THAMES Is PRONOUNCED
 TO RHYME WITH LAMPS

In his dictionary Mir. Webster says ths- the name of the river which gives New London harbor and which the crews of Yale and Harvard have made farrous should be pronounced as if it r1lymefi with James. This is good authsrity, yet it does not appear to have been strong enough to prevent Thames Hall as ne tha Connecticut College for wonea>erom being spoken of as Temz hall So enc Of who clings to the old or native style wrote recently to the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey in the hope of getting an official opinion on tho question.
 He described how New Londonerx pro- ndunce Thames street and the Thames club in the city to rhyme with James, ana then cited the case of Thames, alias Tems hall, the dorrnitory at the college. This last pronunciation, he thought, was duo to the fact that the first president of tho college, in whose administration the hsii was built was Of English or Canadian descent and consequently preferred Eng fish style. He himself admitted preju-
 dlce fin favor of Thames but said that fl. Temz were upheld there is no alterna- ! tive except to climb over to the other side of-6fe fence" -- The Survey, however, agree with him | unequivocally. 'The name Thaues." tt says, Ifs applied to three river, one in ! England, enc in Canada, tributary to Lake, St. Clair. and the one in Ccnnerti- cut The pronunciation, of the first two

 The Surveys statement should rnaks it's impress on the imported faculty of the
 Connecticut College for Women to the ex7 tent of an order directing that the pro nunciation of the name of Thames shall hereafter conform to the American style. 1 Incidentally. 1t seems like an opPorncns ns , time to settle also the question If whether

SAN JOSE. Calf. Aag- 21.-A "spurned woman" is blamed by the Rev. John A. Spencer, former Santa Rosa preacher, for causing his arrest on a warrant charging wife murder. Mir. Spencer in advancing this theory today again asserted he was innocent of any attempt to do away his wife. Mrs. Spencer was reported drowned in Clear Lake. Lake county. July 27. last. Thirty-six hours later her body was buried. Thereafter cer- tain reports and rumors reached Lake eounty authorities. the body was ex- humed and following an autopsy a warrant charging the former minister with murder was issued
 The Rev. Mir. Spencer today named the "spurned woman as he termed her. He said he and his wife had lived for a time in the home of this woman at Santa Rosa and quarreled with her concerning an account. Later. he said, the woman made over lures of affection which he spurned and from his lack of heart interest. developed feeling to which he attrib- uted his arrest.
 Spencer insists Mrs. Spencer was drowned accidentally when she fell from their boat at night in Clear Lake. He declares that in answer to her screams he plunged into the water

LONDON PAPERS INSIST GEORGE |ST AND FIRM ON IRISH QUESTION
tRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wIrel


 LONDON, Aug. 21lLondon news papers in summing up the Irish situ- alton this morning devoted them selves to peace or war editorials. The Daily Express used Lincoln's phrase:
 We will not break up the union and you shall not as representing the position of the British govern ment
 If the negotiations break down" declared the London Times, ''the only practical alternatives are that we either impose upon Ireland what we think is a just settlement or let Southern Ireland so her way as an independent republic. The first would be an inconvenience to us, but would be two years of agony to Ire land; the second would be treason {. u. folly to England and it is absolutely unthinkable as long as this nation remains a nation at all.
 Tt is either negotiation for set clement by consent on the present basis. or 1t is war. We never thought such dire alternatives would return l but they are here. Heaven forbid 1 that we should rattle the sabre, but 1 Heaven forbid too, that we should ask consent to throw the Grown ant Sceptre into the dust"
 "A miracle of wisdom said tn; I Observer, is needed to save the sit uation, but at the worst Great Bri tain should not resort to mere mili l tary terrorism and should adopt ; policy of evacuation rather than oc l cupatfon. To attempt to reach ; settlement by pouring in troops an. tanks would be crude, blind and fatal T It would fail for the reason that tn 1 Irish extremists live on eXcitemen and battle. They perish in dullness Our advice would be to leave tn interior of southern Ireland to stey in it's own juice after loyalists ther had withdrawn upon terms of full est compensation. We should keep
 firm grip on a few essential stra tegic points along the coast and tn river shannon and then withdraw tn ; rclhng stock of the railways. ,-Ulste would know how to hold it's ow

 l We hope and pray that Prim : Chamberlain will stake their polite; : futures absolutely on their insistenC e that the evacuation of the interiC n of southern Ireland must be the moi v bloodless and the more formidab s policy for Great Britain to adopt

Senate Tariff Hearing Enters
 On Fifth Week
rRepubiican A. P. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21-The sen aka finance committee is scheduled to sfsrt tomorrow another week of h< srings on the tariff bill. the fifth since it received the measure from the house.
 The question is whether taxes or tariff shall have preference, was ex- pected to be decided by the commit tee early this week. Passage of the tax bill by the house yesterday prob ably will place 1t in the hands of the senate committee late tomorrow or Tuesday but according to the pro- gram announced by Chairman Pen rose. it will be pigeonholed until late in the week.
 Completion of hearings on the earthenware and glassware and met als schedule is planned this week The committee has steadily dropped behind it's plan. however. Mir. Pen rose declared today that he expected to make up for lost time after the sena te goes on vacation by holding locker sessions of the committee.
 Few members of the committee plan to leave the city and the others are prepared to drive hard while thei colleagues are resting. Should tn tax bill be taken up first as man! members believe, every phase of tn tariff will be dropped by the com mittee and it's experts, until the r~v enus measure is out of the way.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 = The present administration of the war de- pertinent has effected every possible economy. Secretary Weeks stated in a summary of the work since March 4. transmitted to Chairman Kahn of the house military committee. The report, made public today by Mir Kahn said the department has econo- mixed. even to the extent of re- stricting activities which would or rinarily be considered necessary. wherever this could be done without possible injury to the service"
 Reviewing the accomplishment oi the department since he became sec retary, MT. Weeks declared that in his opinion one of the greatest was the selection of General Pershing and General Harbord a chief and deputy chief of staff, as it meant the lessons of the war would not be lost.
 Reduction of the army from 2,o0l to 150,000 enlisted men, Mir. Weeks said, would cost approximately sS.- 000.000 due to statutory requirements regarding the payment of bonuses travel allowances. etc, to discharged soldiers. In an effort to avoid a defi- cit during the current fiscal year. 2 survey of allsappropriations available had been made in cooperation witt the director of the budget, he added with the result that $27.000.000 al ready had been set aside as no needed
 A survey of all government req estate under control of the war de partment showed 97 parcels as sur plus. which would be disposed of, h, reported. The cost value of propert. declared surplus by the departmen since March $4. was given as s103. 9s9,1S7, while the cost value of tn amounts sold was s121.615.s51.
