Threatened Disturbance in Ireland

Further signs of unrest in ireland have
been manifested at the conference Of rail-
way engineers and firemen at Thurles, but
it seems unlikely that the proposed strike
will ever be carried into effect. What the
men demand is a war bonus equal to that
paid TO their fellow workers in England,
and in all probability they will get it. The
times are dangerous, and it would be I'M
wise to encourage repetition of what
happened recently in Dublin when the
metropolitan police made a similar de
mand.
1t is certain that majority Of Dublins
citizens were in sympathy with the police,
though many disapproved Of the methods
they used to enforce their demands. The
policeman in Dublin is poorly paid, the
wages ranging from Sc to about SO a weel,
or somewhat less on an average than the
pay of a letter carrier, and considerably
less than the earnings of many a dock la
borer. They asked for better pay and "a
reasonable war bonus, but they waited long
and nothing was done for them. In the
meantime the agents Of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians saw their opportunity, and
proceeded TO work on their discomfort, with
the result that many joined the order in
open defiance Of the Police Commissioner
threats of disciplinary action.
The police are nominaly forbidden TO
belong to any political or secret society,
but they virtually went on strike, and it is
estimated that about half of the whole
force joined the Hbernians 1t is not to
be denied that this powerful order is a
very serious menace to peace in Ireland.
Cardinal Logue, speaking of its activities
in some parishes known to him, once de-
scribed it as "a pest. a cruel tyranny, and
an organized system Of blackguardism."
Obviously, then, it was a perilous thing
TO suffer the police force Of the capital
to fall under so mischievous an influence
In the end increased rates of pay were
secured by the police, but the delay in
granting demands which were not wholly
unreasonable brought about results that
may prove unfortunate in the future.
1t is possible, then, that the railway
managers may come to terms with their
men rather than run the risk of strike
which might prove disastrous in the pres
ent unstable state of affairs in Ireland

Thrifty Paris Housewives

= rom me Cleveland Ii0ln DCulfF
Women of America have ever been eager to
adopt the latest fads from Paris; they may
be glad to know there is one style which
they can import with profit as well as with
pleasure. a new style Of marketing has
been adopted over there since the war; and
since il has not been given IN one may
assume that u has proven successful.
To reduce living expenses, Partisan house
wives club together in groups of five or six
and select one of their number to visit the
central markcts-which in Paris are called
halles." When en- article sells for 90 cents
a pound or three pounds for 90 cents, this
shopper can buy six pounds for 81 and APP
portion the saving of 20 cents among six
people. In a large weekly marketing these
little savings amount to something worth
while. She also saves the car fare Of the
five others.
In Paris markets there are other features
which one does not meet with here at home.
For instance, there is the institution called
the cutter Suppose the buyer for half
dozen housewives decides 10 buy a whole
sheep she takes the carcass 10 the cutter
lie cuts II into xix portions; then the house
wives draw lots for the best pieces
Far be II from any one TO suggest to the
prosperous American woman that she adopt
these pinchpenny methods of a nation al war.
There Is merely the suggestion that there are
ways Of wrestling with the high cost of food
If one sits down and thinks them out Co.
operative buying is one of these ways

Look After the Consumers

Resuming the legislative inquiry into
the milk situation, Senator Wicks, chair
man of the joint committee, declares that
New York State must act on the findings
of that body if the milk business is not to
be lost, as the state has already lost the
sheep business. He promises that the con-
sumers' end of the transaction will receive
attention presently. The state, he insists,
has power to establish system of media
ton which will protect producer and con-
sumner alike from Severe loss"
II is greatly to be hoped that the inter
ests Of the consumers will receive as much
attention at the hands Of the committee as
have those of the producers. Nobody ques-
tons the ability of the distributors. espe.
cially in this city. TO take care of them
selves. The producers showed, in the re-
cent milk strike, that they had in their
hands a ready weapon for self-protection.
The consumers have none. When the dairy
farmers forced from the distributors an
increase in prices, the increase-and lit
tie more--was passed along to the GUS
toners here. They must pay it or go with
out milk, which for most families as an
impoSsibility. They have no redress, NJ
relief from the burden, unless Senator

For centuries the enlightened nations Of
the world found joy in robbing and massa-
oring Jews. They were weaker people.
They could be safely prosecuted and plum
dered. Only one thing was needed-a stimu-
lating story against them, with which com
munity could infame itself when it wished
to pilage and murder the helpless The
story was provided in the universally popu-
lar folk ballad Of ritual murder The song
tells how the little Christian boy is lured
into the Jewish quarter. He is killed for
ritual purposes. The moral is clear. Jews

