PREDICTS REPRISALS.
O'Callaghan Comments on the Execu-
tions in Dublin.

Cincinnati, March l4.-Donal OCal-
laghan, lord mayor of Cork, who ar
rived in Cincinnati to-day, said the
hanging of six members of the army
of the Irish republic may result in re-
prisals.
six more prisoners OF war have been
murdered, and it may result in reprls'
ais, which would be a very regrettable
thing" said 0'Callaghan.
Only fortnight ago, motion was
made in the kings bench, the highest
tribunal, TO quash sentence OF death
imposed on an Irish prisoner by court
martial, but it was voted down on the
ground that the civil court had no Jur-
isdction as a state of war existed IN
Ireland. No rules of civilized warfare
permit the execution of prisoners OF
war. The Irish soldiers, having no facil-
tiles for holding prisoners, have dis
armed British soldiers captured by
them and then released them. Only Off
GERS of high rank were held prisoners
but they have been treated with every
respect and courtesy due their rank.

BRITISH NAVAL PLANS

London. March II (By the Associated

for 1921 % amount 10 0l ,ls6,s69 pounds
gross and s2,470.0O0 pounds net, it was
announced to-day by Lord Lee Fare
ham, first lord of the admiralty He
said they were based on the govern
ment's policy of maintaining "one
power standard"
1T is the duty of the admiralty TO
carry out that policy as economically
as possible, Lord Lees statement con
tinued, gives full weight to the spe-
cial geographical, international and
other considerations which have arisen
since the war This they are doing-in
no mechanical spirit nor with insist B.
ence upon numerical equality--and rec
ognizing to the full the necessity Of re.
ducing expenditure to the lowest lin
MS compatible with national security,
the admiralty have effected drastic econ
omies and have agreed TO assume risks
which in ordinary circumstances they
would not regard difficult to reconcile
with full maintenance of the govern
ment's declared policy"
Lord Lee pointed out that the econ
omes included reduction in the mum
Der OF capital ships in full commits
sion from 20 to l6, as compared with
IS in 1914.
This Ia the smallest number that
will enable the essential sea going tech

DANGEROUS PRACTICES IN
TRANSPORTING MILK CANS

One day last week a farm
team was seen in Barre on which
a load of manure was being car
ried; and on the manure were
many milk cans,
On the same day another farm
team was seen in Barre ON which
there was a load Of garbage with
milk cans surmounting the gar
bage.
The milk cans may not have
contained milk at the time. But
that does not make much differ
ence. The germs were there and
they may have been communi-
Gated to the cans ready to be as
simulated by the milk when the
cans were filled. In any event the
practice was dirty and revolving.
What do our sanitary regula-
tions amount to? Are we to be
forced to drink milk from cans
which have rested for hours on
manure heaps or garbage piles

The rates of pay established for the
