IRISH FREEDOM MAY BkjlaK UP BKi'ilisH BMPJIKE John Bull Besieged on All Sides by Demands for Liberty. LONDON, March 2. —The eyes of Great Britain are on Ireland. Ireland's sueceas or failure as a free state may be a determining fatcor in the disintegration British rule. George and British statesmen are beset on all sides with demands for greater freedom. The creation of th% Irish Free State has given impetus to demands, which If granted would threaten the strength of British rule in almost every quarter of the globe. India, Britain’s most wealthy Far East possession, is in the throes of a precipitant revolution with freedom as the objective, and the Indian problem is undoubtedly the knottiest problem Lloyd George has on his hands, with the exception of the final settlement of the Irish question and his domestic political difficulties. Egypt, a protectorate of Great Britain, Is demanding wider liberties, and the Egyptian question is one which is most vexatious, and it is whispered in political circles that this problem has threatened cabinet rifts. Scotlard has at times been mentioned as the source of a possible demand for greater independence, although there is at the present time no Indication that rhe Scottish people will arouse themselves to any serious demands; nevertneless. It is rumored that some of those who inhabit the northern half of the main British Isle are growing restive. In the Rand striking miners have voiced their de.lre for the creation of a free state, v The people of the little Isle of Sark have gone ahead and established a gov ernment of their own without consulting either Lloyd George or King George. The A|pulation of this tiny lslt is not exi, but the spirit displayed there must be annoying to those statesmen who are striving to maintain British rule. In South Africa the movement for Independence is reported to be growing. With his difficulties constantly mounting. Lloyd George faces this new spirit with apparent calmness, for it is but a part and fabric of the political situation which will undoubtedly force him before the psople In a general election. White the spirit of Independence grows throughout Great Britain it is rumored political enemies of the Prime Minister are perhaps encouraging the movement as one method of increasing tha burdens of tha leader they are seeking to unseat. Stanch supporters of British rule argue that many of those who are now demanding a greater Toice in their government are given the widest liberties their capabilities will permit. In discussion of the subject with American cltisens they always point to the Philippines as a fine example of a, suppressed people.

PUSH BOSTON AS IMPORTANT SHIPPING PORT Campaign Opened to Bring Back Prestige of Former Days. BOSTON, March 2.—A campaign to make Boston the most important port in the United States has been begun by Mayor .Tames M. Curley, who recently took office for the second time as the city’s chief executive. Mayor Curley has appealed directly to the business men of New England for j Support In this project, but he also points j out Boston's advantages to shippers and j travelers In other parts of the country, i In the following signed statement the j mayor gives some of the reasons why he ] believes Boston should bocome America's leading seaport: “The rehabilitation of the Port of Boston and the restoration of its former dominance in the trade and commerce of the United States are of first importance to the industrial and economic welfare of Massachusetts and New England; they i constitute a serious duty for the mayor of Boston and a labor to which every eco- I nomic factor of the New England com - I munlty should lend Its heartiest assistance. This is not only good business, but the highest form of practical patriotism and useful Americanism. “NEAREST TO EUROPE.” “BoWon is twenty-four hours nearer to ] America’s greatest market, Europe, than any other American seaport, a supreme- j ly important factor In competitive trans- i Atlantic transportation of passengers and ! cargoes, since It connotes the saving of j time and money for passengers, shippers j and steamship service and eliminates ! one day's sea hazards to vessels and car- ■ goes on every trip and, by that lessen- j ■g of risk, a proportionate redaction of j arlne insurance. “To secure this Important saving of time and expense in transportation American railroads have spent hundreds of millions of dollars in reducing grades and improving rolling stock and facil- j Ities to enable them to give rapid serv- ; ice. The Atlantic Ocean has no trackage or grades to concern those who use It;, the prime Atlantic problem in this age j Is—time. “TIME IS IMPORTANT.” “Time is the most important factor in j the victories of war and peace. The abll- j lty to deliver men and goods at a given > poir* or in a given market in the quick- j est v.Jie spells success ;and Boston's un- i equalled geographical and tactically com- ! mercial position aud her unquestioned ability to serve America and Europe are too important to be longer ignored by the industrial, agrarian and economic forces of America in a competitive world. “Boston harbor, deep, commodious, ca- i pable of unlimited development, free! trom fog and Ice, the natural outlet for the harvests and products of half a continent. the 'mmedtate door of outlet for industrial America and t* close contiguity to the great fishery grounds of the North Atlantic and its limitless fish food supplies make it the logical and Ideal port of the Atlantic coast for the service of American trade and commerce.” 12,000 Meals Given Needy Service Men More than 12,000 meals have been served Md disabled or destitute former service by the Soldier’s Relief Station, 18 East Michigan street, according to figures given out today. In addition, two hundred families of kervice men have been cared for. The Brightwood post of the American Legion will be guests of the station tonight and a number of special vaudeville features have been arranged by the en- i tertainment committee. DUVALL TO ADDRESS CARPENTERS. John L. Duvall, president of the Marlon County 6tate Bank and a candidate for the Republican nomination for county treasurer at the May primaries, will be the principal speaker at a meeting of the Carpenters District Council at 138 West Washington street tonight. Mr. Duvall, who has opened an active campaign for the nomination, will speak on the relation of capital to labor. Many Republicans in the county have indorsed Mr. Dnvall's candidacy and have pledged their support at th# primary.

WRITERS CLASH IN DEBATE ON RUM QUESTION Chesterton and Shaw Hold Entirely Different Opinions. LONDON, March 2.—Beer is the bone of contention in a battle of words raging between George Bernard Shaw and G. K. Chesterton in the British press. “On the whole I am a pro-Pussyfoot,’’ declared George Bernard Shaw on being queried as to whether he opposed prohibition. “If a natural choice between drunkenness aud sobriety were possible in our civilization, I should leave the people free to choose. But when I see en enormous capitalist organization pushfug drink undwr people's noses at every corner and pocketing the price whilst leaAng me and others to pay the colossal damages then I am prepared to smash that organization and make it as easy for a poor man to be sober if he wants to as it is for his dog.” | This statement caused G. IC Chesi lerton to rise in his wrath. “What Mr. | Shaw has to say is exactly typical of ! the whole blunder about those things,” retorted Chestertou. “He actually mentions the truth and then misses it. “The evils from which people suffer spring from the fundamental evil that property, which should be normal to the ordinary citizen, has become somej thing which a few people possess and j most people don’t. “When people’s brains are tired as they , are now, it is very much easier to look at the symptons than at the cause. They say therefore, thut if we abolish the public house a lot of those evils would not. occur; Just as when the evil has become so bad that people go out, as they soon may, with bricks and stones and kill other people. It may be said that if we were to abolish bricks end tsones there would be no riots. “When people are not in the mood for going to tho roots of things they thou exclaim: ‘Cut off all these ugly branches.’ “For that matter it would be easy enough to represent that the capitalist i is no* all on thejiide of beer. | “It la perfectly"” indefensible that they j should be In Judtcial positions at all in the natter of licensing hours.” j While this merry little war goes on i between two distinguished gentlemen of Britain’s literary Bet. the buxom barmnids continue to pour the amber fluid.
