MUST Be NO LAX|TY IN DRY FIGHT
MAINE WHITE R|BB0NERS TOLD
|DA|L TREATY GROUP
| TO GAIN STRENGTH
IN JUNE ELECTIONS

Dublin, May 22.-(By A. P.)-The
labor party has list of 81 candidates
forthe June election. But thus far no
other candidates have been announced.
Before Saturdays agreement was
reached, the Farmers Union was con-
sidering putting forward candidates.
1t is thought there will be many un-
contested seats. The expectation.
however, that the whole election will,
like that of 1920, consist of unop-
posed returns. is not entertained at
the publicity epartmentof the Dali
Eirea1n.
In any event the supporters of the
treaty will see some increase in their
majority in the new Dali, for the cleo
ton will include four members of
Trinity College who favor the treaty
a9l who are not members of the pres
ent Dali. Any Independent candi lat s
who may succeed would, it is gener-
ally thought also be for the treaty.
At both previous assemblies of the
Dali the oath Of allegiance to the Irish
republic was taken, but it is not GER
tain that there will be any oath at
all in the third Dali. The oath was in
the Irish language, in which the word
for republic was given as "Saorstat,"
which means free state. All members
could take the oath in the form, but
the Trinity College men would hardly
take the republican oath.
The Dali will include members for
the Ulster seats. and under provision
nf he 10 +rNn 4
as uncontestcd returns and fall 80
their present holders. All these, With
the exception of one, hold seats also
in the southern parliament, so that
the point concerns only John O'Maho-
ny. member for Fermagh.
The Ard Fheis is expected at tomor-
rows meeting to approve unanimously
the Collins DeValera agreement which
preserves for the present Sim Fein
solidarity and will keep the organiza-
ton in the strong position of being the
only organized body of electoral opin-
ion.
BY the terms of the treaty the cleo
ton to the free state parliament must
be held within II months of the sign
ing of the treaty and an exact express
sion of the average public opinion will
have to wait until then. In the Ard
Fhcis the Sim Fen clubs of Ulster
are strongly represented. At the last
meeting they raised the question of
the position Of the Nationalists in the
six counties area. The agreement for
n coalition cabinet now forces recon-
sidcration of the Ulster problem. 1t
must be decided whether the united
Dali cabinet will accept the Collins
Craig pact and endcavor to withdraw
all Sim I'cin activities in Ulster or
whether it will adopt an attitude of
conflict.
There are some who thing that an
undertaking might be given that no
! Sim Fcincrs from southern Ireland
would in the future interfere in the six
counties. thus leaving the northern
Sim Feiners to fight their own bat
ties with the northern government
within its jurisdiction.

SENATE PASSES BILL
REVISING ARMY And
Navy PAY SCHEDULE

Washington, May 22.-The Senate
passed today after only brief debate
the House bill fixing a new basis for
officers and enlisted personnel of the
army. navy, marine corps, coast
guard, coast and geodetic survey, and
the public health service. Two
amendments We're added and the
measure now goes to conference with
the House for adjustment of the diff
ferenccs.
Provisions of the bill are effective
July l, upon which date the present
war time basis of pay and allowances
automatically expire and which
would have been supplanted by the
1908 schedules had not action been
taken on the revision bill.
Chairman Wadsworth of the Spec
ial Committee in charge of the bill
declared it was written on an entire
~ new plan which he asserted was
the first effort to put the pay of the
services on scientific basis. Mr.
WadSWOrth claimed that the measure
would save the government a total OF
nearly $4,000, 600 in 1923, as compared
to the present rates of pay but it
will cost approximately $1,000. 00(
more than the 1908 basis computed on
the present strength Of the services
affected.
In writing the bill, Mr.. Wadsworth
said the joint commission which con-
Quoted an extended inquiry into the
subject. sought to oqualiZe and ad-
just the rates of pay so that the
compensation Of officers and men
alike would be computed on a COM
bination of length of service and
rank
The chairman said it guarded
against what he termed the "stagna-
ton in promotion SO that an officer
or man automatically will receive in
creascs in salary after given periods
of years while at the same time ac-
cording to the senator's explanation
the government is protected against
"the evils of too rapid promotion
and the consequent rapid increases
in base pay

quarters, heat and light are done
away with and a single allowance
covering all and adjustable to meet
changing living costs was substituted
so that, the senator said, the per-
sonnet of the services can live as
Americans ought to live. modestly,
yet with self respect and free from
worry about getting into debt"
Cognizance is taken of the man
with dependents and he is accorded
more than the unattached officer or
man with view to providing, "a
modest competence" for all.
Senator Wadsworth explained that
while the pay of some men would be
cut, others will receive increases and
he believed that on the whole 1.-THE
result will be one that will encour-
age men to make the services a ca
reer with knowledge that the future
holds prospects worth while for
them"

