SOME TROOPS MAY RETURN.
War Department officials Hope for
Part Withdrawal at Once.

War Department officials were
hopeful today that conditions in the
West Virginia mine fields would per-
nit immediate withdrawal of part of
sage to the department last night.
reporting "all quiet" in the occupied
area, Brig. Gen. H. H. Bandholtz,
commanding. said IL the situation re-
mained the same today he would rec
ommend withdrawal of at least the
26th Infantry, one of the two regi-
ments on the scene.
Federal troops. the general report
ed. had pacified the disturbed area
without firing a shot or having a
single hostile demonstration made
against them. He added that he did
not believe it would be necessary or
advisable" to promulgate the procla-
nation of martial law.
West Virginia miners continued to
surrender to federal troops yesterday
and turn in their arms. Gen. Band
holtZ reported. He was perfecting ar
rangements. he said. with officials of
the United Mine Workers to deport
their union members from the invaded
area as fast as they surrender.
Everything indicates that the in
vaders will cease their activities"
the general reported. "as soon as they
learn that federal forces are in their
front"
While War Department officials re-
fused to make public reports giving
the specific disposition of troops
throughout the troubled districts.
they said all troops had arrived and
probably would have taken their sta
tions yesterday. The belief was ex-
pressed that when disposition of the
troops had been completed the armed
bands would either surrender or dis
perse to their homes. thus assuring

Gen. Bandholtz also called the de-

partment officials said. that a formal
complaint would be made to the rail-
roads executives.
After a careful reading of reports
Secretary Weeks said he would be
surprised II occasion for firing a sim
gle shot was found by the soldiers
and expressed belief that theirs would
be a purely peaceful occupation.
Gen. Bandholtz took occasion yes
terday to officially deny reports that
Army airplanes had dropped bombs
in West Virginia. 'The planes have
been used exclusively for reconnois-
sance," he said. They have dropped
no bombs and fired no Shots"
The War Department was without
detailed reports Of the crash of any

BELFAST GREATLY EXCITED.
o'Duffy's Threats Eclipse Speech Of
Michael Collins.

By the Associated Press.
BELFAST, September 5.-The speech
at Armagh yesterday of Michael Col
lins Sim Fein minister of finance and
commander-in -in-chief of the Irish re-
publican army. has been eclpSed IN
interest in Belfast by the remarkable
declaration at the same meeting of
Owen O'Duffy. chief Sim Fein liason
officer for Ulster. who in private life
was assistant town surveyor of Clones.
County Monaghan.
Speaking concerning the attitude of
the Clsterites toward southern Ire
land. O'Duffy said the Sim Fein would
have to put on the screw. The Sim
Fein would have to tighten that
screw, he declared. and if necessary
would have to use lead against the
Ulsterites. O'Duffy said he did not
make that statement as a threat: he
did not want to threaten them at all,
but. as he had said before. those peo-
pie must not be allowed to stand in
the way of the march of nation.
The Ulster question. he asserted, would
settle itself in months time with
out the shedding of a drop of blood If
the crown forces cleared out Of IL

continued to ally themselves win the
enemies of Ireland it might be neces-

absolutely from the rest of ireland.

told it was not right 10 use lorce

that was SO. They did not like To- use
[ force against them; they did not want
to give medicine to other pcoDle that
they would not like to haze them

O'Dunry declared he would be the
! last in the world to recommend force
against Belfast and northeast Ireland.
but said they were acting as a bridge
head for the British government. So
far as the people OF those places were
concerned. he continued. they very
soon would get the opportunity of de-
Gliding whether they were for Ireland
or for the British empire. If they
extend the hand of welcome as it had
done in the past. but if they decided
they We're against Ireland and against
their fellow countrymen the SIM
Feiners. he asserted. would have 10
take suitable action along the lines
ne had indicated.
The speech Of O'Duffy IS altogether

Optimism Supreme
From the Nation's Bussness

Nothing is more significant and
encouraging in the present situa-
ton than the widespread optimism
as to better conditions gradually
prevailing as the season progresses.
1t is an optimism founded on a
knowledge Of the inherent strength
and soundness Of the situation, and
the consciousness that we are get
ting exactly what was coming after
such a war, and that the remedies
for it's betterment lie largely in our
own hands.
future We will look back and real
ize how sweet were the uses of
adversely.
As a natural consequence Of this
growing cheerfulness there is ac-
tually more business being done,
though in far less volume, than
twelve months ago. An open
spring has much to do with this,
both materially and mentally. as ii
entails the buying of seasonable
goods, and much outdoor activity,
especially on the farm.
A very human and pathetic story
comes from widely scattered sec
tions OF the actual realization of
the almost forgotten slogan, Back
to the Farm"
1t is the recrudescence of that
forever immortal parable. The
Prodigsl Son.
The story Of the adventurous boy

army, alone in the great city, out
of job, weary, heart-sick, dis
illusioned for all time. Then COM
ing to himself. he turns his face
to that welcome that neither time
nor neglect can ever chill.
So farm labor will not be so
scarce as year ago. nor will the
hired man command such wages
Also II now seems very sure that
there will not be such acreages of
staple farm products as last spring.
for there is not the same incentive.
Nor will the cost of production be
so great. Thus the farmers prob
lem of the relation of his cost and
selling prices seems likely to be
solved by supply matching itself
with demand.
Decreased production will ulti-
mately tend to bring about higher
prices, while decreased cost Of pro-
duction insures a better margin Of
profit. Which is the way the nat
ural laws Of trade take care of such
problems, IL We only give them a
chance.
The situation in industrial life
is still dominated by the refusal of
the consumer to make purchases
of any moment save at lower than
war prices. He, or she, especially
she, is ready enough to buy at bar
gain figures. Otherwise II is a
waiting game with all the odds on
the consumer, and no takers.
This sttitude on the part Of the
consumer receives constant en-
couragement from the course Of
manufacturers. who gave reasons,
accompanied with irrefutable logic,
uhowing why II is tmpossible for
them to make reductions in prices,
but whose subsequent action re-
