appoint a real dirt" farmer as Secre-

a confession or charge that Wilson
has been careless in his selections,

There is no road by which one may

"No. What is it?'

'Treat the undertaken kindly-you

These, together with various and
sundry kindred admonitions might
constitute seemingly appropriate in

1t deals with the plight of certain dis
tracted individuals at national head
quarters of the American Legion. Aside
from Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant,
who has been swamped so often that
he's getting used to It, this unfortu-
nate had to read and answer more
kilograms and letters IN May than all
other members of the headquarters
staff combined. And the reason is
this:
Between May and May % the fol-
lowing orders, among others, all for de-

innumerable demands for buttons,

colleagues to tears, the martyr sent
out this IS. o. S.:
"Please tell all posts and buddies,"
he sighed, "that they'll either have to
order the stuff they want for July

powerless to maintain the sanctity of

and the viceroy, he said, were prison

of Dublin were equally prisoners and
obliged to take exercise in the castle
grounds. The nations of the world
were pointing the finger of scorn at
England's inability to maintain her au-
thority in Ireland. He demanded mar
tial law and more troops.

general for Ireland, replying to the
criticism Of Colonel Ashley and
other speakers, threw little new light
on the situation. He said the author
tiles in Ireland has been given fullest
authority to call for whatever was
necessary and to adopt measures con-
sidered desirable and the police and
troops had been given the utmost ini-
tiative, their instructions being to be-

He regarded the situation in Dublin as
worse than in Londonderry, and in this
connection he expressed approval of
the suggestion made in the course of
debate to invite the assistance of the
loyal men of all parties to help in
keeping order
Lord Robert Cecil voiced his disap-
pointment at the attorney generals re-
marks. He declared that the govern

Cancellation or coercion.
Andrew Bonar Law, the government
spokesman, declared he considered
there was an adequate military force
in Londonderry to deal with the situa-
ton. This view was also held by the
chief secretary for Ireland, he said.
