ULSTER Is OPTIMISTIC.
Believes Lloyd George Guarantees
Were Given to Premier Craig.

BY the Associated Press.
BELFAST. ireland. July 24-The be-
lief appears general in Belfast that
Eamon de Valera, the Irish republican
leader. will not accept the terms of
the British government for a settle
ment of the Irish question. which fall
far short of the republican ideal
1t may be-. assumed that the out
standing feature of tie governmental
offer is fiscal control. which implies
dominionism for Ireland outside the
six northern counties, and. unless spe-
cial provision is made to the contrary.
it is believed likely to prove the
strongest lever for forcing Ulster to
join with the southern parliament.
The prospects. SO far as actions may
be judged. are not disconcerting to
the northern cabinet. Sir James Craig,
the Ulster premier, has left for Scot
land with his wife and daughter to
Join his sons, who now are on holiday
there, and John Miller Andrews. Ul-
ster minister of labor, who is also
president of the Ulster Unionist Labor
Association, did not attend the month
ly meeting of that body last night.
Althoug not officially stated, 1t is
generally believed fere that the Ul-
ster government has received the
most positive guarantees from the
British prime minister, MIR. Lloyd
George.

DEFEAT Of TURKS
MAY FORCE PEACE
Greeks Pursue Enemy Fol-
lowing Decisive Victory
at Eski-Shehr.
BY the Associated Press.

ATHENS. July 25 Greek Official
xAgencyQ.-The Greeks in Asia Minor
have been following up energetically
the victory they gained over the
Turkish nationalists in the fighting
brought on by the attempt of the
Kemalftes to recapture the key-point
of Eski-Shehr, on the Bagdad rail-
way. according to official advices
from the fighting front received here.
The Greeks captured forty guns and
took a great number Of prisoners. the
announcement states. Within a short
time after the close of the battle and
the definite repulse of the Turkish ef-
fort the Greeks had advanced more
than twenty-five miles to the east of
their pursuit of the enemy toward
the interior.
The official statement issued by the
staff in Asia Minor on July %, giving
the result of the battle for Eski-
Shehr, says:
The great battle for Eski-Shehr
ended in Greek victory, and the pur-
suit of the fleeing enemy is con-
tinuing more than forty-five kilo-
meters eaS of that town. Secret or
ders found upon captured Turkish
officers seemed to indicate that the
enemy had concentrated his entire
forces to recapture Eski-Shehr.
The remainder of the Turkish
troops were forced to retreat toward
s,ivri- Hissar. Forty guns were cap
tured and numerous prisoners made.

homes at the capital, in the knowl-
edge that. broadly speaking. they
would not be expelled from omce
except for some fault, Of their own.
The nppOrtiOnment law is an nlogi-
caI and hurtful compromise between
the merit system and the spoiis sys-
tenn, Carrying over one OF the most
offensive features Of the spOils sys-
tenn into the merit system. If it was
necessary to make this vicious COM
nromise in order to establish the
merit system in the beginning, 1t can
hardly be necessary to retain 1t now
when the merit system has been
yindicated by it's results and Is firmly
established in popular favor.
Obstacle to ID. c. Representation.
Third, the law obstructs national
representation. that is, voting repre-
sentation in Congress and the elec-
toral college, for the people of thu
District. BY compelling claim of resi-
dence in a state by those who are, in
fact. permanent residents OF the Dis
trict, in order to work here in the
classified service it reduces apparently
the voting strength of the capital
constituency in its appeal for national
representation as a distinct political
entity. 1t tends to foster the curse
of alien temperament population
uuon the District. 1t substitutes the
expensive. troublesome and precarf0us
representatfOn of a diminishing frac-
tion of the community for the direct
representation OF the whole COM
munity.
Unless compelled by fear of losing
employment under the operation Of
the apportionment law, few Washing
tonians now claiming residence in a
state by compulsion would retain this
fictitious dual residence. IL the op-
portunity were given them through
constitutional amendment 20 vote di-
rectly as District residents. for voting
representation in Congress and the
electoral college.

FATHER SUPPORTS
CAMPBELL'SS STORY
Says Major Accused by Mrs.
BergdoII Got Money From
RaCehorse Man.

