LONDON, April ln.--An acute diplo-

between Great Britain and Russia as

REBEL STAFF CHIEF
| CAPTURED IN ERIN
Liam Lynch Wounded in
Fight-RevoIt Believed to
Be Near Breakdown.
BY the Associated Press.

DUBLIN. April 10. - Liam Lynch.
chief of staff of the Irish irregulars,
has been captured, it was officially an
nounced this afternoon.
Lynch was captured by the Free
State forces this morning at Knock
naSalen. near Newcastle, after an en-
Eagement, in which he was seriously
wounded.
The Irish irreguIars have been re-
duced to such desperate straits that a
summer campaign on their part is i'm
possible. according To captured docu-
ments made public 10y the publicity de-
partment of the Free State army.
In one of the documents the officer
commanding the first southern di-
vision of the irregulars reports:
The present state of the division
is that we have been fought To 4
standstill and are tlattened out. In
the Cork LIST. Sd and 4th Sri rigadcS
we have tWcnty-nine killed. twelve
posts captured and six seriously at
tackled. If five men are arrested in
each area We are finished.
Morale is Going.
"The men are suffering great priva
tionS and their morale iS going. The
enemy is in a very strong position
with several spare hattalions at Cur
ragh."
The divisional officer further says
he is quite content to continue until
a meeting of the republican cNecu-
tive. when he desires to satisfy him
self that what We are fighting for
We can win mIlitarily. but these are
the only conditions on which he Is
carrying ON.
Extracts from the correspondence
show. according to the government
publicity department, what the high
thinking" irregular leaders are do
ing. An alleged communication from
the adjutant general To the president
dated February 20. says: The quar-
termaster general is not quite cleal
what our minimum peace terms are
What should | say to him.
Minimum May BE Zero.
The purported reply of the rresi-
dent to the adjutant genera two
days later. reads: "Fh" obvious
answer is that our III minimum Will
he the maximum that conditions Will
enable Us 20 obtain. Under ""ndl-
tions of which it is possib!c /" con-
ceivc, this maximum might be aS luW
as zero. Peopl" talk sometimes rs
if there We're nothing in question
but our desires"
The captured documents are re-
Garded as showing how derisivcll
the situation is adjusting itself IL
favor of the Free state. The u,ImjS-
sion that Big seal" operations by
irregulars are no longer possible Is
considered very significant

to consider the position further. This
adjourned meeting should u" hcl-

thought possible the scale may bs

Much comment is provoked by

GOVERNOR GETS
CEMENT REPORT
Professor Willis, of Columbia
University, Makes Survey
of Industry for Silzer

TRENTON, Aug. 29.-(By The
Associated Press)-Governor Silzer,
Of New Jersey, has been studying
the cement industry from the stand
point of the road construction pro-
gram of his state, and in this con-
nection he has received a letter from
H. Parker Willis, professor of bank
ing at Columbia University, New
York. Professor Willis was selected
as an impartial reporter on condi-
tions in the industry. He sets forth,
as a result of his Investigations, that
the average earnings of the eleven
largest manufacturers. of cement in
the East were 7:3 per cent for the
year 1922.
Professor Willis letter / npart fol-
lows:
1.-THE Industrial results Of the year
1922 on the part of these mills have
been the production of the largest
volume of cement in their history.
For the II companies under con-
~sideration, this output was 2~S,774,191
barrels, or over rs per cent of the
entire product of the country as a
whole. Gross sales of the IL com
panies, comprising both new and old
product, were worth $49, 592,872. The
relationship between the output thus
indicated and the capital invested
will be inferred from the statement
that the aggregate net worth of the
invested property of the concerns as
reported was $87 ,003,767. On this
actual investment, the mills have
earned a total net income after ex.
penses and taxes amounting to S6,'
363,461, or an average return o.
about 7.3 per cent for the entir'
group.
Total cash dividends declared
during the year 1922 were S2,276,
634, or an average percentage o
slightly over 3.5 per cent on a tota
capitalization of $~64,664,061 Greek
oning both common and preferred
stock as the basis of c~omputation)
-Four companies declared no divi
bends whatever.
1.-THE total allowances o depre'
citation and depletion of every kline
aggregated, during the year 1922
for this group OF companies, a tota
sum of $~2.9S4,014, or the equivalent
of about "a per cent of the entire
net worth of the group as already
stated"

THIEVES IN TRUCKS RAID
FARM NEAR MATAWAN


MATAWAN, Aug. 29.-For some
weeks past the Thornes, who have a
farm a short distance from this bor-
ough, have been troubled with
thieves who come in fast motor
trucks and cars, stealing crops. Sew
eral complaints have been made to
the borough officials, one recently
when a party of men supposedly
from Newark filled eight barrels
with sweet corn and were about
ready to move 1t away when seen
by a member of the Thorne family
and frightened away before the bar
rels could be placed on the truck
Sunday another attempt was made
to take stuff from the place. This
time 1t was myrtle, a running vine
upon which grows a purple flower.
used in some medical preparation.
The men had filed two large bags
before they were caught. The
Thornes attempted to make them
pay for the stuff, but they refused
and were then taken before Recorder
Gustav Gesswein who made them
pay for the myrtle at the rate of So
a bag. The men paid the bill and
proceeded along their way. Record
er, Gesswein failed to obtain the
names of the men.