Fog Still Hangs Over
Region

! Brest, May 22-(By A. P.)-The

Finistere- Ushant light alone was re-
sponsible for the catastrophe to the
British steamship Egypt, according
to Captain LeBarzic of the freight
steamer Seine, in his report to the
ministry of merchant marine.
The Seine rammed the Egypt Sat-
! urday night and nearly 100 persons
lost their lives in the disaster.
Among them were two Americans,
| Mrs. NJ. l.. Sibley and Miss V. NJ
Boyer, missionaries on their way to
! India.
ION Saturday at 40 2. NJ. the fog,
became so thick l gave orders to,

says the captain in his report.

the engines. But too Iate-a terrible
| crash occurred, my ship striking the
otferother amidships.
II ordered all the boats lowered
and secured the sea for hours pick
ing up several dead and also many
in whom life was not extinct"
The disaster occurred a few miles
from Green Rocks, where the Drum
mond Castle was wrecked in June
1896 with loss of PAT lives. A
heavy fog still hangs over the shores
of Finistere, making the work of the
searching parties difficult
When the vessels came together
those aboard the Egypt did not real
ize at first the extent of the damage
caused by the Seine. 1t was some
time before the liner began to heel
oNr, and then the passengers dashed
in great alarm to the deck. Captain
Collyer urged them to be calm, and
ordered out the boats for which
there was rush. The Lascars, it is
asserted, used clubs in an attempt to
get possession of the boats but the
officers drew their revolvers and
drove them away.

rushing for the boats, all the women
would have been saved" This dec
laration is made in a signed state
mont given to the correspondent of
the Evening News at Brest by JOS
eph Duff, Scotchman who was a
passenger on the Egypt.
The correspondent declares that
there is ample confirmation of
panic. although both passengers and
officers of the ship are extremely
reticcnt. He met Captain Collier
walking about today as if in a daze.
All he would say of the tragedy was:
"I am captain of the Egypt and
she is now lying at the bottom of the
ocean,"
Robert f. Devan. an American
su",i>or, admitted there was a Ger
tain amount of panic. \,
A. w. IIarwick, the senior wireless
operator was not on duty when the
collision occurred, but he rushed to
the wireless cabin and took the place

MOTHER O'MINE.' '

A story of the world and it's peo- pie, "Mother O'Mine," Thomas H. lnce's latest drama for the Associated Producers, has been announced as the feature of the White Grand theatre program Wednesday and Thursday.
 The forthcoming production, mel odrama of metropolitan life, is en- acted by an all-star cast consisting of Lloyd Hughes, Joseph Kilgour, Betty Blythe, Betty Ross Clark and Claire Mcdowell
 The plot, briefly, deals with the in- volved situations arising from the de- sires of Robert Sheldon, the only son of his mother, to seek the opportu- mites that the city has to offer over his native small town. His mother gives him letter of introduction to prominent wizard of finance, who is, unknown to the boy, his own father who has deserted his family years before under the drunken SUD- position that his wife's infidelity has made the boy the son of another.

Discover ing his situation, he accuses the finan- cier, who, enraged because the boy has prevented the consummation of a big deal, viciously attacks his moth CTS name A fight results in which the wizard is accidentally killed by his own revolver.
 The only witness to the affray, the slain mans mistress, perjures her self on the witness stand to secure the boys conviction and sentence to the electric chair. From that point onward the mother moves into prom thence, her unselfish sacrifice and de termination constituting the basis oi many suspensive situations.

EXAMINER IS GRADING
 PAPERS OF TEACHERS

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat:
 Nilonia, March 21.-County Super intendent A. A. Parson, Jr., who held the regular quarterly examinations for teachers licenses at Conway last week, is spending a few days at his home here grading the papers. He states there were 43 applicants for license who were examined
 The people of this section are glad to know that by the splendid work of Prof. Parsons the county is mak- ing rapid progress along educational lines and feel sure that Faulkner will soon have much better rank than siXty-second if Prof. Parsons is given any cooperation in the work he is trying to do. We know there is not county official anywhere who is working harder at the job, and we are certainly proud of him and his splendid church work as a citizen of Vilonia.
