The Exeter Advocate, 1922-8-31, Page 3:RELAD TO BE -RULED-..BY TIMMVII ATE FOR TUE TIME BEING A despatch from Dublin, .says.— Vol' the 'time beetle, et least, the Irish Free State Government is to be dieect- ed by a triumvirate,. The three men Wen whom fa11e the task. of checking the •homicidal madness of the Repub- lican guerillas and of conserving the preetige •4#' the Free State enema' the People are William T. Cosgrave, Minister of Horne Affairs; R chax4 Mulcahy, Minieter of Defence, and George Gavan Duffy, member of Dail Eireann, and one of the signers of the treaty of London by which the Free State was established. Of the three, observers of recent events in Ireland point to Cosgrave ins the most able administrator and astute statement; to Mulcahy as the military strategist, and to Duffy as the political wiseacre and men of ex- perience, AM three, of course, were Republi- cans and ardent ones until the treaty of London split the Sinn Feb and signalized the present era of civil war. Cosgrace once was senntenred to ,death for the part he took in the ris- leg of Easter Week,1916. His sen- tence -commuted, he spent nearly 18 months in prison then, and in 1920 was again arrested in Dublin and im-1 lrrieoned :for a time. ITe is a lawyer, and for many years was a member of tae corporation oe the City of Dublin, In the first Republican Cabinet he was Minister ee Local Government, and on the forma- tion of the Free State Cabinet by Griffith was 'chosen Minister of Home Affairs. George Gavan Duffy, also; pis a law- yer. Ile has practiced in the English and Irish courts for 20 years and was chief of counsel to Sir Roger Case- ment, when the tatter was tried and convicted of treason in England, dura ing the war, later suffering the death penalty in the tower of London, Ile is a son of the late 4ir Charles Gavan Drffy, a distinguished Dublin bar- raster. In the de Valera republican government he was regarded as a keen! diplornat and successively represented' the republic at Paris :and Remo , "Dashing Dick" Mulcahy is one of the idols of the Irish people. He is not yet 30 years old, but is regarded es the ablest military strategist in all of Ireland, It saes in accordance with; E his plans that the guerilla warfare °, against the Black and Tans was ear- ried out and the Black and Tans knew him for a soldier whcse purposes they rarely; were able toy foil. He was studying medieine in the National University less than six years ago, when his 'country's plight: appealed so strongly to his imagination that he gave up- medicine and threw all his energies into the acquisition of milt tary knowledge and eeperienee. ALLIES TO RECOGNIZE KING CONSTANTINE 'rest Britain to Make First Move in. Receiving Hellenic Monarch. A despatch from. London, saya:•--• Xing Constantine of Greeee will prob- ably be recognized by the British Gov- ernment as soon as the. Turko-Creels peace u'e ty is signed, it wag learned on Thursday. It is undereeoed Con- etantine knows how he stands in this matter and that the proepect of be- ing received again into the small and escclusive circle a European royalty will greatly influence him to be rea- sonable in entering into negotiations with the Allies and the Turks. It is not expected he=re that France will extend a recognition simultane- ously with Great Britain, but it is believed that Itely will follow later in such action and that France will eventually have to climb down. It is admitted here that Constantine has greatly strengthened his titular posi- tion since he has remounted the throne by royal marriages already made in his family or Contracted for in the Balkans and in Scandinavia..

COAL AND RML STRIKE SITUATION AT LAST DISCUSSED BY CONGRESS A despatch from Washington, says: sult in a change of Administration —The industrial crisis, through failure policy, should the strikes continue, of the negotiations to settle the =C-4 Atthe =elusion of the debate the road and anthracite strikes, found its way back to the Administration door- step on Thursday and aroused an up- heaval in the Senate. Collapse -of the mediation efforts in both of the strikes precipitatedturbulent debate, in which strong s+entiment developed for Gov- ernment seizure of the railroads and country. The opinion is shared by Secretary Hoover, who said that "the situation has changed from concern over short coal production to that of .a coal ear supply." Three-quarters of the normal weekly bituminous coal demands, car 6,000,000 tons, will be znined this week, the Secretary of Connnnerce said, and he predieted'that next week the production will amount to 7,000,000 tons. In the anthracite field settlement of the strike is more remote than two months ago, but the attitude •o€ -Con: grass as disclosed in Thursday's . de- them..Thursda ;s: Senate debate, it is de- bate may 'bring the disputing parties believed in some quarters, might re- to a more reasonable frame of mind. Government ownership issue was put squarely up to Congress when Senator Walsh (Mass.), Democrat, formally. introduced a resolution directing the President to take over the coal mines. With the exception of the anthracite situation, the worst phase of the coal strike is over, in the opinion of Gov- vernment officials in intimate touch with fuel conditions throughout the anthracite mines. The discussion was the first real manifestation -by Congress of an ap- Peeciation :of the ge vity of the s •tua- tion, and may be :a forerunner of ac- tion authorizing the President to as- sume control of railroads and. hard coall mines, pending a settlement of the labor controversy: The President, ass far ae known, has not changed his policy outlined in his message to Gen- ovese, which demanded that the law be enforced in the strikes•, but recom- mended no legislation relating to THE NEXT TANG ON TI.%PRo6RANl Nall BE.
