Irish Parliament to Pay
 Loans Placed in America
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Dublin, Jan. 4.-The Free State parliament considers itself the legitl- mate successor to all the previous Dails which functioned as Irish par liaments in opposition to the British, and Is preparing to assume their fl nancial obligations. Chief of these are the Republican loans f1oated in Ireland and the United States.
 A formal bill has been submitted to parlamenit by the government au- thorising the paying off with interest of those loans. To the first loan Ire land subscribed f37s,ooo and Ameri- ca $5.00o,0o0. To the second Ireland contributed f35 and America ss20.- 900. All these bonds are now to be paid in full. This intention was fore shadowed in the speech of the gov ernor general at the opening of the present session. and the government bill. which probably will pass without opposition, is thus certain to receive the assent of the governor general as representing the king.

Emigration to America
 BOthers the Norwegians

Christiania- Jan, "A series of conferences of semi official nature are shortly to take place under the aegis of the Norwegian Home Office to consider the best means of stop. ping the constant exodus to NorweEi an subjects to America.
 During the last twelve months the number of emigrants from the coun- try has reached an alarming, figure, so much 50 that the military authort. ties In some districts cannot obtain the necessary quotas of men for the yearly conscriptive training
 One suggestion being put forward is that the spsrsely populated north. ern provinces of Norway should be colonized, the colonists to be en- couraged by state aid to cultivate the land, form communities and other wise utilize the vast areas that are as yet entirely wild.

NEW YORK SHELTERS
 PROVINCE OF RUSSIA
Government is Under Direction oi Car and Efficiently Directed by
 Governor and Stan.

By Tn. Associated Press.
 New York, Jan. 4.--NeT York boasts foreign colonies from all the countries of the globe, but few New Workers know that, within the con fines of their great metropolis there exists an organized province of the Russia of the Czars, firmly knit and efficiently directed by a governor gen eral and q staff of provincial officers
 The province has no boundaries Its headquarters shifts weekly from one east side meeting hall to another It's exchequer is oftimes barren. but the hearts of its citizens are rich in faith that some day they will again live on the soil of the Russia of their fathers.
 Several hundred Russain men and women, driven out of their homeland by the Sostets and held together here by their patriotism, formed the pro- vinoial government. Many of the exiles had noble titles, others were of flcials of old Russia. Now many of them are day laborers and few are sffIuent.
 Each Tuesday night they meet in q renre0 nall ana reNlte memories or their days in Moscow and Petrogrsd. There are Russian songs and Russian dancing, speeches, poems and aneo- dotes
 The governor general is in charge. His staff constitutes g reception com mittee. Two generals laboriously draw up the curtains. Another for mer army officer is accompanist at the piano.
 The scenes bring the audience back 10 the great opera house in Petro- grad. to receptions in the homes of the upper classes Then an elocution- ist recits poems. describing the down fall of the old life. and hush of bitterness and sadness falls over the listeners,
 But the sad mood Is dispelled when the lieutenant governor initiates two old Babushshki In constantinople de. scribing the splendors of New York. Their roseat misconceptions of the new world make the hearers rock with laughter.
 Then the province disbands and its members go back to the far from roseate reality of their lives in exile.
