New York Herald Bureau,
London, Jan. II. .
Ulster showed a strong front under
the home rule for Ireland act this
afternoon when a standing committee
of the Ulster Unionist Council decided
10 come to London and interview Sir
Edward Carson and urge him to give
them the benefit of his valuable ser
vices in forming a new North Ireland
Parliament. There is little question
that Sir Edward will accept and there
Is every likelihood that he will be the
ruling force and probably the Pariia-
mentary head. Such an Ulster Parlia-
ment will not change the complexion
OF Ulster politics under the new law, in
the drawing up of which Sir Edward
undoubtedly had an impressive voice
The activity in Ulster to meet the
requirements of the new act caused cer-
tain annoyance in the southland. When
Eamonn de Valera speaks he necessarily
will have to state his policy under the
new measure. and this delicate diplo-
macy on the part of Ulster probably eX-
plains in some measure Valera's delay.
There is Il strong Sim Fein faction
which wants TO continue to tlout the
home rule act completely. But the mod
crates believe they see hope of peace
and liberia! home rule which will lead to
,l, Sc n
cepted and the Irish use the freedom it
grants.
There is a growing feeling in Ireland
that the Irish can fight better under the
home rule act than if they also fight the
net itself, but the extremists have been
against it all along and the factions
apparently have not yet reached an
agreement on this issue.
Steps already have been taken by men
sympathetic with the crown to form r.
Parliament in the south of lrelaLd. as
the home rule act provides. A can"ass
WIS made to see II it would be possible
to reform the old Nationalist party there,
but it is understood that this was found
10 be hopeless. because many had already
joined the Sim Fein and others who had
drifted away from the old politics were
unwilling TO reorganize. This idea has
now been practically abandoned and
efforts are being concentrated on the
formation of a Unionist party, which. it
II understood. is meeting with more sue
cess.
With the Cnionsts standing together
the crown leaders hope to launch a cam
paign for the formation of Parliament
and there is every evidence of haste SO
that Ulster. won't get too Gar ahead.
While the activities OF the Sim Fein
councils in Dublin remain a mysterious
secret even4to the Irish who usually are
we'll informed. peace negotiations have
been completely routed as both sides
recognize that nothing can be done until
Valera speaks or some one else in power
l. Is it be known that the president" has
teen deposed from leadership. Officials
here rs well as all Ireland are awaiting
the Sim Fein signal.

the Cork First Brigade of the Republi-
can army. Of which the late Terence
MacSwiney. Lord Mayor of Cork, was

A Dublin despatch Thursday said the

publican army uniforms, gclignite, gun
cotton, megaphones, periscopes, gas
masks and mail bags, which had been
missing as a result of raids. and also
large quantity of correspondence

0'CALLAGHAN TELLS
OF CORK'S BURNING
Stowaway Mayor Completes
His Testimony Before
Irish Committee.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.--Lord Mayor
O'Cailaghan Of Cork. who reached the
United States last week as a stowaway
and without a passport, completed his
testimony before the commission Of the
self-constituted committee Of 100 in
vestigating Irish conditions to-day and
thereby accomplished the announced
purpose of his visit to America.
Completion by the Lord Mayor of
his presentrnent of conditions in his
homeland was followed a few hours
later by submission to Secretary of
Labor Wilson of a brief arguing that
the Cork Mayor. now IN the United
states on parole, be permitted to re-
main here as a political refugee, entitled
under the law TO admission without 4
passport The brief was submitted
through ,OCallaghan's counsel. in ac-
cordance with a ruling of Secretary
Wilson at the preliminary hearing ac-
corded the Lord Mayor several days
ago. Secretary Wilson is expected to
reach "a decision in the matter OF per-
'manently admitting O'Callaghan to-mor-
row. after studying the briefs.
Mayor O'Calla CHAN. in completing his
testimony. devoted largely to-day to a
description of the recent burning Of
Cork. presented an appeal for support
of the Irish cause. With the appeal he
coupled the declaration that the United
States and England alike entered the
war pledged to the principles OF self
determination for small nations. and
that since England had shown in her
treatment OF Ireland the pledge to be-
"a smoke screen and humbug." the
United States. too, unless showing a
more real interest In ireland. might be
made liable TO the same accusation.

BERLIN FEARS PARIS CRISIS
WILL LNJURE TRADE PLANS
French-G German Commercial Agreements Far Ad-
vanced, Because Britain Is Accused of Playing
Peridious Game to Benefit Herself

