latest VIEWS OF
IRELAND As SEEN
BY AN AMERICAN
BY DeImar Radbourne,

| bellaSC, ireland, Jan. b, l9l7.
A lull in Irish agitation or sort
of numbness prevails at the opening
of the new year. What might be des-
cribed in America as period of
"Watchful waiting" No one knows
what to expect in the way of change
in government but all sides feel there
are secret understandings among the
leaders of the new War Ministry, soon
to be revealed, which will pave the
way for an Irish House of Commons
and an Irish Senate. The Colonial
Premiers assembled to meet in London
next month have agreed ir advance to
| recommend some form of settlement
| Of the Irish autonomy question. The
plans are based on the hopes of break
ing down Irish disloyalty. Important
concessions will be made to Ulster
even to the extent of giving Ulster
| disproportionate share ir the pro-
posed new government of Ireland, in
GLIDING guarantees for the provin-
cial safety Of Ulster by some form
of provincial legislature. The liberia
ton of the Irish rebels has not affront-
ed the Belfast Unionists as badly as
expected. The adjustment of martial
law will not stir up great opposition
here.
great change has come over this
corner of Ireland since the fear of los
ing the war has seized the minds of
the loyalists. The grossest informa-
ton as to the progress of the war
was furnished the people of Ireland.
The breakdown of the Asquith minis
try, the scarcity of food, the collapse
Of the Allies campaign in the far
east, the deadlock on the Somme, all
these disasters were finally seen and
the truth fell on the Tory elements
with crushing force. This feeling of
common danger impels them to accept
the lesser of two insecurities. They
prefer to face the rule of temporary
Irish government so that the fate of
the British Empire may be averted.
They have not changed their opinions,
it must be said. But they do finally
recognize the danger that confronts
them Of defeat in the war-of ruined
Ulster as we'll as a ruined England. If
a fair measure of self government is
granted Ireland may not sufficient
Irish soldiers in Ireland, Canada and
Australia be secured to change the
tide Of war and wrest victory from the
enemy? Will Russia drop out; what
then? How much will our position in
America be improved for, after all, the
United States is responsive to the feel
ing in Dublin rather than Belfast.
The agents of the new premier, the
powerful shipping men threatened with
the destruction Of Belfast shipping,
are working hand in hand to cult
vate this feeling and break down the
opposition of the professional Orange
politicians who have lived so long on
rancor.

PROTEST TO cARRANzA.

Secretary of State Lansing last
week sent to Carranza communities
tion in regard to certain provisions,
which it has been proposed to include
in the new Mexican constitution, and
pointed out that the enactment of the
same, may prove cause for diplomatic
entanglements with other countries
than the United States.
The Washington Post, commenting
editorially on this question. says:
"The purblind policy Of First Chief
Carranza is working effectually for the
further decentralization of Mexico. His
proposal to discriminate against for
eigners, to annul all property rights
of foreign persons and corporations
and to arrogate to himself the power
to expel any foreigner, without re-
course, is blow at Mexico. 1t is in
effect a reputation Of Mexico's obli-
cations to the outside world, and it
necessarily puts all nations on guard
against lending any aid to Mexico
while Carranza is at the head of at
fairs.
"Carranza's reforms do not specifi
cally repudiate the rights Of foreign
ers, but they would be just as effective
as if they did. He would require all
persons and corporations holding con-
cessions of lands to apply for new con-
cessions in order to protect the rights
already acquired. This would place
them all at his mercy, and if they were
not ready to do his bidding ior comply
with his demands, financial and other
wise, their property would be lost.
1T Was high time that the United
States should protest against the plan
to hold up all foreigners owning prop
erty in Mexico. Other nations, it is
observed, are also entering protests
against Carranza's high handed meth
DDS. He is earning the opposition Of
the very powers that would be dis
posed to aid him, and hence he Is
counting his own downfall as we'll as

