PLAN BIG DRIVE AGAINST IRISH

British Ready for Great RoundUp of Sinn Feiners in the House of Commons. CHANGE Of POLICY IS SEEN Expectation <M Attack in London la Said to Explain Erection of Strong • Barrier* to Protect Prime Minister and Offices. London, Noy. 28.—Barriers eight feet high, which will exclude the public from Downing street and adjacent Charles street are being erected with instructions that the work shall be continued until it is completed. Both streets lead from Whitehall to a group of government departmental offices, including the foreign office and the India office, and also the official residence of Premier Lloyd (Jeorge and Andrew Bonar Law, the government leaders In the house of commons.

The barriers are to be of a substantial character, foundations having been dug to receive them. Gates wide enough to admit an automobile are to be provided in the barriers. At the same time, the light barriers raised at the other ends of the two streets to check the pressure of the crowds on the occasion of the unveiling of the cenotaph for the men killed in war are being strengthened. Believe Attack Is Expected. Nothing has been announced publicly regarding the unusual precautions, which are assumed in some quarters to indicate that the government has reason to expect an attack on the centers of government from quarters which at present cannot be surmised. The labor delegates appointed by the parliamentary Labor party to go to Ireland and investigate the British government’s policy and methods there start for Ireland next Tuesday. Against Seizure of Griffith. Arthur Griffith’s arrest in Dublin, it is stated, came as a great surprise to Premier Lloyd George and the Irish office. It is even declared that it brought forth some adverse criticisms from the premier and from those in the inner circles of 10 Downing street, the premier’s official residence. ===, No orders for the arrest of Griffith had been Issued here, it is said. Higher officials have considered him one of the strongest moderating influences In the Sinn Fein organization and no evidence to the contrary, the report says, has been forwarded to them from D iblln.

Neagh Attack Reported. A report from Neagh, Tipperary, Ireland, says Denis Carey was taken by uniformed men from his lodgings. Into the streets, and several bullets were tired into Ills body. Carey is reported to be in a hospital in dying condition.

New York, Nov. 29.—John T.

Sands, obtained from the Downey Shipbuilding corporation of New York for a “favorable contract.” were not “thoroughly investigated” by the board.

SOME SMILES

Neighborly Zeal. “I understand Mr. Gadspnr has a new stenographer who is a l»eauty." “Yes. a dazzlihg creature, if there ever was one.” FDo you suppose Mrs. Gadspur knows about It?” “I should say so! Mrs. Glipping, who lives next door, heard the news from Mr. Glipping and got out of a sick bed to tell Mrs. Gadspur.” Anything But That. Motorly—The only trouble with my new car is that It travels smoother with the rear seats loaded and there’s only myself and my wife to use it. Footer —I suppose, then, you treat your friends to rides. Motorly—Cwt a inly not. I carry sandbag ballast. Successful Way. • “Did that cultured book agent sell you a set of Hugo’s works?” “No. 1 talked him out of it” “How did you do tkat?” “I noticed that every time I mispronounced ‘Les Miserables’ he writhed in his chair, so I kept It up until the poor devil fled." Ornamental but Useless. “There is always a rainbow after the storm,” remarked the purveyor of perfunctory cheer. “Not always,” rejoined Farmer Corntossel. “And besides I never knew’ a rainbow to repair in the slightest degree the damage that a storm leaves behind it.” All He Remembered. “Tell me Of your tour to the homes of famous English poets. The home of Shelley ?’’ “They stung us forty cents a gallon for gasoline.” “And the home of Byron?” “There we had a bad puncture.” Refined Schedule. “I want my daughter to have a real genteel education.” “Of course, we uiylerstand that, madam.” “Then what’s the meaning of her studying about common nouns and vulgar fractions?”

SENSIBLE GIRL Maude—l haven't heard you practicing on the piano since you got engaged. Marie—No, I’m practicing on the gas range now. The Way Now. Mary has a little vote. And all the manly souls That Mary knows are urging her To take it to the polls. A Bad Break. “Were you at the christening?” “Yes, and the father made a terrible t>reak." “That so?” “Yep, tried to tip the minister a dollar.” * _____________ Renewed Curiosity. “That old fellow must have been treated with goat glands.” “What makes you think so?” “The way he is always butting into other people’s affairs.” The Reason. “Do you like silk shirts?” “No.” “Then why do you wear them?” “Just to show folks I can afford ’em.” Great Place. “What is Utopia?” “That’s the place where the government pays every man a salary for minding his own business.” A Difficulty. “Be optimistic. There is really no black obstacle to progress.” . “Have you ever been in a trolley car held up by a coal cart?” Nature. “The doctor detected the incipient fever at once in Henry’s system.” “Then it must have been the spotted fever.”

This is one of the days you could love your enemies. One could almost forgive those who say that the negroes and pro-Germans carried the election for the Republicans. Hugh Kirk went to Morocco today and by nightfall may return with some news that will be of interest to football fans, news that may tell of the placing of the leading football delicacy of the season on the platter of local fandom. — v — — It is reported that a certain coal dealer in this city refused to deliver coal to a certain residence on account of a, Harding and Coolidge picture being displayed in the window. That accounts for the fact that the election was not unanimous. There are a few like that yet. COME AND SEE ME. I have Baldwin pianos and other makes, phonographs, several makes, including the Ampliphone. All makes of records. __ ■ CHARLES B. STEWARD, South Side West Washington St
