IS
SHOCKED BY
IRISH REPORT
Pubic Opinion Receives Sc
we're Setback When Details
Of Burning of Irish Town
Are Made Public.
THE PAPERS CRITICIZE
(Bv Associated Press.)

LONDON, Jan 3-Public opinion
received shock when the details of
the burning of the Irish town of
Middleton on Saturday were made pub
lie yesterday. This shock was PAR
ticularly felt in quarters where it had
been supposed that martial law in
southwestern Ireland would put an
end to such reprisals.
Nowhere is there outspoken approx
al of the punishment meted out to the
Irish village by Major-General Sir Ed
ward Strickland. and there evidently
is some reluctance to endorse this
method of keeping order. In official
statements it is declared that seven
dwellings in Middleton were destroyed
as result of an ambush of police near
that town last Wednesday.
Declaration is made that the au-
thorities had decided that the people
living in certain houses in the vicinity
of the outrage must have known of
the plot to ambush the police, and
that after the inmates of the houses
selected for destruction had been
warned to leave, the buildings were
set on fire. The occupants were per-
mitted to remove their valuables. but
had to leave their furniture behind.
Times Criticizes
While declining to question the act
Of burning the houses, on the ground
that it was a drastic measure. the Lon
don Times questions the adequacy of
the explanation that the inhabitants
Of the burned dwellings were bound
to have known Of the ambush.
"Offic!al reprisals," the newspaper
continues, may be a rough form of
justice, but, despite the roughness, the
element of justice should be always
beyond question"
The Daily Express, granting that the
action was legal and presumably ne.
cessary, adds: But it is horrible, as
it reveals an absolute state of war in
Ireland, and it is impossible to with
hold sympathy from Irishmen who
| find themselves between the hammer
Of Sim Fein murderers and the anvil
Of the British troops"
Radical Press Mortified
The radical press, on the other
hand, Is Mortified, the Daily News
saying: 1.-The reports will be read with
amazement and despair. 1t is saw.

Sixteen accidental deaths out of
total OF 4S coroner's cases during the
year 1920 are shown by the repotts Of
that official filed in the county clerks

Eight OF the deaths were due to
automobile accidents, Nine suicides

shot by his wife. Vina, and that Of
Amos Carpenter, alleged to have been
shot by Elmer jackson, also were in
cluded. in the reports.
A number of cases Of heart disease
and apoplexy made up the remainder

peculiar accident OF the year was that
which resulted in the death Of George
Tyre, which occurred near Cepterville.
Tyre fell under a train while he
was riding in box car with a
number of workmen. Several of the
men were sitting in a door when the
train passed a fence that ran close
to the track. Tyre had been warned
of the danger and his companions had
moved away from the door but he
failed to get away in time. AS re-
suit, one foot was caught in the fence
and his body jerked from the car.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-In 1907,
without leyying a single penny of di-
rect taxes, there was brought into the
treasury of the United States approx
imately $s50,O0O.OoO. There was ex-
pended that year about $4,000, 900.
There remained $110,000,000 to be ap-
piled to the nations debt.
During the past year, however, there
were 100000 persons in the United
States who paid a direct tax to the
United States government, and the ag-
gregate of such taxes amounted to
almost $4.00O,OO0,00O. The govern
ment's obligations are now so immense
they must be met largely by direct
taxes.
The United States today has a ma
tional wealth estimated at $240,000,-
100000 and she has a national debt of
approximately s24,000,000,000, or about
10 per cent of her national wealth.
First in Credit.
But I would not have you believe
that the government of the United
States is not going concern" re-
marked Chairman Good, of the com
mittee on appropriations in addressing

priations bill, now pending. Com
pared with other governments in the
world 1t stands first in credit, first in
international wealth and, so far as the
present Indebtedness is concerned, it
stands the lowest among the great
nations of the world in it's indebted
ness as compared with the wealth of
its people,
Members of congress are impressed
with the fact, however, that the Amer
lean people are oppressed with load
of taxation the like of which they
have never labored under before; that
they are demanding the load be made
lighter by substantial tax reductions,
and Chairman Good of the powerful
committee on appropriations has this
new year message for them:
Sharp Expense Cut.
Il believe that this congress is bent
upon the accomplishment Of one big
thing, and that is to reduce the high
cost Of government in order that there
may be substantial reductions in
taxes"
The pairing of government expendi-
lures begins with the sundry civil bill,
which the House will dispose of this
week. The departmental estimates in
the bill were over sS05. 100000 These
estimates were reduced by the appro-

Chairman Good, looking into the
future, expressed the opinion that

that he believed that labor in the
United States is too high" and it was

DECLINES IN BONDS
MARKET INACTIVE

NEW YORK, February 21-The
majority of changes in the bond mar
ket today were slight declines. The
losses were quite unimportant Still,
the days operations reflected a fur
ther tendency toward reaction from
the excesses of the new capital fota-
tions which have happily at length
offerings today and none of conse-
quence scheduled for the immediat te
future
Digestion of recent issues continues
at d moderate pace, but it is note
worthy that most of these are obtain
able either at or below the price at
which they were rendered to the pub
lie.
French IS sold today at 98, the
greatest discount so far. Belgian SIS
were readily bought and sold at 982s
where they had been brought out at
par. The Danish IS at SO were a point
beneath their issue prices.
1t is not difficult to understand un-
der these circumstances why nothing
more is being heard about new for
eign government loans.
The new Pennsylvania 6 1as and the
new Chicago Northwestern Is are
both being supported around their is
ments turned to reflect the less ia =
vorable news from Mexico. The
SIS were off 2R points from last weeks
high Republic of Chile IS. which had
sold at a discount of a. point when
they got down to SO and had rallied
today.
Railway bonds were for the most
part shade lower, but there were no

The committee authorized Chair
man Langley to appoint a subcom-
mittee of three to confer with the
conferees on the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill in an effort to have
the intent of the Mcleod resolution
inserted as an amendment.
While DR.. White was before the
committee ne was asked If the men
tally unbalanced soldiers of the

nally insane at st. Elizabeth's. He
said they were not and that they
were quartered in separate build
