BRITISH CABINET
DDES NOT SUIT
IRELAND
LONDON, July 13.—The coalition
cabinet has apparently not arranged
any political truce between the party
organs, which are quite as antagon
istic ns before the joint government
was formed. Neither party seems
satisfied with the selections of the
other side.
No sooner was the appointment of
Dr. Christopher Addison announced,
as Parliamentary Secretary of Muni
tions, to take the most recent instance,
than the C.lobe, a conservative organ,
asks whether a man who had been
professor of anatomy and medical lec
turer and writer so many years before
entering parliment is capable of bring
ing business methods to bear on the
organization of war supplies under
Lloyd George.
"He had hoped when the new gov
ernment came Into existence,” com
ments the Globe, “that the era of
criticism had been brought to an end
and that we should all be able to work
together for the common good with
complete confidence in one another.
But such an appointment as that of
Dr. Addison to an office of vital im
portance is like a douche of cold
water upon these aspirations.”
Liberal papers, which had not yet
recovered from the shock of the high
preferment given Sir Edward Carson
and the others engaged in arming
northern Ireland for revolution during
the home rule crisis, raised an outcry
over the appointment of the militant
Ulsterman, J. H. M. Campbell, M. P„
to the lord chancellorship of Ireland,
which was announced concurrently
with Dr. Addison’s. The Manchester
Guardian declares a grave political
situation has arisen in Ireland because
of it:
"Those jvho had been praising the
growing enthusiasm for the allies in
southern Ireland and had begun to
rejoice in its fruition in the steady
flow of recruits from classes and dis
tricts that had been holding aloof in
doubt, are gravely concerned about
the development," says the Guardian.
The Freeman’s Journal, the nation
alist organ, says Campbell identified
himself with the "preachers of
anarchy.”
The Daily News calls the appoint
ment the “death knell of the political
truce in Ireland, while the Chronicle,
also an organ of the liberal party,
more mildly says: “Whatever Mr.
Campbell’s merits as a lawyer, his ap
pointment as the head of the judiciary
in Ireland at this juncture would be
received by dismay by Irish national
ists. It would, In fact, be regarded as
grievous affront.”

I GARLIC AIDS PICKPOCKETS
j _
i NEW YOHK, July 12.—When you
are In New York, look out for the man
who has the smell of garlic on his
breath. According to the “gum
shoo" men, the “dips” have suddenly
become fond of the Italian favorite
vegetable which they have discovered
jj Is a great aid in plying theifr trade.
t Crowded subway trains are the work
ing places for pickpockets. W'ith the
4 aroma of garlic on their breatli they
1 stand In front of a man with unbut
' toned coat and breathe in his face.
; The passenger makes a wry face and
' is sure to put his hand to cover his
> probosicuB. JuBt as soon as he does
i the dip gets busy and when the vic
, tlm recovers himself he is either shy
\ his watch or roll. It Is a new trick
\ But the detectives are trailing all
| garlic eaters.

BUCHAREST NOW
GAYEST CITY
IN EUROPE
BUCHAREST, July 13—Bucharest,
long known ns the "Pocket Paris" now
boasts of being the gayest city In
Europe. The war has brought a
great (leal of money Into Rumania,
and those who have benefltted are
staying at home to spend their new
found fortunes, for there Is little to
attract a traveler these days to Paris,
or Vienna or London. Much of the
money is the result of Rumania's ex
cellent bargaining with Austria and
Germany for her last wheat crop and
for other articles of wartime need.
It is sufficiently easy to spend
money in Bucharest, and it is part of
the cult of the city that pleasure can
only be commensurate with outlay.
Most articles of clothing cost five
times as much here as in Paris or
London. The hotels ask $6 a day for
a very ordinary room, nnd meals are
correspondingly costly.
The women of Bucharest model
their style and carriage closely after
the example of Paris, but not the chas
tened Paris of wartime. Feminine
heels are higher In Bucharest than
anywhere else in the world, and the
Eastern temperament of Rumania al
lows more exaggeration in the use of
rouge and powder than Paris would
sanction. The men—that Is, the men
of the fashionable set—would be
called too well dressed In London or
New York.
Society appears at its best in the
afternoon, when everyone that aspires
to be anyone goes for a drive on the
C'haussee. The horse-drawn vehicle
is still quite the thing, with coach
man and driver in velvet livery and
silken sash of gaudiest color. After
the drive comes 5 o'clock tea taken
either at home or In one of the fash
ionable cafes. Tea is followed by a
leisurely promenade down the Callea
Victoria, which is the Riverside Drive
of Bucharest and like It the starting
point of many a romance.
The evening is taken up with din
ner and the theater. Then at mtd
night, when the concerts and theaters
are finished, the night cafes open.
There are cabarets and dance halls by
the score, and everywhere plenty of
music. Prices are on a scale which
it would be hard to beat in New York.
The best supper places offer custom
ers a varied entertainment—the latest
Tango dances, the newest, wildest
Hungarian music from zimbals and
pan-pipes, and vaudeville numbers of
many types.
Flower women and child beggars in
great numbers haunt the neighborhood
of the cafes until almost dawn. They
are allowed to enter even the best
restaurants and circulate around
among the tables, where they gather
a few coins and many bits of food.
The afternoon promenade on the
Callea Victoria strikes the foreign
visitor as a little freer nnd more un
conventional than anything of the
same kind to be found in European or
American cities. The man who smiles
at a lady he does not know is not
frowned upon, but is rather regarded
by the majority as a commendably
dashing nnd gallant fellow.

FEWER EMIGRANTS
QUITTING IRELAND
DUBLIN, July 13.—There were
fewer emigrants from Ireland last
year than In any 12 months since the
returns were first collected In 1861
The total for 1914 was 20,314, of whom
10,850 were males. The largest num
her of emigrants during any one yeai
was In 1862, when 190,000 personi
left the country.
BULGARIA RUDY
SOFIA, July 13.—The Bulgarian
army is now far better prepared for
war than It was for the Balkan war
of 1912. It comprises four divisions
of 120,000 men ready for action, with
another ten divisions of 300,000 men
of first line reserves, who could be
mobilized In a few days. If necessity
should arise, this force could be more
than doubled.
Bulgaria's entry into the war as the
foe of Turkey would relieve pressure
on the allies to the south. Adrlanople.
which the Bulgarians were forced to
hand back to the Turks after the last
Balkan struggle, has been denuded
of its arms for use in the Dardanelles
campaign. This ought easily to fall
to the Bulgarians, who could then
cross down to Hodosto on the Sea of
Marmorn. This would cut Constan
tinople off from Keshan, where the
Turks have concentrated their forces
for the operations on the Gallipoli
Peninsula. At least, the Turks would
be reduced to communication by sea.
Bulgaria no longer demands Salon
ika. Her cluims are small compared
with those of the other Balkan
nations, being confined to the really
Bulgarian portion of Macedonia with
Kavalla and its natural outlets on the
Aegean Sea.
