REINDEER TODAY COULD
 REPAY ALASKA'S PRICE
Use of This Vcnsion In United States Depends Only on Transpor-
 tation Facilities.

Washington, Dec, 1o., - General use of Alaskan reindeer vension in the uinted States as an article of diet soon will be possible. depend Ing merely on the matter of trans portation, the bureau Of education predicted today in an annual re- port which said that Alaska's do- nestle herds now are worth sl,- 5OO,0OO more than this government paid Russia in 1867 for the entire territory.
 The industry, which began in 1892 when the bureau reported the first of the animals from Siberia, has developed until the herd at present numbers some 50,0O0. about eS5,000 Of which belong to the natives who rely upon deer for .!Telihood, as well as for food and clothing.
 A problem confronting the bureau Is to reorganize the industry on q Cooperative basis so as to handle the increasing herds more efficient ly and to market the meat more economically.

IRELAND IN NEED
 OF YANKEE HELP
Not Money But Ideas and Genius,
 CoseraYe Says
BY MILTON BRoNNER


 Dublin, Ireland, Dec. l9.--"What does the new Ireland need from America? Chiefly contributions Of American ideas and business genius. It isn't mere money wo need, al- though we can use that. We need constructive vision to help us build up our industries"
 This was the message given me by William Cosgrave, president of the Irish Free State during two of the most crucial years of Ireland's history, These ?i months have carved great changes in Cosgrave. Care and long hours of work and worry have lined his face and left deep circles beneath his eyes. He has spent himself and continues to spend himself without counting the cost.
 A man of medium height is this leader of Ireland's present destinies, with a shock of light reddish hair streaked with gray. He walks with a quick stride and radiates nervous energy.
 "We do not see ourselves as com- mercial rivals of France, England, America, or any of the great na- lions, but we can become the equal of Denmark, which has made her. self rich through the sale of dairy products. We have the climate and the soil and an English market but three hours away. We have the be- ginhings of industry. but we need
New Britain herald., 1924-12-19

more factories to give emr loyment to our people and keep them at home"
 A period Of comparative peace has come over this trouble-torn land and Cosgrave would harness all energies in the interest of re- construction.
 How does the future of the Irish Free State loom?
 T am an optimist," he replies. But I am an optimist without H. ,Ision. I wear neither black glasses nor rosy ones. l am trying to see things in the clear light of fact,
 When nations and races have suffered they cry for quick reme- dies. The people of Ireland are no exception.
 The world must remember that we have had battles both within and without. And the Free State has enemies within and without who seek to bring the house crash ing about our ears.
 But the time of reconstruction has come and we will turn the cor ner all right If our people will back us up. We cant build new Ire land in a week. We have inherited troubles created by centuries Of neglect and strife. To this has been added five years of fighting and de- struction. That gives you a bit of a picture of the situation faced.
 The healing power is within ourselves. It Is particularly fin the rassionte love of our people for the land. In intensive agriculture will lie our ultimate salvation"

DUTCH IN FAVOR
 OF DISARMAMENT
Advocate Of Small Armies Greeted With Great Applause

The Hague. Holland, Dec. 19.--If 1 the deafening applause that greeted Professor Van Embden's recent anti mllitarist!c address is any indica- ton Of the general feeling Of the country, the people of the Nether- lands may be said to be virtually solid for disarmament.
 The spokesman for the abolition of the army and navy met General Snyders, formerly commam.er in | chief of the Dutch army at q public debate before q packed audience in Inc biggest assembly hall of the Dutch royal residence. Thousands of people belonging to all classes Of society eagerly followed the argu- ments on both sides. A battery Of sound amptiers had been installed for tho heneft of a multitude outside which had been crowded out.
 Both speakers agreed that despite : the Geneva conventions the menace 1 of war had not been wholly lifted from the world, and they envisa ged Hollands position in the eVentuality ! of another great war in the light of the fact that the country had mira cuouslv escaped from being dragged into the lsstf.world conflict. How | could Hollands future safety be hest insured. they asked.
 By total disarmament. the profess EypI Ii lee f t,No n r1N |, f but only by adequate preparation to keep the enemy out, declared the general.
 Professor Van Embden made Ills audience shudder by recounting the horrors Of gas warfare. citing re- ports by BrigadiHr General Amos Alfred Fries. chief ot the American chemical warfare service, Major General William Luther Slbert and General Tasker H. Bliss. "1f the next war finds us an armed natton' we shall be utterly and irretrievably lost" declared.
 General Snyders agreed that Hoi- land coveted nothing, and that the next war COull IF\'.l N' Hll NSH H' " sive one as far as Holland was con- cerned. He pointed out that Hol- land was an agricultural, not an in- dustrial country, and therefore Ill equipped for the production Of war like material. As 10 gas warfare, ms ociriop was that it had come to stay and timely defensive precautions were essential. He said that injuries bv gas were not necessarily more horrible than those produced by red hot shell splinters, How, he de- manded. could the country he saV- cd from being ovcrrun by belliger- cnt unless it possessed the means of resisting encroaChments.
 Prospects of further heavy mlll- tarv expenditure. as forcshadowed in the budget estimates, had not missed their effects on the audience Gen cral Snydcrs' appeal for prepared ness was punctuated with shouts oi No more money for war" and the end of his speech was drowned li tumult, The meeting broke up with the audience singing anti-milltarrlsuc songs

