Modify Their Views.

1.-The unionist is talking less Of dying
in the last ditch against coercion. and
the nationalist is now feeling so insecure
on his own ground that he is casting an
eye toward the minority Of Ulster for
support. although neither side has abdi-
Gated or is going to abdicate its princi-
pies"
Nothing could better exemp1ify this
than the proceedings Of the convention.
With the regulations under the de-
tense of the realm act in ones mind,
one cannot go into the details Of the
work of the convention. but 1t may be
permissible to state that Sir Francis
Hopwood made 1t clear to the New
York Times and Washington Star and
other correspondents whom he saw on
Friday that the procedure adopted was
practical and businesslike, and that the
adjournment until August was neces-
sary in order to prepare the ground
for discussion and collect material for
examination and comparison.
Sir Horace Plunkett fully shares the
same faith, and they carried with them
practically the unanimous vote OF the
convention. 1t is essential to mention
this in order to disprove statement
widely spread in Dublin and probably
actively advanced in America to the
effect that the calling of the Irish con-
vention is only device to gain time
until the end Of the war by the British
government and that the adjournment
of the convention was only an act In
that comedy.

Efforts by Irish Leaders.

At the time Of the rebellion parliament
was not sitting, and there was no oppor-
tunity Of making a formal protest, the
absence OF which Is construed by the Sim
tionalist party was in sympathy with the
executions. AS matter OF fact, the
Irish leaders made every possible effort to
stay the hand of military justice. Joseph
Deviin told me OF his own endeavors in
that direction
The only conclusion one can reach Is
that the refusal Of the government in
London to take action was another of the
many bungling mistakes made by Eng
lishmen of the best will in estimating
Irishmen and their affairs Ireland was
Mortified by the Easter rebellion Had the
punishment been left in Irish hands it
would have been administered.
There is much in this chapter of his
tory concerning which 1t is still too
early to go into detail. 1t is very sad
one from the Englshman's as well as
the 1rishman's point of view.
Dread of CONSUMPTION.
The dread Of CONSUMPTION is another
factor in the development of the Sim
Fem. Here again there has been bad
bungling In regard to Ireland. Several
good judges, both unionist and nation
alist, now believe that CONSUMPTION
might have been made acceptable to
Ireland. and that no attempt was ever
made to bring before the Irish people
the real character of the war which the
allies are waging.
At least three of the authorities I
have mentioned by name were of the
opinion that carefully considered
and tactful campaign in ireland after
the sinking OF the Lusitania probably
would have made CONSUMPTION, IL not
popular. at least acceptable to Ireland
On this point it is interesting to cite
n remark made:

land. This country contributed its

and Scotland did. but Their. comes

DUBLIN, July 31.-"Anything may
surprises"
This is an opinion frequently ex-
pressed in Dublin. and apparently 1t is
shared by representatives of all the
political factions. The prediction
leaves the door open both to a happy
conclusion of the Irish convention and
to another attempt at rebellion by the
Sim Fem, which could have no chance
of success, and probably would bring
about a regime Of drastic coercion.
In these last few days l have talked,
both for publication and confidentially,
with Irish leaders of all hues, and,
while the difficulties in the way of
settlement by the convention seem tre-
mendous, nobody outside of the ranks
of the Sim Fein leaders declares them
insuperable. Nationalist like John
Redmond. Joseph Devlin and Stephen
Gwynne; Ulstermen like Sir James
Campbell and Mr.. POWELL South Ire
land unionists like Lord Middleton and
Mr.. Jameson; more or less independent
observers like DR.. Mahaffy, provost of
Trinity, and Prof. Phillips, poets and
litterateurs like George Russell. known
throughout Ireland as "A l." and James
Stephens. and, last though not least,
both the chairman and the secretary of
the convention, Sir Horace Plunkett
| and Sir Francis Hopwood, together
with Chief Secretary Duke, all hope for
and, to a certain extent, confidently
count upon good results accruing from
the convention.

