premier TO GIVE
IRISH WHOLE time
Situation So Grave Lloyd George
Cancels Vacation

London June 2.-(By Associated
Press Suspension of the premier
| Whitsuntde vacation, the summoning
| of the Earl of Cavan, chief of staff, by
the cabinet and the introduction of
the Earl of Balfour into the confer
ences are everywhere regarded as en-
phasizing the gravity of the Irish stu
alton.
Southern forces have been massed
at certain points along listers bor-
ders with the apparent intention Of
invading the north. This, together
with the new outbreak of outrages in
Belfast has caused great concern, add
ing to the governments perpexities,
already weighty enough in conse-
auence of the agreement between the
southern political factions.
Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier,
is understood to have emphasized in
his interviews with the cabinet the
magnitude of the Sim Fem forces
concentrated along the border and to
have particularly expressed fear for
the safety of Londonderry.
Collins Not Responsible.
Michael Collins, head of the pro-
visional Irish free state government,
is said to have assured the govern
nent that he is in nowise responsible
for this menace, which he utterly dis
approves, and to have declared he
will do what he can to remedy the
situation.
1t is also reported that the Ulster
premier is pressing the government to
order the British forces in Ulster to
attack and scatter the Sim Fein con-
centrations
Another point contributing to the
governments difficulties is the pro-
posed new Irish constitution provid-
ed for under the treaty. This it is
said temporarily overshadows the Col
lins-DeValera political agreement.
Reports are current that the consti-
tuition as drawn up in Dublin and
brought here for submission to the
cabinet is unacceptable. The Daily
Telegraph's parliamentary cores
rondent declares that unless it is sub
stantially modified the government
cannot possibly accept it.

POPE D|SREGARDS
rule OF Centuries
InstalS Old Servant Within Pre-.
cintS Of Apartment

Rome June o-(By the Associated
Press Pope Plus has disregarded the
conventions of centuries by installing
his old servant, Sigma Linda, within
the precincts of his apartments, ap-
pointing her his housekeeper and
wardrobe maid, says the Giornale
d'Italia.
Signor Linda who has been with the
Ratti family for 40 years watched at
the deathbed of the mother of Plus
while he was absent in Poland, and
after the death of her mistress re-
tired to a convent in Milan. Upon his
appointment as Cardinal Archbishop,
Plus quickly called her to govern his
household and after only seven
months as Cardinal he was elected
Pope.
After his elevation Signora Linda
prepared to return to the convent but
instead was summoned to Rome and
installed by Plus in charge of his
wardrobe to which she adds many
other duties. ordering the frugal
meals for the Pope and his secretaries
overlooking the details of housekeep-
ing and insisting upon economy and
order.
Since this was the first time a wom
an had been admitted to such posi-
ton some of tine conservatives in the
Vatican ventured to make respectful
remonstrances. They were received by
the Pope who gave his customary
tranquil decision saying calmly
1T is our will" He added that the
Papal life of sacrifice, labor and re-
sponsibility made more than ever
necessary the comfort of old habits
and accustomed service.

whole matter, as viewed in the light

AID DENIED TO ORANGE.
State Board Of Education Does Not Aid
in School Construction.

AL the meeting OF the state educa
tion commission, held this week al
Montpelier, considerable business was
disposed Of. The budget was the main
topic and, owing to the fact that many
Of the schools are taking advantage OF
a recent law on standardization, the
board found II necessary to change
their budget some fsom what IL WAS
last year; that is, they re arranged the
sums iii the different funds.
Among the votes recorded include
providing and distributing cards for
uniform registration Of pupils and
their transfer from one town to an
other; to formulate a plan for better
enforcement of the attendance laws
throughout the state by requirement
of reports from the teachers to the SUI
perintendent; report of the superin-
tendent to the commissioner on enroll
ment and such other means as will ef-
fectively carry out the work. The au-
ditor Of accounts was requested to
transfer the sum of 5000 from the
credit of the Vermont State School of
Agriculture to match the accounts re-
ceived from the federal vocational
funds; to pay Pittsford $500, special
aid in junior high school work. The
amount to the town Of Hubbardton
was fixed at the same sum; and 81.
800 is to be paid Lyndon institute for

as clerk in the Office to fill the vacan-
ry. The town Of Hartford will be paid
800 towards the arrangement for
lunch service in their building at Que
chce. This Ii undoubtedly the most
modern school building IN Vermont al
though not the largest; and the town
las done most, probably, toward stand
irdization of the schools OF any in the
state. The sums to be paid to junior
,r senior high schools is reduced from
500 to $500 annually because of the
increased demand on the funds avail |
