of the misguided Irishmen in this country
who still profess Sim Feinism and are will

Ireland and in this country. 1t is also hoped
that the torpedoing of the two Waterford
steamers will open the eyes of the Sim Fein

expedition, when arms. ammunition and men
were dispatched to ireland to assist in the
Irlsh rebellion of 1916, was not initiated by
Germany with any hope of the Sein Feiners

merely to cause trouble and disturbance in

The few leaders Of Sim Feinsm in Ireland

Germany's S Bolsheviki

To-day shall be strikeless Monday in
Germany. The imperial government
wills it. Those who refuse to return to
work will be subject to court martial,
which is intended to mean that they may
be sentenced summarily to death.
England is holding her breath.
"Fcbruary will be fateful day in the
worlds history" cables The Tribune's
London correspondent. The trial of
strength between the German people and
the hateful junker class has come and
places in front of the firing squad await
those whose feet move not swiftly toward
the muniton factories
So, having spilled the blood Of the
whole world in vain, arc the Germans in
their despair now about to drown them
selves in their own?
Though we prefer it, let us not insist
upon receiving a theatrical answer.
Every country has its Bolsheviki, becorl-
ing more and more articulate; and no
country will destroy it's Bolsheviki, not
even Germany, for the simple reason that
it isn't feasible.
1t is wise country that understands
it's own Bolsheviki No people can under
stand the Bolsheviki of another
If one were a proper German in Ger
many one could write big headlines on
the English and French and American
BoIsheviki 1t would not be necessary to
misstate the facts. One would need only
to select and emphasize them. We have
no doubt that Germans make as much Of
the labor problem in England and the
pacitist propaganda in the United States
as we make of this strike in Germany
and the arrest of Socialist radicals like
Dittmann.
Nevertheless, of all the volatile stuff
in the world suppressed Bolshevikism
is the most dynamic and unexpected. 1t
does not know itself what it will do.
That is why the situation in Germany is
SO fascinating-not by reason of what is
probable, but because of what is i'm
probable.

Falls short Of the rate Of production to
this day. That, at least, is the conclusion
drawn by those who have studied the best
information available at present, and 1t
follows that the Germans still have the
upper hand, for under current conditions
it is impossible to replace the tonnage sunk
Accordingly, it is quite conceivable that
an offensive greater than any we have yet
seen may shortly be launched, and that it
will be centred chiefly on the Atlantic
routes is a possibility for which we must
be prepared.

Serbians. After the Balkan war Ser bia was again foiled by Austrian dip- lo1nacy, which compelled Serbia to give up part of her eonquests and to remain "a landlocked nation.
 Since Serbia became an independent principaTlity in 1929, two families have struggled for supremacy. Karageorge- witch and Milosh Obrenovitch, both peasants, were the leaders in the wars for freedom a century ago, and the latter was chosen as the first prince. He abdicated in 1889, and was suc- ceeded by his son, Michael II. The lat ter's brother, Michael TIL, reigned two years, when Alexander, of the Kara georgevitcgh family, attained the throne. He was deposed Tn 1858, and the Obrenovitch dynasty again came into power. Mlosh. Michael TIL. and Milan ruled in turn, and the latter became first King of Serbia in 1882. He was 8 dissolute and worthless rul- CT, and abdicated in 1889. His son, Alexander l., was a cruel and immor- al tyrant, and he and his queen, Dra- ga, were assassinated in 1903. The KarageorgeVitch dynasty was then re- called, in the person of King Peter, who now shares the exile of the ma jority of his icountrymen.

