NOrWa1k Church Hit.

Nofwa1k, Aug. During a bril- liant electrical storm here yesterday, in which hailstones, the size of small eggs fel1. five firemen were badly burned in putting out a fire in a private house. and the steep1e of St. Paurs Episcopal church, the oldest in America. was demolished
 The lightning struck the roof of David Guth's house of Rowayton avenue, setting it on lire, and making a large hole in it. Four fire com panies, orie each from Norotor, Row ayton, Darien and NorWa1k answered the alarm.
 While Chief George W. Bogardus, and five men were on the second floor directing water on the roof. the floor collapsed. All six men were badly burned before they were res- cued By their condpari6ns They GUS condition. The downpour Of rain guished the fire.
 The steeple of St. PauPs church was demolished a short time after the Guth house caught fire. This is the third tif1e that this church has been struck by lightning. The last bolt fell two years ago.
 The lightning struck four other places throughout the town without doing serious damage. 1t is thought that the heavy rain prevented fur ther fires. Dozens of windows were smashed by the unusually large and heavy f1ailstor1es, which fell in abund.. ance for several minutes.

AFTER CANADIAN TITLE
Joe kirkwood mad Louis Telltr to Try For Open Golf Championship of Dominion.

New York, Aug. 1.-ProfessionAl golfers have their choice of the Canadian and the Philadelphia open championships this week. For some it will be the Canadian, for others the Philadelphia, while a few will take much needed rest. Among those who intend taking flier at the Dominion championship are Joe Kirkwood and Victor East of Aus tralia and Louis Tellier of Brae Burn, Boston. The tournament, which was won the last two years by J. D. Edgar. Is being held in Toronto. Jim Barnes won the Canadian three years ago, but this week Jim has decided to take things easy.
 Most of the metropolitan profess competitive golf for the present. However, it is likely that at least one metropolitan star will go to the Philadelphia tournament, this being Frank McNamara of Cherry Valley, who won the title last year.
 For the amateurs the scene shifts to Wyantenuck Country club of Great Darlington, Mass, or to any other resort course where the winds blow cool from the mountain peaks or the ocean. Little will be stirring in tournament golf locally until the dog days are over. Wyantenuck un- doubtedIy will receive it's share of attention, because this is not a tourna- ment for the star alone, although stars naturally will be made well come.

IRISH PEACE IS
 BELIEVED NEARER
Important Developments 1mmi.
 nent, London Hears

London, Aug. 1.-Developments in Lloyd George and leaders of the Irish republicans are imminent, it was re- ported here today, but government leaders refused to lift the veil of SC. crecy. There were certain deductions made from the arrival in Dublin yes. terday morning of Art O'Brien, presi- dent of the Gaelic league in London. but they could not be verified
 One rur1or was to the effect that MT. O'Brien was the courier who would take the Sim Fein reply to MT. Lloyd George, while another story declared that Ramon De Valera would. himself, return to London during the coming week and that Sir James Craig, the premier of Ulster. was also coming to this city. 1t also was reported that members of the irish republican par liafnent which has been expected to meet during the coming week. have made preparations to receive a sudden call to Dublin and the British govern ment was declared to be ready to re- lease imprisoned members of the re- publican parliament immediately after being apprised of the date upon which the parliament would meet.
 1t was admitted in Sim Fein quar- tArs that there was considerable diff ference Of opinion among members of the republican parliament respecting the concessions to be demanded from England. Some members were declar- ed to be adhering resolutely to the de- mana for full national independence and for this reason predictions were made that the meeting of the parlia- rrient, when held would probably de- velop some stiff opposition to the lead ers, who were represented as being re- solved to adopt compromise measure
 It was maintained, however, that Mir. De Valera and his immediate col leagues retained control of the situation and would carry the principle of com promise against the demands of extrem- iStS.

AUTOCRACY KILLED
 RUSSIA AS AN ALLY
So Declares Speaker at Williams
 Institute of Politics

Williamstown. Mass, Aug. Tt was autocracy and reaction which kept Russia from giving her best efforts to the allies in the war, declared Baron Sergius A. Korff, former deputy gener- al of Finland, ir1 an address today be- fore the institute of politics in session at Williams college. Russia was sin cere in her friendship to France but if she had been constitutional govern ment she would Nave been stronger and suref ally. Baron korff's subject was "Russia's foreign relations during the last half century, and this, his first lecture of a series, dealt entirely with treaties and agreement made with France.
 Recalling Russia's part in the war he remarked that the victory oh the Marne and the resistance on the west ern front was due in no small part to Russia role ifl the east" He added that the aid which the French states men gave to the Russian reactionaries in their prosecutions of their political opponents would always remain a dark page in the French constitution al history
 Speaking of the Russian French al- hance, Baron Korff said in part:
 .'The great historical meaning Of this alliance is not In doubt at the present day. The victory of the allies was the necessary outcome of that strong friendship. built up between France and Russia.
 .'The impartial historian. however. is in duty bound to mention the draw backs of that alliance and the fatal mis- takes of some of its originators and constructors. Russia's mistake was of a general political nature, of not heed Ing the signs of the time; her reaction ary government did not want to make the necessary liberal concessions up to the moment when it was too late; the concessions 1t did make were always irsincere and insufficient-as the say ing goes, one mail day too late
 Frances rr1iscalculation was double. First the French statesnieh helped much too willingly the Russian reac- tionaries iii their prosecutions of their political opponents; the exile and inn prisonment of Russian revolutionaries will always remain dark page in the
 
 ly when there came a rl1on1ont of grave warning, at the time of the first Rus. sian revolutionary attempt after the Japanese war in 1OOo-06. France die not heed this warning, notwithstanding the fact that Russia's best liberals were telling her the undisguised truth. Many eminent Frenchmen understood the sit uation very clearly and supported the Russian liberals. England too, gave her warning te France, but all sn vain The money she loaned Russia only help ed to support deeaying and desener- ate autocratic government which was fated to fall sooner or later. Constitu- tional Russia would have been much stronger and surer friend and ally tt France Russia could not prove tht strong ally, sincere as she was in hel friendship and was bound to go tt pieces, economically, politically and SO ciAlly.''

 Chinese oil control will have to be strengthened out if the Far Eastern question is really solved at President Hardinss coming international con- ference.
 There are 13 oil-producing prov- inces in China. There afe more than 90 districts where oil has been found The surface of China's oil resources has not even been scratched.

 Kan-su's oil-producing district. is at the south of the Gobi desert at the base of the Nan chang mountains. The field is not being worked to any considerable extent.

 In Shen-si, real rivulets of petro- leum drow from great mountain heights. Here several wells have been drilled at the joint expense of the national and provisional govern ments.
 With three powers struggling for control of the Chinese oil bonanza, the November conference has difi- cult job cut Out for it. This is the petroleum situation today in Japan, United States and Great Britain:
 Japan is unusually poor in oil sources. There are a few wells on Japanese islands, but their produc- tivity Is getting low.
 The United States is gradually changing from an oil exporting to an oil importing nation, as the oil sources on the American continent are be- ginning to run out.
 Great Britain probably has less need of concessions in China than the other two powers because of the rich fields in Mesopotamia granted the British by the Versailles treaty.

The American government also. il is
