 LONDON, Sept. 29.-Sir Homer Greenwood, Chief Secretary for Ire land, today announced that the Gov ernment neither connived nor sup ported police reprlsals in Ireland.
 DUBLIN. Sept zaa---(By The Assa ciated Press.) Gen. Sir Neville Mac. ready, commander of the military forces in Ireland, denies that repris- als for the assassination of police taken at Balbriggan by the black and tans" and elsewhere by the regu- lar police and military, were actu- ated by any set plan or policy form ulated by the Government. He de- clared however that if the guerilla warfare of the Irish republican army continues, the situation might become such that reprisals might be nee essary.
 He said military forces in Ireland had nothing to do with the admins tration of operations of the Royal Irish Constabulary and it's British auxiliary, the Black and Fans, " other than to give them necessary support in carrying out their police operations.
 Discussing the Government atti- tude toward the Cork hunger strikers, he said

JAMES KNOX POLK was the first
y dark horse to win the presidential
race, and his figure remains among
the pale shadows in the procession OF
presidents across the pages of history.
When he was yet a boy the family
of James X. Polk moved from North
Carolina to Tennessee, where he was
too frail for frontier farming and was
put to work behind the counter of a
crossroads store. After n time In that
excellent preparatory school of life he
returned to his native state to enter
college, and he graduated from the
University of North Carolina.
Becoming a country lawyer. he was
sent to the Tennessee legislature; mar
ried Sarah Childress. daughter of a
well-to-do man of business, and went
to congress for IA years. in the course
Of which he became first the Jackson
leader of the house and finally speaker.
Next he took his seat as governor of
Tennessee for a term. After having
been twice defeated In his effort to

Wing convention at Baltimore those

the trick was easy, since anyone could
have guessed who the Wing nominee
would be. Three weeks afterward,
when the inventor at the capital
spelled out the name of Polk as the
Democratic nominee the doubling
Thomases were convinced that he was
a fraud. They sc0red at such an alb

Baltimore.
The obscurity of Jim" Polk, which
that SNUG, unsmiling. uninspired little
man Of respectable abilities had pre-
