The eighty four year old widow

gan from the mound in Grant park
where st. Gaudens, the sculptor had
located it, Through most Of her
life she had ably seconded the gem

IRISH PEACE
NOT YET IN SIGHT
London Newspaper Man Re.
turns After Five Months
Stay In Ireland.
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch ]

London, February ga change
from nom committal view of the
pacification of Ireland to "a cauti-
Gus but undougted optimism" among
well informed residents OF Dublin
is reported by the correspondent OF
the Daily Mail, who has just re-
turned from the Irish city after an
absence of Ave months.
The correspondent says that 70
one in Dublin actually declares that
peace is in sight, but that nearly
everyone is convinced that the dis
integration of the republicans has
set in and that a fresh outbreak OF
violence and destruction will in
crease this undermining of the re-
publican strength. -
Looking To Great Britain.
The writer stresses the great
disunion" among the republicans
and says that their only point OF
agreement is in the singular hope
that Great Britain will negotiate
with the republicans over the heads
of the Free State government. The
correspondent represents DeValera
as oscillating greatly, sometimes
fayorfng and sometimes disapprov
ing the burnings and kidnapings.
The campaign OF destruction OF
country houses has been helped by
communist funds from England, &C
cording to the writer, who adds that
republican emissaries quite recently
were sent to intervieN Soviet poll
ticians In Switzerland.
The Irish government, he as
serts. holds evidence that in re-
turn for arms and money, sugges-
tions were made that the influence
OF republican Irish organizations In
the United States would be secured
to obtain recognition of the Soviet
by the United States"

French government by the German
charge d'affaires at Paris. it was
announced here today.
The German government reserves
the right TO demand full satisfaction
for alleged acts of violence in the
Ruhr, and vigorously protests
against such acts.
In the note Berlin gives its yer.
sion of the occurrences at Gelsen-
kirchen on February IL, when two
French gendarmes and a German
police sergeant were wounded. The
sergeant died later.
The note calls attention to the
subsequent measures undertaken by
the French occupational authorities,
referring to the imposition of fine
of 1e0000,000 marks, and to the ar
rest of members of the police force.
The communication alleges that the
latter step was attended by brutal
excesses on the part of the French

"The German government, tho

Khama, as ruler of the Bamang:

English missionaries. AS boy of

After coming to the throne King
Khama decided to suppress alco-

moralizing influence that native
beer had upon his tribesmen, he
forbade the sale of this beverage
and decreed that no foreign spirits
might be imported into his terri
tory. These efforts we're not en- !
