British Ambassador Will Co- operate if Asked by America
us PERSONAL OPINION

Sir Esnc Howard Agreeable to Cma-
 cellati0n of Importing Rights, He
 Says in Reply to Request of Vir-
 giIlia Luni6ernlan.
 Washington, May 25 R-Sir Esme Howard, the British ambassador, is personally willing to relinquish the time honored privilege of importing liquor into the United States enjoyed by foreign diplomats.
 If the United States intimates a desire to cancel the privilege" he said at New York last night, he Will! be glad to cooperate with other members of the diplomatic corps in complying.
 It was made clear in statement issued by the British embassy here that the ambassador. who is dean of the diplomatic corps, was expressing his personal opinion and was not speaking on behalf of the corps.
 The ambassadors statement was drawn from him after he had been shown an article prepared for publi- cation in a number of newspapers this morning dealing with corres- pondence between Sir Esme and James T. Carter. Lynchburg, Vir- ginia. lumberman.
 The article shown to Sir EsIne. the embassy statement said, was in- correct. The embassy declined to make public the correspondence without the consent of Mir. Carter, who initiated it.
 A copyrighted article from Lynchburg published by the Wash ington Post this morning, which was not shown to Sir Esme, says that Mir. Carter. whom it describes as a prohibitionist. sent the ambas- sador's letter and copy of his own 
 Hoover with demand that "neces- sary steps be taken immediately to accept the proposal of the British ambassador"
 The lumberman, questioned at Lynchburg early today, declared he had not kept a copy of the ambas- sador's letter and refused 10 com- ment on it or divulge the contents of his message to Sir Esme.
 The Posts Lynchburg article says Mir. Carter approached President Hoover with his demand armed with a letter from Sir Esme How ard. intimating that withdrawal of inc privilege of diplomatic liquor would be gladly accepted and scrup- ulously adhered to-"
 "The gratutious offer of the envoy 10 forfeit the liquor privileges on behalf of the diplomatic corps in the event such a suggestion were made by the American government" the article continues, was in reply to a letter from Mir. Carter. The latter had urged Sir Esme to join hands with the better element of the pe6- pie of the United States and try to help enforce the prohibition laws of the country
 'Sir Esme Towards answer point ed out that the government of the United States voluntarily granted to foreign diplomats the privilege of transportation and using alcoholic beverages. The British ambassa dor then declared he had no doubt if the American government would suggest that this privilege be with drawn, such suggestion would be cheerfully agreed to and meticulous- ly observed by the diplomatic corps. .

 Crewe. Cheshire, England, May 25 N-Charges that employers have told those working for them they will lose their jobs if they vote for labor parliamentary candidates in the British general election May 30 were made by former Premier Ram say Macdonald in an election ad- dress here last night.
 He expressed a desire for .an act of parliament forcing political par ties to disclose sources of their fundS charging that favors were granted industries and individual firms in re- turn for contributions to campaign chests.
 If the employers in order to get the safeguarding duties threaten their working people that unless they vote with them they will lose their jobs. I will challenge that as being illegitimate." MT. Macdonald declared.
 4. Fighting Cash''
 ''In this fight we are up against cash on the other two sides. I would like to pass an act of parliament that every political party and organ ization taking rart directly or indi- rectly in elections, should register themselves and, like the trades unions, should put in every year a full statement of income and expen- diture.
 T would offer no limitation. All I would want to begin with would be to yet the facts. would like to get the source of the liberal fund and the conservative fund and to know how much money they are going to spend by election day. Why. 1t would amaze you. A quarter of . million sterling (about S1,25o,000) would be far too short an estimate. These people who cannot stand an- other penny of taxation can pay ire insurance by subscribipg- ~the ToEx~ party" he said in attacking em- ployers.
 Charges Near Bribery
 Tt comes to this: If you give us . ten thousand pound subscrip- ton we guarantee in odr taxation and industrial legislation to give you the equivalent back" MT. MacDon- ald gave as . hypothetical conserva- tive or liberal promise.
 The labor leader instanced Lord Melchett. the former Sir Alfred Mond, president of Imperial Chemi- cal Industries. Lord Melchett told the shareholders that the company, by reason of the operations of the governments de-rating legislation removing the burden of local taxa ton, had received a present of S1.O0o,o00 . year. That represented a gift equal to t20. 900 in capital. MT. Macdonald added.

New Hats Must Fit With Precision
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Some one remarked the other day that
II long hair does come back into fashion
this season or next it viii be thanks TO
the new type Of hats which successfully
hide the loose ends Of growing hair. On
the other hand, II short hair holds its
own, 1t may be because of the present
type Of hat which hides the short,
Stubby line Of hair at the back and the
hayward locks at the side, which proved
q problem q year or so ago before hats
of the dropping sort had come into
fashion.
The one difficulty about present hats
Is that they must fit with great preci-
sion. This means that you must either
have your hats made to order or else be
willing to spend hours shopping around
to find the sort Of hat you want in pre-
cisely the right size and proportion.
It Is not merely enough to have the
new hat large enough and not o bit
too large around the crown. It's shallow
crown must be of precisely the right
depth, so that 1t will come far enough
down at front. sides and back and yet
not too far down. Always there must
be enough droop at the back to cover
the hair line.
The question Of adjusting the long
back Of many OF the new hats with the
voluminous fur collars of many Of the
new coats Is less Of problem than 1t
seems; for the coat collars are made to
stand well out from the neck at the
back, and the material of which the new

peared to be marvellous discoveries seem
to be his only reasons for his subsequent
impositions, for he sought no profits.
His first forgery was lease bearing
he had produced what purported to be
the manuscripts Of King Lear" and of
Hamlet" and finally a tragedy no one
had heard Of before-"Vortigern."
This play was actually produced at
the Drury Lane Theater as Shake
speare's and with the famous actor,
John Philip Kemble, in the principal
part
While 1t failed because of its short
comings, 1t nevertheless showed that
17-year-old William Ireland had real
ability, which further was indicated in
certain lines he injected into king
Lear" and which scholars accepted as
coming from Shakespeare.
And he had written "Vortigern" In
two months!
The mass Of documents produced by
the boy finally became so great that
every one asked where they. came from.
His only answer was that they were
given him by a certain gentleman for
whom he had performed special serv-
ice. Persistent inquiry resulted in q
confession.

hands of his offspring, who, but for his
unfortunate venture, conceived in the

A London attorney had an inordinate
love for antiquities of all sorts.
His 17-year-old son sought to crafty
the fathers eager hunger for this sort
Of thing.
The result was the William Ireland
Shakespearean forgeries, one of the
greatest literary falsifcations in history.
The boyish William Ireland had but a
moderate acquaintance with literature
of any kind and knew little Of the
Eli2abethan period, but he duped even
scholars who had made the literature of
the Shakespearean day their special
study.
London, one hundred and twenty five
years ago, was in a perfect period OF
Shakespearean research. Booksta!ls
and attics were overhauled for docu-
ments relating to the Bard of Avon.
Among those most avid in their en-
thusiasm was Mr.. Samuel Ireland, who
constantly praised the poet before his
son, read his works aloud of an eve
ming, and was a we'll known collector OF
antique books and prints.
