London, Nor. 23.--London was plunged in a welter of bloodshed when warfare was openly waged between the military and the republicans. £ heavy were the casualties it is yet in possible to estimate the number or dead and wounded. Latest messages from the bullet-ridden city speak of scores of dead and the hospitals filled with wounded in the bloodiest conflict since the 1916 rebellion. Dublin castle, the seat of government In Ireland, Issued the following official statement on Sunday's Sinn Fein reprisals in Dublin: "Sinn Fein murder gangs numbering 12 to 25 each simultaneously attacked the lodgings of the military and legal officers in Dublin. Thirteen officers were killed and four were desperately wounded. All of these men were recently engaged in court-martial duties. "The assailants diligently searched for documents and succeeded In destraying a quantity of evidence.** Following a great lire at the docks^ with coal yards blazing and large ships burning, the lists of dead and wounded constantly lengthening, the frightfulness was increased when armored cars bearing British soldiers dashed into a crowd of 15.000 people attending a Gaelic football game. The field of the game quickly became a scene of carnage as a hurricane of bullets swept over the playing field, creating a panic among the spectators. Ten were killed and at least seventy were wounded. The game was between teams from Tipperary and Dublin. and play had only proceeded for IB minutes when the invasion by soldiers occurred. A well organized attack on former and present officers of the "Black and Tans" is reported in Dublin. Captain Newberry of the "Black and Tans" was shot dead at his residency. Twelve others, most of them former officers, also have been killed. Three men, named Thomas Smith, ' Maclean and Kaldow, were shot at a house on Morehampton road and two others were shot at the Gresham hotel. Another fight during a raid resulted in the deaths of two soldiers and one civilian. Several other persons were wounded. The Sinn Fein attacks were anticipated by the British authorities. It had been learned that the Irish republican leaders were planning a widespread reign of terror by shooting "Black and Tans.** The "Black and Tans" for some tine have been making their rounds in groups of four and five in anticipation of the attacks. Cork, Nov. 23.--This city Is in a state of panic, with man^ of the residents quitting the city and hastening Into the country in fear of further reprisals by the soldiery. The kidnaping of a detective as he was leaving a church was quickly followed by the shooting to death of a boy in broad daylight bf soldiers in a passing lorry.

Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 20.--A nation' wide producers' strike to combat the falling prices of farm products was urged in a call sent out by the National Farmers' union to Its local unions throughout the country. The call, in the form of a resolution adopted at the national convention of the organization here, went forward to secretaries of local branches of the organization, which represent producers of grain, cotton, wool and live stock, said to number 800.000. The proposed strike was urged In retaliation for what the convention considered abnormal deflation In prices of farm products, through which it was asserted American farmera have been robbed of $1,000,000,000 X In reduced value of products now on hand. All farmers were appealed to to hold this year's production from the markets until "profit-making levels" were restored. The action of the National Farmers' union was In line with a "wheat strike" called several weeks ago by the Wheat Growers' Association of the United States. Delegates asserted a considerable quantity of this year's wheat crop was being held off the market. Reduction of production In the future was threatened "unless the pri<*es of our products are fairly readjusted to the end that we may obtain just returns for our labors and Investments" is another resolution approved by the convention. Officials of the organization pointed out that members were not under obligation to obey the terms of the strike, but expressed the belief that such a movement would be effective.

ALLIES' ARMY TO VILNA League of Nations Army Is "Officially Created at Geneva--Troops to Maintain Order. Geneva, fio. 18.--The League of Nations army was officially created Jby the political section of the league. i<Great Britain. France, Spain and Belglum have already notified the league that they will dispatch troops to VII* no to maintain order during tfhe plebiscite. The name of the commander of the expedition of the league army is withheld for the present. It Is expected that other nations will be Induced to send contingents to the force which the lobby gossip here credits with being the nucleus of real "league army."

