NEW YORK, July 22.—The military and political situations in JIreland from the republican viewpoint are of- ficlally set forth in a message from republican headquarters in Cork, dis- patehed under date of July 20 to the editor of the Irish World here. The dispatch reads, in part: “The republicans hold undisputed possession of south Ireland and the greater part of the west and north- west, while their mobile columns or guerrilla forces operate with success over most of the remainder of the country. There is not a single Free State post in the solid block of ter- tory formed by the counties of Cork. Kerry, Waterford and West Limerick. In Cork city, the capital of the r publican government, public yevenue services are under republican control. Nearly the whole of east Limerick, south Tipperary, northwest Clare and nearly the whole of Mayo, Sligo and Galway are in secure possession of the republican army. In Limerick city the republicans are steadily gaining ground in a hot fight for possession. Nerth Tipperary and most of the mid: lands are nominally but not eftective- 1y controlled by the Free Staters. “Our mobile columns are blook: ading towns like Nenagh and Thurles and operating effectively every- where. Same applies to the north- cast. In the east the mobile re- publican forces are operating in Kil- kenny, while In Wexford when the principal towns faced by heavy Brit- ish artillery wera evacuated last week the Free State communications were cut and harassed. The Free State holds Dublin and a small area around it. “The political position is that Cel- lina and Griffith, having by British orders, with British armaments, de- clared war on the Irish republic on June 28, in the hope of crushing all resistance, are faced with universal national uprising in defense of the rapublic, with a solid unconquerable core of resistance in the south and west and fixed or guerrilla resistance alsewhere. Constitutionally their position is that of illegal military junta making war without the con- ®ent of the people, ignoring and flout- ing as British king’s ministers under publican courts and institutions, act- ing as British King’s ministers under authority given by the British Free State act and setting up a provision government responsible to the lord lleutenant. “Dublin Castle still functions and co- operates, supplying guns, rifies and armored cars. Collins and Grifith are driven, therefore, to use all the old British methods of repression— drastic censorship of the press, lying, libeldus officlal propaganda, sup- pression of all the republican news- papers and literature, midnight raids on private houses without warrant, imprisonment without charge, brutal treatment of prisoners of war, who are given status of criminals. Th whole nation is beginning to be shocked by the lengths to which this policy is being carried. On July 15 three unarmed prisoners of war at Mountjoy were shot by Free State soldiers for looking out of the win- dows, the result being & violent popu- Jar demonstration of sympathy with the prisoners. “A midnight rald on the historic 8 Enda’s home of the aged Mra, Pearse, mother of Padraic H. .Pearse, also moved the people to strong indigna- tion. Similar raids on the home of Mrs. de Valeraat Greystones and hun. dreds of others on prominent republi- cans of Dublin and provinces were aiso made with arrests and Imprison- ment of political opponents without charge or warrant.

SHIP PLANE TO OUTDO OTHERS IN COMBAT AND PURSUIT| The naval bureau of aeronautics is now developing a ship plane for combat and pursuit {n conjunction with fleet operations which from tests now being conducted gives promise of equaling any land plane in general use by the Army or Navy for combat purposes in ad- dition to its being adapted to ship use, the Navy Department an- nounced yesterday. The plane was designed by the Navy, built at the naval aircraft factory at Philadelphia and is un- | dergoing further tests at the Ana- | costle air station.

