Duke Plans To
Unseat Premier
For Irish Efforts
BY Earle G. Reeves

London, Nov. S-A movement
TO split the coalition government
OF Britain and. IL necessary, to
split the Unionist party wide open
has been launched by the Duke OF
Northumberland, EngIand's big
gest land owner and coal baron,
who charges that the Lloyd
George government is playing i'm
to the hands Of the enemies Of the
empire by negotiating with Sim
Fein.
If he cannot swing the entire
Unionist party against Georges
peace policy he proposes a "bolt"
by the real conservatives OF the
party. He obtains voice for his
arguments in the columns OF the
Morning Post, conservative Lon
don daily, which has fought the
peace movement from its inception.

part OF a great combined attack
upon the British Empire" North

ces behind 1t are the same as those
which inspire the soviet plots in
Afghanistan and Persia. Egypt
and and the revolutionary labor
movement at home.
"So-called Irish national aspira-
tions are merely a means to an

Ireland as center OF anti British
intrigue. TO judge by the Com

Bernard Shaw 1t Is hoped to use
Irish independence as means OF
embroiling Great Britain and
America. It Is easy to imagine
what might ensue on the landing

possibility"
The present government, NorS

STEEL INDUSTRY MAY
 RE REVOLUTlONIZED
Japs Report Method of Sand Iron Into Ingots of
 Pig Iron.

Tokio. Aug. 19.-A new process by which sand-iron, or magnetic sand may be converted into pig iron and thence into steel has just been made public by Goro Matsukata and Dr. Asobu Naitro
 The" discovery, the scientists aver, will not only revolutionize the steel in- dustry in Japan but of the world. The process is carried out by means of com bining the sand iron with coke, using hot gas flames and making ferro-coke from which iron can easily be taken Japan has little or no iron in any form which may be easily mined and this fact has made this country one of the biggest importers of iron, espe- cially from England and the United States
 Magnetic sand is abundant through out the empire. The discoverers claim that the new process will make Japan one of the biggest iron producing coun- tries of the world.

 Underwriters.

Adoption of the modified plan for a two platoon system in the fire depart ment, a draft of which had been pre- pared by the board of fire commission CTS just prior to the. upheaval in that board, would have effected a saving of $30,0o0 for the city, it became known today.
 The plan as prepared by the board met with the approval of, the Fire |Underwriters' association on condition that, when the city was in a position, financially, to do so, the full compile ment of the department for the two platoons would be made. Efforts to
 interest the mayor in the plan were without avail. 1t being explained that he refused to even look at the draft since he had not been consulted in it's preparation.
 The present strength of the depart ment is 51 members. Under the plan which it was proposed to use when the system was first approved by the council and the city meeting a total of 42 new men would be added and seven Heutenants would be elevated 70 captaincies. The modified plan calls for 24 additional men, four of whom would be extras to guard the city against too great a reduction in forces.
