British Armies Are Speedily Leaving
Ireland.

Dublin.-British evacuation of Ire
lanId is proceeding more speedily than
was anticipated. Each day sees large
patches of troops leave Dublin and
other ports Departure of the Dublin
garrison is due to begin this week
and the newspapers are specializing as
to how the vacated barracks will be
used. It is suggested that they may
be employed to relieve the housing
shortage. The new Irish government
may need some of the barracks for
the new Irish army, although nothing
has yet been decided in regard to the
size of that body. 1t is taken for
granted that it will be established
promptly and green uniforms are be-
ing manufactured in Dublin on a large
scale.
1t is noteworthy that the evacuation
of the British has occurred everywhere
without manifestation, however. by the
people. There has been no sign either
of popular rejoicing or regret.
Big Penalties for LawIess.
The transition from one government
to another has been rapid, but Grim
inalS have done their best to take
advantage of any confusion arising
from the change There have been
daring bank robberies and holdups
but the new government is dealing
vigorously with the criminal element.

GERMAN REQUEST
GOES TO ALLIES
Reparation Commission Decides
to Transmit Proposals to
Allied Governments.
u. S. IN CLOSE TOUCH
Letter Transmitting the German Note
10 the Allied Governments ASKS
Them to Decide as Soon
as Possible.

tParis.-The allied reparations COM
mission has decided to transmit Ger
many's latest Preparations proposals TO
the allied governments and await their
decision as to whether they will treat
the question with Germany themselves
or refer back to the commission to
handle.
In a letter transmitting the German
note to the allied governments the
commission asks them to decide as
soon as possible whether they Will
PASS Judgment or leave the matter
entirely in the hands Of the commits
sion.
The letter which has been made
public makes no recommendations, it
is understood but merely recalls the
agreement recently reached at Cannes,
providing for the payment of 81, 0O0,OOo
gold marks by Germany every ten
days, pending a decision by the allies
upon the whole PREPARATIONS issue.
u. S. to Get Copy.
Members of the commission refused
to make any comment as to whether
the note from Germany was satisfac-
tory or not. The only comment III
reparationS circles was an expression
of regret that the Germans did not
state the exact length Of time during
which they desire freedom from cash
payments and the actual amount OF
money they would be able to pay this
year.
A copy of the note was given I'M
officially to Roland W. Boyden, the
American unofficial representative on
the commission, for transmission TO
the United States government, as the
commission is anxious to keep America
i'm closest touch with the current rep
arations situation.
The German government sent five
lengthy annexes with its note, explain
ing in greatest detail the points made
in the note itself. The annexes have
not yet been given to the allied gov
ernments because of the time involved
i'm translating them into French.
Press Dislikes Reply.
The French press is practically
unanimous in the opinion that the
German reply is unsatisfactory.
The Intransigent says: "The reply
is made up of too many if's'-too
much menace and too great demands"

INSISTS THAT ABANDONED
WELLS MUST BE PLUGGED

Lewistown-Efforts to protect the
oil fields of Montana and especially
those producing light gravity oils,
from incursion of water due to failure
Of operators to plug abandoned wells
in or near producing fields, are being
taken in this state by G. B. Beecher
of the q. S. Bureau Of Mines, cooper
ating with L. J. Lehman, and Edward
J. Baker, county clerk and county
attorney, respectively, Of Fergus
county.
Mr. Beecher said that this law,
passed during the last legislative ses-
sion, has been violated in many parts
of the state. It requires certified
affidavit, filed with the county clerk
in the county where the abandoned
well was located, giving proof that
the abandoned well was plugged. The
reason is to prevent water seeping
from an abandoned well through non
productive to productive sands.
