of experienced business men to serve
in the budget bureau without pay. The
first Of these is William T, Abbott of
Chicago whom General Dawes invited
to serve us assistant director. He also
requested that Brig. Gen. George
MoSeley and Col Henry Smither he
detailed to help him Both of them
distinguished themselves IN organiza-
ton work during the war.

marks about the inadequacy of the
budget legislation, adding: one might

The Ulster parliament, which was
organized recently, was formally
opened Wednesday by King George,
who, with Queen Mary, journeyed to
Belfast for the purpose No least part
of the elaborate ceremonies usual on
such occasions was omitted, the Irish
republicans created no disturbance
and everything passed off in orderly
manner The king in his speech from
the throne said he spoke from fun
heart" but he uttered nothing but
platitudes, to the disappointment of
those who had expected some seuSa-
tional announcement on the Irish
question.
In the parliament in London more
important statements concerning the
Irish troubles were made. For the
first time the government admitted
that there is real war in Ireland, and
Worthngton Evans, secretary Of war,
more than minated that it would be
a war to the finish. He said the gov
eminent was sending troops continu-
ally to the island and would continue
to send them as quickly as possible,
and that these troops would be given
every support. Lord Chancellor Biz
kenhead spoke to the same effect, and
even more emphatically, making it
plain that unless settlement is
reached and the southern parliament
functions, there will be a military
domination campaign much like that
employed against the Beers in South
Africa.

which began in November. 1920. has CON

substantial recovery. Wages have been
at their maximum and the fuel and mate
rails used i'm this period were necessarily
purchased or contracted for at the high
prices of 1920. Maintenance, both of
track and equipment, which had been de
ferrpd because of conditions due To the
war. was necessarily prosecuted TO a
greater extent than would ordinarily have
been justified under the business condi-
tionS prevailing during the period.

turn in the adverse tide against which We
have been struggling and that the second

as to wages, which should result i'm a sub
