By the Associated Press. BELFAST, March 18.—The advice of Field Marshil Sir Henry Hughes Wil- son, a former chief of the imperial general staff and now member of par- liament from North Down, on the restoration of order in Ulster was given to Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, today, in the form of a letter which is regarded in political quar- ters as a short “die-hard” manifest The letter, dated “St. Patrick’s Day. opens with a denunclation of the Prime Minister Lloyd it declares, has re- duced the twenty-six counties of south and west Ireland to “a welter of chaos and murder difficult to be- lieve and impossible to describe,” and “to a State of unrest, suspicion and lawlessness” which has spread over the frontier into the six counties of Ulster. Bitter Against Lloyd George. Fleld Marshal Wilson’s communica- tion describes it as “laughably im- vossible to believe that the Lloyd George government can re-establish law and order in Ireland, because men who_arb only capable of losing an empire are obviously incapable ot holding an empire and still more, in- capuble of regaining it. The letter then outlines the writer's plans, the figst object of which is to win the British people to the side of Ulster. “There never was a more fair-minded and generous people,” it says, “than the English and the Scotch and the Welsh. * * * Tell them the real truth of what is not going on in the south and west and what is really passing in Ulster. Get those splendid Britons on your side, for with Britaln with you there is nothing which cannot be done, as witness the last great war. Four Vital Suggestions. Among the suggestions made in the letter are: 1. Considerable alterations in the commands and administration of all the armed forces, including the spe- cials. 2. Reclass and readjustment cate- gories of the police and greatly strengthen some of them. 3. Redraft the laws for carrying arms. 4. Take increased powers for rapid and drastic action agalnst illegal im- portation and carrying of arms, bombs, etc. Announcing that he was submitting Pseparately detailed proposals of these four points, the fleld marshal con- cludes: “With Britain in active sympathy and with the great addition in strength which I hope my proposals will give you, I think in the very near future you will see a wonderful recovery in the situation, which at the moment must cause you grave anxfety Soldiers Capture Barracks. The conditions of the recent rivalry. over the possession of the barracks at Limerick were reversed at Castleblay- ney, County Monaghan, on St. Patrick’ day, republicans forces, adnerents of Eamonn De Valera, were in possession of the local barracks, but the holiday spirit being abroad, they left a force of only four men to hold the barracka while ‘the remainder were out oele- brating the national festival. Noting these conditions, free state forces from the border seized the bar- racks, locking the men of the small garrison within cells. When the republicans became awage of the loss of the barracks they com- mandeered the Hope Arms Hotel, named after the same family as the famous Hope diamond. They are well armed, it Is said, although without their other equiqtment, and expect reinforcements. Rivals Patrol Streets. A telephone call from Be'fast to the Hope Arms Hotel elicited tae informa- tion that the rival forces were patrol- ling the streets without clashes, main- taining a friendly attitude toward each! other. The republicans in the hotel complained that the equipment of their party was in the barracks without much prospect of taeir obtaining it. There was small probability of bloodshed, it was added, but a question of prin- ciple was involved which was causing the republicans to stand their ground in the town. The four men who were confined in cells in the barracks were released after a short time. Two of them went to the hotel end the others left town after having been warned taat they remained at the peril of their lives. An Antrim road tramcar was bombed this afternoon and resulted in one fa- tality and the wounding of several passengers. BOMBS USED ON FRONYIER. Bridge Blown Up and Wire Com- munication Cut Off.

A message from Clones said three of the principal bridges within a radius of thirty miles of Clones, on the northern frontier, had been blown up, cutting communications between count Fermanagh and Cavan. A stretch of road slong the northern frontier between Clones and Cavan 80 has been blown up. ‘The publicity department of the dail eireann today issued a long list of outrages alleged to have been com- mitted by the special constabulary in County Fermanagh since March 6.

BOSTON, March 18.—A petition for the incorporation of an organization to be known as “The Common Peopl Inc.,” whose purpose is to the adjunct to public progres: political parties stifle or lack at pres+ ent.” has been flled With the secre- tary of state. < The founder is Alexander Paul Con- nor of Springfield. - The aims, as set forth, include the following: . “The corporation is constituted for the purpose of evolving better politt cal and civic betterment for that class of people known as the ‘common ®#ople, and for providing for 1ts members, Investigation, reports and advies on htlll‘ti" matters, candi dates for office, expenditure and us of publie or quasi public funds." “And organisstion of practical ted ways ind or | M‘S the common ;flonnl:“l:'d.' nl:-”' ir- real in~ terest and jread by thirds vote is belleved assured. ‘When this treaty, about which op- position to the Washington confer- ence treatles centered, has been disposed of, it is expected the other treaties, including tho dealing with China and with naval limitation and submarine and poi- son gas warfare, will be ratified without much further delay. De- bate on the four-power treaty, beglnning Tuesday, will be Jimited to comparatively short speeches by each senator desiring to take the floor by the unanimous consent agreement fixing a time for a vote. ‘The Senate, i{f opportunity is of- fered, will consider also this week the post office appropriation bill, upon which a beginning was made yesterday afternoon, and also the so-called judges’ bill, providing - for nineteen additional federal district judges. The debate on the latter measure was begun more than a w g0, but discussion of the four-power treaty has oc- cupied the attentlon of the Senate practically to the exclusion of other business for many da: and the judges’ bill, which is t! un- finished business of the Senate in legislative session, has been laid aside temporarily. A hearing on the new, street railway merger bill will be held tomerrow afternoon at 2 o'clock hefore the Senate District com- mittee. The committee has already ordered a favorable report on this measure, which provides for a high tax on operating income of the street rallway companies so as to bring the dividend-paying capaci- ties of the Capital Traction and Washington Railway and Electric companies close together, in the hope of forcing a merger. ' But the Capital Traction Company has asked for a hearing. The District committee has also announced that March 27 it will give a hearing on the Phipps’ bill to direct the District Commission- ors to erect a new school for tu- bercular pupils on the Upshur streed tract. Although the soldiers’ bonus bill is not yet before the Senate, lead- ing r:;ubllcan senators have ex- pressed great opposition to the bill as prepared and reported by the House ways and means committee. They insist that i{f a bonus bill is passed by the Senate it will pro- vide the necessary taxation plan to pay the bonus, which is omitted in the House bill. The outlook is for a deadlock between the two houses on this measure. The permanent tariff bill is ex- pected to be reported to the Sen- ate from the finance committee within the next ten days or two weeka. The committee has ordered an end to hearings on the various !c:&dug!. e Senate last week passed a bill providing for a board of ac: countancy in the District of Co- lumbfa. “This board will be au- thorized to license certified ac- countants.

Prepared addresses supporting the four-power pact were made by Senators Jones, republican, Washing- ton, and Capper, republican, Kansas.

Ratification of the treaty was urged by Senator Jonés, republican, Wash- ington. who said it was an effort to insure peace in the Pacific by good understanding and contained none of the dangers attributed to it by its op- ponents.
