IRISH DESTROY
PROPERTY AND
ENGLAND PAYS
Ireland's Holocaust Is Costing
to Inhabitants on Sis
ter Island.

LONDON, June 15-While the
Irish people burn buildings and de-
stroy property in Ireland, it is the
people of the sister island who have
to pay the bills. Part of these costs
are taken from the national treasury
by Parliament and part are volun-
tary contributions given to the funds
being raised in England by the SYM
pathizers of sufferers in both sections
of Ireland.
The Irish Secretary, Sir Hamar
Greenwood, recently proposed in the
House of Commons grant OF
G750,000, as compensation for dam
ages to property in northern Ireland
during the disorders of the past
three years. During the excited de-
bate which followed he explained
that by agreement between Colonial
Secretary Churchill, and Sir James
Craig, Prime Minister of the Ulster
Government the British Government
promised to pay Ulster 81 100000
for damages committed up to the
first of January This does not cover
the amount the national treasury
will grant to Ireland by any means.
Sir Hamar Greenwood told the
House there would be also an appro-
priation of another 6 100000 fol-
relief work for Catholics and Protes-
tants in Northern Ireland as well as
a further estimate of G2,000,000 to
compensate Crown employees, most
of whom have lost their positions
through the establishment of the
new government. The total awards
made by the courts in Northern
Ireland to persons who have suffered
damages amount to G2.000,000, sc
that with the British Government
defraying G1,5OO,OOO there will be
100000 70 rthe Ulster government
to deal with.
The courts have passed on the
claims submitted in the North
which has simplifed matters. In the
South most of the British courts
have been suppressed and where
courts have been sitting many claim
ants were afraid to appear. Accord
ingly it is now possible only to es
innate the claims of Southern Ire
land. Sir Hamar Greenwood esti
mated these at about 1900, 900
but hoped they would ultimately bt
reduced by half.
Hence the grand total of dam
ages to be paid to individuals b.
the British Government for the civil
war. or civic disturbances in Ire
land, is about 100000. O
course before the new government
of Ulster was launched and TIL
Provisional government OF thu
South, Ireland was contributing he
share to the taxation Of the United
Kingdom. from whose funds thes'
bills will be settled.

Graw, who has seen ball clubs, and
particularly shortstops, c1me and go
since the days of the old Baltimore
the Cincinnati Reds as the team that
has shown the most during mis- re-
cent Western "trip and Jimmy Cave
ney as the nearest approach to Honus
Wagner he had ever seen.
What is the best in the Vest"
he repeated well, the Cincinnati
Reds just as they were going when
we met them. They were playing
great ball. particularly Caveney and
Pinelh and they got fine pitching
from Rixey Bonohue and Luque. OF
course, 4 look to the Pirates to give
us our hardest fight They have the
speed and the pitchers and this lad
Traynor in the irfield is real ball
player.
But Caveney for mine. He plays
shortstop just Like the big Dutchman
did 10 years ago and the way he
went against us convinced me that
he Is not far behind Honus.
"Caveney has the same ham-like
hands and The scoops in the ball with
the sweeping motion of man using
pair of butterfly nets. That was
Wagner's style, you remember. Some
people claim Caveney doesn't cover
ground like Wagner did and maybe
he doesn't, but you couldn't prove it
by the plays he made against us"
OF his own club, McGraw had much
to say and little of it was unflatter-
ing, despite the fact that the Giants
have been travelling in neutral for the
past month The boys. he said, were
in a hitting slump but it would not
