Washington, Nov. 24.-Ways and
means of Strengthening the hands of
the government in its determination
to enforce the prohibition laws occu-
pied the entire time today of President
Harding and his cabinet, it was stated
I; the White House.
The discussion lasted for an hour and
the executive and his advisers were
represented as feeling that the aues-
ton was of vastly more Importance
than generally was given to it. The
interest of the government, aside from
the single question of law enforcement,
was said to lie in a concern about the
undermining Of the moral sense Of the
people by continued. fragrant and
too ready violation Of statute.
There was no final decision by the
cabinet as t. just what steps were TO
be taken. but a high administration
official said there was the thought that
some appeal would have to be made to
the consciencc-driven, government-lov-
ing and reverent attitude of the peo-
pie of the United States.
The official declared that when men
who had respect for other laws sane
toned the illegal traffic in intoxicat-
ing liquors without qualm, there was
indication of a situation which inev-
itably would have serious and far
reaching consequences.
The discussion, it was stated off,
cially. did not enter the field of modi-
fcation of the Volstead act, but was
confined solely to the enforcement of
that act. The question of keeping the
government enforcement agents ever
lastingly at it occupied some attention
Of the cabinet, but it was stated that
there had been. and was. no criticism
Of the prohibition administration.

LONDON ALARMED

London. Nov. 24-(By A. P.)-
The tragedy of Erskine Childers has
shocked and startled England even
more than did the death of Michael
Collins. Well wishers of the Irish
Free State. of whom there are many
in London. expect that the execu.
ton of Childers may mean the be-
ginning of new chapter In the tur-
buent history of Ireland. In many
quarters today the fear was express
ed that this chapter may be de-
scribed by the word 'reprisals'' and
that the reprisals may be bloodier
and develop into more intense in
ternecine warfare than that which
has gone before. '.a''s7s
Many people in England were
shocked at the news of the execution
because they knew ChiIders: knew
him when he bore an honored name
as British patriot who rendered
his country good service in the Afrt-
can war and when he was some
thing of hero in the British literary
world because he wrote THE Riddle
of the Sands" which was hailed not
only as work Of great literary
merit, but as something Of Z tract
on patriotism.
None of Childers' old friends who
were spoken to today seemed to
know just when and why he under
went the Transformation from an ar
dent British patriot to an Irish rev
dictionary. His mother was- an
Irishwoman. The Childers family
came from distinguished line. The
dead mans father gained fame as an
Oriental scholar.
Childers' wife is an American wo-
man and traces her ancestry back
to the American revolutionary days
in the lineage Of the Putnam fam
lily She was the heroine of an ad-
venture when Childers. in 1914, az a
rctort to the Obstetrics landing arms
in North ireland, brought a con-
signment Of arms for South Ireland

EXECUTED IN DUBLIN

Dublin, Nov. 24-(By A. P)-
Erskine Childers. chief lieutenant of
canon De Valera, was executed
here today.
Childers was executed at Z o'clock
this morning it was announced i'm an
official bulletin given out by the Ma
tional Army.
While the method of execution
was not officially described. it is be-
lieved it by was shooting.
The execution Of Chiders cuts
short the career of mysterious fig
ure whose activities in the Irish
events OF recent years have never
been fully revealed, although he is
generally regarded as having been
the most extreme Of the irrcconcil-
ables.
Childers was nephew of the late
Hugh Culling Eardley Childers,
chancellor of the exchequer under
Gladstone.
Childers. who at one time was a
clerk in the British House of Com
mons, served in the South African
war and was with the naval air force
during the European war. being
awarded the distinguished service
cross for his achievements. He at
tanned fame as the author of the
German spy story THE Riddle of the
Sands" and wrote many other books
Erskine Childers, a lieutenant
commander in the Irish republican
army and one OF the right hand men
Of canon De Valera, was placed on
trial before a military tribunal in
Dublin on Nov. IL on the charge that
he had a pistol in his possession
when arrested at Wicklow by Free
State forces on Nov. 10. The trial
lasted two days. Childers, who was
81 years old. appealed through coun-
sci for a writ of habeas corpus,
which was denied yesterday by the
master of the rolls. IIe then appeal
ed to the court of appeals for South
ern ireland.
Childers was an ardent prepayment
of an Irish republic and strongly op-
posed ratification OF the treaty set
ting up the Irish Free state on the
ground that 1t mean absorption of
Ireland in the British empire" He
was defeated last June in the cleo
tions for the South Irish parlia-
ment, receiving fewer votes than any
other candidate in the whole section.
London. Nov. 24.-Announcemen
of the execution in Dublin of Err
skine Childers. leading lieutenant of
canon De Valera, was received here
shortly after noon. 1t came as sur
prise to England where it was be-
lieved the Free State authorities
would hesitate to impose this penal
ty. The execution Of Childers re-
moves the most important figure in
the republican movement in Ireland
next to Mr.. De Valera. with whom
Childers. a man of strong personal
ity. is generally credited here with
having had strong influence.
To Childers Is ascribed perhaps
the leading part in engineering the
present armed revolt against the
Free State government and he was
known as the military strategist who
planned the operations.