PHONE OPERATORS
 WON'T ARBITRATE

Boston, March Representative of the New England Telephone & Tele- graph Co. and of the operators union, which has called strike for Friday in 19 cities outside of Boston to en- force wage demands, appeared before the state board of condliation and ar bitration at public hearing today to give the speciAs causes of the con- troveRSy.
 It was brought out that the com paIry was ready to submit all ques- tions in dispute to arbitration, but that the employees had declined on the ground that one of the main princi- pies at issue was the classification of employees. Inc operators contended that employees in all exchanges who did the same work should receive the same pay, rather than to have the ex- changes classified according to the amount of business and wage scales arranged accordingly.
 The New England Telephone & Telegram Co. issued statement to- day fatly denying the assertion o1
 union leaders that the company had
 sent operators from Hartford, Conn. | to Worcester and had arranged tt The company declared there was ab-

OF
 DIFFERENCES AT > ORDNANCE PLANT

An agreement was reached yester< day afternoon between the Machintst union and the Liberty Ordnance com- pany relative to the differences which arose a few weeks ago when about 60 men walked out at the Liberty plant. The adjustment was made through the medium of a government concih- ator.
 The outstanding terms of the agree ment, it is said are that the men will receive time and a half for overtime over eight hours and double time for Sundays. It is further stated that by the new arrangement when a man iG discharged he will be informed what he is discharged for.
 The man who was discharged at the time other machinists in the plant walked out has not returned to work and according to Samuel Lavit, busi- ness manager of the Machinists un- ion, the man does not want to return to his place at the Liberty plant So no requisition was made for his re- instatement in the barley between the men and the company.

ARGUE ON NEW
 TRIAL PLEA OF
 GILLICAN WOMAN

Hartford, March 6 - In this, the day of expiration of the original re- prieve, argument was made for Mrs. Amy E. Archer-Gilligan in the Su- preme Court of Errors for a new trial on the charge of murder. The woman was to have been hanged on Nov. 6, but Cove. Holcomb gave a reprieve until March that her ap- peal might be perfected and argu- ment made before the Supreme Court. By coincidence, due in part to the lengthy arguments in other cases yes- terday, the Gilligan case was taken up today. Mrs. Gilligan's reprieve- is until June.
 Joseph H. Peck, named by the court to present the condemned wom- ans side of the appeal, devoted at- tention to the claim that the court erred in admitting certain testimony and that the court erred in his charge to the jury. State Attorney Hugh M Alcorn made the states argument against a new trial being granted.
 Benedict M. Holden, who was the woman's attorney and who gave ur the case in its appeal stage on the ground that money with which tc contest had been exhausted, was fl the court room. Mary Archer. { | daughter, also was present Mrs Gilligan is in the state prison.

LITTLE SERBIAN
 KINGDOMS VERY
 STORMY CAREER

Today marks the thirty sixth ami versary of the proclamation by which Serbia was elevated to the rank of 9 Kingdom. Unfortunately there will be no festivities to mark the occasron to- day, except perhaps among those Serbs who, exiled, are looking forward to the day when their land will be freed from the invader and restored to its rightful owners.
 In the fourteenth century Serbia was a kingdom embracing a large part of the Balkan territory, but in 1889 the country fell under the yoke of Turkey. After centuries of strug- giing, Serbia became a Iprincipality under the suzerainty of Turkey, and in >1S7S became completely free. On March 6, 1882, the reigning prince, Milan w., proclaimed himself king.
 Serbia's career as a kingdom has been stormy one, and the quarrel with Austria which precipitated the greatest war in history had it's origin in the period when Serbia was fight ing for freedom. In the revolt of 1876 when Turkey was weakened by its war with Russia. the Serbs. aided by h1ASluCl OA bNOolA4e1 anu 14C4AC- govina, the very flower of the Serb race, were completely successful. It was the ambition of the Serbs to join in one state Bosnia, Herzegovina and Serbia proper, but in this project they were foiled by Austria. For two cen turies Austria had been fighting it's way toward the south, and the Aegean sea, and the Vienna government was bitterly opposed to the formation of any powerful nation to bar it's pro- gress. So it came about that while Serbia became independent, Bosnia and Herzegovina were left noninally under Turkish rule, but, for all prac- tical purposes, in the clutch of Aus tria- Hating the Austrians quite as cordially as the Turks the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina rcGe in in surrection, and, with the sympathy and assistance of the Serbians, were able to carry on a war for over four years. By retaining Bosnia and Herze- goyina and the Dalmatian coast Aus tria defeated the Serbian ambition for powerful state and a seaport which vas an economic necessity for the
