BRITAIN ORDERS men BACK
British Officials In Dublin, However,
Still See Hope For Ultimate Set
Element OF Problem

London.-All soldiers on leave from
Ireland in Aldershot and Marlborough
have been ordered by telegraph to re-
turn to their regiments Immediately.
Immediately on PRONUNCIATION of the
truce in Ireland, large groups OF sol
diers were granted leave of absence
in England.
A Belfast dispatch, quoted from the
Irish News, the nationalist organ, as
claiming to have unquestionable au-
thority for stating that the British gov
eminent preparation for a renewal of
the conflict in Ireland, consequent on
the possible abrogation of the truce
which has existed since July IL, had
been speeded up within the last three
days to such an extent that they were
virtually completed.
A dispatch from Belfast says that it
is reported there that the military au-
thorities in Ireland have cancelled all
leaves of absences for both officers and
men and that all officers and men who
we're away on holidays have been re-
called. 1t is stated this step was taken
merely as precaution against surprise
and has no other significance.
A Dublin dispatch says that COM
plete independence for Ireland remains
the demand of the leaders of the Sim
Fem.
At the opening of the Irish republi-
can parliament on the 18th instant,
Eamonh de Valera, the republican lead
er. in an address to the members, de-
clared that for Ireland, he and his
colleagues stood for ideals embodied
in the American Declaration of indie
pendence. He. reiterated Ireland's
claim to separation from the British
empire and asserted that the cabi-
net of the republican parliament was
the sole government the Irish people
recognized.
Referring to the peace negotiations
with David Lloyd-George, Mr.. de Va
lera said there were people who de-
sired to negotiate to save their faces.
The Sim Fein, however, would nego-
tate only to save possible bloodshed
and for right of principle. He declar-
ed that the cabinet, in refusing the
proffer of dominion form of govern
ment by Lloyd-George had taken this
step, because it considered his pro-
posals unjust.
Mr.. de Valera's address was listen
ed to attentiyely by the 100 mem
bers of the Dali EiTeann, gathered
from all parts of Ireland. 1t was de-
livered after Professor John Mcneil
had been chosen as speaker of the
parliament. Mr. de Valera promised
that at subsequent session he would
outline the negotiations he had carried
on with Lloyd-George and afterwards
the parliament might consider the sit
uation behind closed doors.

MISSOURI SENATOR
ATTACKS VOLSTEAD
REED DECLARES THAT REPRE-
SENTATIVE EMBODIED IN HIS
coUNTENANcE FANATIcIsM
LAW MUST Be ENFORCED
Methods Of Prohibition Law Enforce
ment Are Severely Condemned
BY Senatorial Body.

Washington.-Sena Reed. during
the course of a discussion of the anti
beer bill in the senate recently, took
occasion to make some personal re-
marks about Representative Volstead,
house prohibition leader.
81 never had the pleasure of seeing
until the other day the distinguished
author of the Volstead act" said Reed.
81 do not know whether he was born
in the United States or not, but | am
informed he speaks very broken
English.
81 do not know what his ancestry
may be, but do know that | have
seen the pictures of some of the con-
spirators of the past, the countenances
of those who have led in fanatical re-
volts. the burners of witches, the exc
cutioners who applied the torch, and |
saw them all again when | looked at
the author of this amendment"
Senator Sterling, in charge of the
bill, protested.