DEMOCRATS T0 ACT {Scurrying for Senate Candi- date to Be Named Next Week. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, July 22.—The demo- cratic leaders of the state will next week select the candidate that they will back in the primarfes for the United States senatorial nomination. This is the word that is being passed down the line following the call of Dr..J. Hubert Wade, chairman of the democratic_state central committee, for a meeting here Monday to declde on the date for the whole of the primaries and the state convention. While Dr. Wade would not admit that the question of selecting a can- didate would Le brought up. as the ! primaries date had been decided. a number of leaders are of the opin- ion that the matter will not only be brought up, but that the committee will take some action looking toward the selection of a candidate upon which the party as a whole can unite. If they do not get together behind some candidate of their own selec- tion they will decide on their atti- tude as to David J. Lewis, former i representative, and Willlam I Norris, state senator, both active candidates. The chances are, however, that they will put a candidate in the field. This information, coming from reliable sources, indicates that the democrats ha een the sins of procrastination and are at last beginning to realize jthat they will have to put a candi date in the fleld to end what they scribe as an “unfortunate political situation. Ritchie Mentioned Agah The call for Gov. Ritchie as the candidate is being heard again, and viously, although the governor has stated on a number of occasions that under no circumstances would he be a candidate for the Senate. The {name of former Representative Charles P. Coady is also being mentioned very {prominently. It will be recalled that Mr. Coady was one of the first to be mentioned in conneéction with the senatorial nomination and was thoyght of even before Gov. Ritchie had issued his pronoungement declaring for four years more at Annapolis if they were obtalinable rather than for six yéars at Washington. The boom for Mr. Coady. seems. to.have been started with the John Walter Smith people, whose solicitude for the con- tinuancy of Gov. Ritchie In political life is well known. Mr. Coady is an old stager, however, and when he enters he wisl the omens to be auspicious Frank A. Furst, one of the ac- knowledged city leaders, thinks Ritchie has made an excellent gov- ernor and sympathizes with his de- sire to round out his work at An- napolis, but Mr. Furst also thinks that the senatorial “pot” has boiled long enough and that it is time for something to have materialized. Seek “Dry” Backing. With William I Norrls, an acknowl!- edged “wet.” and the other demo- cratic eandidate, David J. Lewis. hav- ing come out for a modification of ithe Volstead act.'thie dry wing of the | democracy is now casting its eye for a candidate to run with the back- ing of the Anti-Baloon League. The league is consldered to have made a shrewd political move in sponsoring the candidacy of Frank H. Zonck, former chairman of the state’s roads commiasion, for the democratic nomi. nation in the second congressional district, where a contest impends be- tween two avowed ‘wets,” former Representative Carl D. Benson and Miller Tydings, former speaker of the legislative assembly. On the republican side the week has been featured by the public de- mand made upon Senator Joseph Irvin France by Harry Haller of Frederick, chalrman of the republican central committee of the state, to withdraw from the race in favor of John W. Garrett. Mr. Haller would not discuss the issues of the race and told the senator that he had conversed with party workers in all parts of the state and that almost without exception they had agreed that if the senator is renominated he will be defeated in November. Senator France, however, refuses to be moved from his determination to run in the primaries and issued a statement in answer to the request of Mr. Haller.

HOOPER, U. 8. N. Head of the Radie Division in the Navy Department. The government unquestionably de- serves the principal credit for set- ting the pace which resulted in pres- ent-day developments in radio in the United States. The maritime department of our Rovernment naturally was deeply ap- preciative of the fact that it consti- tuted the one and only medium ever made known to man by which he could communicate from the shore with ships far out at sea. For the first time in the history of the world it enabled ships In distress at sea to call for help from the land or to sum- mon to their aid other ships far dis- tant at sea. Thus it alleviated the terrors at- tending disasters at sea, whether from fire, storm, collision or treacher- ous rocks. Godsend to Sallor. It was, in short, a godsend to the seafaring man as well as to the lands- man and the women and children for whom circumstances decreed travel by sea. From the humanitarian point of view therefore it was a godsend to the whole human race—but it also possessed enormous potentialities as a weapon of oftense and defense, not only at sea but also on land—and as such it placed a heavy responsibility on the Navy particularly, responsi- bility which could not be side-stepped or_ignored. Moreover it has been regarded since its inception as an important factor in world trade, and, since the inaugura- tion of the radiophone broadcasting service, who will gainsay its power as an_agency for spreading propa- ganda? Happily, we now have no occasion to fear hostile propaganda and, more- over, all American radio channels are now ‘controlled and operated by Amer- icans. conditi brought about by the Navy radio a result of our par- ticipation in the world war. For twenty years the Navy has been Pennsylvania Avenue earnestly planning end diligently la- boring with radio. U. 8. Big Customer. Until less than a year ago the Army and Navy had been the big customers in the radio market for radlo appara- tus of all kinds in quantity lots. ‘Within a few short months their re- quirements, especially for radio re- celving equipment, have been com- pletely dwarfed by the demands of the general public for receivers to pick up the radiophone concerts. Radio eugipment had to be obtained from the first for the