WHAT sINN FEN DID.

Had there been no Sim Fein re. volt in Ireland the scheme of self rule proposed by Lloyd George and accepted by the. British Cabinet unan- imously would not have seen the light. The plan adopted at the beginning of the war, under which. the operation of the Home Rule law was suspend ed until the eire-establishment of peace, would have been adhered to. and Ire- land would not have received the con- sessions embodied in the temporary arrangement now put forward. It is fair, therefore, to say that the rebels, short lived though their rebellion was. accomplished something. however far they fell short of their principal object, the. founding of an Irish re- public, free and independent.
 [ By what has been given to Ireland, by the fact that the carefully consid- cred program of the government with respect of her future has been yaban- doned, the impression produced on Englishmen by the Dublin uprising may be measured. If 1t astonished the English it opened their eyes; and the subsequent record discloses them ing measures to meet. at least in part. the demands of the dissatisfied popu- lation.
 What the government offers will not satisfy all Irishmen. That is ob- vious. But 1t Is equally apparent that it is more than would have been given had there been no Sim Fein.--Nss' Xeak o1p.

PAPER ROLLS USED
 FOR CELLULOID FILM
 IS FRENCH 'sMOVIES'

Paris, July. 12AThe substitution of paper rolls for celluloid films in nov
 ing picture machines made possible by
 the new "cold'' light discovered by the
 French engineer Dussaud, which is described to the> academy Of science by Prof. Branley, with whom Dus- saud studied the new light, is obtained
 by. automatici separation of heat rays from luminous rays which occur to- gether in all sources of light hitherto known to science.
 The quest of an absolutely pure light devoid of sll heat long has been lone of the great problems of modern physics. The electric light is the [nearest approach to this ideal, but far from 1t as 1t gives off a certain amount of heat
 M. Dussaud has been working on this problem for many years The light obtained by this method is so
 Intense that it is possible to throw
 images from newspaper illustrations, picture postcards and photogfaphic prints on a screen even in lighted room as clearly and sharply as if they were glass lantern, slides. s

BRITISH PAPER SAYS
 U-BOAT IS WARSHIp

London. July The Daily News says the British government is dis posed to take a very serious view of the status of the German submarine Deutschland. The official opinion is said to be that under, existing circum- stances a submarine cannot be classed as merchant vessel at all.
 The American government faces a new and delecate problem which adds one more to the already numerous points on which decision after the war will be- imperative" the News continues.
 Even if a submarine merchantmen can prove herself to be really un- armed. the difficulties of supervising such craft, even in harbor, must be almost insuperable for the friendly neutral. If such a vessel chose, it is fairly clear, she might with the ad- vantages she possesses. most grossly abuse the hospitality extended to her"

INSTANTANEOUS.
 DENOUNCE T..R.
 IN HOT MEETING.

Harrisburg. Pa., July 12-Theo- dore Roosevelt was denounced and there were loud cries of 7"gag rule" and treason" at a red hot session yesterday eof the Progressive sta"e Committee of Pennsylvania. which in- dorsed Hughes for President.
 J It was decided by a vote of 23 to 21 not to organize, at least until af- ter the campaign, the Washington Party State Committee, which ss the technical registered title of the Pre- gressive outfit in the Keystone State. t By a vote of 22 to II the meeting indorsed Hughes. A resolution in- dorsing Roosevelt's declination of the Progressive Presidential nomination was carried with few ''noes" against it. ilS A
 Some of the angry Progressives said after adjournment that the outlook for Wilson carrying Pennsylvania is much brighter now than it was yes terday.
 William Film, Progressive National Committeeman from Pennsylvania. led the movement to suspend the commit tees, organization and functions. M
 Alfpll state committee consists of one hundred and fifteen members. Only seventy-seven had been elected. and but twenty-one attended today's meeting. Twenty-one others sent proxies. It was the proxies. cast by State Chairman A, N. Detrich. that put the Progressives officially out of business during the Hughes cam paign and fixed a cat-swallowed-the- canary smile on the face of Film.
 On a plea from Clifford Pinchot. the few delegates who attende em- powered him to form the "Pennsyl- vania Progressive League to be or ganized later in the summer,
 Chairman Detrich's conduct of the meeting was criticised by William F. Roland of Scranton, who accused De- trich of applying "gag rule" and of treason to the party" Roland got into a fuss with Finn and Pinchot.
 Finn was called on to explain his attitude and was heckled for more than an hour. The discussion was so heated that pothing was done regard ing the Washington Party State tick ct, which will stand unless its mem bers withdraw. s

NEW TROLLEY STOPS CAUSE CONFUSION, BUT HELD TRAFFIC

Though some confusion was caused
 yesterday by the trolley stops on Main street1 hGny were aware sof the new Iregulati6hs. The trolley poles along Main street were repainted Monday. The White bands on many were painted over while the bands were placed on the, poles at the new stops. As 1t is believed that the new stops will be of great help to the police in facilitating the movement of traffic, | ft is probable that all trolley stops
 In the city will be made near-side