Vardar Valley. But such a line will be
difficult to munition on its western side,
and Il will have many obvious perils.
If the German Bulgarian force, when
il is driven out Of Monastir, is actually
routed if it loses its heavy artillery,
which is more likely, given the condition
Of the roads. then il may be unable to
rally and hold the Babuna Pass; such a
failure would compel the evacuation OF all
the Vardar Valley south Of the eastern
entrance TO Babuna and enable the Allies
to make a sweeping advance north along
the Bclgrade-Salonica railroad. They
now have the advantage Of the Monastir-
Salonica railroad, which they are using.
Actually the Monastir operation is an
effort to turn the Bulgarians out Of the
Vardar Valley the real road to Serbia,
bv a circling movement 10 the west
through the Plain of Monastir. This is
necessary because it is next to impossible
to drive the Bulgarians up the Vardar
Valley by direct frontal attack, so strong
are the positions of the Bulgars in the
narrow gorges, particularly at Demir
kapu. If the Allies take Monastir they
are going to turn east, move up the road
over the Babuna Pass, move down the
valley of the Cerna, and endeavor to con-
tinue their encircling movement by follow
ing the westernmost of the three roads,
that which passes through Gostivar and
Tetovo and along the foothills Of the
Shar Mountains, joining the Skoplie-Mit
rovitza railroad north Of Skoplie.
One must not lose the relation between
the Monastir campaign and that in Ru-
mania. The French have an admirable
term-coup de Ventotse-which describes
lust such a movement. 1t is the applica-
ton of a leech at one point to draw off
at another. Thus the attack
in Macedonia is designed to weaken Bui-
gar attacks directed by Mackensen in the
Dobrudja, by threatening the safety of
the Bulgar armies in Macedonia and
likewise threatening to retake from the
Bulgars that portion of the price paid
them for their alliance with Germany
which they hold most valuable.
So far Bulgaria has reaped great re-
wards with only small casualties. Now
her casualties are growing rapidly as she
is attacked by Russian, Briton, French
man and Italian, as well as Serb. The
length of the war is a real burden to her,
for she is poor. A real disaster about
Monastir might change Bulgarian temper
and transform the whole situation in the
but if it is to have great value
for the Allies it must save Rumania.

A Curious Suit

Washington dispatches say that, attor-
neys representing Cuba have asked per-
mission of the United States Supreme
Court to file suit against the State OF
North Carolina to secure the payment of
state bonds valued at 81, 600 These
bonds apparently belong TO an issue re-
pudiated many years ago by North Caro-
lima. Holders Of this Indebtedness, both
in this country and abroad, have tried
again and again to get some sort of legal
judgment against the defauting state gov
eminent. But since state can be sued
only by another state, or by a foreign
government it has been possible to make
test in the Federal courts only by do
mating bonds to some state or nation will
ing to try to realize on them for its own
benefit.
Some years ago the Legislature of South
Dakota, in frugal moment, voted to ac-
cept as a gift batch of uncollectible
North Carolina bonds. The Attorney Gen
eral of South Dakota went so far as to file
proceeding for collection in the Federal
Supreme Court. Then the pride and self-re-
spect of the people of South Dakota were
successfully appealed to. 1t would manifest
ly be a grave breach of the comfy which
should exist between two sister states if
one should thus permit herself to be used
as sort of claim collection agency in pro-
ceedngs hostile to the other. So far as
South Dakota was concerned the unpaid
North Carolina bonds represented no bona
fde obligation. They were mere gra-
tuity. in recognition of which the state gov
eminent was expected to do the donors a
service incompatible with its own dignity.
So South Dakota withdrew the suit and
its Legislature returned the bonds TO the
donors. Subsequently similar attempt
was made to get the State of Rhode Island
to bring suit. The Legislature voted to
accept the bonds for the purpose of'col-
lecting on them. But within a few days
the acceptance was rcscinded.
Now Cuba seems 10 have been persuaded
to step in and act as a collector. She may
not feel bound by the sense of state comfy
which operated to restrain South Dakota
and Rhode Island She may legitimately
collect what is due her, however the bonds
came into her possession. 1t may be that
North Carolina ought to be made to pay
For all that, however the transaction
cannot fail to look little picayune. Our
Constitution, as modified by the Eleventh
Amendment, does not permit the holders of
North Cardinals bonds to sue that state in
the Federal courts. This may be right or
wrong. But since that exclusion holds, it
cannot but seem indecorous for state or
foreign power to try to do indirectly for
these creditors what they are distinctly
forbidden to do for themselves.

The German Legend

The Germany army has created a similar
legend of wicked Belgian and French priests
and peasants. These peasants, old men,
women and children, are pictured danger
Gus francs tireurs that is, as disguised sol
diers. shooting from houses, mutilating the
wounded. This story allows the officers 10
order their men to rob, burn and murder.
II allows the men TO feel good in carrying
out the orders. They wanted the good clocks,
the furniture, the money the iron mines, the
land. They wanted a joy ride in human
blood They wanted to see the flames catch.
Because of the yarn that "the inhabitants
fred on u.s." they could have all these indul-
gences and yet come away with a good con-
science. There isn't the slightest bad taste
, in their mouth. When made prisoner, these
men who have waded through villages. shot
old men, burned houses with the dwellers in
them as if they were piles Of rubbish, are
as untroubled as if they had just rounded

fare with gusto. They are touchingly CRATE

"A patrol Of scouts composed of six Ba-

Arrived nj Nomeny, they asked where the
farm was. They then came along the side of
the farm where there was a little door.
Three entered there, the other three came
around by the big door. We were ready for
supper, sitting around a table. We heard
blows on blows of the bayonets on rifles be-
fore the doors, with cries and ordinations
in German. They came into the place where
were sitting TO eat, placed themselves
facing us. with nothing to say. They took
