This is the keynote of the policy Of the new Irish government as ex- pressed in public statements in the dail eireann and in private conver- . sations I have had during the last two days. Having obtained a Sweeping vote of confidence and in- mnity for past acts from the dal), the government is now going ahead In a ruthless campaign against the rebels. The attitude is best express- ed in the words of General Mulcahy, commander in chief of the Irish Army, and minister of defense. "We an no longer be squeamish about taking lite when the lives tak- en are those of men who are en- ngering the life of the whole na- "» Must Yield or Die. Orders have been issued trying to spare the rebels. The men refuse to surrender are to be and it is also now a policy of government that the only settle- nen possible with the rebels is com- plete submission and surrender or "We have no desire to be vindic- attord to falter with the state alrs now existing. This ernment has cuosen for its definite ng a constitution and building a Iansation ae which future" gov- 'ernments can begin on the work of reconstruction of the nation. "The fact that some men are in|] againet the government can- allowad to influence our ac- t we "With regard to their leaders, Is quite likely that they will be de- borted from Ireland," which is per- fectly easy, as most of them are wot Irish. Their children probably will be given the choice of remaining in Jail or returning to England, while de Valera may be given the choice of the United States or Colombia. "It is useless to expect restoration or order in Ireland for months to come. There is no organized rebel army in the field, but there are a number of guerrilla bands who raid mansions, rob banks, or ambush troops and then disappear, mingling with the 'peaceable civilian popula- tion." ---- A PARTIAL SETTLEMENT.

Moscow, Sept. 15.--Russia has challenged the Allied occupation of Constantinople. A strong note was sent yesterday to the British High Commissioner at the Turkish capital protesting against the Allied control of the city and straits, "irrespective of 'injuries to the rights of Turkey, Russia, the Ukraine and Georgian, who are vitally interested in free communication in the Black Sea and Mediterranean." The note denounces the Treaty of Sevres as unjust and spollatory and demands that Constantinople be re- stored to the Turks, "whose victorl- ous struggle for freedom Russia warmly salutes and supports." This note on the eve of the Venice conference under Allled auspices to regulate the status of the Near East is the clearest possible warning that no settlement of the Turkish problem can be permanent without Russian approbation. Order Given To Shoot Dynam iters on Sight ' INO GAMBLING | WITH GRAIN US. Congress Passes Act to Stop. Practice. No One Can Sell Grain For Future Delivery Unless He Owns It. Washington, D.C., Sept. 15.-- Gambling in grain in the United States Is going to stop on November 1st. That at least {s the hope of the agricultural block, which has finally passed through both houses of con- gress the Grain Futures act. Gambl- ing of course has always been un- lawful, but gambling in 'grain on boards of trade has flourished through the sale of wheat by men who had no wheat to sell to men who purchased the same without any intention of actually acquiring the wheat. These sales have been re- ported and have furnished the basis ior speculation in grain all over the country. The bill goes into effect on the first day of the second month after its passage. It provides punishment tor any violation of the law to the eatent of a ten thousand dollar fine and one year in the penitentiary. The bili makes it unlawful for any- one to sell grain for future delivery unless he is the actual owner of the grain at the time or owns the lands upon which it is to be grown, unless such contract for sale and future de- livery shall be made and recorded in a "contract market.' The bill not only aims to close up tbe bucket shops but to forbid all dealings in future and all market quotations of grain upon any board of trade or grain exchange which is rot 'a contract market. The secre- tary of agriculture may designate a board of trade to be a contract mar- ket but only upon certain conditions. The bill does not apply to farmers' co-operative associations. | [TEXAS WOMAN FLOGGED FOR RUINING DAUGHTER Given One Hundred Lashes by « Four, Women of Secret Fort William, Tex., Sept. 15.-- Mrs. I.

ENGLISH GETTING SHABBY. Keep From Tallor to Pay Tax-Gath- erer, Says Lord Decles. London, Sept. 15.--Lord Decies, speaking at Oxford yesterday to the Federation of Merchant Taijors, said & writer had been bewailing the lack of smartness in men's clothes now- adays. express an opinion on matters sar- torial in the present company, but he would venture to point to the reason why the English were becom- ing a shabby nation. It was econo- mic and not esthetic. "The new suit contemplated for autumn 'was never ordered; old clothes were cleaned and presseld for another season; and the reproach fell upon the nation's manhood that they were loging their smartness. Was it any wonder? "There was an ancient and libel- lous saying that it took nine tailors tc make a man. He would suggest that a revised version should read 'Every tailor pays the income tax of nine men,' for men saved on clothes to pay their income tax."

Jones declared that In- srector J, Russell Stuart had refused to give him information respecting the success of the students writing on the entrance examinations in the various public schools of the city. Trustee Jones read correspondence which had passed between the inspec- tor and himself in which he had ask- ed for the number of pupils writing and the number who had been suc- cessful in the entrance examinations according to the schools from which they had come, Inspector Stuart ia reply had stated that this informa- tion was not available for the trustee and referred him to Toronto. Trustee Jones objected to this treatment and declared that he had brought the matter before the board inorder that the principle upon which he based his claim might be vindicated. He asserted that he was not influenced by any desire to make invidious com- parisons of the work of various teachers but believed that he was en- titled to such information if he de- sired it, In this claim he was sup- ported by Trustee T. G. Bishop who affirmed the contention that Inspec- tor Stuart as superintendent of the schools was obliged to supply any such information. The inspector declared that there 'was nothing to conceal as Trustee Jones had imputed when he demand- ed the information but he had made it a practice during his twenty-nine years' service as inspector of schools not to permit any information to be come public which might in any way prejudice the position of any teacher. As inspector he had on many ocoas- 'ons referred to the capabilities of the members of the staffs of the schools but such information as Trus- tes Jones desired would , in his © nber of puplls. class would have & bear{fig upon i! standing at the entrance examina- tions and serondly their mental de- velopment would vary, As a specific instance he cited the case of a teacher who had 90 per cent. of his puphis pass 'he examinations one year and only 50 per cent. the next year. This considerable difference was due (n* whole to the mental aptitudes of the pupils. It was, therefore, evident that such information as Trustee Jones desired would be absolutely worthless as a basic of comparison of the capabilities of the various teachers in the city schools. Further more, the inspector believed that it was Inexpedient to make public such information as it would destroy the i ol harmony now existing between the Inspector and the staffs. Mr. Stuart would eontinue to criticize Methods of teachers shold he deem it necessary but In no case would he accede 0 the request of Trustee Jones, -- Not Like Factory Workers. Trustee J. G, Elliott added that the work of the teachers in the schools could not be judged on the basis of figures in the same way as produce tion statistics in a factory because the basis of judgment was the en- thusiasm of the teacher fn atiempt- ing to develop the children into good citizens. Figures such as Trustee Jones requested might disparage the work of teachers who were blameless and in such a case the comparison would be unjust. i , Trustee Mrs. A. Newlands em- phasized the fact that if the informa- tion were to leak out it was certain that mothers of children would wish them to go to the teacher having t! largest number of successes, More- over, She felt that Inspector Stuart waa fully capable of judging the coms potency of the teachers. Trustee Jones' resolution req ing Inspector Stuart to supply e
