CRAIG ENDS TROOP ORDER
Earl Middleton Tells of Ma.

With Irish.

LONDON, Nov. % ASSOCIATED Press).
After to-day's meeting between the
Sim Fein representatives and the
British Cabinet committee, the Irish
situation was described in Government
circles as Critical, but not hopeless"
Premier Lloyd George explained to
the Sinn Feiners that the Government
was willing to apply strong moral pres
sure to Ulster and to offer Sir James
Craig. Premier of Ulster. attractive
financial inducements to persuade him
to agree to the only possible settlement
--an all-Ireland Parliament.
But If these proposals were rejected,
either by the Sim Fein or Ulster, he
declared. the Government would not
introduce any act in Parliament which
would include Ulster against her will.
The Government explained that to
force Ulster to accept would require
the sending of troops. in defiance of
the pledges OF all parties against ply
sical coercion.
VIII See Craig Next.
Mr.. Lloyd George will discuss the ques-
tion further with the Ulster Premier
on Friday, after which Sir James will
return to Belfast for the formal re-
opening Of the northern Parliament.
Earl Middleton. as representative Of
the southern Unlonists, is continuing to
strive for settlement on dominion
lines. He is pointing out to London
business men not only the moral but the
material advantages to be gained by
closer commercial relations with Ire
land.
Disappointment is felt by the Govern
ment that notwithstanding the truce the
Sim Fein has not withdrawn the boy
colt of Ulster goods. The Sim Fein
maintain that the boycott was provoked
by the discharge of Catholic workmen
from Belfast shipyards and considers
it an essential aid to the Republican
cause.
Troop Order Withdrawn.
Sir James Craig has ordered the with
drawal Of what has been described as
secret circular. issued recently from
the division commission OF the Royal
Irish Constabulary at Belfast, which.
according to Dublin dispatches, said the
Government was considering the desir-
ability of forming the unauthorized
loyalist defence forces into regular mill
tary units only to be called out in grave
emergency.
The Ulster Premier declared to-day
that he approved recruiting for special
constabulary in event of the truce being
terminated. but not for the formation Of
recruits into regular military units.
''The constabulary." he added, was
never transferred to the Government of
northern Ireland Recruits may be
taken as policemen, but not into a mill
tary force for organization
The Irish Bulletin published the text
of the alleged secret circular. which was
dated November Q and addressed to
"the commissioners, all county inspectors
and all county commandants." which It
later developed was issued by the con-
stabulary commissioner in Belfast with
out authority from his superiors.

cation de.ract from the inter
A- est Of a book? This is one of
the questions which literary
London is debating at this more or
less silly season before the autumn
publishing boom has seriously begun.
Mrs Gene Stratton Porter, the sale
Of whose books now exceeds ten mil
lion copies, has just refused an un-
precedented offer for the serial rights
of her forthcoming novel Her Fathers
Daughter" on the ground that the
question is to be answered in the af
firmative. For two years Mrs. STRAIT
ton Porter has been living an out
door life in California, where the
scene of the book is laid.
The prejudice of some English au-
thors against serial publication prob
ably derives, perhaps subconsciously,
from the time when serials were pub
lished only in the weekly editions, for
country circulation, of the provincial
newspapers, and there is nothing your
English writer except Arnold Bennett.
who takes a pride in -dislikes more
than the idea of being in any way
provincial. By contrast with the Paris
papers, all of which make a feature
of serials, no London paper, with the
exception of The Daily Mail, publishes
them at all. Aside from the provincial
weekly editions, the only scope for
serial publication in England is in the
monthly magazines; and perhaps its
issue in monthly slabs does rather
weaken the effect Of story.
One feature OF the new book season
the return of the short novel, against
which English readers have been
strangely prejudiced. People are not
now buying stories at the high figure
made necessary when they are long by
the cost of production. SO publishers
like John Lane, who have always be-
lieved in the artistic possibilities of
the short novel, are now again able to
back their faith. If you want to write
very long story now you must do it

The author was born in Molfetta,
small town of southern Italy. His
father wanted to make him pro-

conquerable love for the sea and finally
took passage as sailor on ship
