Times. AS he since accepted the candi-
dature the despatch adds, it is clear
that the ex-Kaiser's opinion still carries
weight in the Reich's Party.
London, March 11th.-The defeat to-
day of the direct action proposal by the
Trades Union Congress must be regard
ed as having three important effects.

London. Mach 18th. : The Ulster
tJnionist Council in deciding in favour of
six Ulster counties for the Ulster Par
lament, reluc .antly exc uda,l tn coun-
ties of Cavan, MONAGHAN and Dor Ggal,
but political considerations render this
course advisable, a good working MAORI
ty being assured in the smaller area.
The Times" thinks that, judged by
what was involved in the meaning Of
unionism, Sir Edward Carson has suffer-
ed a humiIiatlng defeat. and that his
failure raises the question whether he
has not made a fundamental effort in
strategy. The paper regards the Ulster
Councils decision with profound disap-
pointment, and behind it the selfshnass
of Great Brjtaia's Interests, rather lhan
the spirit of a living and progressive pol
icy. The Daily MaipsIrish correspondent
thinks that there will now probably be a
demand for tbs offer Of aRominion, with
County option 70 meet the Ulster pied
ges, and Sir Horace Pluckett, in a letter
to the Press defending the suggested
Constituent Assembly method of solution,
expresses the belief that if the Govt.
offered DominIon status to Ireland and
, 1920-03-25

the majority waived their demand for a
Republic conditionalIy on listers agree
ing to negotiate upon a Dominion basis,
the Home Rule situation would be trans
formed. The Manchester Guardian
discussing the decision of the Ulster
Unionist Council, says: "A nine county
Ulster would III every way be better than
a six county. It's Roman Catholic DOM
latlon would nearly balance it's protest
anT, and in no long time il would jnevita-
bly, come to terms with It's southern
neighbours, and thus give some substance
to the shad " of a united Ireland"
London, March 11th.-An official mott
tlcatl0n announces the accession to he
League Of Nations of Switzerland. Dan
mark Sweden, MOI way and Holland. All
but two, namely Salvador and Venezuela.
OF the thirteen nations, nOn-signatorles
ito the Versailles Treaty. who were IN
Nlfed to become original members of the
League, have definitely accepted; Sal
Fad0r has signiied its intention of loin
ing the League, but Venezuela has not
yet declared its intention.
Washington, March 12th.-More shin
ping was saved by keeping track of Ger
man submarines and b routing vessels
clear Of them than 10 any other simple
measure, Rear Admiral Sims told the
Senate lnvestiga ing Committee TODAY.
n Admlrai's statement was in support
OF his charges thar the Navy Dept. had
a fundamental misconception of the
problem of defending home waters, in
keeping the American na,al forces on
this side of the Atlantic, rather than
by giving a whole hearted and vigorous
cooperation to the Allies. Actual ex-
perien"e has shown, the witness con-
%tinues, that we could depend upon keep
ing a reasonably accurate track of all
submarines at sea. We were certain we
would never have TO deal with more than
one or two submarines at a time on our
w coast, and it was possible to do
a great deal toward providing for the
safety OF shipping in our own home wa
terS without any anti-submarine craft
at all He had received cahlegrams an
nounclng the departure from Germany
of a raide" for the American coast which
We're sent more than three weeks be-
fore the vessel appeared in American
waters. The messages, he said. were
remarkable tor the accuracy with which
every move u the enemy was foretoId
adding that they were founded on ahso-
lutte information obtained by the British
Admiralty. This ploveds, he argued. the
soundness of his loriqinal recommends
