in writing where he was misquoted
and to tell me, if he could, what he did
say in that speech"
At this writing the outcome of the
affair, SO far as the admiral is con-
cerned, is not known. What is known,
however, is that the incident Of his
speech, the attack on him by some of
the Irish-Americans and the possibility
of his being disciplined for what he
said has aroused general feeling
against hyphenates in America COM
parable to that that existed during
the war Senators, representatives
Secretary DENLY and even President
Harding were almost swamped with
letters and kilograms protesting
against any punishment Of the admi-
raj and indorsing the sentiments he
had expressed. The pro-Irish we're
not silent, by any means, but the COM
munications from admirers of Sims
were largely in the majority. Neither
side was permitted to make demon
stration in New York when the ad-
miral landed, fully thousand police
Feing massed to prevent such action.
The Ulster parliament, which was
organized recently, was formally
opened Wednesday by King George,
who, with Queen Mary, journeyed to
Belfast for the purpose. No least part
Of the elaborate ceremonies usual on
such occasions was omitted, the Irish
republicans created no disturbance
and everything passed off in orderly
manner. The king in his speech from
the throne said he spoke from full
heart but he uttered nothing but
platitudes, to the disappointment of
those who had expected some sensa-
tional pronouncement on the Irish
question.
In the parliament ir London more
important statements concerning the
Irish troubles were made. For the
first time the government admitted
that there is real war in Ireland, and
Worthington Evans, secretary of war,
more than intimated that it would be
a war to the finish. He said the gov
eminent was sending troops continue
ally to the island and would continue
to send them as quickly as possible,
and that these troops would be given
every support. Lord Chancellor Bir-
kenhead spoke to the same effect, and
even more emphatically, making it
plain that unless a settlement is
reached and the southern parliament
functions, there will be military
domination campaign much like that
employed against the Beers in South
Africa
The most spectacular exploit OF the
Sim Feiners last week was the kid
mapping of Earl Bandon, for many
years the kings lieutenant of County
Cork, aud the burning of his castle In
Bantry. Colonel Lambert Of the crown
forces was killed near Knockroghery,
and in reprisal the entire villGss was
burned.
The allies, while still determined
that the Turkish nationalist shall not
get possession of Constantinople, have
now requested, or ordered, the, Greeks
to defer their offensive against ke-
mails forces until an attempt has been
made to mediate between the two ma
lions. King Constantine, it is said,
consented to wait until some time in
July. Lord Curzon, Premier BRAND
and representatives of Italy arranged
for this postponement and promised
that if Greece were amenable the three
big powers would lift the financial EN-
barge. and permit Greece to arrange
its fiscal affairs. The French under
took to persuade Renal Pasha to make
concessions leading to an amicable
settlement.
The Japanese and Bolsheviki in ST.
beria who have been on the point or
hostilities for some time, are reported
to have had a fight near Nikolaievosk.
The government of the Far Eastern re-
public at Chita has modified its forces
and has been promised active aid by
the Moscow government. 1t reports
the complete defeat OF body OF
troops personally commanded by Gen.
Baron Won Ungern-S anti-Bol-
shevik leader This is denied by dis
patches from Hardin, which credit I'm
germ Sternberg with repeated success
es. Japan has presented to the Chita
government eight rigorous conditions
as a basis for recognition-so harsh
that they will be hardly acceptable.
Three anchored submarines were
destroyed by the United States forces
last week-but the layman will not
