IRELAND STILL
In TURMOIL

While the ''war" in Ireland was be
ing carried on with renewed vigor by
both sides. the house of commons last
week engaged in long and exciting de
hates on the Irish question. At one
time. in rejecting an opposition amend
ment by vote of PSI TO IS the house
placed its seal of approval on the gov
ernment's Irish policy. Lord Robert
Cecil made his debut as whip OF the
opposition party in an effective
speech in which he demanded that
parliamentary commission make an
impartial investigation OF the alleged
atrocities in Ireland. Sir HamaT
Greenwood warned The house that the
conspiracy of the Sim Fein was nov
directed against England and he told
of captured document which showed
an appropriation of 100000 a month
for the Republican army" most of
which money, he asserted. came from
Irish-Americans.

TURKS YIELD
TO DEMANDS

The conference In London dealt
with the problem of the Near East
and the possibility of revising the
Sevres treaty. Turkish delegations
representing both the Constantinople
and the Angora governments were
present and the first part of the week
was wasted in their efforts to get to
gether and present a detailed state
ment of their desires. They finally
agreed on demands that Thrace, Smyr
ma and the Dardanelles be restored TO
Turkey, and objections to the polit
zeal, economic and financial control
exercised by the allies. However
Rechad Pasha. speaking for both
groups, assured the conferees that
both sections would accept the de-
cision of the allies. The demand that
the custody of the Dardanelles be re-
signed again to the Turks caused
much surprise and unfavorable COM
ment even among the French dele
gates, who have been generally on the
side of Turkey in the present contro-
versy. The Greeks remain uncompro-
missing in their demand that the treaty
of Sevres stand virtually unaltered.
and 1t was considered possible the
great powers might permit them to
try to hold their positions in Turkey,
though without assistance from the
allies,

Shriners' Play
Tuesday Night

On next Tuesday night several cars
of local Shriners will attend the
monthly social event at Crescent
Temple in Trenton. Since the cleo
ton of Howard Dudley, the hustlng
Camden man, as potentate, the activi-
ties of Crescent Temple have taken
on unusual life.
The Entertainment Committee has
usually been considered sort of
decoration. But now, under the direc-
ton of DIR. John H. Murray, it has
become the liviest adjunct of, the
temple. After the annual minstrel
last spring the members taking part
in it organized the "Shrine Players
Club" Horace M. VanSlyke, as di-
rector, has worked with DIR. Murray
in producing the best entertainment
the temple has ever known.

is reproduction of the famous Fair

hit-frst on Broadway and then all
over the country. The cast for Tues
days performance is H. M. VanSlyke,

THE FOOD
YOU EAT

There are several hundred people
from Lambertville and New Hope
who commute to and from Trenton
in their daily work. One of their
problems is to get noon lunches. Some
of them have tried every restaurant
in Trenton, and where prices were right
the food is bad. Where the food is
good the prices is wrong, and so on.
1t will accordingly be of interest
to them to learn of the advent of a
luncheon idea" that is both econo-
mical and wholesome. This is the
"Rite Bite" shop, just behind the Me-
chanics Bank on Warren street. 1t
was recently opened by Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Crook, of Morrisville. They
were formerly proprietors of the
Morris Heights Inn, just across the
Calhoun street bridge. Under their
direction it was noted for its food.
The Rite Bite" is a combination
of artistic environment and econo-
mical wholesomeness. The cheerful
surroundings are conductive to the
enjoyment of a meal, and the prices
are SO low as to be unbelievable.
Special luncheons that cost only go
and 80 cents provide everything from
"soup to nuts"
Mr.. and Mrs. Crook are well known
in Trenton social circles, and their
wide acquaintance insures them the
patronage of worthwhile people. 1t
is gratifying to find a flood shop"
that does not have the Objectionable
features of the average smelly res
taurant. 1t provides convenient
and inexpensive place of lunching for

