Fight Near Dublin; Car Burned
and Arms Taken.
z BRIDGES BLOWN UP
General Strickland Declares That Mar
tlal Law In Ireland Is Successful
and Perdiets Wreck Of Re-
publican Army.

Dublin-District Inspector Clarke, a
sergeant and four constables were
killed and a sergeant and constable
wounded in an ambush at Glenwood,
near Six Mile Bridge, 1t was an
nounced by the authorities in Dublin
castle.
: The car in which the constables
were proceeding was burned and all
arms taken. II is believed the am
bushing party suffered casualties. but
to what extent is not known to the
police.
District Inspector Tobias O'Suliivan
was found shot dead near the Dis
towel barracks, County Kerry.
Inspector O'Sullivan was one OF the
most popular officers in the constabu-
larry. He was the hero of the siege
of Kilmalloch barracks on May 9, for
which he was promoted and given the
coveted constabulary medal by Gen.
eral Tudor. Later he was promoted
to district Inspector.
Jeffery Mcdonald, a laborer, was
shot to death In bed in the presence
Of his wife at Abbeyleix, County
Queens. Three men are alleged to
have killed him.
Two bridges between Virginia,
County Cayan. and Kells, County
Meath, Dublin Castle reports, were
blown up.
Martial Law a Success.
Cork-In the first formal interview
given to the press since he came to
Ireland Major General Strickland. in
command of the troops, said that mar
tial law was proving a success. He
discussed the reprisals and his letter
to the acting lord mayor explaining
that he expected aid from the citizens
in the shape of q vigilance committee
of some kind to supply information to
the military. He did not allude to his
report on the burning of Cork.
Among the statements made by
General Strickland was one that wo-
men carried weapons concealed in
their skirts to the ambushing forces.
He declared he did not expect imme-
date results from martial law, but
even before 1t was imposed the muir
der gang was finding 1t impossible to
live at home and had begun to form
flying columns.
1.-THE first result Of martial law was
to make these columns more active"
he said. "The definite thing we are
accomplishing is the breaking Of the
organization of the Republican army.
Until martial law was declared that
organization was remarkably efficient,
Its formations were almost as we'll
organized as those OF the British
army.

ENDORSE CALDER BILL
Regulation of Coal Industry Fav-
ored by Commerce Board.
Government Agencies Which Would
Enforce Law Claim Measure
Would be Workable.

Observation-Disclosures Of the coal
industry as provided in the pending
Calder bill was indorsed by heads of
two of the three government agencies
which would be charged with adj
ministration Of the measure.
Edgar e. Clark, chairman of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, and
DR.. George o. Smith, director of the
geological survey, both of which agen-
cies, together with the Federal Trade
Commission, would be called on to en-
force the regulatory provisions, told
the Senate manufacturer committee
that the bill as drafted, would be
workable.
Chairman Clark was asked as to his
opinion of provisions of the bill which
would require the Interstate Com.
merce Commission to regulate freight
car supply at mines and gather facts
as to coal movements. He approved
such provisions and declared the acute
car shortage OF last year might again
be experienced unless a means were

of coal In advance of the seasonable
requirements.
Asserting that the bill should be
enacted, Director Smith outlined for
the committee the two general meth
DDS proposed in the bill for dealing
with coal industry.
The first method, to be applied
during normal times when coal Is
available at proper prices" said DR..
Smith, merely involves the collec-
ton of statistics of production, dis
tribution and costs. which are to be
made available to the public. No pro-
ducers of a commodity like coal, Inn
pressed with public use can reason
ably object to this.
'"The second method, to be applied
only In emergency and when found
necessary by the Federal Trade Com
mission with the approval OF the
President, allows price fixing, dealing
in coal by the Federal government,
and authorizes control of the produc-
ton, transportation and sale Of coal.
I think we have found there can be
necessities Of peace as well as neces-
stiles Of war to Justify the existence
OF governmental powers like these"

The experience and testimony of such

THE. GERMAN INDEMNITY.

The amount of the indemnity to be paid by the
Germans will undoubtedly be announced soon after
the beginning OF the year. Indications are that
the amount demanded will probably not be in excess
OF the s15.OOO,OOO,OOO prescribed as a minimum
amount in the Versailles treaty and that the pay
will be allowed to be made largely in goods.
1t is believed that Germany can. and will. lay 10
bilions-an amount equal to at least one-fourth Il
her total wealth.
The first payments of this indemnity are TO be
made May l. 1921, the time is short for any
further delay or disputes in fixing the amount and
methods OF payment. Since from all accounts the
German nation is practically insolvent. 1t is only
common sense that she be allowed make her pay
ments in materials and manufactured articles.
Germany thus far has shown little inclination
either to make adequate restitution TO get
work like nation which has big obligations to
meet The sooner she knows definitely what those
obligations are, the sooner she may be expected
to prepare herself to meet them; and the sounder
the economic basis upon which they figured,
the less excuse she will have for delays and evasons.
