Tbe Mennonlte Bretbren in Christ Dublin.—In thc raids cnrried out ngnlnst the Sinn Fe!:i organizations Ihroughout Ireland some arms and ex¬ plosives were found. Large quantities (if documents nnd Sinn Fein literature wore seized, notably in Dublin, whore every cofiy. of tlip report of Prank P. Wulsb and ICiUvard F. Dunne, who in¬ vestlgnted conditions in Irolnnd on be- Imlt of American Irish societies, nnd correspondence relnllng to nrrnn;.'lni; trade relations between Ireland nnd the United States and other foreign countrle.s, fell into llie hands of the nuthnritios. Tho liel let waf expressed in Sinn Fein qunrtcrs here thnt noth¬ ing of an Incrimiiuillng nature was found. The Gnzctle prints ilie proclnmntlon, signed by Viscount French, the lord lieutenant of Ireland, prohibiting nnjl suppressing the Sinn Fein parliament known as the Dail EIreann. It refers to the prnclanintlon ot Tu'y 3 suppress¬ ing the Sinn Fein organizations as un¬ lawful nssociniioii.s. It describes the Dnli Kirciiiin ns a dangerous assocln- tloii nnd snys thnt .Ince July It hns been employeil for nil tho purposos of the then suppressed organizations. The proclnMiiilioii applies to the 32 counties and six county boroughs of Irolnnd. The Dull Eironnn Is plnced under the -crimes act, and Its meetings nre pro- hiliited. Any member of parliament lielnnging to the Sinn Fein who dis¬ obeys the proclamation of the lord lieutenant wili be liable to prosecu¬ tion under this act. The proclnmntlon Indicates an Inten¬ tion on tho pnrt of tlie government to return to jail niost ot the men Impris¬ oned In Jlay, 191S, under suspicion ot connection with Geiman plots, who were released by Viscount French aft¬ er the signing of tho armistice. The view held lioro Is that the Brit¬ ish government now Intends to treat the entire Irish reipulillcnn movement ns seditious, ns lieing aimed at the overthrow of the king's nuthorlty and Illegal under the treason und felony aet. Irish Constitutionalists expressed the belief that the repressive action of the government will strengthen the Sinn Fein, Prominent Sinn Feiners assert¬ ed that it was their intention to main¬ tain their policy of republicanism. Detective Hoey, killed In Dublin, wns shot dead outside the detective of¬ fice In Townshend street. Six shots were flred nt him. Hoey had given tes¬ timony nt several recent courts mar¬ tini nnd also had acted ns one of the bodyguard of the lord lieutenant of Ireland.

Jlr. Grimth declared thut the Sinn Fein would curry on exactly as before. The New York fkioncler, Bernard Bnruch, is being persistently named as the proliable choice of President Wilson for secretary of commerce in his cnbinet. EARLY RAIIFIGATION URGED BY MINORITY Whore will you lind a greater screen hero than "Bill" Hart, the fa¬ mous motion piqture star? Echo answeci, where? In his newest Art- craft picture "Wagon Tracks,' which ,wiil be shown at the Y, Jl. C. A. thea¬ tre next Saturday, Sept. 20, he por¬ trays a guide in the lifties, leading a wagon train across tho desSrts and mountains toward the golden west by way of the historic old Santa Fe trail. There are battles with Indians, a struggle with gdmblers, a revenge motive, and love and adventure ga¬ lore. Witfial it is an accurate his¬ torical record of a period of .Ameri¬ can life that il romantic ,to the last degree—that period when men and women of every walk of life trekked lo the sunset across the wild lanas, peopled by hostile Indians, herds ot buffalo and threatened 'with every possible danger. The role selected for the star is a gre^t one—ot the Kit Carson type of frontiersman. He is a man who tears nothing, who is quick to champion a just cause and as quick to punish those he deems guilty ot wrong. Jane Novak makes a charming heroine and thero is a flne supporting cast. Lambert Hillyer directed the picture which was written expressly tor Jlr. Hart by C. Gardner Sullivan. Joe August did the camera work. It is a proof of his undoubted skill that he got gome of the most remarkable scenes ever shown on the screen. No one who sees this picture will soon forget il. It will be a vivid memory for months afterward. Fathers Bill To Finance American Export Trade. Six Democrats of Rpreign Rela¬ tions Committee Unite in Approval of Treaty. Wasliingtop.—Early rntlBcatlon of j tbo treaty with Germany without iiiieiidmeiit or reservntlon, wns urged in n report submitted without comment i to the Senate by Senator Hitchcock, i ranking Democrntic niember of tlie !

