MERE PRECAUTION,
BRITISH DECLARE

London, Aug. 17.-(By A. P.)-
Measures taken to recall British troops
on leave to their units in Ireland, an
nounced yesterday, were stated in off,
cial circles here today to be purely Of
a precautionary nature.
1t was claimed that the move was
not aggressively precautionary, because
the last thing the British Government
would do would be TO take any steps
to break the Irish truce. 1t was de-
Clared It was realized in official quarters
that the firing of the first shot on either
side was likely to mean the resumption
Of sporadic outbursts Of fighting
throughout Southern Ireland.
As evidence Of the Governments de-
sire TO offer no provocation. the scenes
in Dublin yesterday were cited, il being
pointed out that no British officers or
soldiers were in evidence anywhere dur
ing the opening Of the Dali Eireann.
The belief throughout British official
circles is that the longer the truce lasts
the harder 1t will be to break it.
London newspapers, even those that
have most warmly supported Irish as
pirations, today viewed with consider
able regret the statements made by
Eamon de Valera at yesterdays meet
ing of the Irish Republican Parliament.
There was, however, reluctance to re-
gard his speech as expressing Ireland 3
last word, and some editorials declared
confidently that if the issue was placed
before the Irish people the British terms
of settlement would be accepted.
Considerable prominence was given
extracts from editorials appearing in
American newspapers, most of them
earnestly advising the Irish not TO re-
ject the Governments offer. The Daily
Telegraph. commenting upon these edi-
torials, said:
Americans are deeply impressed with
the dramatic act of generous renuncia-
ton by the British Government in the
pursuit Of peace. They perceive, If
some Irishmen do not, what an i'm
mense moral sacrifice the Government
has made rather than see the ruin Of
Ireland consummated, and they feel
that some yielding should be apparent
on the other side

z MURDER GANGS
I. Barred BY THREAT
kalian Barber, Terrified by
Death Warnings, confesses
to New York Police
SIX NOW UNDER ARREST

New York, Aug. II. - Information
which the police believe will clear up
seventeen gang murders which have oc-
Cured in New York, Detroit and Avon
blythe Sea, n. j., was given to detec-
tives last night by Bartolo Fontano,
an italian barber. Terrified by secret
threats of being baked in an oven" :"
Fontano gave himself up to the police
and was charged with homicide. Six
other men we're arrested on Fontano s
Information. five charged with homi-
eide and the sixth held as q material
witness.
Fontano told the detectives that the
gang which had threatened him and of
which he had once been member. had
a fund Of $500 900 to protect its mem
bers who were caught while carrying out
its orders. He told the police, they
said, that he had lived for most of the
last two years in Detroit and that he
had killed his former pal, Carmella
Caiozzo, on n farm near Avon by the
Sea on July 80 on orders from "the
gang"
The murders, according to the police,
have all occurred in Italian circles
where a. veil Of secrecy has protected
the criminals. The information pro-
vtded by Fontano gave the police virtu-
ally their only clue for cleaning up the
chain of crimes. Fontano Is said to
have designated n man known as Fran
cisco Puma as 'thc brains of the gang
Puma is one of those under arrest.
Assistant District Attorney Brothers
last night declared there was no evil
dence to show that the murders have
any connection with "Camorra' aCtivi-
ties. Police further supported his state
ment by declaring that the men arrested
last night were members of group
known as "Bonventre Gang"
Besides mentioning five murders COM
mitted by the gang here, Fontano gave
the names of eight men who. he said,
were slain in Detroit. Most of the De-
troit murders. he said, had been COM
mitted within the last year.
Detroit, Aug. 17.-(By A. P.)-De-
troit police today were at work on what
they asserted was one Of the first tangi-
BILE clues to the wave of murder and
bombing outrages that has been sweep
ing through the Italian colony in the
last four years.
The arrest in New York yesterday of
Bartolow Fontano, former Detroit bar
Der, and the information he gave con-
cerning the murder of eight Italians
here, led the authorities to believe that
some light might be shed on the seventy
killings which have been recorded in the
italian colony here since 1917.
Only five of the victims of the gang,
with which Fontana is said to have ad-
mitted his connection. had been identi-
fed by the police today, but it was be-
neved that when possible discrepancies
in the names were cleared up the others
also would be known.

DR.. ]. L. Goodall, Hay fever is a
term denoting a form Of anaphylaxis
in which the body Is sensitized to plant
pollens."
The name itself is in reality a mis-.
nomer, except that about this time OF
year and later, haying time, the fever
has very wide prevalence.
It is quite generally known that the

Trouble in the Air
II must be a source of wonder to suf-

plants can affect them when the only
vegetable life with which they come in
contact Is that hauled around in carts
and wagons. Literally their trouble is
in the air. For them. every little wind
which blows about the earth carries
with it trouble in form of pollen fuel
for the keeping up Of the fever. These
pollens are detached from plants by the
breeze. and others are discharged into
the air by the plants, and in lesser
measure through the agency of insects
pollen is extracted from plants.

MEN ARE NOT AS BAD

People sometimes try to excuse a
crooked business deal on the ground
that Everybody does it," They as
sumo hat the honest man is an ex-
ception to the rule; that the average
man will lie, cheat, steal, and COM
NIT any crime, If only the act serves
his selfish interests.
We can't help believing that the
great majority of people are fairly
honest and good-natured. They
may be illogical, narrow in their
sympathies, ''temperamental" a n d
all that, but they are o just will
fully mean.
The average man is not nearly so
bad as he seems-he pretends to be
a lot meaner and dirtier than he
really is.
A fellow can't speak a good word
for mankind without being forced
to listen to a long spiel" on ''hopo-
critics" It's an old, old tale, and too
much of it is true.
But there are two sides to the
question. For every hopocrite who
isn't nearly so good as he pretends
10 be there's another hopocrite of
the opposite sort who isn't nearly so
mean as he pretends to be!
