NOTORIOUS MAIL ROBBER CAUGHT ROY GARDNER, UNDER TWO SEM FENCES, TAKEN AFTER ES-
 GAPING GUARDS. FUGITIVE IS RETAKEN BANDIT CAPTURED ON STREETS OF cEKTRALIA, WASH, BY
 POLICEMEN.
(western Newspaper Union News service.)

Centralia, Wash, June 17.-Roy ty-five years each for rObbing the mails, and who escaped twice from federal guards while being taken to the federal prison on McNeilI's island, was captured here by Louis Sonny, a city policeman. He admitted his iden- tity in jail.
 Gardner escaped the last time at Castle Rock, Wash, Saturday morning, and said he came here Tuesday night on freight train. At no time between the time he escaped and the time he left Castle Rock was he more than mile from the town, and often posse men were within few feet of him, he said.
 While in Centralia he wore a ban dage on his face, giving the appear ance he had been injured. When United States Marshal Holohan of San Francisco, who led d posse in search of Gardner, appeared at the jail, Gard ner exclaimed: Hello, marshal It's been a good joke on you"
 Gardner also greeted postoffice in- spector who captured him in Cali fornia.
 Gardner has been taken to McNeiI's Island penitentiary
 It developed here that Mrs. Marian Howell, wife of the proprietor of the hotel where he stopped, was instru- mental in Gardner's capture. The ban dages around his head, Mrs. Howell said, aroused her suspicious immediate ly, as his eyebrows which were not singed, did not tally with his story that his hair and face had been burned in a gasoline explosion.
 In describing his escape, Gardner said that Norris H. Pyron, the counter feiter with whom he escaped, was as surprised as were the federal officials when Gardner produced a weapon and held them up.

NEWS REVIEW OF
 CURRENT EVENTS
Admiral Sims Stirs Up Hornets Nest by His London Speech
 About the Irish.
SECRETARY OF NAVY ACTS
Mexico Told She Must Sign Treaty to Obtain Recognition-PuebIo Ris- ing From Flood Disaster New Parliament of North
 ern Ireland Meets.
Rv EDWARD w. PACKARD.

Some of our eminent Americans nave a positive genius for saying the wrong thing when they are abroad. Closely following the extraordinarily tactless utterances of Ambassador Harvey in his first address in London comes the speech of Admiral Sims at a meeting of the English Speaking union in the British metropolis. He is quoted in the press as saying:
 q do not want to touch on the Irish question, for I know nothing about it. But there are many in our country who technically are Ameri- cans, some of them naturalized and some born there, but none of them Americans at all. They are Americans when they want money, but Sim Feiners when on the platform. They are making war on America today. The simple truth of it is that they have the blood of the British and American boys on their hands for the Instructions they placed in the way of the most effective operation of the allied naval forces during the war. They are like zebras, either black horses with white stripes or white horses with black stripes. But we know they are not horses-they are asses. But each of these asses has a vote and there are lots. of them"
 Of course the numerous friends of free Ireland" in the United States were enraged by these words, and Senator MediIl Mccormick of Illinois went to the front promptly. denounc- Ing the admiral's speech as "repre- hensible and disgusting" He called the attention of Secretary of the Navy Denby to the address and asked that Sims be disciplined if 1t developed that he had been correctly quoted.
 Without bothering the President with the affair, Secretary Denby cabled to Admiral Sims the substance of the press reports and ordered him to inform the department immediately whether or not he had used the Ian- guage attributed to him.
 The senate, taking to itself some of the admiral's harsh expressions, unanimously adopted a resolution or dering the naval affairs committee to make a thorough investigation of the matter.
 Forecasting tiis reply to Secretary Denby, Admiral Sims declared he would not repudiate a single word of his speech.
 No doubt both Ambassador Harvey and Admiral Sims thought they were engaged in the laudable task of main- taining and enhancing the amicable relations between the two great Eng fish speaking nations; but if they had wisdom comparable with their years and experience they would have known that utterances like theirs al- ways injure rather than aid that cause. On the other hand, it is unde- niably true that the efforts of cheap American politicians to entangle this country in the Irish controversy are disgusting to millions of American citizens.

The Republican national committee, in session in Washington, accepted the resignation of Chairman Will Hays and elected John T. Adams of Du- buque, Ia., to succeed him. Mir. Adams has been vice chairman, and that po- sltion was given to Ralph E. Williams of Portland, Ore. A new basis of rep resentation at national conventions was adopted by which the Southern states will lose 23 delegates from the number accredited to the Chicago con- vention of last June. The old system allowed for one delegate from each congressional district, but under the new plan a district must have cast g. 500 Republican votes in the last pre- ceding election before 1t may send a delegate to the convention. To have two district delegates there must have been cast 10000 Republican votes, or Republican representative must have been elected to congress, Under the former plan 7,5O0 votes gave two delegates.
 Just before the committee met, one of it's most prominent members, Alvin T. Hert of Kentucky, died suddenly in Washington hotel. Mir. Hert was very active in the last campaign and President Harding offered him an am bassadorship and other high posts. He was a leading business man of Louis vile.

pensation valid titles which have been obtained by American citizens under Mexican laws. A confiscatlon policy strikes not only at the interests of particular individuals but at the foundations of international inter- course, for it is only on the basis or the security of property validly pos sessed under the laws existing at the time of its acquisition that commer- cial transactions between the peoples of two countries and the conduct or activities in helpful cooperation are possible.
 "This question is vital because of the provisions inserted in the Mex1- can constitution promulgated in 1917. If these provisions are to be put into effect retroactively, the properties or American citizens will be confiscated on a great scale. This would consti- ute an international wrong of the gravest character, and this govern ment could not submit to its accom- plishment."

The Republican majority in the house took steps to discard the Borah amendment to the naval bill, and to substitute the idea of the Porter joint resolution, which concurs in the ex- pressed purpose of President Harding to call a disarmament conference but refuses to tie his hands with instruc- tions or requests, as does the Borah plan. The Porter idea, it is said, IS the more pleasing to the President, but he will not directly intervene in the controversy. The house Demo crats are almost solidly in favor of the Borah amendment
 The senate performed a peculiar flop last week in dealing with the army bill. On Tuesday, by vote of 34 to 30, it rejected the drastic army reduction voted by the house, adopting the plan of the senate military com mittee for an army of an average strength of 1S0,000 during the next year. with a reduction to 169,OOO by February 15, 1922. Next day the sen ate reversed itself, deciding, 36 to- 32, to reduce the army to 150,0OO, which would necessitate the discharging of about 75,OO0 men before the middle of next February. The entire bill was then passed without a roll call. It carries an appropriation of $333,OOO,- 900 for the army for the fiscal year beginning July l.
