Ratification of the treaty came af ter a day of intense excitement and heated controversy. Although the re sult was as had been expected, the majority ' in favor: of ' the agreement was greater than had been counted on almost up to the last minute. A tense, strained silence prevailed while the vote was being taken, and a gasp of relief went, up from the supporters ,of the treaty when the re sult was announced. A, dramatic' scene ensued, when de Valera stood up and in broken voice, which vibrat ed with ' emotion, declared that "the republic" must be carried on. Eevntually he broke down so cim pletely that he was unable to pro ceed. The Dail Eireann, with one ac cord, applauded and cheered him. , After voting ratification of the treaty tonight the Dail Eireann ad journed until Monday. Before ad journment was taken Eamonn de Va lera, having announced his resigna tion from the presidency, asked that tfie members associated with him .... should meet him tomorrow at the Mansion House. Michael Collins protested against the calling of such a partisan gather ing, whereupon Mr. de Valera rose to insist on it, but broke down and resumed his seat amid hearty ap plause. Situation Appears Chaotic. The situation at the adjournment of the Dail appeared to remain cha otic. The Dail will meet on Monday' and there is no disposition revealed by de Valera and his followers to abandon the financial struggle. l he future control of the Irish re publican army is tonight the subject of anxious Speculation, as Charles Burgess, who strongly opposed the treaty, is the minister of defense. Ireland Continues to Face Internal Disorganization. Dublin, Jan. 8. (By the Associat ed Press.) The peace treaty has been ratified and prayers of thanksgiving went up from, the people in all the churches today, but Ireland continues to face internal disorganization, giv ing rise to. the greatest anxiety. The split in the Dail Eireann has been heightened and intensified by the vote on the treaty, and the future was never more obscure. At different hours today the two factions held con ferences at the Mansion house. The Dail will meet again tomorrow in public session. It has become apparent that Eamon de Valera's resignation as president of the republic did not take an offi cial form, and the outstanding ques tion tonight is whether he will make effective his expressed intention to resign, and if he does not what will become of the Dail. ftiany . believe that the opponents of the treaty plan to keep the Sirm Fein parliament in being while the supporters of the treaty endeavor to establish a pro visional government and carry out the terms of the peace agreement Graded School House Robbed For Third Time in 3 Weeks" Thieves Entered School.

FUTURE WARS TO BE STRIPPED' hp nnRRnna t.rmam tvhwivit ' ITY LET LOOSE ON WORLD Washington, Jan. 6. (By the As-! sociated Press.) A five-power con-j tract to impose the age-old penalties, for piracy against naval commanders who violate accepted laws of naval, warfare was approved today by the armament committee of the Wash-; ington conference. the first session of the allied supreme . It completed the Root formula for 'council here today, when unanimous suppression of U-boat terrorism at approval was given tor the calling sea, and the committee then moved; of an international, financial and eco forward toward a proscription of gas j nomic conference in which Germany warfare on sea or land. Again Mr. Root drew the resolu tion to effect the prohibition. Again an immediate five-power contract to abandon gas or other similar chemical weapons as. beyond the pale of human tolerance is pro posed, to be worked later by-world agreement into the fabric of inter- national law. And again it seemed certain that,' under American initia - tive, war m future would be stripped of others of the horrors German in genuity let loose upon the world. Italy gave prompt adhesion to the anti-gas project as "a real step in the path of progress and civilization." Adjournment of the committee pre vented the views of other delegations from being1 presented, but all were said to favor the ban on gas warfare. Received Part of Load. Intended for ' Rabid Dog.
