SINN FEN ATTACKS
 ARE MORE NUMEROUS
Despite Martial Law Rebels Fire On Military All Hours of the
 Day and Night. N

Dublin, Feb. 4.-Since the announce lment by General Sir Edward Strick- land, a fortnight ago, of a decree of martial law, the Irish republican army appears to have been growing in vol, tune, both in the martial law areas and in districts like Galway. which previously had been quiet. An illus itration of this is to be seen in an am Duscade last night between Burguda and Ross Carbery, County Cork, when 9OO rebels" according to official in- formation, engaged the crowd forces. This was the largest crowd that they have had to deal with recently.
 Dublin is now one of the storm cen- ters for ambuscades. Attacks on the military and police are so freauent night and day that the newspapers have difficulty in reporting ali of them ff
 The object of the Sim Fein acti7- lties is said to be to force General Macready, the military commander in Ireland, for political effect, to extend martial law to Dublin.
 Every police and military lorry here now carries a hostage chained and padlocked to seat.

House Quickly Repasses Measure fsr Force of l5O,0OO by 27l to I6-Mr. Wilson Believed Conditions Did
 Not Warrant Restriction.

Wash ngton. Feb. Within six hours after President Wilson vetoed the congressional resolution restrict ing to 10000 men the size of the army, altho its total authorized strength is about 2s0,000. the house today, by a vote of 27l Co l6, adopted the resolution over the executive pro test
 There was no discussion of the vote message following it's reading to the house The Republican leader, Mon dell made the motion to override the veto in the absence of Chairman Kahn of the house military affairs commi- tee, who had introduced the measure The senate is expected to override the veto Monday.
 Members of the souse voting to sus- tain the veto were all democrats.
 By a substantial majority, the house two days ago voted to reduce the size of the army to 150,000 men and the pay for the army provided in the army appropriation bill now before the house was reduced to provide only for this number of men during the next fiscal year.
 It was announced by house leaders voting to override the veto that such action was made necessary by Secre- sfaGy Baker, who refused to have re- cruiting halted, altho the army has now mounted to about 2l4,000 men. The army, pay bill for the present year provided for 175,000, and heavy deficiency appropriation must be made by congress to cover the army cost.

HOWAT CALLED
 FOR CONTEMPT
Leader of Kansas Miners Arrested for Calling of Mine Walkout-Five Others Held-Disagreement Over
 $200 Cause of Present Strike.

Pittsburg, Kas., Feb S.--Alexan- der M. Howat, president of the Kan sas miners, and five members of the unions district executive board were under orders to appear in District Judge Andrew j. Curran's court here today and answer charges of violat- ing an injunction forbidding them to cali strikes in the coal fields of this state.
 According to officials, Howat and those arrested with him held a meet ing last week and ordered out about 200 men in two mines i'll this county The strike hinges entirely upon the question of the age of Karl Mishmash who was employed in Mine "H" of the George K. Mackie Fuel company near Scammon. Almost two years ago the joint board made an award that Mishmash should receive increas- ed pay from the time he was 19 years old. He was being paid at the boys scale for the work he was doing and it was agreed that he receive mans pay from the time he was 19. S2O0 Coming.
 The operators and the union agree that this award was made, and tho only question in dispute is that oi when young Mishmash became 19 The cause of the dispute, payment oI the award has been held up almost two years, has resulted in the strike Mishmash is no longer employed at the mine. The union asserts that under the award he has about $20C coming to him as the difference be- tween boys pay and mans pay for the time he worked after his 18th birthday.
 School records and every other pos sible source of proof as to the boys age have been searched. The Mish- mash family Bible is the storm center of the controversy, however. The operators say that two different dates for the boys birth are recorded in the fly leaves of the family Bible
 Guarantee Return.
 It is reported that the district board of mine workers made the offer that if the $200 was paid to the boy and proof was later produced that he did not become 19 at the time he and his parents claimed, the money would be returned. the district board guar anteeing the re-payments.

NOT SERVING FOR MERE MONEY
Judge Brizzolara Has View Not Too
 Common These Days.

Little Rock, Feb. 2.-Considering the fact that he is probably the young est circuit judge in Arkansas it Is hardly proper to speak of Judge John Brizzolara of Fort Smith as a judge of the old school, yet he is what the ideal jurist must be. In both branches of the legislature, bills are being in- troduced to defray the travelling ex- penses of circuit judges and chancel- Tors when away from home on judicial business. Senator Claude Thompson contemplated the introduction of such a bill for Judge Brizzolara's district Tn some manner Judge Brizzolaa learned of it and immediately wrote requesting that no such steps be taken as he was not serving as judge of his district for the money he could get out of the office.

CIVIC LEAGUE IN
 INTERESTING MEET
w. E. Watkins, in Splendid Talk, Ac, cepted the Place of President Membership Near Two Hundred
 -The Purpose Outlined.

Following is report of the s meeting Of the Mena Civic
 League. as prepared by the Pub
 hcity Committee of the league.
 composed of the Rev. G. w.
 Green, J. c. Mckee and W. s.
 MacLafferty:
 The Civic League which now ap- proximates two hundred in members met at the Baptist church Monday night. Reports were made by mem bership committee which showed a fine increase of members. There were earnest talks from different members as to the object of the league.
 Our newly elected president, W. E. Watkins, was introduced by Vice President Holt and accepted the chair and addressed the league. In his ad. dress he set forth the object and pur- pose of such an organization in very plain, positive and pleasing manner He said in part:
 We are gathered here as citizens of Mena. We are not asking the peo- pie to join any church, any lodge, to bC[OitG q lJCitlotldA Ot q htHAOtA(AI but to be good citizens. Any law is g Blue Law to the man who wishes to do as he pleases regardless of the rights of others. We are not asking anyone to do or be what we do not ex. pect to do or be ourselves"
 The principles and purposes of the league as set forth in the preamble were confirmed heartily, and with an increasing interest In order that the public may better understand our pur- pose and the principles which we de sire to carry out, We insert again the preamble of our constitution, which we hope will be read carefully:
 ."We, the citizens of the city o1 Mena, Arkansas, being desirous of SC. curing the best possible sanitary and moral conditions, and to create higher ideals of righteousness and public sentiment that will assist our officers in the enforcement of our laws, and piedging ourselves to the use of all possible means to conserve these pur. poses, have established and adopted these by laws and regulations.
 One of the main points we wish tc make plain to the people of Mena, l; that this is not a church institution but an organization of the citizens o1 Mena for the betterment of conditions in our community.
 We are to be foe to all that ls wrong, and friend to all that is right to assist, and not to hinder, to en' courage the weak, and stand with ths strong.
 Every citizens of Mena who stands for 100 per cent Americanism IS asked to cooperate with us in this move ment.
