Mr. Griflith was too tired to talk.
As he left the hall he was cheered
by a ,vast crowd who followed bim

cheered and ' shoulted, "God bl:s$

Dublin has gone crazy tonight.
Crowds are parading the streets,
shouting, singing and building bon

been made ,to control any outbursts

'."l as Dominion of Canada
: Br th Awoclatod Prvu.
The new regime for Ireland has
Viow"; been approved by both the
British parliament and by the Dail
Kireann, Creation of the Irish free
.state is provided for in the treaty
signed last month in London, after
prolonged negotiations for a settle
ment of the Irish problems. Its pro
visions, in substance, are: .
Ireland shall have the same consti
tutional status in the British empire
as the dominion of Canada, the com
monwealth of Australia, the dominion
of New Zealand and the union of
South Africa.
Ireland shall be known officially
as.the Irish free state, with a parlia
ment having powers for the govern
ment of the country and an execu
tive responsible to that parliament.
JV provisional government is to be
set up-to. function until an Irish par
liament and a gpvernmcnt of the
Irish free state shall be constituted,
but not longer than 12 months at the
' outside.

racy of Its oa handiwork, the new
tteaty, and to show lack of con
fidence in hi new allies.
"There ia not the slightest reason
to doubt but that the four-power
treaty is in tood faith, and if it Is. a
Philippine republic, the first Chris
tian democracy of the far east, will
be perfectly safe. If the United
States set it up as a daughter repub.
lie. the lour ereattst nations on earth
will be behind it
Advance -Neutrality Plan.
"But, should there be the least an
prehension on this score, it will now
be a comparatively easy 'and simple
matter for the United States to in
duce its allies, Japan, Great Britain
and France, to sign a special Philip
pine republic neutrality agreement.
"There is every reason to believe
the three allies would sign such an
agreement if akcd tr do so by the
United States. No nation could afford
to refuse to sign and thus so early
risk the world's unfavorable conclu
sions as to its good faith respect
ing the new treaty as well as its hon
orable intentions toward the Philip
pines. "But the really important develop
ment is that the Japanese bugaboo
has received its death blow. The
propitious opportunity has arrived
for the United States to keep its oft
repeated pledge to the people of the
Philippine Islands."
The important consideration to the
advocates of Philippine independence
is that the four-power treaty paves
the wav to a neutralization agree
ment. The four-power Pacific pact
itself protects the Philippines only
so long as they remain American
territory. If they should become in
dependent the Pacific treaty no long
er would apply to them and Japan
would be absolved from obligation to
respect their territorial integrity. The
protection could then be extended to
the Philippines only by making them
party to the treaty or bv executing
a special neutralization agreement
In answering the Wood-Forbes re
port averring that a stable govern
ment . warranting inden.en4ence has
not been established in the Philip
pines. Commissioners De Veyra and
Gabaldon aimed a few shots at con
ditions in the United States.
Explain Court Congestion. I
"Criticism is heaped on inferior
courts and an unstable government
nferred, in the report because in
hundreds of different courts of the
islands, including the supreme, mu
nicipal and justice, the report alleges
that 50,000 cases are pending on thp
different court dockets. If true in
fact, they regret this congestion in
the judicial branch of our . govern
ment, but they submit that by the
same standard the United States gov
ernment might be found unstable be
cause eight federal courts - out of
more than 100 in this country report
ed 63,844 cases pending on their
dockets, according to statistics of
fered in congress last -week.
"Bearinc in mind the unexecelled
record for peace, Order and law-abiding
citizenship existing in the islands
which is admitted in"' the Wood
Forbes report, and without any pur
pose of criticizing conditions else
where, we frankly say that stories
of lynching, holdups of armed mail
trains and orders of shoot to - kill,
bank robberies and crime generally,
related in the daily press here would
shock and confound the frequently
exploited 'head hunters and 'war
ring Filipinos who long ago joined
their peaceful neighbors and are now
abiding citizens of the islands."
Belgian Custom Is
Observed for Horse
Boone. Ia.. Jan. 7, (Special.) An
old Belgian custom was carried out
in the burial of "Farceur," the fa
mous Belgian ; stallion , owned . by
Grant . GcJod. . Belgian breeders have
for many-years .buried their horses.
ni the stalls in which they, aiea.
NVhen '"Farceur" died this custom
was carried out by Mr. Good. . y
The Belgian breeders believe that
if this custom isi complied with the
horses which are kept in the stall
later will -never die there. The death
of rF,arceur.".was not only a heavy
blow to Mr. Good,-but to all raisers :
of Belgian horses in the United
States. The 'animal was valued at
$47,500, the highest price ever paid
for a Belgian horse in this country,
and up to October of last year had
been insured for $254)00, which Mr.
Good had allowed tolapse.