High Constructive Ability.

high, are believed to have solid
foundation in the fact that the

essariIy exhausted in all countries"
II can only touch on some Of the broad
er and more general aspects Of the Irish
situation in regard to the convention
They are. first and foremost. that the
unionists and the nationalists are now
closed together than ever before. They
are far from having reached an agree
ment. but. as Sir Horace Plunkett put 1t.
everybody sees the desirability Of reaching
some end which will be acceptable to all.
and to the good Of the country.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-07-31
May Fuse Other Elements.

The Sim Fem alone refuses it's beni-
sons Of the convention, regarding it as
thing of evil beyond the power of
exorcism. The William O'Brienites are
still out of the convention, but the in
vitation to them remains open. and it
is considered quite possible that later
developments will induce them to re-
consider their decision. The Sim Fein
is a common danger which may bring
about fusion Of other discordant ele-
ments.
1t is improbable. to say the least,
that the Ulster lion will lie down with
the nationalist lamb, or if another
metaphor be preferred. the nationalist
wolf with the Ulster sheep; but what
does really seem to be taking shape is
general desire to study seriously the
scheme of home rule based on Canadian,
Australian and South African models,
which would give Ireland provincial
assemblies. with a central senate rep
resenting all sections Of the country
and maintaining both national and i'm
perial cohesion.

BOYS LOCKED IN BOX CAR
Tramp Resented Youths Refusal to
Divide School Lunch and Took
Revenge on Them.

East st. Louis, nl.-TheOdore Jen-
nings, aged nine years, and his COM
panion, Carl Ferguson, aged seven,
were found nearly starved to death In
q box car here when car inspectors
heard their groans. The lads, both
of whom attended school in Rector,
Ark, declared they had been locked
in the car by a tramp who became
angry at them when they refused to
divide their school lunch. They were
without a bite to eat or drink during
the 60 hours of their Imprisonment
and were in semi-conscious condition
when found.
The boys, according to their story,
made no outcry after they were locked
in the car, believing that the tramp
would release them. When the train
began to move they screamed and be-
gan to pound on the door. They did
this until their strength gave out.
Whenever the train stopped, they re-
sumed their effort to secure liberty but
failed until the car had reached its
destination.

PRICES WILL BE ADVANCED
Eovernment Takes Steps 20 Do Away
With Labor Troubles Affecting
Materials for War.

An increase IN prices for war mate
Halls so that manufacturers may grant
wage increases is the policy of the ad-
ministratlon in settling strikes affect
ing the manufacture OF war supplies.
This follows the plan used by the la
Dor commission In dealing with the Ari-
Eona copper strikes.
The plan as explained By Secretary
of Labor Wilson is as follows:
"First, companies and men must ex-
ert their utmost efforts to secure the
highest possible efficiency In the pro-
auction of copper consistent with prop
er discipline and due regard for the
health and safety of the workmen.
Second, the companies will cOntin-
ne to recognize workmen'5 grievance
committees previously existing in the
district. Heretofore, however, there
was a feeling Of impotence as to these
committees, because the final say was
with the managers. There is, there
fore, added to the existing scheme rem
edying grievances an appeal to the
United States administrator, whose de-
cision is binding upon both sides.
"Third, unemployment is assured to

enation, except those guilty Of seditious

Or those who have membership in an

'In providing for unemployment
here, as in the Globe-Miami district,
the placing of striking workmen is to
be handled as a district problem, in
stead of as an indiyid, Il mine prob
lem. This feature was adopted be-
cause the growing Labor shortage
throughout the country requires the
full as well as the regulated use OF
all available man power.
''Fifth, the impartial and effective

the appointment Of the United States

GIVES BLOOD TO FATHER
Edith Cadets Devotion Saves Life Of
Parent Who Was Stricken With
Hemorrhage.

Marlboro, Mass.-The pluck and de-
votion of Miss Edith Cadell Of Low
ell, in suffering the TRANSMISSION of
pint Of blood from her body, made
successful an effort to save the life OF
her father, Robert Cadell.
The father was stricken with
hemorrhage while at his work and was
rushed to the hospital. The doctors
decided a TRANSMISSION of blood would
be the only means Of saving his life.
The operation was successful, as
the father rallied and is on the road
to recovery. The daughter, too, has
recovered, and a happy reunion will
soon take place.

Mrs. Levine told acQuaintances that
several millionaires' wives, In order to