and have right to-
Washington.-Th senate will in
sist that the prohibition laws be en-
forced with proper regard for CON
stitutional guarantees against unwar-
ranted search and seizure.
This was made clear recently when
a parliamentary wrangle over the
status of the anti-beer bill developed
into a bitter attack on the methods
that have been employed in enforce
ment, in which both vets and drys
participated Senators declared they
would insist on retention of the Stan
ley amendment to the bill, the stlpula-
tions of which against the search OF
homes without warrant were SAID 10
be a reaffirmation of the fourth and
fifth amendments to the constitution.
The house had altered the Stanley
amendment in way which senators
declared virtually nulliffed it. The
house substitute, it was argued, prac-
tically legalized home brewing opera
tions, and at the same time permitted
the earch of individuals without war
rants. Senator Sterling, in charge of
the bill, asked that the senate vote to
disagree to the house changes, and
to two other alterations. This started
the fireworks.
The senate agreed to do as Sterl-
ing asked, but lot until there had been
three hours discussion, which began
with an effort to figure out just where
the legislation stood. During the de-
bate Senator Reed, of Missouri, de-
nounced admission of Wayne B.
Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti
Saloon league, into the conferences be-
tween senate and house spokesman,
in the face of denial from Sterling
that this had been done. he also
made a caustic personal attack on
Representative Volstead, house prohlb-
ition leader.
Senator Ashurst, of New Mexico,
who bolted the conferences on the
hill because he said there were 1ndlca-
tions the Stanley amendment would
he weakened, declared he would sign
no report which did not support the
exact text of the amendment.

and nullify the Stanley amendment,

firmation of the fourth and fifth
amendments to the constitution"

Britain Protests Toll Exemption

Washington.-The British govern.
ment has indicated that it does not
regard with favor the proposition to
exempt American coastwise shipping
from the payment of Panama canal
bills, as proposed in a pending bill by
Senator Borah of Idaho. Though
American coastwise shipping does
not come into competition with Brit
ish shipping, the latter being excluded
by law from the coastwise trade, the
British objection is understood to be
founded on the argument that to re-
place loss of revenue involved granting
American coastwise shipping free
passage, there must inevitably be an
increase of the general charge or all
other ships using the waterway, IN
Guiding British vessels.

ARBUCKLE STARTS
FIGHT FOR LIFE

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23.-Ros
coe Arbuckle today started his fight
for freedom.
His attorneys attacked the case
built I'D by the prosecution in its
effort to convict the comedian OF
manslaughter in connection with
the death of Virginia Rape, actress

The prosecution's action in SUD

day without warning, failed to take
Arbuckle's counsel by surprise.
Claims that Virginia Rape, with
responsibility for whose death Ros>

AL Sen1nacher, who brought Miss

HARDING CONSIDERS
WAR PRISONERS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Exten-
sion of executive clemency to Of
tenders against the wartime laws
now serving prison sentences will
be given early consideration by
President Harding, it was said Tues
day at the White House. The sub
ject was discussed at the cabinet
meeting Tuesday and it was under
stood that a policy of leniency to-
ward these offenders where pos
sible was generally approved.
The president has asked the attor-
ney general for digest Of each of
these cases, and Mr.. Daugherty eX-
poets to have the histories of the
war law prisoners complete in two
weeks.
These are, according to Mr..
Daugherty, about seventy-five civil
ian wartime offenders nows serving
sentences in federal prisons and
fourteen soldiers who could come
within the clemency program.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-(By the
Associated Press.)-Opinions have
been exchanged among the arms dele
gates with such unprecedented direct
ness that with the conference only
ten days old, some Of the experience
ed diplomatists here believe they can
see, almost with precision, what II
will and will not be possible to &C
complish.
Following the example of the
American delegation in laying. down
sweeping naval reduction proposal
at the opening session, the repre-
sentatives of the other powers have
put aside almost without exception
the diplomatic indirection that usual
ly befogs such negotiations and have
reversed the dictum of Tallyrand that
language is given to diplomats "to
conceal their thoughts"
With the respective heads Of the
American, British and Japanese dele
cations working in direct personal
conference almost daily on the naval
reduction plan, there are indications
that an agreement on all but details
is near at hand. In the same way,
the readiness of all the nations to
commit themselves to general prin-
ciples relating to the Far East, and
the outspoken objection of Japan to
discussing details of that situation,
seem to have crystalized quickly a
conviction that adoption of a set OF
principles like the four agreed upon
yesterday will be the outcome Of the
Far Eastern end of the negotiations.
In addition, the whole question of
land ornaments appears to have
been pretty well settled by the frank
presentation of the case of France

sion by Premier BRAND. The French
statesman made it at once apparent

has been no expression, but which
may come to the fore when the de-