from the Berlin Governments standpoint
is the dissolution of the civil guards in
Bavaria. 1t is feared here that firmer
anti-German policy in Paris may result
in an ultimatum demanding immediate
disarmament
Political students still believe an at
tempted immediate dissolution of the
Bavarian guards would cause revolt
by strong but small minority of those
guards. II is generally admitted that a
reactionary revolt to-day would have far
greater chances OF success than in the
days of the Wolfgang Kapp coup d'etat.
Men familiar with conditions obtain
ing in the Reichswehr (imperial defence
forces) declared to THE NEW York HER
AID correspondent here that Gen. Luden-
dorff and his friends enjoy the highest
popularity aisong the German soldiers,
and that it "ould be hard to judge OF
the loyalty of Germany's small army If
the issue of a republic or a return 10
the monarchy should arise. 1t is re-
ported here that Kapp leaders. among
them Cox Bauer. Capt. Eberhardt and
Ignatius I. Lincoln. already are in Ba-
varia, where Gen. Ludendorff lives.
But the Bavarian civil guards, aside
from this minority, are not felt here to
be danger to the republic. This is
particularly true OF those in north Ba-
varia. where many Socialists are en-
rolled.
THE NEW YORK HERALD correspon-
dent learns that Dr. Walter Simons,
German Foreign Minister. consented to
ask for a delay in disarmament only
when Premier Won Kahr Of Bavaria
agreed to disarm the guards there IL
delay was granted. SO there could be no
talk of official Bavarian obstnacy II a
concession should be made 1t was as
serted that Won Kahr thought he would
be able to retreat from his intransi8eant
position in view of the change in Bava-
rian opinion.
Even in some Entente circles 1t was
held to be important to concede delay
to Bavaria, because the full quota of
green police has not yet been in
stalled. Immediate disarmament would
leave the State practically at the mercy
of the Communists, who are still known
to possess arms.

The French Cabinet crisis is regarded
in Berlin with deep misgivings by all
save those w.o believe in the spirit Of
conciliation OF President Millerand and
in his ability TO induce the French
Chamber OF Deputies TO live up to its
promise when he was elected to con-
tinue his policy If he accepted the Pres
idency Of France.
The real cruX of the situation as it
appears IN E@r,ii. is whether the business
negotiations between the French and the
Germans will suffer by the new Cabinet.
THE New YORK HERALD Correspondent
here learns that these negotiations have
made surprising headway, and that the
report made by Carl Bergman, Under
Secretary of Finance and head of the
German delegation to the Brussels con-
ference, on returning here from Paris
this week showed that Germany and
France were nearer a sound business
than since the beginning
of the war.
Agreement in principle has been
reached on the interchange of iron and
coal and q way has been found to
moderate the French demands for IN
creased coal deliveries from the Ruhr.
Those negotiations are still kept secret,
but 1t is known that they represent
great success for the Hugo SHINES
group and the SHINES ideas.
Also it was said that one of
the reasons these negotiations had
progressed so far was because it had
been discovered in Paris that the
British have been playing off the
French and the Germans against each
other. The story is that the French
are being told by the British that they
must fulfil their obligations to Eng
land and so must begin getting real re-
turns in the way of German indemnity.
At the same time the Germans are
being told to hold out against the
French demands until they are modi-
fled.

London. Jan. "a.
In view OF the renewed anxiety eX-
pressed in the French press lest the
drain on Germanys finances caused by
the cost of keeping up the armies of oc-
cupation may render the hope of indem-
nifty illusory. America is revealed here
as the greatest offender.
The Daily Mail says that the official
allied figures place the cost Of maintain
ing the United States army on the Rhine
since the armistice at $263,5 900. This
is seven-siXteenths the cost OF maintain
ing all the allied armies of occupation,
including the Belslans and Italians, and
is out OF all proportion compared to
America forces there.
The cost OF all the allied armies of
occupation converted into dollars at the
present exchange rate is $500, 900. 900,
distributed as follows: Great Britain
1892, 900, 900: France, S122. 900. 900: Bel
gium. s17,500, 1000; Italy, 100000.
All this will be thoroughly investi-
gated when the interalled conference
! Is resumed in Brussels German eX-
perts contend that the actual cost OF the
armies is even greater than the enor-
nous allied figures. when converted into
marks at the present exchange rate.
Germany already has paid actually in
cash 60S000.00 marks to the American
army, 266. 200. 900 marks to the British
army, LAPS, 100000 marks TO the French
and 49,000,000 marks to the Belgian
army.
America has some $1,000 men on the
Rhine and France more than 10000. yet
| the cost of maintaining the American
| army has been more than twice that of
| maintaining the French. It is reported
here that United states accountants in
Germany figure that the American army
costs $4,000. or close to 100000 marks.

Raoul Peret, President of the Cham
Der of Deputies, to-day accepted the in
vitation of President Millerand TO form
new Cabinet. He passed the day in
conferences with leading members OF
Parliament The organization of the
Ministry will not be decided definitely

NJ Peret admitted TO The NEW YORK

nond Po!ncaire. one-time President, to
take any portfolio other than that Of
the Minister Of Foreign Affairs. and that
unless something unforeseen developed
in the next twenty-four hours NJ. Poin-
caire would be eliminated from further
consideration in connection with the Or
ganization of the new Government.
NJ. Peret said that Rene Viviani, one

choice of President Millerand as head
of the new Government had refused to
enter the Cabinet because of business

N. Peret has not yet abandoned hope
Of forming Cabinet with the aid of
Aristide BRAND, formerly Premier. and

Commerce and Reconstruction. VI. Lou
cheur is now considered the inevitable
choice for Minister of Finance.
Despite the action by VI. Peret to-day
in accepting President Milerands in

tirely on making Germany pay in full
reparations and indemnities under the

which will essay this task with vigor
will satisfy the public. 1t is uncertain
tonight whether NJ Peret will be able
successfully to place men in his Gov
ernment who ombody the policy that
public sentiment Is demanding and
whose cooperation apparently is essen