IRISH REGISTERING
 OFFICIAL COMPLAINT
By The Assoctated Pfess.

By The Associated Press,
 Dublin. Dec. la.--The Irish League of Nations society has sent 10 the secretary general Of the h. tcrnational Federation Of League of Nations Societies a protest against the British note objecting 10 regis tering with the league of the An glo-Irish treaty. The protest de- clares the British move detracts from the position of the league and lreland's membership in it. It as serts that failure to register the treaty would have been virtually d repudiation by the Free State of the league covenant.
 There has also been an inter- change of communications between the league and the Free State gov ernment on tho subject. Desmond Fitzgerald, Free State foreign min istr replying to a questioner in the Dali Eireann today. said the Free State had received q communica- ton from the secretariat of the league of nations Tuesday referring to the British note with regard to article IS of the covenant and stat ing the British view. The Free State had replied that it's opinion differed from the British, and it has Sc informed Great Britain.
 The question was the interpreta- tion of article IS, providing for the registration Of international treaties ! and MT. Fitzgerald said he had no doubt the Free States opinion was accurate, but that the League of Nations as whole was alone quail l fled to make q decision.
 The Free States letter 10 the league will be made public, but its letter to the British government could not be made public without the consent of the British. it was stated,

up in the final frame, doubled to left ; Brenner, pinch hitting for Good, fol- lowed with along fly to Hargrave in right and Spencer instead of holding the bag, had strolled off and had to go back to second. Had he held the bag he could have reached third almost by walking. Brausen forced Spencer when he rolled to Long and the former ended the game by going out stealing.
 The fielding of Kelly and Cueto was the shining spot of the game, these play CTS making several snappy stops and throws that brought them ovations from the stands. The hitting of Jeanes and Huhn loomed up big in the closing game, the Baron center fielder rapping out a circuit drive and single and SCOT ing three of the five runs credited to his club. Huhn hit two singles and was also responsible for one half of the Bears runs. Both teams hit the road Sunday night, the Bears going to Atlanta, while the Barons went to their home grounds at Birmingham. Bates will probably pitch the opening game at Birmingham.

TY MAY SMASH KEELER'S MARK
 NV WALLOPING

M ETROIT, July 20.-Ty Cobb,
 the Detroit manager, has &C.,
 cumulated more individual records than any player who has performed in the major leagues and is still at it. During 19 years in the American league Cobb carved his name as one of the imm0Rtals of baseball and when he surpassed Hans Wagner's record of having batted 300 or better for 17 consecutive seasons (Cobb's mark is 1S) little more was expected of the Georgia peach.
 The wear and tear of 19 cam paigns in the major leagues is sup posed to slow up a player beyond the point of record-breaking ability; in fact, the majority of players disap- pear from the big leagues long be- fore that time. With all the laurels he has won and making new statis- tical records in every game this sea- son, Cobb is on his way to another mark that has been on the books for several years-the consecutive years in which player has made POO or more hits in a season.
 Willie Keeler, one of the most ex- pert batsmen of his day, turned the trick for eight consecutive seasons. Cobb tied that mark last year, and this season has a fair chance of running his string to nine. He was we'll above the century mark when the 1924 campaign reached the half way post.
