The Nightcap' isn't like The Bat, for instance, because the latter is only a guessing contest whereas our new play tells a real story in a logical way, and the mystery is logical. In cidentally. The Nightcap' has some mighty fine comedy situations, too l think this is about the best part I've ever had. for I've always specialized in mystery plays and have done my best work in them."

at Conference Of Irish
Ministers.

London-The possibility of estab.
fishing martial law in a part of Bel.
fast was foreshadowed by Winston
Spencer Churchill, secretary for the
colonies, in the House of Commons.
He declared the situations in Belfast
was far worse than in all the rest of
Ireland and that the government was
prepared to consider martial law with
the military authorities.

But, he added, action could be TAX
en- only in agreement with the Ulster
government of whose strong efforts
to compose matters in the city he was
aware.
Mr.. Churchill believed the Catholics
of the city Of Belfast would favor
martial law SO that control might be
placed in the hands of impartial i'm
perial troops. He suggested the ques.
tion ought to be discussed at the COM
ing conference Of Irish ministers.
The proposal to draw Gordon Of
imperial troops along the frontier also
should be discussed. The plan, he
thought, would be feasible about the
middle of April, when the troops could
go under canvas.
Army Rule, Pending Agreement.
Such measure, however, in the
opinion Of the colonial secretary, are
only palliative and the proper way to
tranquilize the position was by a
friendly agreement between the North
and South.
The conference of Irish minister's
he said, would manage its own pro-
cedure. The British government had
not decided to interfere, and If the
Irish representatives preferred to dis
cuss matters solely between them
selves, the British ministers would
withdraw.

Acceptance by the Ulster govern
ment of the invitation to attend the
Irish conference in London cleared
the way for gathering Wednesday at
