ers Of the Irish irregulars, the pro
visional government disclosed to-day
when it notified the Dali Eireann that
it would move for the erection of mill

The proposed courts also will have
power to deal with persons "aiding or

Of 43 to 16 the Dali rejected the amend
ment offered by Gavan Duffy intended
to eliminate the word "king" from

stitution defining the composition of
the Irish legislature. Several Labor
deputies supported the amendment,
which was opposed by the independents

Cosgrave said that the King was the
nominal head Of group Of nations
whereof the English nation was one.

power Of the Kemalist army should not
be exaggerated. 1t consisted, he said,
Of. six army corps, one of which was
a cavalry corps, comprising in all $780,

could be regarded as fighting troops.

"Iss equipment is very varied" added
the general, embracing Turkish, Rus

with first-class European army"
General Maurice said that virtually
the entire Kemahst force was now be-
tween Panderma, on the south shore of
the Sea of Marin ora, and Smyrna. Ow-
ing to the lack of railways, which. were
damaged by the Greeks, and the bad

it would take fully ten days for the

France Refuses TO
Ratify Berlin Paying g
Belgium in Bonds
Poincare Protests Belgian
German Agreement for
Treasury Notes in Lieu
of Cash for Repara,ions
Special CobEs TO 1'hs Tribune

'opylhehL, AfSS, lNeW 1OEh lTtDuU6 Inc.
PARIS, Sept. 26.--Acting on instruc-
tions from Premier Poncare, Frances
delegate on the Reparation Commits
sion to-day refused to ratifv the Bel
tgiar- German agreement whereby the
Reich tenders $67,500,000 in Treasury
bonds in lieu of cash to satisfy the re-
maindor Of the 1922 cash reparations
payments.
Belgium two days ago notified the
Allies that she had accepted these
bonds, backed by the Reichsbank, as ef-
fective means of payment Doubtless
tho Germans entered into some agree
ment with tho British banks to guar
antee their bonds, but this phase did
not figure this afternoon when the
commission was called upon to approve
or reject the agreement and France
protest followed.
Poincare's objection Is based on the
theory that until the French govern
ment is notified as to what part of the
bonds will be taken by the British
banks and the nature Of the collateral
the French must take the position that
their 1928 dues from Germany are
jeopardized, Under the priority pro-
vision Of the treaty France will not
receive the first cash payments from
the Reich until 1928, and to-day's move
would seem to be precautionary
measure to insure payment.
The Premier, who is resting at the
village Of Sampigny, in Lorraine, re-
ceived the Belgian announcement yes-
torday. He at once communicated with
Nj. Mauclere, acting first French dele.
gate on the Reparation Commission.
and ordered him to tell the commission
tkat the Reichsbank guarantees were ia
sufficient, because this institution Is
still producing more than 4,0Oo, ,00O. 900
paper marks daily. The German bonds
which have been handed to Belgium re-
quire that Germany, beginning in
March, 1928, must pay $4,000, 900 gold
marks, or $12,500,00o, monthly during
the succeeding half year, ard Poincare
contended that unless the bonds were
sufficiently backed up by British banks
Berlin might invoke this burden in an
effort to escape prompt fulfllment Of
the 1928 schedule.
Mauclere was instructed to protest
against the arrangement and to demand
precise guarantees, otherwise Poincars
will insist that any further German de-
fault must be at England's expense.

ing tho fate Of the straits without gs.a.ss-
sia's participation. Russia and Turkey
agreed upon the order in which II was
necessary TO realize. the freedom OF
the straits, and Russia therefore takes
occasion to wgfn the European powers
against repetition Of the errors
based on ignoring the interests OF
those powers directly interested. No
decision with regard TO the straits
without Russia's participation will be
final or lasting. II will merely create
grounds for new conflict.
"Tha freedom OF ths straits which
England has in view signifies the de-
sire Of 8 strong sen power to control

tries 50 as to hold them under threats.
In the first place these threats are

at Astoria where the bogs are being planted to cranberries.
 Dame Nature did the planting here and enor- nous quantities go to waste every summer.
 With cranberries selling at $20 barrel, this ought to cause a stir on the Lower Columbia. Some day the festive bog-trotters may see a ship looming up at the mouth of the river with a cargo of Alaska cSanberries.
 If Children Cry for Astoria, on account of it's cranberries, as MT. Schmpf is proclaiming to the world, they would go wild for the Alas kan product for it is superior in size and quality. When huge brown bear gets a mouthfull of them, he doesn't give a hang about the open season. If he must die, says he, he will die happy. The beasts and the and huckleberry diet
 With little encourag cement, the Alaskan cranberry could be utilized for a profitable new industry. It makes excellent jams, jellies, preserves and candy, and the wine of the high bush berry is incompatible.
 "Big Jack'' Dellinger and others at Astoria are said to be clearing a thousand dollars an acre on cranberries! Just think of the fortunes going to waste here, with the cranberrles growing wild. Messrs. Schimpf, Dellinger and theis cranberry associates ae cordially invited to visit Alaska, soon thereafter to for get about their bogs.
 Growing cranberries is no task in Alaska; they grow themselves, bodies of them no weeds or briars The fun is in the harvesting, of course If MT. Schimpf comes on foraging expedition, he should ballast his ship with pickers regiment of pickaninnies could be kept busy all summer harvesting the crop in the Cordova district.

