AMBUSH IS CALLED
MURDER BY PRIMATE
Church Head in Ireland De-
nounces Crimes.

BELFAST. Feb 6.--The Lenten PASTORAL
letters read to-day by all the Ulster
Catholic Bishops were devoted TO the
serious situation existing in Ireland.
Cardinal Logue, primate of all ireland.
declared that he never had written un-
der feelings Of deeper anxiety or with
more vivid sense of his responsibility
in the dark prospects for the country's
future.
The cry OF suffering Ireland" said
the Cardinal. despite the efforts TO
smother it by propaganda, will re-echo
through centuries. marking out a sorry
place in history for the present rulers.
There has been no word Of Cancellation.
but repression pure and simple. such as
has been unknown in ireland since the
days Of Cromwell. and such az outstrips
any example except that Of perhaps
Turkey ana the Bolsheviki."
Cardinal Logue denounced in scath-
ing terms the policy Of the Government.
which, he said, had robbed il Of all
sense OF sacredness OF human life and
extinguished the instinctive horror of
bloodshed lie declared that the So
called official reprisals were acts OF
wanton oppression and injustice. that

The Cardinal protested In equally Wig

10000 Yellowstone Elk
Disappear Mysteriously

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Ten
thousand head of Yellow
stone Park elk either are dead or
are "spoofing" park officials by
hiding out. On ranges where
thousands have been seen here
tofore only few have appeared
this year and officials are admit
tedly worried.
The herd was estimated at
$4,000 in 1914, but dropped to
1900 in 1917, with less than
half that number now accounted
for. Unless the alarming shrink
age can be checked or it is found
that the elk favor higher hills in
open winters, such as the pres
snt, it is feared a few years will
see the complete determination
of the herd.
