IRISH FREE STATE
TROOPS unable TO
stop lRRECULARS

Dublin, Jan. 30.-By A. Pr
That the Free State government
still is confronted with grave task
is shown by the Intensified cam
paiGn Of destruction and incendiar-
ism that is being carried ON by the
Irregular forces. These acts are
proof of the determine
ton OF the Republicans to resort to
every possible means to prevent the
from functioning and
break the countrys morale. and
thereby, if possible, prevent the
of elections.
by means known only to them
selves, the 1rrcgulars continue TO
arms, ammunition and eX-
plosiNcs and to manufacture bombs
and land, the destructive powers of
which are alarmingly great. Two
houses were mined Monday night
and completely demolished within a
few minutes.
In The campaign of incendiarism
no consideration is being shown oc-
cnpants Of doomed houses. Under
threats ut the pistol point they are
required to turn out of tEeir homes
on q moments notice. Last night
Mrs. corrigan, wife of a state solicit
tor, was given two minutes to cvac-
uate her home. She and her maids
had o snatch three children from
their beds and without dressing
them dash out into the cold. wet
night. Their departure from the
building was followed Immediately
by the terrific explosion of land
mine. which brought down the
house in ruins before their eyes.
Portions of the populace of Dub
lin are becoming apprehensive and
are asking whether the government
forces are strong enough to protect
the lives and property of citizens.
Some uneasiness also is apparent be-
cause of the admission of William
+. COsgravc in the Dali Eireann that
n few government officials had been
suspended on suspicion of compile
ity in the activities of the Irregulars.

day by Supreme Court Justice BLUR.
Mr.. Stokes lost his original suit

and permitted to retain the custody
of their children. Since then COM
plCatcd litigation has followed and
Mr. Stokes moved that the divorce
suit be restored to the calendar of
the court.
Stokes instituted the original di-
vorcc action against his wife in 1919,
eight years after they had been
married.
In October. Stokes made his mo-
ton to reopen the case on the
ground that lie had new evidence
pertinent to the divorce case against

MERGING
DIPLOMATIC and
CONSULAR SERVICE

Washington, Jan. 30.-Re-organ-
iZation of the diplomatic and con-
sular activities of the L. S. into one
interchangeable foreign service Or
Sanization as sought by Secretary
Hughes, was approved today by the
House foreign affairs committee,
which reported the Rogers bill pro-
Niding for consolidation of the two
branches.
Complete interchange of person.
mel. a single revised salary scale, eX-
ira allowances to representatives at
foreign capitals. thus eliminating the
necessity of large private means for
diplomatic officers and eXteOtion OF
the civil service retirement act to the
service are among the provisions of
the bill.
Increases in salaries would be
authorized for many posts, chiefly
for secretaries and lower officers. but
the compensation of ministers and
ambassadors would not be changed.
Secretaries would be given salary in
creases from the present $4,000 to
$4,000.
Pointing out the necessity for adj
ditional allowances at diplomatic
posts, the report of the COMMITTEES
said it was "depiorable that by de-
NAL of adequate compensation the
United States. the greatest democ-
racy, now restricts the admission to
the Office of secretary in the diplo-
matte service, to the members of a
small circle of society, who are will
ing to provide from their private
fortunes for the support OF their
positions abroad"
Former Ambassador John w.
Davis. who represented the United
States at London during the war,
was quoted by the committee as hav-
ing said of his experiences:
1T was eminently a time for con-
Servatism and quietude, but with all
that. living as l was, modeStly count
ing the expenses of myself and fam
lily. it cost me roughly, three times
my salary every year / was there.
between $4,000 and 100000. l do
not believe that anybody could pos
sibly have done it decently with any
less expenditure than that"
The report dealt extensively with
the testimony of Secretary Hughes
to urge the consolidation for the
sake OF efficiency in the foreign ser
vice. The secretary said that under
such a organization. it would be
possible to place men where they
could perform the most useful ser
vice, regardless of whether the post
was diplomatic or consular in its
functions. The committee estimated
the added cost of the plan at 500
600 year.