ing place in Alaska Cordova has no debt, no criminals, and minimum of devil. It is, undoubtedly, the best city in America. It is striving toward the ideal of gray old Walt-A City of Friends.
 There's no feeling of jealousy here for any other city,-that bane of growing towns in a pioneer country. Cordova says to the rest of Alaska, in this new era of harmony and team work, as the mountaineers do upon occasions in Dixie
 ''Ef you and yo' folks love us and we folks like we and us folks love you and yo' folks, there never was folks loved folks like we folks do''
 The Federal Court will imbibe here the spirit of goodwill. It will have little to do cept the initiation of large class of adopted citizens Conditions are conducive to Ameri- canization.
 Judge Ritchie could not please this commun- ity more than by holding an impressive wei come ceremony when the legal work of natural ization is finished. Our newly adopted citi- zens deserve to be treated like welcome guests who become members of the Clan Cordova They should be given the right hand of good fellowship and be assured of the high value of American citizenshp-the greatest privi- ebe and title in the world. It is a turning point in their lives, the foundation date of a new dynasty.
 Cordova is hoping that, before next Christ mas, the fine new Federal Building will be under construction, to be ready next spring for the use of the Court, with every comfort and convenience.
 Judge Ritchie personally, is welcomed as a distinguished Alaskan. and every latch-string is on the outside for him.
 There's a suggestion current for the atten- ton of the Judge. In writing to the Chief Justice, the Hon. William Howard Taft, ,-one of the greatest travellers of the tmes,-the Judge is requested to impress upon him the general invitation of Alaska for visit this summer, together with his Associates, if pos sible
 The idea would tickle Judge Taft. He has a sense of humor commensurate with his size, and would be pleased with the prospect of sec ing his dgnified colleagues feeding the fishes and ssroughing it'' The chances are in favor of his coming, if the invitation were insistent. It would be an ideal vacation. following the Itinerary to be established by the President.
 There being no argument, no possible ob1ec- tions, Judge Ritchie of course, will grant this motion and so report to the Chief Justice.
 Alaska has warm spot in her heart for Mr. Taft The big bears would dance, the eagles would scream, the porcupines would smile, on hearing of his coming, and the owls would hoot welcome, "Hello, Bill"

AMERICA BANS THE HYPHEN

eff America wants really good Amerlcan- ization scheme, she will ahldge all natives 10 return to their native country for six months , visit at the end of five years in America. Those who get back to America will break their necks to become American citizens. " (Kenneth l.. Roberts, in The Saturday Evening Post for February ID.
 That's the absolute truth, attested by every overseas traveller Hordes of aliens went back to their native lands during the war, being promised free land and bonus. They have received nothing and, without exception, as far as known, they are wild for chance to return
 Che thing is absolutely certain the Amer- cans of the native stock are determined never to abdicate control of their country, and they have declared perpetual war against the Thy phenate" The ethnic groups which, before the war; mongreized themselves by hyphena- ton, maintaining their old-country customs and prejudices, have learned now that the use of the hyphen in America is forever under the ban; that any person using it Is considered alien, tolerated only as visitor and lnS no sense American.
 The ban also is being extended to the for eign language press. The mails should bar every publication, except the literature of science and art, which cannot be read by every one in the language of America.
 If any half baked alien wants to realize how superior America is to any other country, he needs only to take one trip across, and he had better go heeled with return trip ticket and American passport arrangements.
 The. Americans did not realize until awaN- tntd by the SC activo draft the Uelil of free aI- mission to tr: aon i.,rdes. Few had any I la that millions of people in this country could not speak or read English and were without any conception of America's institutions of liberty.
 The portals of the country now are being made smaller and restrictions are under way which were due thirty years ago. Never agaln will the riffraff of Europe and the coolies of the Orient find easy admission to shores. The gates of Eden now are guarded by Miss Liberty, aroused, with shield and buckler and flaming sword.
 Another reform is coming, too, unless condl- tions improve: the deportation of undesirables on a wholesale scale, both the alien and the home grown varieties.
 stOh, but I was born in this country-l'm an American by natural right and cannot be de- ported ''..will say the native undesirable. lie is making the mistake of his life By bit of simple legislation our Government can pro- vide an ideal place of banishment. We have hundreds of isolated islands in the great Pa cific.
 Monkeyland is the right place for fools who flout America On conviction of offenses against good citizenship they could be ban ished perpetuaAy or for limited term.