Mexican PRIESTS
T0hAVE FAIR TRIAL
FOR THEIR Lives

Representations by the United
States government for fair trial for
Archbishop Jiminez of Guadalajara,
and Bishop de la Mora, of Zacatecas,
who were sentenced to death at Zaca-
tecas for treason, were successful.
The American embassy in Mexico City
was informed last week, that as a re-
suit they will not be tried under a law
which gives them no opportunity for
defense.
These two priests were we'll known
in the United States, and the State De-
partment's activity in the matter was
due to the insistent appeals from their
American friends in all sections Of the
country. The movement to have the
United States demand their release
originated in Albany, N. Y, and was
headed by Bishop Cusack, Bishop of
Albany, N. Y, who appealed to all the
New York delegation in Congress to
act in behalf Of these priests, whose
only crime was to insist that the de
facto government respect the rights
of the Catholic Church.
Just as soon as it became known at
Washington that these two churchmen
were sentenced to death, Carranza' s
representatives on the dissolved Next
can American joint commission were
appealed to by Secretary Lane, who
was chairman of the American nom
bers, at the instigation of the State
Department, to join in the effort to
save these two Mexican priests. The
Mexicans replied that they would COM
municate at once the wishes Of the
State Department and urge that fair
trial be given, and as a result their
efforts were successful.

HIGH MARK FOR WHlskEY.

The amount of whiskey consumed
by the American people in 1916, ap
parently was greater than in any pre-
vious year since 1909, according to
tax returns to the Treasury Depart
ment compiled last week, and the
amount of revenue collected by the
government on whislkey, beer and ciga
rettes during the year was the great.
est on record.
While returns show that the ten.
dency toward prohibition has not low
cred the governments revenue from
whiskey, officials believe portion of
the increase, nearly $24,000,000 more
than in 1915, is attributable to the fact
that the government is now collecting
taxes on all the whiskey produced,
whereas, because of frauds, such was
not the case few years ago.
Consumption of cigarettes in 1916
reached the highest mark ever record
ed. The tremendous increase, more
than 40 per cent over 1916, is attrlbut-
ed to two main causes. increased pros.
perity Of the country and growth Of
the cigarette habit among women.
Many millions of cigarettes made for
feminine users were produced in this
country and imported during the past
year, whereas a few years ago pro-
duction and importation of such ciga-
rettes were negligible by comparison.

POINTS LESSON FOR ENGLAND

POINTS TO LESSON FOR ENGLAND
John Dillon, nationalist member Of
parliament for East Mayo, in a state
ment to the Associated Press on Pres
ident Wilson's speech before the Sen.
ate-on "Peace," said:
unquestionably the most remarkable
and momentous uttered by the ruler of
great power for more than a hun
dred years. There cannot be the
slightest doubt in some definitions of
the principles laid down that he is
speaking for liberals and the friends
of humanity in every nation. No peace
can last, or ought to last, which does
not recognize and accept the principle
that governments derive all their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erred.
Coming at such crisis from the
President Of the United States, these
words will strike deep into the hearts
of all lovers Of liberty throughout the
world. The President quotes the case
of Poland. Sure the case of Ireland
is much stronger and more to the
point. Reaction in Russia is but fierce
pressure on the emperor to break his
pledge to Poland; reaction in Great
Britain has dominated the government,
so far as Ireland is concerned.
$50 long as ireland is held under
martial law and self-government is
denied the Irish nation, it will be diff
tlcult for Great Britain to obtain full
credit as the champion of small ma
tionalities and of the right to full Sc
curity and liberty of economic devel-
opment possessed by all peoples,

ADMIRAL BENSON TO FILL
DEWEY'S PLACE ON BOARD

Admiral William S. Benson has been
designated by the Secretary of the
Navy to succeed the late Admiral
Dewey, as President of the General
Board of the Navy, retaining also his
position as Chief of Naval Operations.
This position to which Admiral Ben
son has been assigned is one of the
most important under the government,
as the General Board decides all ques-
lions pertaining to the United States
navy-being often termed it's Supreme
Court.
The assignment of Admiral Benson
as head of the Board was regarded
throughout official circles as wise
selection, and the appointment was a
source of qualification, not only to the
employees Of the Navy Department,
with whom he is most popular, but to
his many friends throughout the Ma
tional Capital.
The Admiral is a fourth degree
Knight of Columbus, and takes a most
prominent part in the work Of the
order in Washington.
