Irish Aroused by
 the Dismissal of
 Sir Joseph Byrre

Dublin, Feb. If Dismissal of Sir Joseph Byrne, Inspector General of the Royal Irish Constabulary. has provoked an outcrv in all sections of the Irish Press.
 Sir Joseph has been at the head of the police since the Irish rebellion, and has administered all tte police measures taken to suppress the Sim Fein party.l His friends say that he has never disobeyed any government order given him. Nevertheless his dismassal is treated as if 1t were the sacrifice of a popular official.
 It is no secret that he disagreed with the government on the question of enforcing conscription for the ar my last year, and reported strongly against the possibility Of its being carried out. There is reason to SUD- pose also that the various measures lately taken for the protection of thc police, the arming them with bombs and so forth, seemed to him more likely to make the protection of the police difficult and dangerous.
 The explanation of the dismissal most widely current is that the gov ernment contemplated further meas ures which would make the police still more of military force, and possibly associate soldiers with them in the execution of their duties, and that Sir Joseph Byrne disapproved,
 Anfong the few supporters of the the ouinion prevails that the dismissal is due to disappoint- ment of the government at the fail Ere of the police in the past three yearsto prevent, detect and secure the punishment of crime. Crime they say, has increased, and none of it is detected. Nobody has been punished for any of the outrages that have taken place, and the iden ity of their authors remains a mys tery. So the government dismisses the head of the machine which has failed

General Increase in Prices Through
 Germany are Felt

American Headquarters, Coblenz, Germany, Feb. i4.-Continued short age of raw material, increased cost of coal and wages, is being reflected in a general increase of prices throughout Germany, according to German newspapers.
 l A Hamburg rubber -:oods compa- ny has announced a 30 percent in crease in the cost of all goods. Leather goods have gone np in price enormously. Some dealers say the price has reached such a stage~ that they believe it will be virtually impossible to do business in the leather line if the price takes another jump. Trade papers have recommended that leather goods be permitted to be imported free of luxury tax.
 German newspapers are contem- plating an increase both in the rate of subscription and of advertising
 Despite the wall of high prices German newspapers published long accounts recently to the effect that many foreigners, especially Rus sians, had been Hooking to Germany to take advantage of the low cost of living due to the low value of the mark One newspaper says: "The cost of living for foreigner in Germany today is probably one fourth of that abroad. Naturally, foreigners attracted by the cheap ness of living conditions are flock ing to various parts of Germany, Many of these are Russian emi- grants who escaped from Stock holm or Copenhagen with money enough to last them year or so but whp, by coming to Germany, find themselvesia provided with enough money to last them five or six years"

 Answeh: As we understand it, with the engine running, if you engage 2 gear and let in the clutch, the car fails to move. This indicates that there is no power connection be- tween the engine and the rear wheels, some part in the transmits sion line being broken or discon- nected. Probabl something is brok- en in the rear axle and you may be sure that this is so if the drive shaft turns properly, when the car in in gear and the engine running The driving gears, the differential or an axle shaft may be broken, and you will have to take the axle apart to find out just what has happened. If the propeller shaft does not turn when the engine is running in gear, it may be that one of the universal joints, or the drive shaft itself is in trouble or that the clutch does not engage properly. Failure of the transmission gears to mesh or their having broken might produce the same effect.

Minister Who Answered
Watson is Recalled Here

Americus people read with more
than usual interest yesterday the ac-
count of Rev. Nath Thompson's re-
ply to Thomas E. Watson's TRADE
delivered at Griffin, their interest be-
ing due to the fact that the minis
ter, whose action has brought him
into new state-Vside prominence, is q
brother of Mrs. E. L. Murray, of this
city.
Several years ago Mr.. Thompson
conducted series of Methodist re-
vival services here, preaching in a
tent upon the lot adjoining the Wind
sor Hotel, where the Postoffice now
stands, and at that time succeeded in
arousing much religious enthusiasm.
He is a graduate of Emory College,
and following his graduation from
that institution spent a number of
years in Texas and the West, where
he served a number of charges be-
fore entering upon his work as a re-
vivalist, a field in which he has made
a great success.

Rev. Aquila Chamlee
Declines Call Here

Rev. Aquila Chamlee, of Haw-
kinsville, who was recently extended
call to the pastorate of the Cen
tral Baptist church here, has notified
the pulpit committee of that congre-
cation that he will be unable to ac-
cept the call.
In declining to come to Americus
and enter this field of Christian en-
deavor Mr.. Chamlee expressed sim
cere regret, and indicated that un-
der different circumstances he might
have considered the call more favor
ably. At present, however, he is en-
gagged in the unfolding of program
of work that will require some time
to complete, and upon which he has
been engaged some time.
Among other projects undertaken
by his congregation at Hawkinsville
is the erection of a very beautiful
new church building, the edifice now
nearing completion, and until this is
finally completed the pastor will de-
cline to accept any call to another
field, he informed the committee.
In addition to the erection of the
new church building, the Hawkins
vile congregation is engaged in sew
eral other religious projects, which
the pastor said he felt unable to
abandon until their fulfllment is at
least assured.

Army Men May Wear
Pants When Off Duty

ATLANTA, Aug. 10-Army off,
GERS and soldiers of Atlanta are now
authorized to wear trousers while off
duty. The information is startling in
view of the fact that many officers
from Gordon, Jesup and Mcpherson
have been seen pergrinating the pop
ular pathways of Atlanta, apparently
not on duty, and nobody has been
seen to blush or giggle, which is a
pretty good token that their attire
was conventional.
Which must mean that they have
been violating army orders, for yes
terday a pronunciamento from the
Secretary of War was issued to the
effect that when off duty soldiers
would be allowed to wear pants. The
order goes a little bit farther and
says that the pants can be of any
color or material that will conform
to the blouse.

Woman Highwayman
Works in Atlanta

ATLANTA, Aug. 1O-Shades of
Dick Turpin
The feministic movement has de
veloped to that extent in Atlanta
that women have actually invaded the
line of endeavor made famous by
Robin Hood, Jesse James and Harry
Tracy, the outlaw.
J. D. Johns, of East Georgia av-
enue, told the police the feminine
footpad is able to say "stand and de-
liver" as eloquently and as forcibly
as any knight of the highway who
ever rode a sorrel steed and wore a
black wizard through 220 pages of a
best seller.
At 8 late hour at night Mr.. Johns
was on his way home and reached Ira
and Crumley streets. There he en-
countered lady and gentleman stroll
ling leisurely about. The lady was fair
to look upon and the gentleman SEEM
ed affable and prosperous.
AS he passed them, the. gentleman
reached out, grasped Mr. Johns arm
in an approved hammerlock, threw
him to the pavement, told him to shut
up, while the lady calmly rifled his
pockets of all the money he possess
ed, which was five good, hard dollars.
The couple then ran with all the
celerity and grace that Turpin ever
displayed on Honslow Heath.
