Irish Home Rule
Put Into Effect
By Great Britain
Election of Members of North.
ern and Southern Parlia-
ments Will Be Held
Nav 3.

London, April 1o.-Steps to bring
into operation the Irish act, providing
for home rule in the island, were
taken today by the British govern
ment. This law, which was de-
scribed by King George as "the fruit
of 80 years of ceaseless controversy"
was passed by Parliament on Decem-
Der n, last, arr received royal as
sent a short time later. Sim Fein
leaders have been outspoken in their
opposition to the, measure.
Elections of members of the north
ern and the southern Irish Parlia-
ments will be held on May 8, under
present plans. 1t seemed probable
the southern sections of Ireland
would ignore the provisions of the
law Z
Under the caption the appointed
day." the London Times i'll an edi-
torial declares the day for launching
the Irish act seems but another
milestone upon the path OF the gov
ernment's failure"
he Gay might easily acquire a
different significance than failure. ac-
cording to the Times, IF only the
cabinet would realize that any small
advantage which prosecution Of their
Irish scheme could gain them has
long since been scored, and that it
would be infinitely better to seize
the opportunity of peace still within
grasp than to face the fresh llumili-
ations that await them if they hold
on their present course"

tumultous demonstrations of the

To Defense
President Harding Sends Spe-

visory on Aeronautics
To House and Senate.
Recommendations Made

BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNlNG
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, April 19.--President
Harding has set out to put America
abreast of other nations in the navi-
CATION of the air.
In support of the recommenda-
tions in his message last week, the
executive transmitted to congress to-
day, special report of the national
advisory committee for aeronautics,
made at his request for a formulation
OF national aviation policy.
Galvanized into new life by this
manifestation of real interest in a
national aviation policy, Which the
Wilson administration had ignored,
the advisory committee produced
within a week survey of the
situation containing the following
recommendations:
81. Aviation is inseparable from
the national defense. 1t is necessary
to success of both the army and the
navy. Each should have complete
control of the character and opera
tons of its own air service.
Aeronauties New Science.
"2. Aeronautics is a comparative
ly new science, capable of such
tremendous and rapid development
that it is of vital importance in the
time of peace TO make the greatest
possible progress in the science it
self. Everything should be done to
stimulate invention and to encourage
the practical use of aircraft of all
kinds and of all the equipment and
appliances necessary or incidental
thereto.
"3. 1t is considered impracticable
in time OF peace to maintain large
armed air force, but it is considered
imperative that we maintain a suf-
ficient nucleus of available personnel,
including organized reserves and
adequate equipment of the most
moderate type, as foundation upon
which to build at the outbreak OF
war. 1s
"a. 1t is essential that commercial
aviation be fostered and encouraged
in harmony with the military and
naval aviation policies and programs.
The development of aviation as
whole will be MADE with the mini
nLri of expense to the government
through the adoption of wise and
4 constructive policy for the upbuild-
ing of commercial aviation.
i Mail Service Important.
ee"S. The air mail service is an inn
portant initial in the, development Of
civil sad commercial aviation. 1t
must be maintained and extended as
rapidly as possible, rot only to carry
the mails, but TO be,ome potential
war reserve.
e. 1t is pressing duty of the
federal government to regulate air
navigation otherwise independent
md conflicting legislation by the
various states will be enacted and
hamper the development of aviation.
For this purpose, bureau of aero
naiitics should be established in the
development of commerce, by legis-
iation similar to the Kahn bill as
modified
-. Approved policies with respect
TO the encouragement and develop

Funeral Service
Held at Potsdam
For Ex-Empress
Four Sons, Free to Attend
Services, While Ex-Kaiser
And Grown Prince Are
Banned.

Potsdam, April l9.-(By lhc AS
sociated Press Amid the tolling OF
tells, funeral services for Augusta
Victoria, former empress, were held
today in this. the royal residence
suburb of Berlin.
Over the simple coffin in the
mausoleunl, or antique temple in the
Potsdam palace grounds had been
raised the familiar yellow standard
of the ex-enpress, and at its loot
stood the four sons of the former
royal couple, who were free TO at
tend the services. Lacking was the
presence of the husband, the former
emperor, and of the eldest son of the
family, former Grown Prince Fred
erick William, exiles in Holland.
Pomp Not Lacking.
Led by the clergy and officers of
the ex-empress' own regiments, the
funeral cortege left Wildpark, the
Potsdam railway station, near which
the body had been guarded overnight
by faithful mourners, after its ar
rival by special train from Doom,
Holland. and proceeded shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock to the 1nausoleum in
the palace grounds, mile Ind halt
distant.
-Four black steeds from the former
royal stables drew the funeral car
which was preceded by the former
chamberlains OF the court bearing
the royal insignia. Generals Won
Loewenfeld and Won Lynckcr and
former ministers of state Won Del
brueck and Breitenbach, Knights OF
the Black Eagle, held the corner OF
the purple robe which covered the
funeral Car.
Then came the Hohenzollern
princes and princesses and other
members of the former German
royal family in equipages OF state.
these followed by members of the
ex-esnporer's court and distinguished
army officers, among whom were
generals Won Hindenburg, Luden-
dorff. Won Mackensen and Won
Kluck.
AT 1880 o'clock the cortege
reached the mausoleum where only
members of the Hohenzollern FAM
lily and private guests were adj
mitted to the services. They were
conducted by DR.. Dryander, the
former court chaplain, assisted by
the choir of the Dom cathedral
which sang Il Know That My Re
deemer Liveth," and, Christ Is My
Life" and other hymns familiar te
protestant Germans.
At the conclusion of the services
throughout which the tolling Of The
church bells continued, the adnis.
sion of the public to the rnausoleun
was begun.