The suggestion of Senntor Lodge, In the ninjorlty report, that whntever changes were made In the treaty could be considered Immedlntely by the Pence Conference, which, Mr. Lodge said, would be In session six months more. Is challenged by the minority. Senator Hitchcock, who wrote the re¬ port, asserts tbnt the conference has acted fnnlly on tbe treaty and has no niejns of compelling Germany to send delegates to Paris to reconsider it •- The report asserts tbat for the United States to amend or reject the treaty will mean that It will sacrifice all the concessions obtained from Ger. many by a dictated peace. Twelve concessions are cited, Including mat. ters of Industrial und economic Im¬ portance. The reservations proposed by the majority, the report says, are designed to defeat the treaty. "While niasquerndlng In the guise of reservations," It Is added, "they are In fact alterations of the treaty." As to the amendments, the minority argues that, If adopted, they will have the effect of recommitting the treaty to Purls, thus undoing the work of the Peace Conference. The minority asserts that as n result of the delay ns to the treaty ferment hns been cnined In llie Industrial world, doubt has arisen In the flnnn- clnl world, nnd trade, especinlly ex¬ port tnule, is lieliig hnlted. All this, it is stuted, bus been done "'by a ma¬ jority of tlie committee known to lie out of hnrmony with the majority of tbe senate and the majority of the people." This Is declared to be gov- ernment by obstruction as well as by minority. \\elcome Home Ulnner. On Wednesday, Sept.

Conference, Aug. 5-10, 250 strong; the biggest delegation there.

Boston. —The fate of the locked-out policemen of I'.ostoii was definitely de¬ cided when Governor Coolidge, in a telegram to Samuel Gompers, sent In reply to the latter's message to the governor begging liim to arrange the police controversy nmlcably nnd to re- Instate the striking policemen, de¬ clares tllllt the authorities of Boston and Jlassaclm-eits will not debate or arbitrate tlieir control over the offlcers of state an(| city and thnt any kind of union on the part of policemen ts
¦ henceforth probiliited.
Tlie governor .~aid he wns de¬ termined to uphold ut all costs the au¬ thority of the stall', its constitution and its laws ainl ili :.ie(l Jlr. Gompers' analogy between tin- situntlon here and i tbnt in Wa.-iliiiigtun, wliere the police- ' men did not leave their posts while i those here did, " j
' Governor Cooiid^e's telegram reads: '
I "Replying to your telegram, I have I already refused to remove the police]
\ coimnlssioner of liosiou. I did not ap- j point him. He can as^sume no position ! wlliell the courts would uphold except i What the people have, by the authority j of the law, vested in him. He speaks '-
I only with tlieir voiie. The right of the police of Boston tn al'iliate has always ' been questioned, never granted and Is ''
' now prohibited. '
"The suggestion of President W"son j to Wasliington does not apply to . ist- i ton. There the police have remained . on duty. Here tlie policemen's union | left their duty, an action which Pres- , Ident Wilson characterized as a crime i agnlnst civilization. Your assertion .
I that the police commissioner was I wrong cannot Justify the wrong of
' leaving the city unguarded. That '
\ furnished tlie opiiortunity ; the crlmiual I element furnished ^he action. Tliere ' Is no right to strike against the public ¦ safety by anybody, anywhere, any j
^ time. '
I "You ask that the pubilc safety ;
I again be placed In the hands of tliese | snme policemen while they continue In disobedience to the laws of Mnssa- , chusetts and In tlielr refusal to obey
i the orders of the police department.
' Nineteen men have been tried and re-
' moved. Others having abandoned their
duty and their places have, under the law, been declared vacant on the
opinion of the attorney general. "I can suggest no authority outside
j the courts to take further action. I I wish to join and assist In taking a
, broad view of every situation. A grave
¦ responsibility rests on all of us. Tou I can decide on me to support you In
¦ every legal action and policy. I am equally determined to defend the sov¬ ereignty of Jla.isiiiliusetts and maln- ^ tain her authority und Jurisdiction J over her public officers where It has I been placed' by the constitution and j laws of lier people." j Grent signiticuiice was attached to ; thnt reference in Samuel Gompers'