numerous radio stations on shore, as they were grad- ually established to serve our widel separated Atlantic, Pacific an Asiatic fleets. The ships themselves, from tugs to battleships, also had to be equipped. With the gradual development of the radio art and the consequent pro- duction of improved apparatus and methods—elther in the United Ftates or elsewhere—these ship and shore installations had to be replaced or the equipment modified in order to keep the Navy modern in radio. so that it would not become inferior and placed at a disadvantage to other navies in this respect. Need for Big Station Gradually the need for great high- power stations on shore became ap- parent not only in the United States, but also in our distant possessions, Buch as the West Indies and the Philippines, to enable the rapid ex- change of communications betwe the commanders-in-chief and the Navy Department. Thus, efficlent and reliable radio manufacturing facllities were essen- tial to meet the government's needs on the one hand, and a market for radio equipment in quantities was opened up, on the other hand. The problem presented was, first to insure the establishment of the re- quired manufacturing facilities on a sound basis; second, to insure com- petition, and, third, to advance the radio art in the United States for the benefit of the national defense and in the national interests. The Navy radlo encouraged th: large electrical manufacturing indus- trial concerns to inaugurate radio branches in their organizations and ialso encouraged the establishment of new strictly concerns. It also undertook the design and manufacture of limited amounts of its own apparatus, not that this ac- tion tended greatly toward economy in governmental expenaitures, but to spur on the coinmercia] manufactur- ing to greater efforts in the design and production of improved equip- ment. Apparatus Is Improved. Improved apparatus was frequently designed in the government's radio laboratories, models made up, speci- fications furnished and commercial firms invited to bid on quantity pro- ductlon. Commercial manufacturers produced new apparatus and submitted sample equipment to the Navy for test, which, if the improvement over then exist- ing eimilar apparatus was sufficient to warrant it, resulted in the award- ing of a contract for a limited supply for installation in radio stations and actual Service tests under normal | operating conditions, with the possi- bility of general application to the service later on. Any reputable concern producing apparatus, which, under test, proved to be equally as efficient as existing apparatus, was immediately recog- nized as a responsible radlo manu- facturing concern and thereafter was always invited to bid on subsequent orders for similar apparatus. Concerns which fafled in this respect were not recognized as responsible radio manufacturers. Radio Engineers Engaged. Gradually the varfous manufactur- ing concerns adopted the policy of engaging radlo engineers and other technical personnel to undertake ra- Glo research design and experimental work, and it became the ambition of | these concerns to supply equipment 'for the government. not only for the ! {profit derived from the sale of large | quantities of apparatus, but also as| a mark of superfority of their prod-| uet Similar conditions existed in other countries, especfally Germany, Eng- land and France, where developments in radio telegraphy were proceeding jrapidly, but the application of im- proved apparatus to actual service was less rapid than in the United States. Thus, a keen international rivalry in radio development came into being as an adjunct to the rivalry in arma- ments and the associated rivalry for world trade. Leaving aside the question of world trade, the responsibility devolved on radio manufacturing | vention countries, namely, the improvements, direct or otherwise, brought about by the unrestricted activities of a large army of American radi> amateurs, mostly boys, who built their own equipment, established their stations in their homes, and talked to one an- other In the international Morse code or listened in on the ships working With one another or with the shore. In foreign countries the radio ama- teur was restricted to such an extent as to be practically unknown, while in America they were not restricted and were numbered by the thousands. Today the popular radiophone broadcasting service is practically unknown in most foreign countries, while in America the radio fan has supplanted the radio amateur and w are beginning to number the former in_the millions. ‘What the future has in store for radio no man can say, but that an ever-growing and important new in- dustry has been created in the United ftates which now gives daily em- ployment to thousands of our people, is an established fact, and this one feature aione obviously has aiready compensated the nation for all the government expenditures ever made for radio.

July 22.—The Wis- consin State Federation of Labor completed its thirtieth annual con- here with instructions to delegates to use thefr influence dur- ing the present primary campaign to elect state officers and legislators fa- vorable to the cause of industrial workers. In order that union men might de- termine the stand of candidates on questions affecting thelr interests, the executive board of the federation is directed to quis the officeseekers be- the Army and Navy radio establish- ments to keep abreast of these devel- opments in radio. Events have proved that it not only kept sbreast of these developments, but, principally through the patri- jotic co-operation of American radio | manufacturers, eventually placed the | United States far in the lead in radio throughout the world. Government Holds Advantage. Our government radio had one ad- { vantage in its efforts to develop the radio art not enjoyed by foreign fore the election. Direction was aiso given the board to participate in a national conference for the creation of a new farmer-labor political move- ment. The convention went on record as opposed to the sales tax, which it de- scribed as “a crime and injustice against the common people,” and fa. vored the soldiers’ bonus to be pro- vided from a tax on higher incomes and inheritance.
