W. II. Thompson, son of the patentee
of the gun, was in charge there yes
terday. He said:
ave never sold 500 of those guns to
anybody. All Gales have been in much
smaller quantities. They weigh only
eight and half pounds each and are
easily handled. Probably the guns
seized were gathered up from all parts
OF the country.
"The New York Police Department

so that check can be made with the
factory at Hartford to determine
whether the guns were consigned to
the Auto Ordnance Company. Many of
the numbers were found to have been

were enough with the numbers on,
however, to convince the checkers that
the guns were among the first manu-
factured. One was numbered "701"
and another 1915"

Britain Will Make
Ireland Free Soon,
Says Papal Envoy
Victory To Be Won Through
Justice of Cause, Is View
ofArchbishop Pietropaoli,
Who Heads Rome Mission

Great Britain cannot and will not
deny the Irish people their independ-
ence much longer, Archbishop Charles
Pietropaoli, Apostolic Nuncio Extraor-
dinary, said last night. He heads a
papal mission which is en- route from
Rome to Peru to represent the Pope
at the centennial celebration Of Peru
Wan independence.
Besides the Archbishop, who is the
personal representative Of Pope Benc-
diet, there are in the party Prince
Nicolo Orsini, lieutenant colonel in
the Italian army and member OF the
Apostolic Guard; Mopsignor Pierre
Borgia, of the papal secretariat, and
the Rev. Professor Antonio de Clio
vanni, secretary to Archbishop Pietro-
paoli. The mission is housed at the
rectory of ST. Jean Baptiste, 1874 East
Seventy sixth Street.
The cause of Ireland will triumph
through an eventual recognition by
the British of the justice of her
claims, the papal envoy declared. He
denied that the "Irish question" could
be a Catholic one,
The people of Ireland simply happen
to be Catholics, he explained, and the
Pope's suggestion that the Church aid
in seeking q settlement Of the problem
had no other basis than desire of
Cne fOHLlH TO see universal JuStlce
done and the violence resulting from
the Irish and British differences ter
minated as speedily as possible,
Emphasizing the point that he car
ried no authorization to speak for the
Pope on political matters, the visitor
said:
"With regard to. the Irish question, 4
cannot make any declaration as COM
ing from the Holy See. But what I
can say is that the Holy Father has
always worked for peace throughout
the whole world, with the greatest re-
suits until now. He now strives in a
more particular way for the liberty. of
Ireland, which is eminently Catholic
in it's religion. My personal opinion
is that the cause of Ireland must soon
triumph and will triumph, because
Justice always triumphs, and the
English nation is too great and too
strong to refuse it's insistent de-
mands for freedom. Englands attitude
will be the same as that revealed with
regard to Canada and Australia"

1t was learned at the Comptrollor's

ATHENS, June l6.~~- Reports that thc
French have resumed hostilities against
the Turkish Nationalists in Syria and
ore making important progress have
been received in Smyrna. says a dis
""+ch from shat city, published by the
Poitiea. General Gouraud, the re-
ports assert, is marching on Aleppo
and is crushing the opposition by artil-
lery fire.
SMYRNA. June (By The Associated
Press). - King Constantine, who has
crriyed here to take direct part in
the impending clash between the
Greeks ard the Turks, said to-day that
although he did not wish to boast or
forecast events, he felt convinced that
the Greek army, with its morale ana
spirit in high state, was now aoie
to crush the Turkish forces and was
eager for the opportunity to take the
field
Greeks Claim 100000 Force
The army, King Constantine indi-
Gated now comprised 100000 fighting
men in Anatoia, with 100000 in re-
serve. while against this force OF
100000 the Turks were estimated to
have fewer than 100000 men available.
King Constantine said the offensive
probably would not start fer several
weeks and he said he did not expect
to go to the front before July g.,
The Greek army, the King declared,
was not receiving any assistance from
the British government. All that the
British had done, he said, was to ap,
prove certain requisitions for limited
quantity of munitions from private
firms.
While the King was talking boat
load of Greeks from Mytilene landed
at the pier near by and paid homage
to the King. Long live our father and
King!" was the cry that went up. Con-
stantine acknowledged the salutations
by risine and bowling. Then. turning to
the correspondent, he said:
at doesn't look as though I'd abdi-
cate, does it?"
The King asked to be excused from
discussing politics.
"Now that Pm away from Athens, /
want to forget the cares and worries
of state" he said. Don't ask me
about American or foreign recognition
because do not care two cents about
it. I've been humiliated enough by the
Allied governments. Let them do as
they please"
The King said he was sure the Greek
Parliament would pass the bill giving
him 100000 drachmas in past allow
ances and increasing the civil list to
5000, 900 drachmas annually.
81 can certainly use the money" he
added, laughingly, "for life is very ex-
pensive these days. I now pay my
servants 400 drachmas month, willie
formerly they got only 80. Besides,
100000 drachmas of the money | hope
to get will be given to my brothers"
Constantine Tells His Woes
Constantine does not find life in
Smyrna very cheerful. He complained
during his conversation with the cor
respondent of the presence of bedbugs.
and lamented the fact that he could
not go bathing on account of the curl
osity of the people here. He said
Smyrna Bay reminded him too much
Of Lucernc.
eve are forced to put up with some
pretty bad conditions here" he said.
Smyrna has not the comforts of
Athens. M. Theotokos, my Minister of
War, was almost carried off by a plague
of bedbugs last night, and he became
so desperate that this morning he went
into Smyrna and bought new bed and
a. mattress"

ging about the station Immediately
after the rtain had crossed the Es-
thonian border. As the train pro-
ceeded into Russia, the number Of
begging children increased. At ev-
cry station they appealed for bread.
81 was told there were no begging
children in Russia" the Russian re-
marked, with surprise. 81 heard the
children were all looked after by the

they were not permitted to beg"
However, the streets of all Rus

children who are asking for bread.
They are numerous among the adults
who frequent railway stations in the
hope of getting help from travellers.
Theoretically the children do not
ask aims. There are DEGREES against
it. But government DEGREES are not
always lived up to.
