Orland maintained firmly the lands and
conditions assigned to Italy by the

Applauding the success of the Yer

gnor Orlando deplored the dissipation of
effort in former time. when the entente
had such numerical superiority over
the enemy. thus admitting what to
American critics has always seemed
most evident. The minister paid trib-
ute to the entente nations which are
fulfilling Italy's need for grain. Pre-
mier Orlando also said that the new
war loan which is being offered had
already brought in 3.500.O00,000 lire
($7O0, ,000. .0O0). with two weeks still to
run, proving how strong were the

DUBLIN, February 12.-Now that the
Aome rule question is reaching an IS
sue, the position of Ulster once more
comes into prominence as the real crux
Of the problem. With Ulster willing TO
be included in a home rule pariiameht'
the trouble could be settled in twenty
Your hours. With Ulster unreconcIled
and uncompromising, every sort OF dlf-
ficulty arises. England is now not only
willing but anxious to grant home rule
to Ireland, and criticism which repre-
sents her as, denying to Ireland that
which she fights for in the case of
other small states has 10 real point
As Capt Wynne, NJ. p, one of the lead
ing members of the Irish party. plainly
puts it, 1T is not England which de-
mics home rule to Ireland; 1t is Ulster.
For Ulster will not come in. and the
rest of the country will not agree to a
disunited Ireland.
Popular Irish control of Dublin Cas-
lie and legislative and executive power
over twenty-six or twenty-eisht coun
ties of Ireland could be obtained with
cut delay. But the nationalist sentl-
nent of ireland generally will not con-
sent to part with the northeast corner,
and no terms of concession or compro-
mise are likely to succeed in weaken
ing the resistance of that corner to a
trial of any form of home rule. The
result, so far, of the convention is a
mere deadlock. which means the mann
tenance of the status quo and the con-
tinuance by England of control of Irish
local affairs, which she now would very
gladly abandon. This suits the north
east corner perfectly well.

AT AN AMERICAN AIR CENTER IN
FRANCE, February 16-"At an air
center in embryo" might be better
date line for this dispatch, for, al
though much has been accomplished, the
preparation of the great camp, which
eventually will be a populous city. is
SO extensive that the construction or
ders will not be completed until the
end of the year. Then there will be
scope for enlargement next year.
The utilization of the center to get
American made aeroplanes ready for
war service will not, however, be de-
layed until the completion of the main
part of the work. This is progressing
with almost startling rapidity under
the supervision of one of the most ex-
perienced of contracting engineers.
Now an Army Officer.
This man, who is now an Army Of
fcer. is responsible for the creation of
the largest existing American air CEN
ter in France. do not say that it has
already begun to be employed in the
great part which it is intended to play
in the American air program.
1t is necessary to write somewhat t
vaguely. although 1 am permitted to
say that the camp is sufficiently far
from the firing line to be comparative
ly safe from enemy bombardment by
air. 1t is part of a big plan involving
material and operation which. if a lit
tie tardy, promises recompense for the
delay by obviating costly mistakes,
such, for example, as the construction
in America of large numbers of COM
plete aeroplanes. which probably would
prove to be largely behind the times if
not obsolete by the time they were in
actual service.

time and natural development eventually
will give them what they demand. Ac-
cording to NJ. Benes, Austria must re-

not the monarchy would Immediately

AMSTERDAM, Holland, February 16.
-Germany's political atmosphere has
been completely altered by the pub
lication of the results of the allied con-
ference at Versailles. Pan-German
enthusiasts and Tirpitzian cranks try
to stir up public feeling for a final
and decisive effort" but the public
does not care. 1t was not surprised
by the ententes firmness. whereas those
in political circles affected to believe
that Versailles would show a yielding
and conciliatory spirit. 1t is not the
first time that the German masses have
exhibited more political insight than
the German government. which nat
urally does not mean much.
One of the consequences of the YER
sailles war council is the waning of
Chancellor Won Hertling's personal
lar. but there was a sort of general
consent about his supposed mastery OF
foreign politics and his ability to get
Germany out of the present muddle.
The ''old fox" as he used to be called,
is now referred to as the "old ass"
Resentment to Speech.
There is resentment on account of his
hypocritical reichstag speeQ3. which is
held to be responsible for the allies
new and formidable expression of de-
termination. His refusal to discuss
the strike with German labor has also
caused him to become unpopular with
the socialist masses. The vorwaerts
attacks him as bitterly as is permis-
sible under the strict conditions of
martial law: Count Won Hertling,
writes Theodor Wolff, has a soft spot
1or the bolshevik revolutionaries.
He evidently likes them better than
our own German socialists, for he is
always ready to negotiate with the
former. while he refuses to have any
thing to do with matter
For this expression. which did not
please the chancellor, the Berliner
Iageblatt was suppressed two days.
Many believe that Hertling will not
remain chancellor much longer. as he
has proved unequal to the task Of in
duclng the allies to make peace. They
hold that he has been the tool of Hin
denburg and Ludendorff. They say he
has been too weak regarding the mil
itary. too undiplomatic regarding la
Dor and too hypocritical regarding the

Truly enough this might happen

the advent of new dynasty or even
the establishment of Rumanian re-
