Belfast—Dublin experienced three ambushes Saturday night, in one of which a four-year-old child was killed. Explosions and volleys in the suburbs were so continuous as to resemble the tumult of a small battle. The first ambush was near Merrion square. Explosions were followed by rifle and revolver fire. Inhabitants sought their cellars, while pedestrians were stampeded. ' Three bombs had been flung at a lor- ry filled with soldiers. This precipi- tated an exchange of shots of several minutes. Two civilians were wounded by bomb splinters. The second ambush occurred on the south side, where lor- ries were bombed. The third ambush occurred when two lorries were attacked in the south suburbs, From Queenstown it was reported that after services in the cathedral and the churches Sunday, all males be- tween 16 and 40 years were rounded up.

GREVE, MANAGER Painless Parker The Famous Dentist EOPLE living twenty-eight offices, P and all my associ- ates in these offices have been taught how to practice painless dentistry as well as I can do it myself. We have fixed up the teeth of over a million people, and call our way of practicing “the E. R.

He finds it costs less, too. The good tobacco taste lasts so much longer he doesn’t need to have a fresh chew nearly as often. Any man who uses the Real. Tobacco Chew will tell yor that. a hundred miles or more away come to my offices to have their teeth fixed up. I make it a rule that those from a distance shall be waited upon immediately and their work be completed first, so they can go back home as soon as possible. Years ago I discovered how to extract and fix teeth with- out hurting, and was so successful that people called me “Painless” Parker. My practice has grown until I now have Put up in two styles W-B CUT is a long fine-cut tobacco RIGHT CUT is a short-cut tobacco fr |{nformed that if any crown i) | Son, to the barracks.

D SLUMP IN GUT OF PINE PREDICTED Spokane, Wash.—Member mills of =|the Western Pine Manufacturers’ as- [| |Sociation produced approximately 1,- Te 630,000,000 feet of lumber in 1920, ac- J | cording to a report made at the annual meeting of the association, held here, by A. W. Cooper of Portland, Or., sec- i | retary and manager of the association. The figures were based upon the ac- fe | tual cut of 33 mills, and an estimate of J|the production of the remainder. A total of 52 mills in eastern Ore- eastern Washington, western Montana and Idaho are members of the association. The cut was the larg- est in the association's history. It was estimated that the cut of the association for 1921 will show a de yj | crease of approximately 20 per cent from last year, or about 1,800,000,000 feet. ‘ Only five sawmills, owned by mem- bes of the association in attendance at the meeting, were reported to be in operation. RAPIDS’ POWER IS SOUGHT Oregon and Washington Delegations Lay Plane For Power Piant. Pendleton, Or.—Plans to enrich Ore- gon and the northwest by millions of dollars annually by the erection of a $25,000,000 hydro-electric plant at Umatilla rapids on the Columbia river took definite shape here at a meeting of 150 delegates from eastern Oregon and southeastern Washington com- munities. The project, as outlined, would re- claim thousands of arid acres in east- ern Oregon and southern Washington, supply power for electrification of rail- roads and for commercial use and would make the Columbia river navi- gable from its mouth practically to the junction with the Snake river. Gilbert W. Phelps, circuit judge of Pendleton, was elected president of the permanent organization which is to be known as the Umatilla Rapids Power Site association. Penrose ie For Soldier Bonus. Washington—An American Legion delegation was told by Chairman Pen- rose of the senate finance committee tht he would favor increases in federal taxation if necessary to provide a cash bonus for war veterans. He express- ed doubt, however, whether the legis- lation could be put through in this session. U. 8. Firm on isiand of Yap. Washington. — The United States will not recognize Japan's mandate over the Island of Yap unless Japan agrees to accept this government's con- tention that the island should be in- ternationalized insofar as the cable landing station feature is concerned, it was said at the state department. British Proposal to Cance! Debts Fails. Birmingham, England.—The British government formally proposed a can- cellation of all inter-allied debts, but the pools were unacceptable to the American government, said J. Austen Chamberiain, chancellor of the ex- chequer, in a speech to his consti- tusate bere, SO ot ee ee HOUSE OVERRIDES VETO OF ARMY GUT Washington, D. C.—The joint reso- lution, dir-gting the stopping of en- listments until the regular army is re- duced to 176,000. was adopted by the | house over President Wilson's veto. | The vote was 271 to 16, one member | voting present. The president’s veto message was hot read to the house until six hours | after its forma! delivery, but once read, action was swift. “hose voting to override the veto included 92 democrats. All 16 members voting to sustain the president were democrats. | The president in his veto message | informed the house that he was un- able to see in the condition of the world or in the needs of the United States any such change as would justify reduction of the force from 280,000 men. LOSS ON FLEET EXPECTED $25,000,000 Merchant Marine Deficit | Fer First Six Months Likely. Washington. — At least $26,000,000 will be lost in the operation of the government merchant marine fleet in the first six months of 1921, accord- ing to the estimate of Alonzo Twee- dale, general controller of the ship- ping beard, in the report of hearings made public by the subcommittee of | the senate appropriations committee. Present conditions will probably con- tinue for two or three months there- after, Mr. Tweedale said, but then con- | ditions, in his opinion. would get back to normal and the government would. begin to make a profit on its fleet.
