Will Keep Out of Ruhr By M \I(K SFI.1.IVAN London, May 17.—Great BritiUn is determined to avoid embarrassing France in the ituhr. to he generous toward her in all respects and man age so that time and patience shall c ure the irritation, on the part of France which arose during the three years of Lloyd George's less consider ate manners. But, wb\e this deter mination is steadily in the minds of responsible Englishmen, it is equally dear that the same class is dismayed 1 y another aspect of the French course, and is regretfully determined to take action bused on this dismay. France Expands Service. After the war. Britain demobilized her air service with the rest of her forces. France, however, expanded her air service until today she has across the channel, according to authoritatie judgement, 10 times as much air equipment as Britain has on this side. More thoughtful Britons do r.ot say of this, as Lord Balfour said at the Washington conference of France's submarine building. "Against whom is this aimed if not against Biitaln?” Englishmen say it is mere ly part of France's general military policy. » Berlin Sees Peril. France intends to nave tne greatest army in the world. If she is to have such an army at all, it must he a properly proportioned one. and the air service is merely in proportion to the rest of the army. Nevertheless, Britain is forced to take account of an air service 29 miles away which could destroy it and of the possibility that the possession of so superior a force might tempt some future government in France to take any panicky action inspired by unreasonable fear or some excessive sensitiveness or pride. Britain is going to spend upward of $100,000,000 to duplicate France's air force, on the familiar theory of being equal to any other one power. Bi itain hates to spend the money. Even more, Britain hates to take a step which, following France's initia tive, goes on in the old deadly cycle of competitive armament, with France in the pace-setting role that was Germany’s before 1914.

Marched from Dublin Prison to Docks—Iun hark at Once. It> lutpriiHtional News Dublin, May 17.—The Irish depor tees whose return to England was ob tained through court proceedings in stituted by Art O’Brien, were sent bock to English soil today by 1 lie Irish free state government. Amidsj the utmost secrecy and under heavy military escort, lot* Irish deportees were marched from Mount Joy prison at 5 o’clock to the docks, where they were hurried on hoard a government steamship. It sailed im mediately for Holyhead. The Irish women deportees were re moved from the Kilmuinham prison in ; motor lorries. They sang and cheered as they were driven up to join the men on steamship.

Formal1 announcement was made in the house of commons that the Irish free state would release the Irish prisoners who had been deported from England, so today's action caused no surprise.

May 17.—Alexander Hamilton's conception of finauSlal in tegrity and the sanctity of obligation was invoked as a remedy for present world conditions by President Hard ing in an address today at the un veiling of a statute of the first trea sury secretary. Hucli principles as Hamilton lived by, combined with a leadership which rises a trove prejudiced opinion, wheth er that prejudiced opinion had its lie ginning in war or is emphasized by geographic divisions the president de clared, would turn humanity to the rational and only way of restoration. "There will be the substitution of hope and resolution where hatred and resentment are now hindering recov ery," he added. "There will he less thought of yesterday and more of to morrow." Stresses Honesty. Without mentioning directly tlie pressing problems incident to inter national financial obligations, Mr. Harding dwelt particularly upon the value of Hamilton’s services in put ting the seal of sanctity upon the fin ancial honor of the American repub lic. He stressed the rugged honesty of this patroit-statesman. because honesty will cure 10.000 ills today and asserted that honesty among nations will dissolve their difficulties so that new and lasting friendships hound by tlie ties of fraternity and mutual trust. “Honesty of leadership will spare ue the popular misconceptions which are ever menacing to democracy." he continued. "Honesty in statecraft will point tlie way to Impregnable heights. Honesty in polities will re veal unerring public opinion and hon esty in public service everywhere will diminish public waste ami extrava gance. Condemns Factionalism. ''Honesty of manhood and woman hood will abolish tlie sources of dis content which threaten the world's civilization and will bring ns to con viction concerning Hie fundamentals of the social fabric, without which fundamentals there tan be no human progress.-* ’rite president deplored the develop ment of factionalism and pointed to the seemingly Inspired fear of fac tioiKtlisni held by Hamilton, who ! 9 said, ‘'fought it in the making and warned us of today against its devel opment.” Despite this warning. Mr. Harding said, factions have arisen which would invade the constitutional rights of others or subvert the constitution itself •'We have our factions which seek to promote this orr that Interest, without irgird to the relationship to others ami without regard for the common weal,” said Mr. Harding. “We have the factions of hatred and prejudice and violence. We have, our coalitions which would invade the constitutional rights of others or sub vert the constitution itself. We have our factions challenging both civil and religious llbertv and without them l)Oth made everlastingly secure there cania) no real human liberty. We have the fatal factionalism which contemplates obstruction to the nc i ution of the laws. < annot Survive Factionalism. "So nation will survive where this factionalism 1s endured. Hamilton warned its that however such com binations or associations may now and then answer popular ends, they hi* likely themselves to usurp the ieins of government, destroying afterward* the very engines which have lifted them tn unjust dominations.’ Wash ingtnn uttered the same caution, it was Hamilton's conception that the federal Influence would crush out factions, taking heed of course, when evci h call to real justice hod in any way inspired • If we will carry on, visualizing the nation <>f which he dreamed, w» will maintain the national viewpoint ani emphasize the Interwoven intimacy of nil activities, where none may per manently prosper without a prosper ous whole: if we will throttle the fal.ee cm of ( lass when* none need exist n the beckoning of American opportu nity; if we will be hi hopeful!

Free Prisoners, Talk Afterwards, Orders to China American Minister Threatens Drastic Action Unless Bandits' Captives Arc Released at Once. B.r Tnirertal Senlce. Tsaochwang, Province of Shantung, China, May 18.—Get the foreign cap tive out of the grip of the Suchow bandits and talk terms afterwards, otherwise there will be "drastic action," was the ultimatum laid down to Chinese government officials here late Wednesday by Dr. Jacob G. Schurntan, American minister to China. The American diplomat, who stopped off here on his way from Shanghai to Pekin, told tlie Chinese officials congregated here to negotiate with the bandits that unless the for eign prisoners were released lmmedi ately serious complications would re stilt. Dr. Schurman said: "End these delays and confusion between various departments of the government. Get the captives out and talk terms afterwards, otherwise there will be drastic action taken." Relations between the Chinese gov ernment and the representatives of foreign countries ate desc.-rilied on all hands as “strained" as a result of the bandit situation. Dr. Schurman kept in constant j cable communication with Washing ton during his stay in Shanghai and ; sent and received numerous messages. J. ft. Powell and other captive* have sent out word from their moun tain prison that ail the prisoners am beginning to fell the strain. Home are ;ll from insufficient and unaccus tomed food. Others forced to make new farches from place to place with their feetu nhealed from the bruise* and cuts of the rocky trail from the scene of th« holdup near Suchow. are suffering intensely. The bandits charge that the Chinese troops have not been withdrawn, despite official assertions to the con trary.
