Charles-Dawes, “ Chicago, mentioned for the treasury post, is now being considered for the war department and Andrew. Mellon, Pittsburg, appears in the lead for the treasury. ‘This situation was found compli- cated today by the arrival of Ex- Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, who 118 understood to desire the treasury | post in preference to betoming secre- tary of the navy, as has been sug- gested by Harding’s advisors. * Dawes could fit into the war post as well as in the treasury. He was one of General Pershing’s right hand men in France, baving had charge of all pudchasing for the expeditionary forces. Harding estimates that a cap- able business executive could”save twenty-ive millions a year in the war department. Dawes’ services with the volunteer forces during the ; war would also fit him for the volun- tary military training program which Harding has in mind. Harding’s plan is still vague as to details. He contemplates a summer training camp modeled after the Plattsburg camp, where young men cah spend five to six months in train- man from Third ward; Rev.

SITUATIONIN [RELANDTODA RESEMBLES WAR Streets Are Fields of Series of Ambushes BATTLES WlTN%SSED OFTEN BY PASSERSBY Daily Raids Made By Soldiers and Police in Search of Conspiring Parties (By United 'Press) Dublin, Jan. 15.—(By Charles Mc- Cann)—To term the present situa- ‘tion in Ireland as nothing but war is futile, but it is war although of a different sort than in any other place. The business houses, homes and streets are the battle fields of a con- glomerate series of ambusheh and assassinations. The people, mean- time, are living apparently nérmai lives, although sometimes witnessing battle on their way home from work and sometimes being thrust into a row of victims. Recently a prominent lawyer was aroused from his sleep by a commo- tion at the front door, He investi- gated and met a half dozen men clad in civilian clothes. He fell dead, rid- dled by a half dozen bullets. A few nights ago a young man sat in a theatre with his wife. A group approached him gnd dragged him from his seat to thg¢ lobby and shot him. The.bullet glanced and inflicted only minor wounds in his chest, Cir-! cumstances surrounding both cases are mysterious. Neither of the men was active in politics. Almost daily a lorry load of auxil- iaries will proceed along the streets. The crowd w§ll hear the explosion of bombs and one or two auxiliaries will : be wounded. So far, none of these attacls have been remarkably suc- cessful, but some time a bomb is bound to land in a lorry and cause the death of a dozen or more auxil. iaries. Another phase of this unique pic- ture is that of the daily raids by sol- diers and police in search of conspira- ' tors. When the government recent- ly began actively rounding up mem- bers of the Dail Aireamn, they in- ! vaded a little tea shop ten times in as ! many days. The shop looked inno- cent enough but behind its barracks of pastry and confectionery, Arthur ‘]Griflgth and other officials used to unch. i (By United Press) London, Jan. 15.—A communique ¢ Business Houses, Homes and "Harrington broke here FASTING WOMAN LISTENS | TO PLEA FROM MINISTER Mrs. Sadie Harrington Breaks Fast After Abstaining for 48 Days / (By United Press) Danvilld, Ill., Jan, 15.—Mrs. Sadie fast today, having abstained from food for 48 days, following a two-hour plea by Rev.

FIRST BIRTHDAY OF nfe Geneva, Jan. 15.—The first birth- day anniversary of the League of b(l)n- n that day a year ago the first meet- ing of the council was held at Paris and the formal organization of the League effected. The intervening 12 months have been much troubled by echoes of the great war and by the feverish efforts of the world to reach some sort of new equilibrium. The handicap thus placed on the first at- tempt at a world-wide international organization has been tremendous. A year ago the league had 23 de- clared members, Today it has 49, Nicaragua and Hotduras having com- pleted their ratifications, while the 41 delegations comprising the assembly were still in session at Geneva, where six new members were granted ad- mission ,two of them being former encmy states. The present membership of the league represents an estimated total population of '1,247,000,000 to which can be added another 12,000,000 peo- ple living in mandatory territories. Eleven more, states, with a total population of 44,000,000 have applied for membership, leaving a total of only 861,000,000 people wholly out- side. ? One year ago the league machinery consisted of the council and an in- cipient secretariat with insufficient temporary quarters at London. To- gay the league has a home of its own in this city, where the staff of the- general secretariat, consisting of sev- eral hundred people from a score of countries, occupies 175 rooms, while & nearby building has 8 more rooms used for committee meetings and as offices for the various member states. About 60 international treaties have been registered by score of na- ‘ tions under the covenant provision for open diplomacy. Partly through the labors of the secretari~t aud part- ly through a number of international for the carnival and nearly every room will be used for some feature of the event. cgnf:re]ncel held o».:nd;r ht‘l:o ;n;picel of the league, most of the subsidiary § A(Cant’:med on Page 6) OFFICE HOLDOP
