IDANGER IN DIVISION - Defeat of Republican Army Most Vital Need, Says Greenwood. LONDON, June 1.—Replying in the house of commons tonight to an attack \on the government policy of reprisals in Ireland and the general inefficiency of the Irish administra- tion, Sir Hamar Greenwood. chief secretary for Ireland, said that the number of troops in Ireland was so short of the requirements that it had been impossible to provide guards for all the public buildings. It was considered incredible. he said, that extremist Sinn Feiners should tempt to burn national posses. sions, such as the custom house. In concluding he characterized the Irish republican army as a negligible minority of the Irish people. The people, he declared, would be glad if the government would rid them of this terror. He expressed th opinion that the hope of Ireland wa: first to defeat the republican army and then to encoutage the coming together of the north and south, which had happily begun. The policy of the government was to Jeave Ireland to the Irish leaders themselves to settle within limits clearly defined by the government. MUSIC WEEK EXERCISES.

Mrs. 8. E. Grant, 635 A street northeast, Tuesday afternoon after a brief illness. Mrs. Crown was a life-long resident of the District, having been born here sixty-nine years ago. As Miss Dyer she married William 1. Knott, and following his death became the wife of David Crown, also of this city. .JFor more than fifteen years Mother” Crown had aided St. Peter's Parochial School, and the Bell Home, Anacostia, by dressing and selling dolls, the receipts from which were turned over to these institutions.

Representative Campbell sald to the examination, that on the way down to Langley Field from Wi ington, “the air was very bumpy and irreguiar,” but Lieut. Ames seemed to realize this and gave very strict attention to his work. “1 do not think any ome felt the slightest uneasiness on account of the management of the plane.” said Rep- resentative Campbell, “because it as the pilot was concerned. There was this condition of the air that he seemed to understand.” Vivid Deseription Given. A vivid description of the flight to Langley Field was given by Repre- sentative Campbell. He said the open window to the right of the mechanician. The air coming through the window came over the engine and was more or less charged with gases. making the air in the car offensive, he said. | Representative Campbell expressed | the opinion that the weather bureau should furnish pilots with informa- tion relative to the weather condi- tions before they attempted to make a flight. “I think,” he said, “if Lieut. Ames could have called up and ob- tained the weather conditions and found out whether or not it was safe to start on an air trip of that kind he could undoubtedly have been ad vised that there were storms forming in the direction of Bolling Field. That would have enabled him to have gone above or around the storm, or remained at Langley Field. SENATE HEARS OF WAGE INCREASES ON RAILROADS Witnesses Tell of Government Raising Pay, Resulting in Less Work. While flat_increases in wages of railroad employes under government expenditures of labor were increased even more rapidiy by classification changes, J. G. Walber. labor expert for eastern lines, testified today be fcre the Senate investigating commit. The number of employes at low- est rates' was greatly reduced after neral increases went into effect. he 4. because men were transferred to higher classes by a series of wage board decisions. ational agreements. which result- ed practically in fixing wages and working conditions on the same basis all over the United States. standard- ized the pay of 73.2 per cent of all railroad employes, Mr. Walbers con- tinued. He fixed the number of rail and the consolidated payroll at $3. 98.216.315. O Whiter, assistant to the presi- this Senator Ball said he hoped the rent commission would make a sur- vey of all the apartment houses so that inequalities in rents might bc adjusted. Blames Growisg Restrictions. Leo Simmons, apartment house owner, strongly opposed a continu- ance of the Ball rent act. He said that he had never had any trouble with his tenants. The growing re- strictions during the last ten yea upon buildings, Mr. Simmons said, were largely responsible for the situ- He said there were too = restrictions, and that under ex- isting regulations buildings could not be crected without rentals going up. He complained of building regula- tions 1n the District, saying that they prevented the remodeling of many old houses that could be repaired for rental purposes. Other witnesses today were Mrs. H. H. Lee, who had purchased a house at 1006 East Capitol street sixteen months ago for her own use and had never been able to get possession of it; Charles N. Joyce, a lawyer and owner of apartments, who opposed Mrs. James E. Wood, who complained that a tenant who had leased her house had gone to the rent commis- sion and gotten the rent reduced. Sees No Need for Extension. Representing H. L. Rust, real estate broker, John F. M. Bowie, In charge of the rental department, told the committee that he was convinced no emergency exists warranting an ex- tension of the rent act. He also said he did not think there would be any general increase in rents if the act is allowed to expire in October. Dis- cussing the subletting of apartments at extortionate rates, Mr. Bowie said: ‘The time has come when you can- not sublet furnished apartments at the people will not rent them.

By the Associated Press. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., June 2.— The English-speaking peopies of the world should be “banded together in leadership of all the nations, to the era of world peace and. as a first step, to the era in which the wars which even now we ocan recognize as futile and unnecessary, are done with for- ever.” Sir Auckiand Geddes. the Brit- ish ambassacor, said in an address here today at centennial exercises of the University of Virginia: Peace Held Necessity. “The continuance indefinitely imto the future of peace between our peo- ples is so ous a mecessity of our national lives,” Sir Auckland said, “that 1 do not dream of the contin- gency of its rupture. What I am concerned with is something that scems to me far greater and far noble Deprecating war as a sapper of the physical vigor of the nations and de- nying that “péace will rot the vitals of a nation,” the ambassador express- ed the belief “that now is the time for the English-speaking peopies with their great and peculiar advantages to resolve that mever again will they permit this fair world to_be devi tated by unnecessary war if by stand- ing firmly together they can prevent Ignorance Only Hindramce. “What is to hinder their co-opera- tion to this great end?" he asked. “Nothing that I know of but ignorance of each other's ideals and aspirations and the suspicion that is the child of ignorance. “Once again the world has passed through the furnace of war,” the am- ‘bassador continued, “once again the horror of the battlefield, made more horrible by science, has bitten deep into the minds of the nation. Once again for a time they yearn for pesoce. but. as ever, the human mind is for- getful of horror. Already the mem- ories of the beastliness of war dim and the recollections of the fel- lowship. the courage, the glories of the human epirit rising triumphant above the terrors of the body. grow bright and brighter. Our minds are ftraying back to the old circular path that leads men to speak of the horror or war and then of its glory, and just before they again know its horror, of its desirability. “1 abate no jot or tittle of what I have said the past. but. abating nothing, I think it is no derogation to speak of the gross folly of war and to beg of this great university that it will see that its soms and daughters, ere they wo forth to their appointed places in the higher or the subordinate leadership of their na- on, know clearly what is the cost of war.