Demand for Merchandiae Shows Mod- , erate Increase--Cotton Mllla Curtail Production. -•, t . '• 1 . Haw York, Nov, 22.-- Dun's Review of November 19, says: Certain changes for the better have appeared In business. The Improvement Is slight, and none at all Is visible in various quarters, but some of the Indications are more favorable than In recent weeks. While immediate commercial revival Is not expected, sounder conditions In the future are foreshadowed. Demand for seasonable goods has moderately increased, and offerings of merchandise at lower prices seems to hfe meeting With a somewhat broader response. A decline In October building permits does not mark a new development but the decrease--10.9 per cent--is larger than has been witnessed in recent months. Narrowing of the disproportion between the Rrices of independent steel companies and those of the leuiltng producer has continued. The demand nearly everywhere has receded. Signs of improvement in the leather trade have not l)een wholly lacking, and a better feeling has developed In the East from the fact that some large buyers have made inquiries. A little more activity has also appeared In the West. Development of a somewhat broader Inquiry and demand for dry goods appeared this week, though price concessions are still necessary to stimulate buying. With curtailment of cotton production at mill centers increas> ing steadily, less than 400,000 bale* of raw cotton were consumed In th's country last month. For the ulxth consecutive week bank clearings <jis close reductions from last year figures, this week's total of $7,976,830,- 036 as reported to Dun Review be ing 12 per cent, less than the corresponding period of 1919. The exhibit is again decidedly against this year, showing a loss of 17.0 per cent. FRENCH FIRE ON THE REDS Laves $100,000 tor Animals. New York.

V• J t Geneva, Nov. 24.--A resofa&Oii'presented by M. Vlvlani, inviting the council of the League of Nations to confer with the various powers with a view to constituting a force sufficient to put an end to hostilities in Armenia, which was joined to Lord Robert Cecil's resolution along the same lines, was adopted by the assembly of the league. Supporting Lord Robert Cecil's de? maud that the assembly appoint a committee to examine Into means for ending the hostilities between the Turkish nationalists and the Armenians, M. Spalekjovitcb of the Serbian delegates recalled the Unite*' States at one time had approved the use of the' American ' fleet to suqeor the Ar^ menians. It was recalled here in this connection that Senator Harding was the senator who reported the resolution. (A resolution requesting the president to send marines to B&ium was adopted by the senate May 13 last. It was oaered by 8enator Harumg on behalf of the foreign relations committee.) A, J. Balfour of Great Britain, speaking on the resolution, said that if the United States had been willing to take the mandate for Armenia, she bad the men, mopey and spirit to make her on ideal mandatory. The league lias been unable to accomplish anything with regard to the Armenian situation, Mr. Balfoar admitted, because the condition in Armenia, he argued* was not such as the ieugue was organized to deal with. Mr. Balfour said an appeal must be sent to the 41 states of the league for a united effort to save Armenia. Rene Vlvianl of France, following Mr. Balfour, said all were agreed that compassion would no longer suffice for Armenia. "It is not the fault of France if the league today is disarmed before the situation In Armenia is righted," said M. Vivianl. Virtually the entire assembly applauded this statement. It was notwl, however, that the British delegation did not applaud. 'If the conference had listened to France," continued M. Vlvianl,' "we would have bad an international stuff and an international force to deal with this situation." M. Vivianl presented a resolution inviting the council of the league to consult with the powers with a view to the constitution of a fqree sufficient to put an end to the hostilities in Armenia. Dr. Frldtjof Nansen of Norway estimated that 60,000 men would be a force sufficient to deal with the situation. He thought that If the assembly appealed to the whole world, the United States, although it had refused the mandate, would do its share. Delegate Jonescu of Rouiuania supported M. Vivlani's proposition, and also thought the United States -might be counted on for help. Thq debate gave the impression of everyone thinking of a resort to intervention and yet not wishing to call It by that name. C. J. Doherty of Canada put it as "an exceptional remedy for an exceptional situation." "At the close of tlie debate, however, Lord Cecil said he would favor armed Intervention or any other practical plan of dealing with the situation. ' M. Vlvlani proposed that a committee select one power that would accept tiitt responsibility of taking up negotiations. He carried almost the entire assembly with him in his eloquent peroration in which he demanded immediate action. Mr. Balfour wanted further light on the proposed negotiations. He asked what the French, delegation proposed to offer' Mustapha Keraal Pasha, the nationalist leader, as It was quite necessary, the British delegate said, to offer the nationalist leader ^lther money or territory. He thought It would be difficult to organize an expedition of 60,000 or 80,000 men. "Failure to take practical action here on this question," responded M. Vivianl, "will be to demonstrate tfll default of the League of Nations.** 3- ? • From the NEW ROYAL COOK BOOK Congressman Dies In Crash. /; Pomona, Cal., Nov. 23.--Congressman- elect Charles F.
