near Cape Hatterus :

“Deering captured by oil-bur

Naturally the favorite theory concerning these events Is that a pirate craft is operating In the Atlantic. Rear ■ Admiral Nulton. commandant of the f Philadelphia nnvy yard. Inclines to this

j view. He says:

i, "It would he possible for an outlaw i- -Taft to run wild for a short time, and i it could do considerable damage to ‘ -hipping.

Another theory Is based upon the rt that about a year and a half ago e New York police seized document*

At this riling the outcome < f the affair, so far us the admiral Is con•■erned. Is not known. What Is known, however. Is that tin* Incident of ids speech, the attack on him by some of the Irish-Americans and the possibility of his being disciplined for what he said has aroused a general feeling against hyphenates in America comparable In that that existed during the war. Senators, representatives. Secretary Denby and even President Harding were almost swamped with letters nnd telegrams protesting against any punishment of the admiral and Indorsing the sentiments he had expressed. Hie pro-Irish were not silent, by any means, but the communications from admirer of Sims were largely In Hie mujorpy. Neither side was permitted to make n demonstration in New York when the admiral landed, fully a thousand police ielng mossed to prevent such actio::. The Ulster parliament, which was organized recently, was formally opened Wednesday by King George, who, with Queen Mary, journeyed to Belfast for the purpose. No least part of the elalHirate ceremonies usual on such occasions wa« omitted, the Irish tepubllcnns created no disturbance and everything passed off In orderly manner. Tito king In hi* speech from the throne said he spoke "from u full heart." tmt he uttered nothing hut platitudes, to the disappointment of those who had expected some sensational pronouncement on the Irish

question.

Ill the parliament in London more Important statements concerning the Irish troubles were made. For the Ilrst time the government admltti-d that there is real war in Ireland, and Worthington Evans, secretary of war. more than Intimated that It wou'd tie a war to the finish. He said the government was sending trooiis continually to the Island and would contlnu* to send them as quickly ns possible, and that these troops would be given every support. Lord Chancellor Birkenhead spoke to the same effect, and even more emphatically. making It plain that unless a settlement Is ranch, d and the southern parliament functions, there will tic a military domination campaign much like that employed against the Boers In South

Africa.

The most spectacular exploit of the Slim Felners last week was the kidnaping of Earl Baudoti. for many years the king's lleuteuunl of County Cork, and the burning of his castle In Bantry. Colonel Lambert of the crown forces was killed near Kiiockroghec • and in reprisal the entire village was

burned.

misquoted | er.slly perceive the value of the exploit,

except that It proved our aerial bombers and destroyer gunners are pretty good marksmen, at least when the target Is stationary and helpless. The first .est wa» made "by a bombing squadron of the air forces, and the submarine was speedily sunk. Then a bunch of destroyers charged I'-boats, at full speed, and filled them full of shells In quick time. Other tests are to follow. Of course, the targets were submarines that once belonged to Germany. Gen. Charles G. Dawes of Chicago 1ms been persuaded by President Harding to take the place of director of the new federal budget system and Is already on the job. He had an Interview with the President and then announced that he would ask a number of experienced business men to serve In the budget bureau without pay. The first of these is William T. Abbott of Chicago, whom General Dawes Invited to serve as assistant director. He also requested that Brig. Gen. George Moseley and Col. Henry Smither be detailed to help him. Both oi them distinguished themselves In organization work during the war. Mr. Dawes made some cutting remarks about Hie inadequacy of the budget legislation, adding: "One might s well be handed a toothpick with hlch to tunnel Pike's peak. It Is evlent that if this, the greatest business crisis which our government has ever on fronted. Is to be properly met, chief reliance will have to he placed upon something else than the pitiful machinery provided ly law with which to exercise the wide powers extended to the budget bureau. I am. therefore, acceptlng the poslUoo of director of Hie budget only with the Idea that the patriotism of the bureau chief* and Hie country ns a whole can be aroused In tills emergency that It will he was Hie emergency of war four years

ago."

With Its mind set more firmly on present economy than on adequate national defense, congress last week about made up Its mind that the United States could get along safely with a very small army nnd navy personnel. Despite the utmost efforts of the advocates of preparedness and contrary to the known wishes of the administration, the army Is to lie reduced to 150.000 men by October 1. and the enlisted personnel of the navy Is to be cut to UM'.,000. At least 50,000 men must be discharged from the army, n*gardlcs* of their enllstmeatAerms. in addltlcti to the normal discharges, which ure estimated at 20,000. Senator New of Indiana declared the 50,000 can sue the government for their salaries If the terms of their enlistment

contracts are thus ignored.

The senate In this yielded completely to the demands of the house, and In return received usjfurauce that the Borah disarmament amendment would be adopted by the house In subst!t’-.te for the Porter resolution. This, too, will bo (Ustastetul to the administration. It may be President Harding can a id will do something to prevent this r *111111 to a state of unprepared-