These statements are significant,
coming as they do from one of the
most widely known preachers and edu-
Gators in the United States. DIR. Con-
well is the pastor of the Grace Bap-
fist Temple, one of the largest
churches in the United States. 1t has
membership of three thousand and
Sunday School of one thousand. DR..
Conwell is also president of the Tenn
pie University, an adjunct of the Grace
Temple Church, and which has an en-
rollment Of six. thousand students. He
is the founder of the college.
Few men in the United States en-
joy the distinction of DR.. Conwell in
his popularity of platform lecturer
and Chautauqua entertainer. He has
appeared before audiences in every
State in the Union and in the major
ity of the towns in every State.
He realizes with all thinking PEG
pie that in the present state of the
prohibition law there is more lawless-
ness than ever before. Bootlegging
has become a common practice with
every degenerate and idler in the
country. Even women are entering
it's practice as a means of easy
money. And they are harder to elimi-
nate than the men. There should be
something done to alleviate the condi-
tions, and DR.. Conwell is to be COM
mended for his fearlessness in stating
the issue plainly.

new CABINET
RELIABLE

President-elect Harding's announce
ment of his completed cabinet may
not have aroused any loud cheers Of
enthusiasm. but it was received with
quiet satisfaction and confidence byt
a large part of the public. Though
the list of ten names does not included
those Of many men of towering emil
hence, it is felt by most Republicans
at least, that all the members OF the
new cabinet are men with ideas and
opinions and that they will be actually
the advisers of the chief executive.
The only real surprise among the app
pointments was that of Edwin DENLY
of Michigan TO be secretary of the
navy. Not that he is not well equipped
to fill the position, but he was barely
mentioned in advance. The selec-l
ton of Mr.. Hoover for the portfolioI
of commerce was gratifying to the
public, and that of Mr.. Davis for Sec
rotary of labor pleased most of the
organized labor forces Of the country,
though he is no longer directly con-
nected with their activities.

pointment, Illinois received ne place

hoping that Mr.. Harding viii per-

REORGANIZA-
ton OF
LOCAL LEGION

LAMBERTVILLE-The reorganiza-
| ton of the local post of the American
Legion has resulted in general up
heaval. The old officers seemed to have
gone to sleep at the switch; repeated
| efforts to revive their interest failed.
Finally number of other ex-ser-
vice men had meeting on Friday,
February IL. An attempt was made
to get the old officers out to this
meeting, but they refused to come
The post was really without officers
as they are elected, according to the
Constitution and Bylaws every twelve
months. The old officers terms had
expired last year.
Accordingly new officers were ell
ected at the reorganization meeting.
The previous officers resented this
move, and marshalled strength for
meeting held last Friday night. AT
that time it was voted to reconsider
the action of the previous meeting,
ections were accordingly held on last
Tuesday night at the Commissioners
Chamber.
The crowd present was the largest
since the organization of the post.
More than sixty men were on hand
and greater interest was demonstrat-
ed than ever before. Two of the Of
ficers elected at the reorganization
meeting were reelected: Raymond R.
johnson, finance officer, and Charles
Helms, vice commander. (He was
previously elected as adjutant) Cor
don Cooper was previously elected as
commander, but being newcomer,
some of the men originally mustered
into service from Lambertville felt
that one of their number should have
the office. Mr.. Cooper was away in
Columbus Ohio during the past week
and could not be at either of the meet
ings. He was approached by several
of the men upon his return, with ex-
pressions of regret that he was un-
tremendously eliminated. But Mr..
Cooper wishes it known that he is
only too glad that enough interest is
being worked up to get sixty men out
to meeting. When previously elected
he protested, and emphatically re-
fused to serve. He was elected over
this protest, however, and said at the
time that he knew that it would cause
dissention. But as long as the dissent
ion has resulted in renewed interest,
he is glad of the results.
The trouble already experienced in
the failure of the post to function was
because of animosities, and it is hop
ed that the present stir-up will re-
suit in renewed activities that will
put the post on the map. They need
hcme and definite social and BUSH
ness program that can compete with
the Pennington post. Already many of
the local men have united with that
post.
The officers elected Tuesday night
were George W. Zeigler, commander;
Charles Helms, vice commander; R.
R. johnson, finance officer; and Eu-
gene Narducci, adjutant. The next
meeting will be held March 18th on
Friday night in the Commissioner
Chamber Men from Stockton and
New Hope are being asked to join
in the activities Of the post.
