IMPORTANT NEWS THE WORLD OVER IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS OF THIS AND OTHER NATIONS FOR 3EVEN DAYB GIVEN THE NEWS OF THE SOUTH What It Taking Place In The Soutfe land Will Be Found la Brief Paragraphs Foreign— Decision by the British government to make an early appeal to the coun try by a general election in an efofrt to fix up a definite Irish policy has been reached according to rumors cur rent in London. In well-informed cir cles, these rumors are ridiculed, how ever, and as yet there has been noth ing to confirm them. It is said the British government feels itself confronted with two atler natives —acceptance of the implied challenge of civil war in Ireland or; acquiescence in the establishment of an Irish republic —as a result of wide spread disorders in the island, culmi nating in attacks on baracks at fifty places in Ireland. Forty-six Germans, ranking from an army corps commander to a simple private, figure o nthe allies' first spec ified list of war criminals to be ar raigned in the Leipsic supreme court. The Poles, helped by the Ukrainians, are reported to be driving the Bolshe viki out of the Kiev district, and are pushing forward. No great loss of life is reported. The British-Japanese alliance prob ably will be continued for another year without change. This is the opinion of experts in the far eastern bureau of the foreign office of the British em pire. The French cabinet has "gone after" the French labor federation with the intention of forcing dissolution of that body. The premier says it is either a case of the federation running the government and the government run ning the affairs of the country. Premier Nitti of Italy has at last lost his portfolio. He demanded a vote of confidence and lost by 193 to 112. Two constables of the Timoleague (Cork county, Ireland), police staation were shot dead on patrol duty by a party of men in ambush. At Bandon, Beargeant Flynn was shot dead while another constable was wounded. Po lice Sergeant McDonnel, belonging to the Cavan force, was shot dead near his hut at Clonakilty, where on the night of March 31 he led his small gar rison in a stubborn resistance against a Sin Fein attack. Germany's military air service has been disbanded under the terms of the Versailles treaty. The commission will leave standing one hangar and one air plane factory which will be used for international air service.

Washington— White house officials say that Pres ident Wilson's war-time address to the Atlantic fleet and messages to Ad miral Sims were laid before the naval investigating committee by Secretary Daniels will the full consent and ap proval of the president. Reports from Mexico persist that Carranza and his party of five thou sand troops have either been captured or slain. President Wilson's bold and auda cious war policy for the navy was laid before the senate naval investigating committee by Secretary Daniels in continuing his answer to charges by Admiral Sims against the navy depart ment's conduct of the war.

Financial aid for exporters was withdrawn by the government. At the request of Secretary Houston, the war finance corporation suspended furth er advances to aid in shipments abroad except such as already have been authorized.

This, he said, did not seem advisable under existing circum stances. Matamoro has been added to the list of towns controlled by the Mexican rebels.

C, Those three and four service strip© ex-doughboys and gobs who have been figuring up gleefully the amounts of their cash bonuses are going to be in for an awful jolt if a decision taken tentatively by the Republicans of the house ways and means committee be comes permanent. Under their plan they will receive no more than SSOO or more than $625 worth of aid under the alternative schemes of settlement, such as vocational training, land set tlement and paid up insurance. President Wilson's veto of the legis lative appropriation bill as containing an infringement on executive authority was sustained in the house against the effort of the Republican majority to override it. Though aided by a hand ful of 28 Democrats, the Republicans failed to obtain the necessary two thirds majority to repass the bill over the presidents' disapproval. The plan of reclamation of land so as to provide farms was changed in the substitute bill to eliminate the SI,OOO loan and also to reduce the au thorization for carrying out the scheme from $300,000,000 to $250,000,- 000. President Wilson's call from Wash ington to the Democratic party to carry the treaty ratification issue into the campaign drew expressions from members of his own party, and also from Senator Johnson of California, leader of the Republican irreconcibale group in the senate treaty battle, and other Republicans. Republican members of the house ways and means committee agreed to bring in a substitute for the soldier bonus bill with the proposal for a 1 per cent tax on sales eliminated as a means of raising the necessary funds. Other tax provisions of the bill would be extended over three years under the agreement.
