BREACH NOT HEALED
Irish Factions May Continue to Make
Home Rule Impossible.

London, Jan. 16.-Several of the
morning newspapers refer to the ex-
pected conclusion of the Irish conven-
ton this week. Among the reports is
one that today'S session, perhaps, will
be the fateful meeting which is to de-
eide whether the convention has been
a success or failure.
A Dublin dispatch to the Times says
that matters have taken a disappoint-
ing turn which the newspaper inter-
prets as meaning that the prospect of
an agreement is more remote.
The Daily Chronicle says:
THE convention is now up against
the most formidable obstacle. If this
can be negotiated successfully all will
be we'll. The Ulster unionists have it
in their power to bring the labors of
the convention to fruition or to make
them end in failure
- Use Irish Policemen at Home.
A dispatch to the Daily News from
Dublin says that comment upon the
outlook there is d curious blend of
pessimism and optimism-pessimis
as to the immediate and optimism as
to the ultimate issue. The writer re-
fers to a drawing together of the Ma
tionalists and southern Unionists,
leaving the Belfast Unionists in great
err isolation than before.
An interesting political side light,
the correspondent adds, is cast by the
news that the royal Irish constabulary
and the Dublin metropolitan police
will be amalgamated as part of a gen.
eral scheme of reconstruction of the
Irish government, which is expected
to come under consideration shortly.
Belfast is now policed by the royal
Irish cpnStabulary and it is understood
that the amalgamation would involve
the disappearance of the old names
which have unfortunate associations
and that the new body will be called

TO MEET SOLDIERS
Visitors at Manhattan and junction
City Should Make Appointments.

Manhattan. Kan, Jan 16-Not a
day passes but what relatives or
friends of soldiers come to Manhattan
or Junction City expecting to meet
men who are at Camp Funston, but
without any clear understanding eX-
cept that they will meet them right
in town." or ''at the depot" or "at the
hotel
Now. these are good sized towns,
there are several trains a day (most
of them late), several depots. and any
number of places classed as hotels
The result is that people often spend
many precious hours, together with
much worry and some strong lam
guage, chasing each other around
town and back and forth between the
camp and one or the other of these
two towns when a little forethought
would prevent all this.
Both towns have community
houses which are sometimes known
as soldiers recreation halls. These
are both centrally located and easily
found. They are the natural meeting
place for soldiers and their friends,
and if strangers coming to town in
search of soldiers would go there at
once and make inquiry it would in
many cases simplify matters. Mes
sages can be sent here for men in case
of emergency, a1tho the proper place
to address mail and ordinary CORE
spondence is to the regular camp adj
dress given by the men.
Both these places have ladies' par
lors, list of clean rooms, a free tele-
phone, map of the city, church and
lodge information, plenty of station
cry ami a place to write letters.
They are both operated directly by

sKuehlmann to the Russian demand
that a special commission formulate
a plan of referendum by which peo-
pie of conquered territory might
work out their own future. The ad-
journment of the peace meetings came
after a rather heated discussion of the
policy of Russian propaganda in Ger
many.
Hoffman Renews Protest.
The Russian delegates reported that
General Hoffman injected into the
proceedings again on Saturday his en-
gandar working men ranks violated
the spirit of the Hsusso-German armis-
tice and its purpose to achieve lasting
peace" because sit aimed II carry on
a revolution and a civil war in Ger
many"
Replying. Russian Foreign Minister
Trotzky pointed out that German
newspapers with their propaganda
were freely granted entry into Russia
He outlined that some of these urged
that the car be returned to Petrograd
while the Bolsheviki should take his
place in exile"
II do not represent any govern
ment,'' Hoffman was quoted as declar-
ing in reply. II represent the Ger
man army. 1 won't discuss policies of
the press"
81 am sorry for my inability to
understand General = posi-
ton" Trotzky was quoted as replying.
1T is only to be explained in the diff
ference of our viewpoints as to the
conditions of the armistice. In our
belief it cannot limit the expression of
opinions of the Russian republic or its
government"
Suddenly Adjourns Session.
At this junctufe German Foreign
Minister Kuehlmann INTERCEPTED that
.'lninterference in the affairs of Rus
STA was the basic principle of Ger
many's position, but this was con-
tinuable only provided the arrange
ment was mutual"
'Inasmuch as our government is
deeply internationalistic. we would
consider it a great step forward. y
Trotsky asserted. IF the Germans
would consider it possible openly to
discuss their opinion regarding the
situation in Russia"
The discussion, the Russian dele
gates said, was halted at this point by
Count Czernin's announcement that
the order of business was terminated
and the conference adjourned.
This was on Saturday Previous to
this particular discussion, the con-
ferees wrangled for some length on
the question of self determination of
peoples and of the necessity for Ger
man withdrawal from territories now
occupied by her.
EOrelSn Minister huehImdnn- at
tempted to hurry up discussion of
economics and trade between Russia
and Germany Trotsky held out
against such course, on the ground
that such discussion was premature
as long as the conferees were sharply
divided on the chief points at issue.
He declared these barriers were Po-
land, Lithuania and Courland and
German occupation of those terri
tories.
Kuehlmann replied that Germany
desired not to lose time"
Il am certain that peace will be
concluded,' he added.
kuehlmann acquiesced in the Rus
sian demand that a special commits
sion formulate a plan of referendum
by which conquered territory might
work out its self-determination. He
permitted addition of Armenia to this
list of territories, declaring this will
not be any serious obstacle"

was arrested Sunday by the Bolshe-
wiki government, will be released to-
night. This decision, NJ. Zalkind, as
sistant to Foreign Minister Trotzky,

personal guard of soldiers, workmen
and sailors They were escorted to
the premiers private room, Ambas-
sador Francis in the lead. Lenine
spoke to the diplomats in French. The
conference lasted forty minutes and
was carried on behind closed doors.
The diplomats left the Smolny insti-
tute under the impression that hoth-
ing definite had been accomplished.
Premier Lenine is said to have ex-
planned to the diplomatic corps that
he realized the Imprisonment of Dia-
Inandi was a breach of the interna-
tional law but declared it was de-
signed as a protest against a similar
breach on the part of Rumania in
arresting and disaFming Bolsheviki
troops. Lenine told the diplomats
that he himself could not order the
release of the Rumanian minister, but
would have to refer the question to
the council of peoples commissaries.
