RESTLESS, is REPORT
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Jan. 1S.-Unrest prevails
in southern Ireland, says the Dublin
correspondent of the London Times.
who intimates that followers of Eamon
De Valera may be engaged in stfmu-
lating disturbances.
"A spirit of extreme republicanism, :"
the correspondent declares still flares
in the south, where large bodies of
armed men refuse to accept the treaty
between Ireland and Great Britain.
There has been an epidemic of rob-
berry ana other crimes of violence in
Dublin and in rural districts which
demands strong measures from the
government. The whole country will
heartily support the provisional Irish
government in any measure taken to
establish order, but the next few
weeks, while English forces are being
withdrawn, may be a difficult time
in the island"
A newspaper published in the in.
terest of the followers of De Valera
is said to have appealed for funds to
organize popular opinion in favor of
the republic.

ed for the mouse today to complete
enactment of the bill passed by the
senate to give the farmer representa-
ton on the federal reserve board. The

Wiping out by amendment the clause

LARGE ART GALLERY
NEEDED BY RICHMOND,
SAYS MRS. JOHNSTON

Growing need for larger quarters for
the public art gallery, with its swell
ing permanent collection and large ex.
hibitions, was voiced by Mrs. Melville
F. Johnston, director of exhibits for
the Richmond Art association, when
she addressed the Woman's club Tues
day afternoon in the gallery on the
25th annual exhibition by Indiana
painters.
The galleries in the last few years
have become a gathering place for
clubs and musicales, in addition to
serving its functions as a gallery. Mrs.
Johnston pointed out the fact that the
gallery is too small to serve as a meet
ing place for the organization much
longer. The permanent collection OF
paintings which hangs in the south
gallery has grown to such a size that,
with few more additions, it will be
impossible to hang more pictures in
the room.
Pictures Crowded Out
That the gallery is too small for
the exhibitions. which have been grow
ing, too, in the last 25 years, was
pointed out. In the present exhibi-
ton by Indiana painters % pictures
could not be hung because of lack OF
space. The handsful of visitors that
used to frequent the exhibitions have
swelled to hundreds. The Sunday
afternoon openings have been attend
ed by from 100 to 800 persons all
during this season.
Mrs. Johnston talked informally on
the Indiana exhibition, dealing chiefly
with the canvases to which the Mary
T. R. Foulke prize and honorable men
ton We're awarded. Some of the new
exhibitors, notably Lucy Taggart, were
discussed at some length and their
paintings exhibited.
Preceding Mrs. Johnston's talk a
general meeting of the club was pre-.
sided over by the president, Mrs. Fred
S. Bates. Mrs. George G. Burbanck
gave a short talk, in which she urged
the women to aid in Russian relief
Department chairmen also gave short

though nameless, shall glorify through
the ages the nation that gave him
BIRTH" said Mr. Child. by the honor
we do him we honor his country and
his king. By this tribute we lay upon
this altar we hope in some measure to
add to the tokens of love, faith and
trust flowing from the people of the
United States to the people of Italy.
Common Pledges.
ut is proper at this moment when
we stand together at the last resting
place of one who made the ultimate
sacrifice to a high cause, that we, who
are living should pledge to each other
the fulfillment of the high purpose es
held i'll common by our two govern.
ments and our two peoples. 1t is fit
ting we should pledge to each other
devotion to justice and tolerance /;
faithful labor and unselfish service to
truth in all our words; loyalty in our
lives, and honesty in all our deeds.
1T is for US, in whose veins the
coursing life blood still flows, to keep
always in our hearts the memory Of
the last moment of this soldiers life
that sudden space of pain, that
twisting body, that tightening of the
muscles, that last agony. that last mo
ment, before he who gave all to his
country and to his fellow men fell
into the eternal peace of death and re.
ceived from the hand of God his meas
ure of infinite mercy.
Urges Self Sacrifice
ITO the honor brought to this spot
by the unknown warrior himself, my
government and my people, and we
who represent them, can today add
little We have faith, however, that
we can bring here a high resolve.
With the hearts and minds of our two
nations in accord. we may together
pledge here a service of self-sacrifice
less complete but no less valuable and
immortal than that we honor in this
unknown soldier.
Nation and nation, we share that
virtue, that bravery, that dedication,
that spirit of devotion which we now
honor in this soldier of Italy. He is
not alone Italy's soldier, for by the
virtue that is in us, we Americans
have earned the right to call him
ours
