There are the strongest reasons
for believing that further attempts
will very soon be made to bring about
a settlement. The high Imperial in
terests which the partition proposals
were intended to serve still urgently
demand attention, and it is most i'm
portant for the British Empire that a
settlement of the Irish question should
be effected, without any delay what
ever. The same consideration that
influenced the leaders of the Irish
Party in agreeing to the recent pro-
posals will still weigh with them.
Means must, therefore, be taken to
prevent anything in the nature of a
settlement that would fall short of
self-government for all ireland.
Kept in Ignorance.
1T may be we'll to briefly recapitu-
late the history of the recent negotia-
tions. The leaders of the Irish Party
having entered into an agreement
committing themselves to this scheme
in opposition to Irish National senti
ment and without consultation with
the people proceeded to secure the

been more active than ever in Irish
affairs. This activity had been inten-

ovation. She was much in demand at

one OF the latter until two days before
her death.

The Ard.Fheis then proceeded to

A motion from Kerry proposing the
establishment of provincial commit

acknowledged.
1t was decided that in future no per-

the number of vice-presidents from

On q poll it was decided by a very
large majority that the Ard-Fheis
would elect the president and four

Referring to American expressions
of opinion in regard to the resolutions
adopted at the economic conference
of the Entente allies at Paris, at which
consideration was given to various
proposals, especially regarding tariff
changes, which provoked wide COM
ment in America, the Guardian says.
There is no doubt that the sus-
picion here implied is injuriously af-
fecting the allied cause in America and
those circumstances should not be
overlooked in our calculations for the
future. But above all other influences
working against us in America is the
memory of the Irish revolt
"One of the greatest assets when
the war broke out was the cordial
neutrality of the American people,
made possible by the restraint and
somewhat reluctant sympathy OF
American Irish.
"That, we sacrificed, and the loss ie

England, having destroyed their con.

loaded her debt onto their shoulders,
ruined their trade and commerce,
turned their tillage fields into cattle

halved their population-all within a

To protest is seditious, to rebel is
treachery. Even though her heart and
her interest be agreeable, she can
never erase the evil that she has done
to that country. She cannot give back
the Irish their green isle, but she
could have given them back their po-
litical liberties and permitted them by
their wise direction to regain within
the next 100 years the place in the
world they held hundred years ago.
This she has not done. This she has
pledged herself under pressure from

IRELAND FOR THE IRISH

1t was with undiluted delight that
the true friends of the subject nation

ment, were opposed to the CON-
promise which had been agreed to un-
der the persuasive influence of Lloyd
George, the modern incarnation of the
worst type of Greek demagogue. Red.
mond and O'Connor had accepted it,
but both we're already amenable to
English influence and too opposed to
the aims of Sim Fein. Many promi-
nent Englishmen were known to op-
pose the settlement because it was
fair neither to Ireland nor to Ulster,
and the majority of British politicians
welcomed it merely for the sake of
ending nightmare and out of sheer
weariness of the spirit.
The Ulster counties, in so far as the
Protestant people of English or Scotch
descent are concerned, demand and
deserve full consideration, but they
have had all the innings for years past
and their forefathers were, after ALL
intruders. Their own feelings and
their own future mattered, however,
very little in the minds of the Cap
tains of industry who wanted to enjoy
both the English social life and privi-
leges and yet benefit by the economic
conditions in Ireland. The solution of
the Irish problem in favor of the Irish
people has been opposed on economic
grounds just as the greatest grievance
of the Irish was an economic griev.

rapacity lay like mountain Of bitter

HARVARD ELEVEN USES CHORUS

Seeing How Chorus Girls Have Trained Selves to Do

Black May Aid Yale.
Somehow or other we feel that the
youthful Clinton Black is going TO do
more in bringing order out Of the foot
ball chaos at Yale than any other man
that Yale could have named as its 1915
captain.
BLACK recently came forth with a
few remarks in which he said that
fale's 1915 record was a disgrace and
that he would do everything in his
power 10 bring back Yale to its old
standing near the crest Of the foot
ball world
And Black backed up his words by
acting. He went before the athletic
council and surrendered his rights as
a Yale captain-the rights that make
a youthful captain a higher power
than the coach or a whole board OF
coaches Blacks manliness in that
action has won for him nation wide
friendship.