William R. Campbell Of Lexington,
KY, father of Maj Bruce R. Campbell.
charged with accepting $1,000 from Mrs
Emma c. Bergdoll to aid in obtaining
freedom for Grover Bergdoll. told a
House committee investigating Berg
dolls escape today that the major was
telling the truth last week when he tes-
titled about hundred dollar invest
ment increasing TO six thousand dollars.
Maj. Campbell said this accounted for a
deposit to his account of $4,000 at about
the time Of the alleged payment.
with MisoS @ YSans s sss ss morse s man p,s at
Lexington. in 1915. Two years later. he
added. Young gave him package con-
tanning the laarssr amount. which was
turned over to Maj. Campbell.
Johnson's Mail Opened.
Mr.. Campbell was examined first by
his son. who had previously testified
that the money was kept in his home
during the war and placed last year
with a Wall street house and lost in
speculation. The father said he did
rot know what form of speculation
the $500 took in Mr.. Young's hands.
He did not think the fund grew from
race track winnings.
Before the hearing started Repre-
sentative Johnson of Kentucky, a
democratic member of the committee,
presented but did not read an anony-
nous letter sent to him from Phila-
delphia and which, he asserted, had
been opened in transit.
1T shows" said Mr.. Johnson. that
while somebody has been opening
nail of the we'll known enemies of
our country. they also are opening
mine when I am trying to get at the
bottom Of this case"
Says He Speculated ON Anything.
You mean to say that your son. with
out being told for what purpose 1t
receipt, g gave Young $500 for specuia-
tion?" John H. Sherburne. committee
counsel. asked. r.
Yes" the father replied.

"He speculated on anything"
without asking questions and gave 1t
to your son.
Most Of the money was in $500 bills.
he said There was no letter in the
package showing by what sort of
trading the sum had grown, the wit
ness declared.
Telegram From Bank.
While the committee was in ses-
sion Mai. Campbell received a tele-
gram from the Ford National Bank
at New York saying that in 1917
there was deposited with that bank
s5,OS7 to the account of Laura Camp
bell. his wife. The telegram cor
roborated Maj Campbelrs testimony
last week to this effect.
What sort of a deal was mine
with Young?" Maj Campbell asked
his father.

over the money the son told Young

ECONOMY TO DROP
FEDERAL WORKERS
Further Reductions in Gov
ernment Personnel Will
Be Made.

Reductions in the number of govern
ment employees, especially those assigned
to the District of Columbia. are likely to
follow as one of the means of reducing
expenses with the view to bringing abou,
suitable tax reduction, according to
Chairman Fordney of the House ways
and means committee. who conferred
with the President today
According to Mr.. Fordney. there were
$4,000 persons on the governments pay
roll in Washington alone on March 81
last, compared to less than $4,000 al
the outbreak of the war. This indicated
to him that there is much room for
slashing in the name of economy.
Pre-Wnr Level Impossible.
OF course, I do not believe that the
number of federal employees in the Ma
tional Capital can be reduced to the pre-
war level" Mr.. Fordney stated. but we
can make substantial reductions in the
force without crippling the govern
mental machinery or reducing effici-
ency"
The government is maintaining a
substantial force of clerks at the
United States Railroad Administra-
ticn," he continued. whose services
can be easily dispensed with just as
growing out of governmental con-
troll can be adjusted. There are also
the millions upon millions of public
moneys squandered in the name of
the Shipping Board. which will be re-
duced. There will be less money
spent for the Navy and Army, and
with the prospects of a world wide
disarmament, the chances are espe-
cially bright for a still lighter bur-
den to be borne by the American
people"
TnN LAW PnssnEe.
Chairman Fordney intimated that
the passage of the tax legislation
through the House would not con-
sumo more than a months time, in
cluding the days devoted to hearings
on the proposed measure.
This was encouraging news to the
President. who has made it known
that he is anxious to have tax re-
vision without delay. He told Mr..
Fordney that while he was not at
tempting to interfere with legislative
matters, he was desirouS of Seeing
things speeded up. He was assured
by Mr.. Fordney that hearings on this
legislation will be started tomorrow
and will continue for the balance of
the week.
