PULLAR & NIVEN NATIONAL ARMY MAY GO TO FRANCE SOON Chicf of Staff Refers to FExcellent Oondition of Men Trained in Cantonments. ~ Washington, March 13.—Every avallable enerzy is being utilized by the war department to speed the movement of troops to France. A report is current in Washington that the French miiltary authorities hed made a new and earnest appeal 7 to this country to employ more haste in the movement of troops abroad. Maj. Gen. Peyton C, March, acting chief of staff, was asked for con- firmation of the report, but he re- frained fro msaying whether theo French government had or had not . made Such an appeal. He indicated, however, that the war department had dopted the policy of moving troops to France as rapidly as pos- sible, regardless of whether such an appeal had or had not been received. “Our present policy,” sald General March, “is to speed to the absolute limit 2f our ability the movement of units to France, and that policy will be carried forward steadily. General March was asked concern- ing reports that some of the national army divisions soon would be sent to France. He said that he had re- ceived reports from inspectors stating that rapid progress was being made in whipping the National Army into shape, that a fine body of soldiers was being developed, and that some of these units were reported as having simost reached the limit of thelr training here. General March sald that he soon would make an inspec- tion trip to some of the National Army ecantonments to pass judgment on the present status of the condi- tlon and training of the men. e ex- plained that in any event all of the ¥¥ational Guard and National Army units in this country, however well they might ba trained in camps and cantonments on this side of the At- lantic, would have to complete their training on tha battleground in France, camps behind he western | QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION Get Dr. Edwards’ ( Olive Tablets That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwar(ig;gmduoed Olive Tablets, lhe substitute for calomel.

The decision was reached after lengthy discussion by the commis- sioners. In reply to a question of Commissioner Conlon as to how much time it would take the clerk to ar- range for tha payment of weekly salaries, tho chairman answered “about two hours,” and Commissioner Moran said that this did not make 'd difference. Commissioner Moran id that if the men desired their pay very week they should receive it. Chairman Magnell and Commissioner Conlon opposed the payments in cash and Commissioner Camp amended to make payments by check every week. Plans for tha proposed alterations at the police and central fire statlons were shown at the meeting and Chair- man Magnell and Commissioner F. J. Moran were appeinted to work with the police commission committee con- sisting of Chairman P. F. King and Commissioner Stephen Robb in regard to the alterations, Letters were received from four aeria] truck concerns, and Commis- sioner Moran suggested that repre- sentatives of these concerns appear before the board to describe their apparatus. Replies are expected from various cities which have been com- municated with in resard to the trucks in service. Chairman Magnell suggested that the board visit Hart- the regular ning, the ford, New Haven, Springfield, Mass., Waterbury and Bridgeport, during the next two weeks No definite date was set for the proposed excursion. Edward H. Parker, a member of the call men's department, showed a hook made from a drawing by Cap- tein E. F. Barnes, following his in- structive trip with the New York de- partment last fall. Mr, Parker ex- plained the tool in detail and termed it very handy. Chief Dame said that each house should be equipped with one. The board voted to have six hooks made at the Stanley Works. Commissioner Camp asked about re- imbursement for Mr. Parker for his time and efforts in making the tool, and the chairman said that Mr. Par- ker would be satisfied with a fire hel- met. Captain Eugene F. Barnes was ap- pointed chief building inspector on motion of Commissioner Meran. Tn answer to a question by Commission- er Camp whether Captain Barnes had shown aptitude in his work, Chair- man Magnell replied that the ap- pointee is very efficient in everything he does. The new berth for Captain Barnes does not bring any added compensation. Copies of the rules governing in- spection were exawdned by the hoard, and a copy will be posted in each house. The rules specify a conflagration district, which is as follows. Main street, both sid from Franklin Square and Elm street to the corner of Broad and Beaver streets; Church street from Main to rallroad cross- ing; West Main street to High street; Railroad Arcade; Commercial street to Center street; East Main to Eim street; Lafayette street to Beaver; Arch street from Main to the State Armory; all buildings in this district and mercantile buildings lumber and ceal yards, factories and bulldings containing eight or more tenements, in any part of the city shall be in- spected at least once every three months.

Buildings used for {enements only containing three and not over seven apartments shall be inspected once every Six months. Other buildings within the fire limits and not specifically mentioned shall be inspected according to the dis- cretion of the inspecting captain. The inspection captain consulting with the chief engineer may call on members of the fire department for pesistance and co-operation.

DILLON IS ELECTED NATIONALIST HEAD Succeeds Johu Redmond on Nom- ination by Joseph Devlin London, March 13.—John Dillon, member of Parliament for East Mayo was unanimously elected chairman of the Nationalist party, succeeding tho late John Redmond. The motion to elect Mr. Dillon was made by Joseph Devlin. John Dillon, whose friends some- times said that he dictated the poli- cies of John Redmond, first entered Parliament in 1880, from Tippera: at the age of 29 years. He was physician by training but abandoned the medical profession for a political career in which he was closely asso- ciated with Mr. Redmond during the closing years of the latter's life. Retiring from Parliament in 1883, he spent two years in California, re- turning in 1885 to be defeated as member for North Tryone, but being elected in the same vear from East Mayo which he has since represented. Possessed of height and long limbs to a degree to make him a conspicuous figure, and presenting an air which his associates have described as one of melancholy, Mr. Dillon has often stood forth as a spectacular orator in his activities in the House of Com- mons. Barly during the second vear of the war he bitterly opposed the British government's plan to raise an addi- tional 1,000,000 troops. He attacked conscription but finally agreed to con- form to the wishes of John Redmond in not further opposing the Military Service Bill. Isarly in 1016 he de- nounced the government's methods of dealing with the Irish revolt and condemned the executions. He mado several motions in the House of Com- mons urging the government to dis- close its plans for the administration of Ireland, declaring Ireland would welcome elections on the Home Rule question. On several has publicly criticized war policies, notably in connection with Rumania, Greece and the cen- gorship. In an address in Dublin last December he condemned the Sinn Feiners, declaring they had alienated sympathy in the United States for the Irish cause. During the session ot parliament last vear he was de- scribed as one of the most volumin- ous talkers. Deviin Home Rule Fighter.

Virtu all of his life has been spent in the forefront in the fight for Irish home rule and his confidence that it must uitimately come to his people has never wavered. Born in 1872, Joseph Devlin at the age of 12 years began to attract notice as a debater. At thirty, after e had cast aside opportunities to be sent to parliament, he visited the United States on a political mission. His constituents in North Kilkenny tcok advantage of his absence to elect him to parliament in 1902. Four years later he was chosen from Bel- fast and without interruption has since held this seat. The spread of the TUnited Irish league beyond the limits of Con- naught and Belfast is attributed to Mr. Devlin's influence. He came to the United States to aid ing it here and has served as secre- tary both to the United Irish leaguo of Great Britain and the United Irish league of Ireland. When a fund was raised in the United States in 1910 to help finance the Trish nationalist's activities in the British general elections, it was Devlin who came here in Mr. Red- mond’s behalf and assisted in ob- taining Irish-American subscriptions. During this visit he was feted by Irish organizations in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston nd upon his return was accorded a great dem- onstration at Dublin In speeches in the louse of com- mons he has vigorously attacked var- jous home rule stions advanced 1y the which did not was born, educated and matured in fulfill his demands. - SERGE BEITING 15¢ a yard.
