•IRISH COUNCILS
CONTROLLED BY
SINN FEINERS
DUBLIN, Aug. 5 (by Associatec
Press).—Nearly all the Irish count}
and district councils recently electee
haVP now passed resolutions declar
ing allegiance to Dail Eireann, anc
their first meetings have been turnec
into Sinn Fein demonstrations. The
new chairmen, everywhere outside
northeast Ulster, are Sinn Feiners.
The Dublin county council has al
ways been a moderate body. Now il
has has a Sinn Fein majority, has pro
nounced for Dail Eireann and elected
as its chairman a young professor ol
mathematics. At Sligo the chairman
a Sinn Fein member of parliament
announced that all their actions would
be^uided towards the most effective
means of cleaning Britain out of Ire
land.
This council, like most of the coun
cils, has made Irish language com
pulsory on all candidates for office
under the council. The councils have
refused to send minutes of their pro
ceednigs to the local government
board, and will also refuse all informa
tion to the income tax department.
None of the councils would make any
provision for the payment of the com
pensation for outrage awarded against
the localities by the courts.
At Roscommon it was decided to
stop the salary of the sheriff to punish
him for allowing military to occupy
The court house. In many places the
Republican flag was floated over the
council hall, and in some instances was
then removed by the soldiers. In Mayo
all the proceedings were carried on in
the Irish language.
So far, the local government board
which used to be very prompt in deal
ing with the local bodies has turned
a blind eye to the results of the new
departure. But sooner or later a con
conflict between the new powers and
the old Is regarded as inevitable.
SINN FEIN ESTABLISHES
JUDICIAL SYSTEM FOR
CONTROL IRISH COURTS
DUBLIN, Aug. 5 (by Associated
Press).—The Sinn Feiners have estab
lished a judicial system for Ireland
composed of parish courts, district
courts and a court of final appeal.
All judges have to take the oath of
allegiance to Dail Eireann, and all liti
gants must agree not to submit to
any enemy tribunal any matters on
which the Republican courts may pro
nounce a decision. The judges of the
parish courts receive £1 a day for
expenses and the district judges £2.
The costs of the courts are provided
out of deposits collected from the liti
gants.
The Council of the Irish Bar has de
cfTled that it is professional miscon
duct for a member of the bar to appear
before any of these courts, but there
are many Irish barristers willing to
appear for a suitable fee before the
Republican courts.
The government treats all these
courts in civil matters as really arbi
trations with which they are not con
cerned. But in criminal matters they
are regarded as illegal and persons
punished by them are entitled to the
protection of the police.

l trate how to raise fruit and berries
' desirable for canning purposes will
be selected within a short time by

^ is here for the purpose.

■ Puyallup and Sumner Fruitgrowers’

i cannery here. Some local men took

FORMER KAISER LEADS
SIMPLE LIFE IN DOORN
DOORN, Holland, Aug. 5 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The former German
Emperor William, while professing a
desire to lead at Doom the quiet life
of a country gentleman, has neverthe
less created a little court around him
—somewhat larger than that which he
had at Amerongen—and Dutch news
papers have already begun calling
Doom “The Little Potsdam.”
The allies’ demands upon Holland
to guard the former emperor closely
have made it impossible for William
to mingle with the Dutch country gen
try who have estates about Doom and
the house where he is said to expect
to spend his remaining days is just
like a little bit of Germany.
Strict military order prevails out
side the house of Doom, where pass
ersby must not be too curious. Within
the discipline is Prussian. William’s
only associates are German. His en
tire staff, including approximately 40
servants, are German, with one excep
tion—the village barber, a Dutchman,
is called in now and then to trim his
hair or beard.
When at Amerongen, William went
frequently to Doom by automobile,
but now he is seldom seen outside the
jWire fence of his estate, which villag
ers call his “40 hectare cage.” Forty
hectares are about 80 acres.
The few times he has been out he
has paid visits to his former host,
Count Bentinck, at Amerongen. Now
and then, the former crown prince or
others of William’s sons have been
permitted to visit the exile, largely be
cause of the illness of their mother,
but, from day to day, William seldom
sees any new faces—only his daily as
sociates.

SAYS ANGLO-JAPANESE
ALLIANCE TO PRESERVE
PEACE IN THE FAR EAST
TOKIO, Aug. 5 (by Associated
Press). The Anglo-Japanese alliance
does not run counter to the League of
Nations, wrote Premier Hara, favoring
a renewal of the pact, in the course of
a contribution to the current issue of
the Japanese Diplomatic Review.
Hara declared that the English al
liance is intended for the preservation
of peace and order in the Par East,
with no particular country its objec
tive.
The Japanese were determined to
improve the relations with China and
to develop the rich natural resources
of China. It was a good thing, he
thought, that the United States was
taking no economic interest in China.
But while the interest of the United
States was economical, to Japan the
relations with China was really a
question of life and death for the na
tion. He hoped this fact would be
appreciated in a sympathetic way by
the American people.
Concerning Siberia the premier
wrote:
“The original object of Japan’s ex
pedition to Siberia was to aid the
Czecho-Slovaks. In the meantime,
however, Siberia has undergone seri
ous upheavals, endangering the life
and property of Japanese residents
and disturbing peace and order in
Manchuria and Mongolia. This is the
reason why Japan cannot evacuate
the country as soon as she expected.
However, when peace and order have
been restored in Siberia, safeguarding
the life and property of Japanese resi
dents, and ensuring freedom of com
munications, the Japanese troops will
be withdrawn, with the repatriation
of the Czecho-Slovaks.”
