For AmbusheS, Says.

Dublin, Feb. 5. - A high
officer of the Irish republi-
can army has given to The
Associated Press a state
ment on the army and it's
operations. This is the first
authorized statement thus
made public, but the ident-

circumstances of the inter-
view cannot be disclosed,

! permitted to publish the sta
tistical information supplied
regarding the total number
of forces, both regular and
irregular now in the field.

designated as Colonel x, :"

He denied the declaration OF
Major General Strickland in com
mand of the British troops that
the Irish republican army organi-
zatiOn was dismembered and re-
pudiated the suggestion that the
remarkable activity in the last
| night was a demonstration to dis
prove the assertion that the mo-
rale of the volunteers was inn
paired.
The recent increases in the at

said, was only a natural develop

organization. From now on there
will be further extension and in

all parts of the country"
He intimated that the republican
army would soon begin the issu-

probably weekly and added:
"Our system of communication

He smiled at reference called
| to his attention that Michael Col

army, saying:
That is delusiou persisted in
not only by the public but by the
British government" He did not
say whether the direction of the

SPANISH LINER YUTE GOES DOWN
 OFF EAST COAST
Big Coal Carrier Reported To Have Sunk 240 Miles
 From Cape May.
ALL HOPE ABANDONED
Fate of Crew of 100 or More Believed Sealed by Heavy
 Storms of Past Few Days.

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. 21.-The Spanish steamers Yute, enroute from Baltimore to Dunkirk with cargo of coal, is believed to have foundered about 24O miles off Cape May.
 The vessel carried a crew of more than one hundred men and it Is feared that all were lost, the heavy storms of the past few days making it unlikely that small boats could live in the high seas running even though the crew succeeded in launching them, which is doubtful.
 The sinking of the Yute makes the second recent disaster to Spanish shipping attended with heavy loss Of life, the Spanish passenger steamer Santa Ysabela having gone down off the coast of Spain early this month and more than two hundred persons per1shing.

ALLIES WILL ASK
 J. s. OPINION ON
 AID FOR AUSTRIA
Measures to Avert Threatened Collapse of Austrian Gov
 ernment to Be Discussed.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 21.- The State Department today indicat ed that the Allies probably vii! con- suit the United Sttaes before dis posing of the situation created by the threatened collapse of the Aus trian Government.
 Tension over existing economic and political conditions in the Aus trian Republic seems to be increas- ing, according to Vienna despatches although as yet no serious disorders have occurred.
 The Austrian Government has an nounced that it is at the end of it's resources and can no longer function unless given aid by the Allies, Heavy salary increass have been granted but money to take care of them admittedly is beyond Austria s reach
 Postal employees have announced they have called a strike, the So- cialist element demanding that these workers be organized as a union. The conservatives refused to say whether they will declare a strike against the strike of their co-work- ers.' Mail collections, telephone and telegraph services have been sus- pended, and it is believed a general strike is certain.
 Workmen demand that the de- duction of the income tax from their pay envelopes cease unless the capi- tai levy law enacted by the last National Assembly is enforced. They declare they will continue their strike until profiteering is checked.
 The Government has drafted dras- tic regulations against profiteering, providing for heavy penalties for violations of the law, some features of which have been disregarded. At present articles not under Govern ment control are offered at fabulous prices.

Chicago Mayor Seeking to Displace Chas. C. Dawes

MARION, O., Jan. 21.-President- selections now hinge on so many uncertain elements that some oi his confidents believe he may postpone the announcement of all but one ap- pointment until jHst before !naug- uration.
 The one place regarded as most likely to be scratched off the doubt ful List is that of Secretary or State for which Charles F Hughes still is said to be uprermost in Mir however, no definite word has come that MT. Hughes will accept.
 Regarding all other portfolios the President-elect still is collecting op- inions. Two of the appointments he is said to have seriously considered announcing early, those of Secretary of the Treasury and Secretary of Agriculture, were involved In re cent conferences.
 Mayor William Hale Thompson oi CHICdSO, liO iido DCCh fuCtCo ae opposing the suggested appointment of Charles c. Dawes of that city as Secretary of the Treasury, was one of those who talked with MT. Hard ing. The Mayor said the cabinet talk had been more or less general.
 Appointment of Secretary of Az riculture was discussed by the Prcsi- dent Elect with Charles Barrett oi Georgia, President of the Farmers Union, and said to be a supporter oi Henry Wallace of Iowa for the place
 Another caller was R. B. Creager of Brownsville, Texas, who is per sonal friend of MT. Harding, and who has been mentioned often as q possible Ambassador to Mexico Mir Crcager brought an encouraging pie ture of Mexican affairs.

BILL FOR FARLEY
 WITH JAPAN AND
 BRITAIN FAVORED
Borah Measure Reported Out To Senate After Lengthy \ Executive Hearings.
FRANCE, ITALY EXCLUDED
Fear That Army As Well As Navy Reductions Might Be
 Talked Causes Action.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. - The Senate Foreign Relations Commi ttee today ordered favorably reported Senator William E. Borah's resolu- tion proposing that the United States open negotiations for an agreement between the United States, Great Britain and Japan for a fifty per cent reduction in the naval building programs of the three countries.
 The committees decision was reached after executive hearings be- gun early this month in which much testimony of various naval experts and others was heard. Considerable sentiment is said to have developed among members of the committed to include France and Italy in the proposed agreement but this was op' posed by Senator Borah, who was said to have argued that those coun- tries would follow the lead of the United States, Great Britain and Japan and that if they became a party to the negotiations, a reduc. tion of armies as we'll as navies would enter into the discussions.
 Reduction of Armies.
 Great Britain, the Senator was re- ported to have said, could be ex- pected to urge reduction of the French army if she should consent to reducing her navy.
 Rear-Admiral Robert E. Coontz Chief of Naval Operations, and his aides were among the principal wit nesses before the committee. Admiral Coontz, Senators said, opposed the Borah resolution or any other plan based on a percentage reduction in building, arguing that a reduction would fail to bring about any equal ization of naval power because of the different size of the programs of the three nations.
 He said that the American build ing program is the largest and the the completion of the Japanese pro- gram Japan's Navy would have about half the strength of the Amer ican Navy.
 British Program Small.
 Great Britain's building program is comparatively small, the Senators were said to have been told, and unless it is increased before 1924, the American Navy would then about equal the British.
 To expedite her program, Japan is having three large battleships built in England, according to informa- tion received by the Navy Intelli- gence Service and transmitted to the Senate committee.
 Data as to foreign navies was presented by Admiral Coontz. All principal powers, Senators said they were informed, were spending con- siderable money to keep themselves informed on the naval and military activies of other nations.

British Columbia Cities >
 To Have } Per Cent Beer

VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 21.-It is reported unofficially that the sale of near-beer in British Columbia cities and villages is to be abolished, and beer of about three per cent strength substituted. This beer will be sold in hotel dining rooms but only with meals. In intervals between regular hours of eating patrons may obtain their favorite brew a la buffet. These are among the most interesting pro- visions of the new legislation ex- pected to be passed as result of the referendum of October 20 last, Hotels are not to deal direct with breweries. The Government will buy from the breweries and supply hotels Strictest regulations are proposed against sale of hard liquors in hotels.
 The measure will also provide for the sale of spirituous liquors under permit system through Government liquor vendors at a cost of $5 for each permit. These permits will be available to tour ists and other visitors. No pro vision has been made, it is stated, as to the quantity which any one person may purchase, this evidently being left to the discretion of the commission to be appointed to ad- minister the act This commission will be composed of three persons, to be appointed by the Government.
