Derailment Near
Old Orchard Blocks
Traffic, No One Hurt

Old Orchard, Me, July 23.-One
car of an American Express Co. train
due here early this morning on the
Boston and Maine railroad was derail-
ed at Camp Ground station, blocking
traffic on east and west bound tracks
for seven hours. The train crew es-
capped injury.
The locomotive broke away from
the train, and the engineer drove it to
Old Orchard station in time to flag
the Portland Boston passenger train,
due in few minutes. Had the de-
railment occurred two minutes later,
trainmen said, the passenger train,
which does not stop here, would have
plunged into the wreckage.
Railroad officials tonight had not
established the cause of the wreck.
The car next 10 the locomotive jump
ed the track and the end of the car
plunged into the west bound tracks.
The other cars remained o, the rails.
The passenger train was sent back
to Rigby and routed over the eastern
division to North Berwick. All wes-
tern division trains were run over
the other division until the tracks
were cleared.

IRISH IRRECULARS
0uTCENERAlED IN
LIMERICK FIGHT

Limerick, July 23.-(By "A. III
From the beginning to the end of the
operations, which ended with the
capture of Limerick on Friday by the
Free State forces, the Irregulars
outnumbered the Nationals. Not
more than 700 Free State troops
were engaged, while the Republican
forces reached at least 1000.
The whole center of the city was
involved in the battle zone, the line
of the National troops extending the
length Of Thomas and William
streets, and at some points the COM
batants were separated by less than
ten yards.
The fighting most of the week con-
sisted mostly of rifle and bombing
duels; each side tunneled from
house to house so that entire streets
were transformed into miniature
fortresses. The Irregulars from the
outset occupied the strongest position
and their final defeat was due to the
division of their forces by the isola-
tion of two important strongholds,
the Strand and Castle Barracks, by
means of an artillery assault and the
threatened encirclement of the Ir-
regulars, who were obliged to eva
cuate their positions in order to avoid
the cutting off of their retreat to the
south.

The civilian population suffered
acutely during the fighting; many
were made homeless and at times
there was grave menace of starva-

tributing flour, bread, sugar and
similar necessaries and operating the
bakeries under military control.
Nothing definite is known about
the leaders of the Irregular forces,
except that Liam Lynch. the So

the operations, in the early stages,

MENACE TO BUSINESS

New York. July 23.--The present
Transportation emergency" will throt-
tie the new business revival in the era
die IL the railroad strikes continue
much longer. said David Williams,
secretary OF the central strike commit
tee. tonight. He based his statement
on figures submitted by the Labor Bu-
reau. Inc. showing, he asserted, that
the following measures are almost in
evitable in dealing with the crisis:
Emergency pooling Of rolling stock
under federal control.
Resurrection of priorities control
over shipments as exercised during the
war.
ST dtting down OF non-essential in
dustries and throttling of the business
revival.
with car loadings larger now than
in 1920 despite the coal strike. and
| with heavy crops to be moved, the cars
still in commission in the fall will be
totally inadequate to handle the trans
portation, even il the strike is settled
soon. said Mr.. Williams. citing the
shortage of 1920 and the % per cent.
increase in fall loadings for that year.
The latest figures on bad order roll
ing stock. Mr.. Williams said, show
that on the more important lines es-
timating 16 to 35 per cent. of the To-
comotivcs and 10 to e5 per cent. of
the freight cars are out of commission.
Among the disturbances of industry
which Mr.. Williams claimed are due
to the railroad strike are 1.-The coming
, coal famine" Is to 90 per cent. drop
In steel production within two weeks,
drop in business of mail order houses,
two TO three-day deliveries in many
regular freights, possible loss Of $780,

SEN. WALSH WARNS
AGAINST WOOL DUTY
IN TARIFF MEASURE

Washington, July 23.-Enactment
of the wool duties proposed in the
pending tariff bill would result in a
burden upon public at least as large
as that imposed by schedule X, of
the Payne-Aldrich law, Senator
Walsh, Democrat, Massachusetts de-
Clared today in a formal statement
Senator Walsh, who is in charge of
the Democratic fight in the Serate
against the wool duties, contended
that the -33 cents a pound duty on
raw wool alone would increase the
nations clothing bill by $200,0O0,000
annually.
To support this contention the
pared by the tariff commission as to
the probable effect of the raw wool
rates on prices of clothing. These
cct;matcs were that if the duty were
fully effective the price of suits
would be advanced from $2.03 to
S225 each and the price of overcoats
from $500 to $40 each.
"These figures" said Senator
Walsh, do not take in consideration
other factors which will serve to in
crease the cost Of garments to the
public, such as the increases in pro-
tective rates on wool clothing and
the increases in the protective rates
on wool cloths and other materials
entering into garments, such as lin
ing and trimmings"
The Massachusetts Senator added
that it would not be possible accur-
ately to estimate this increase. but
he asserted that the total would be
"stupendous.
Senator Wash said he would not
argue that the wooden industry did
not need protection, but said this
protection should be moderate and
that the cost to the puhlis should
be taken into consideration.
"The inequitable, unjust and scan
dalous manner in which rates have
been drawn up under former protevt-
i've tariff acts. such as the PAYNE
Aldrich," he continued "has shaken
the whole moral foundation of pro-
lection fer this industry. Discrimi-
nation has been practiccd and greed
encouraged.
In statement issued today
through the committee for a non
partisan scientific tariff, Senator
Townsend. Republican. Michigan. an
nounced his support for the Fre1ing-
huysen amendment to the pending
bill proposing Scientific" tariff to
be based upon findings Of the tariff
commission. Senator Townsend was

Washington, July 23-Steps to es-

Of the national military policy are
forecast in a memorandum recently
submitted by General Perskins to
Secretary Weeks and made public to-
day at the war department.
Details Of such plans as may have
been already prepared by General
Pershing are not disclosed. The gen.
eral nature of the project. however,
contemplates assignment Of national
guard divisions to specific defensive
positions on coasts and borders to
which they would be rushed in the
event Of war.
Under this plan," General Persh-
ing said, "the military organizations
required to secure critical landing
places upon our coasts and favorable
lines of advance upon our land
prepared. With such initial organiza-
tion assured, the additional military
units required for the full prosecution
of a serious war can be modified at
once and brought to full strength
without disturbance or interruption.
With our territory thus protected
against landings in force at the start,
and with the machinery for further
military expansion fully organized.
our fleet will be free to deal with the
hostile naval forces without concern
as to possible invasion"
The plans are practicable. General
Pershing said. If we can count upon
a reasonable development of the

Paris, July 23.-(By A. PA
conference between David Lloyd
George, the British prime minister.
and Raymond Poincare, the French
premier, to discuss the question of
moratorium for Germany has been
arranged for the first part of August.
1t is expected that the conference
will assume the proportions of
meeting of the supreme council, as it
is generally understood here that
Belgium is sure to be represented,
and if the Italian cabinet crisis is
solved in time, that Italy also will
have delegates present.
Realization that the reparations
question has reached a decisive
crisis is held responsible in French
circles for Premier Poincare over
coming his oft-eXpressed aversion for
supreme councils and his decision to
have the matter Of a German mora
torium discussed before the first su-
preme council, he has agreed to at
tend since he was called to the
premiership.
The fact that NJ. Poincare will be
accompanied to London by Minister
of Finance De Lasteyrie, and Count

we'll as several technical experts from
both the foreign affairs and finance
ministries, and the Premier's accept

fate of the German moratorium is
