OF SEA
CALLS YOUNG MEN
Meyer Lissner Tells Y. NJ. G.
A. Nation Needs Mod
ern NOrSemen.

The lure Of tho sea. with it's tang
and spray. bilEe water and all the
ancient calls that urged the old
NOrsemcn. We're voiced by Meyer
Lissner. of the L. s. shipping Board.
speaking last evening at the Y. NJ.
G. A. on Ocean Shipping as
Career"
Painting a career Of adventure
that has the world itself for the
search. he gave a new meaning of
the sea to modern youth. who has
perhaps been made skcptiCal and
thinks that all romance has gone
from the sea. He said in part:
'In no career is. resourcefulness
so developed. initiative and decision
so required, and general knowledge
so brOadened. A man who desires
the safe position. the steady work.
and the assured income, will do we'll
not to go into shipping. A man
who desires by series of spec
taCular COups to run shOrstring
into a million, will meet disaster
in this profession But to the man
to whom interest in his work is as
vital as salary. the man for whom
routine work is poisonous, the man
with Imagination and the spirit of
adventure, shipping as q career has
many things to offer.
"The principal reason for a mer-
chant marine is trade As great
nation with large overseas trade
and with increasing dependency
upon Uade for imports of food
stuffs and raw materials. as well
as outlets for the surplus of farm.
forest, mineral. and manufactured
products. the United States should
not be dependent for the ocean
transport upon other nations"

SOLUTION OF IRISH
PEACE FORECAST
Thomas w. Lyons Says Dali
Election or Plebiscite
Will Settle Issue.

Whether Ireland will accept the
measure of independence accorded
her by England will be finally set
tied either by a plebiscite on the
issue o. in the next election to the
Dali Eireann. according to cable
grams received yesterday by
Thomas ". Lyons. national secre-
tary of the American Association
for the Recognition of the Irish Re-
public.
The first cablegram came from
EamOnn De Valera in answer to ore
sent by Lyons pledginG the assOcia-
tion to continued efforts in favor OF
an Irish republic. be Valera's
answer Dlaces the Irish Republicans
in favor of plebiscite, providing
it is free from threat of war.
De Valera calls attention to the
need for funds t. carry on an s!CC-
tion campaign. the Dali Eireann
funds being in the control of Irish
Free State party. He states that
in his belief the irish people suli
are as much for Il republic as ever.
As a result Of Inc exchange "f
between Lyons and De
valera, Michael Collins. minister OF
finance to the Dali Eireann, sent a
to Lyons to assure him
and the association that the people
of Ireland shall at an early date
be given the opportunity to accept
or reject the treaty with England.
He stated that the provisional gov
ernment would not threaten war or
those opposing it.
Collins further stated that the
of the provisional gov
eminent would not be financed by
Dail Eireann funds. To this Lyons
replied by cablegram asking Col
lins if these funds would be avail
able to Republicans in order that
they might have resources for a

England would not make war if the

BUDGET BUREAU. !.
FIRE EQUIPMENT
NEEDOF DISTRICT
Commissioners to Ask
Transfer of That Which
Is Not Being Used.

Equipment that the District gov
ernment can use and that the Bu-
reau Of the Budget has in surplus is
to be requested Of that body by the
District Commissioners today. 'Tt
is their business to help u.s." said
Commissioner James r. Oystsr. in
announcing this policy,
The suggestion was first made BY
George 8. Watson, chief Of the hre
department. that the army might
have an extra fve-ton truck, a
searchlight wagon, or some extra
fire extinguishers no longer needed
and could transfer to the fire de-
partment.
Commissioner Oyster thought so
we'll OF the suggestion that he has
had the fire department. make a list
Of some OF their needs. Chief Wat
son responded by asking for the
above mentioned equipment. several
automobiles, a number of acetylene
torches and a great variety Of
smaller tools.
The Treasury FIRE Of wednesday
resulted In evidence that some Of
the fire departments hose Is no
longer serviceable. Three breaks
interfered with the effectiveness Of
the fire fighters and yesterday the
District Commissioners were forced
to order the immediate purchase of
5000 feet of hose in the open mar
ket.
The report OF Chief Watson
showed that more than 50 per cent
Of the hose, amounting to 5l.700
feet, could not be depended upon TO
stand the test of a really serious
fire.

FURTHER falling
OFF IN DEALINGS
Prices inclined to Droop With
out Developing Any Ma
terial Weakness

Now York. May 0.--1t is rather
curious the twenty first anniversary Of
the May o panic. a black day in the
history Of the financial world, should
have been celebrated today with one
OF the dullest and most colorless stock
markets since last March. There was
n further pronounced contraction in thu
volume Of dealings, indicating n with. Z.
drawal OF both outside interest and a
slackening Of pool operations. Price
movement continued irregular but the
variations were much narrower than
any Of the preceding sessions.
BY reason Of the mixed character of
the dealings It would be difficult to tell
just how much Of the further selling
wns liquidation and how much 1t rep.
resented speculative selling by the pro-
fessional traders for reaction. The
| operations altogether were Of ftful
sort and the tendency Of the market
| to become dull on the reactions super
| fcially indicated the selling was not
Of an impressive character. On the
other hand, the spasmodic recovcries
lacked the snap and stability which at
tended the rallies recently in all the
moderate backsets.
In the absence Of better excuse, the
slowing down Of the speculative ma
chinery and ragged movement Of prices
was popularity ascribed to the uncer-
tainty attending the outcome of the
Genoa Conference. Ever since this his
toricnl gathering first commanded the
attention of the market and financial
community there have been days when
the outlook appeared to be very favor
able. Then there have been days when
1t looked as II the conference would COL
lapse in a complete failure. With the
fate of the conference apparently hang
ing in balance, a good many today were
disposed to regard 1t as failure. The
rebound in the foreign exchanges at the
outset did not reflect such an unfortun-
ate ending and there were quite few
on the street who we're still confident
to put their bet on Lloyd George pulling
the gathering safely through the rapids
yet.
Trading during the first two hours
was smaller than in any similar period
since last March. Commission houses
reported general slackening Of public
interest. Offerings Of oils and motors
extended to shippings. tobaccos and nu-
merous unclassifed specialties, where
reactions ran from to points. The
decline was temporarily halted on buy
ing of Crucible, Baldwin and Vana-
dium, together with sharp rally in
