The movement of tht Britiih warships into the waters of County Donegal, Ireland, announced in Belfast advices today, is Interpreted here as precautionary measure, in view of the tense situa tion in Ireland. Dublin. April IS. (By A. P.) hamuli De Valera this evening is sued through his publicity depart inent an Easter message addressed to the Republic of Ireland, his special organ. "Beyond all telling is the destiny Cod had in his mind for Irelctid, the lair, the peerless one. You are arti- lirers of that destiny. Yours is the faith that moves mountains, the faith that comforts cowardly reason and its thousands of misgivings. Yours : the faith and love that begot the enterprise of Easter, 1916. "Young men and young women of Ireland, the goal is at last'in sight. Steady; all together; forward. Ire land is yours for the taking. "EAM.ON DE VALERA. ' "Easter. 1922." , Belief was expressed in some quarters in Dublin that the character of the last sentences in Mr. Dc Valera's message would strengthen current rumors of a republican coup during this Easter. The republican army insurgents to day still held she Four Courts, which tliey seized yesterday and no attempt Mat being made to dislodge them. T ' Menacing Situation. ' - - Arthur Griffith's attention was drawn to the menacing situation tu .Sligo. "I am going to Sligo," was his only comment. A party of men raided the Dublin express train for Limerick, seizing and burning the consignments of the Freeman's Journal and the Irish In dependent. Armed men also burned thousands of copies of the Irish In dependent at Kingsbridge and at the Broadstone railway terminus in Dublin. The Broadstone railway depot in Dublin, the terminus of the Sligo line, was strongly held today by Free State troops. ' It was reported from Sligo that Bishop Coyne was trying to effect a settlement between the factious and that there was a possibility of repre sentatives of the opposing sides get tine into conference. London, April 15. (By A. P.) Developments in Ireland over Sun day are awaited anxiously here, in view of the republicans seizure of the feur courts in Dublin and Ar thur Griffith's determination to hold his protroaty meeting in Sligo to morrow over the decree of the local Irish republican commander. The situation is described as very seri ous by the morning newspapers. General 'disappointment is expressed that the peace continence between representatives of the free staters and republicans adjourned without any sign of agreement, and this is com mented on as a bad omen. In Plainest Terms. ." The Daily News says: ' ' "The outlook is one of almost un believed blackne.-," 'and the West minster Gazette says it "can scarcely believe Michael Collins' tolerance will survive this outrage in the cap ital of the country for whose gov ernment he is responsible." If O'Connor's attitude is anywhere misunderstood it is not his fault, as he spoke in the plainest terms to in terviewers. The correspondent of the Westminster Gazette quotes him asSaying: "We have nothing whatever to do with politics., We are plain men who stand by the republic, all pre pared to sacrifice cur lives rather than allow the republic to be sub-, verted. It possibly may come to fighting, but if it does the responsi bility for civil war will rest upon the shoulders of those supporting the treaty." jP 1 l II Strengthen Hold. Belfast, April 15. (By A. P.) Armed forces of insurgent Irish republicans are strengthening their hold on Sligo, where Arthur Grif fith has announced he will hold a pre-treaty meeting tomorrow. The republicans have followed up their seizure yesterday of the postoffice. town hall, guild hall and barracks , until now they control virtually every position of vantage. The office of the conservative newspaper, the Sligo . Independent, was commandeered last night and an armed guard is stationed there. This position dominates the post office site and the principal streets of the city, which are being pa trolled by armed guards of republi cans. Strife in Belfast London. April 15.

Investigation Is Proposed By ARTHUR SEARS HENNINC. Omaha Hra Um4 Hlr. Washington, April U. Are the anti-trust laws, a now inter preted, throttling American busi- iu? liusiness men generally answer in the affirmative and the Harding ad ministration has become so im pressed by their assertions that it has rnuorcsu an investigation to dc tcYminc whether the restrictions on business need an overhauling. The ' F.diic resolution, which has been approved by the administration and is scheduled for passage soon by congress, provides for the ap pointment of a joint committee of three senators and three representa tives to conduct the inquiry. This committee is to "investigate exist ing conditions of industry and com merce in the United States and the markets of foreign countries, insofar as the same directly affect industry and commerce of the United States. maiming qucsiions as io prouuiuuii. distribution, labor and business methods and to report to congress and to suggest such legislation, if any. as it may deem best upon these subjects with a special reference to the most effective ways and means to revive industry and to stimulate foreign and domestic trade, to stabilize business conditions as to the future, to minimize the danger and distress of recurring periods of business depression with their re sultant cycles of general unemploy ment and to define the rights and limitations of co-operative organiza tions as distinguished from illicit combines in restraint of trade." Revision Is Suggested. That the laws to prevent and punish monopolies in restraint of trade need to be brought up to date 'Was suggested by the recent Action of congress, in legalizing agricul tural associations for co-operative marketing. Without such legislation these organizations could have been prosecuted for violation of the Sher man anti-trust law. They now will be permitted to operate under a de gree of government surveillance de signed to prevent them from develop ing into combinations in restraint of trade. Commercial ' and industrial cor porations say there -is similar need of legalizing their associations with the proper safguards against re straint of trade. In endorsing the Edge resolution.
