NEW SCHEME FOR IRELAND

TT HE BRITISH government is credited with plan for the government of Ireland. The is not very definitely described but it be in the nature of home rule by counties with general to co-ord- nate the affairs of the local governments.
 This would be in spirit the State and Federal system, which prevails in America.
 Ireland containing something like 50O0O0O inhabitants, would make States Of State governments which might each send representatives Congress.
 What stands in the way? A habit of looking at things
 In America the people accustomed to think of o citizens setting up for themselves has happened for turtles, times.
 In ireland they have hardened into another sort Mostly there they think of but either under the direct rule of Britain, common government in which all the people rule.
 Yet the principle of states holding government with Congress holding limited powers, in America and elsewhere.

GAN ALLIES AND
 UNITED STATES HOLD WAR GAINS?

America and her Allies won the war but can they preserve what they won?
 Over in Europe Germany is feeling her way to see how much the allied powers will stand. She is attempt. ing to terrorize the Poles of Silesia, so that they will submit to vote for reunion with Germany. Her troops still remain III the Baltic provinces, which she seeks to dominate. She is making her plans to control Russia.
 In this couL try insidious prop gan da is heard everywhere to creaee hos tility against all the allies with whom the United States was recently asso- ciated.
 Many people keep insisting that Germany was treated too harshly in the peace treaty. In so far as those people are sincere they need to gc over and take a look at tn FerencF and EelSian devastated districts. Let them see thousands of fruit trees de-
 iberately sawed off by the Huns. Let them look at mines ruined for a dozen years by blowing up bombs in their galleries, and r. letting riIi- CTS into them.
 Let them go into the factories that were handicapped for years by steal- ing their machinery. Let them look at the dwellings of millions of peo- pie systematically leveIled to the ground. Let them see with their own eyes how those fiends incarnate tried to put France and Belgium out of business for & generation. Then let them so into Germany and see their comfortable and un- touched cities and their factories all ready to go in with a ten years start over the ruined industrial districts of France and Belgium. After they get through, ask them if Germany goi enough.
 The powers recently associated tc fight Germany must stand together to preserve the results of this war and must not permit any trifling Otherwise it will have to be fought 1 over again.

NfEXlC0'S ATTITUDE DURING
 WAR WAS PRO- GERMAN

Mexico was invited 70 attack the United States as an ally of Germany. The failure of Mexico to resent this invitation which if acceded to would have spelled inevitable ruin, was to say the least disquierrng. It was not surprising that in the first few months following our entry into the war the tension between the United States and Mexico became increasing ly acute. There were not lacking pes sfmists who predicted an open break between the two republics.
 Fortunately contrary influences were at work MT. Fletcher, the American ambassador, was untiring in hiss efforts to allay irritation and promote friendly feelings. At the same time he endeavored to inter pret to the MexicanS the motives of the United States in the great war. As was to be expected, G. rman pro- paganda overshot the mark and a re- action set in. The Mexican Govern ment on several occasions explained that its attitude was not dictated by any hostility toward the United
 States.
 Finally by the summer Of 1918
 public opinion began to Veer strongly
 away rom 60rnlany. 1He NISll dt
 this time of a delegation of promin- ent newspaper men to the United
 States resulted in a marked decline of Germanophile influence. The ma 1ority of the important newspapers of the capital now openly champion ed the cause of the allies. In fact. the most widely read member of the metropolitan press, Fl Universal, ed- ited by Senor F. F. Pallavicini, had from the first recognized the real is sues of the war and at all times did yeoman's service in behalf of the Entente and the United States. The approching collapse of the Central 1 Powers brought the activities of the German propagandists to a close; the German minister the notorious Von Eckhardt, left Mexico under cir | cumstances which point to pressure from the Mexican Government With l the signing of the armistice the last
 stronghold of German influence and intigue in the New World had crum- | bled..

GOLD STRIKE IN CANADA RIVALS
 KL0NDIKE FIND

Vancouver, B. G. Nov. 5---Stories of marvellous gold finds have come from the newly discovered gold fields in the Copper Lake Region, 65 miles north of Le Pas, Manitoba, and also at Contact Bay, about 200 miles east of Winnipeg. One man recently came into Le Pas, it is said. with canoe load of sacks filled with gold. He wanted the gold made into bricks.
 Stampeders are rushing to the new fields and Winnipeg stores are doing a rushing business quitting expedi- tiops.
 The story of the gold find itself sounds like an old Klond!ke tale. Ja- cob Cook, an Indian prospector, while on his way to his cabin on Copper Lake, tripped and fell over a rusty spur of quartz fingered by the fall he struck the spur with his pick and saw evidence of gold. Within a few minutes he opened up a streak four inches wide and several feet deep which assayers declare is almost pure gold.

At first sight the attitude of Mexi- co toward the great war and it's ls- sues seems something of an enigma. Had our southern neighbor taken counsel from the dictates of enltght- ened self interest she would have as- sociated herself with the Allies and the United States at least to the ex- tent of adopting a policy of benevo- lent neutrality. So 1t seems at least to the disinterested observer. She had just emerged triumphant from a rev. olution the avowed purpose of which was to destroy an autocratic and ty- rannicaI government. A declaration of sympathy towards the Allies and the United States would not only have been in harmony with her pro- fessed ideals but would have paved the way for an amicable settlement of certain embarrassing financial and economic problems. Had Mexico se- vered relations with Germany she could at once have enjoyed the prt- vileges and financial benefits from which neutrals were necessarily de- barred.
 But Mexico chose otherwise. From the first her Government elected to follow the course of neutrality. What part a latent but not less real suspi- cion of the United States played in l this decision is impossible to estt- mate The official explanation was to | the effect that the nation needed to conserve all its energies for recon l struction after over half decade of | revolution. With such a point of view, if loyalty adhered to, other na-
 tions could properly have no quarrel. 1 Unfortunately the Government of Mexico was responsible for certain acts and policies which could easily
 have been interpreted as intmical to l the Allies and to the United States. 1 A case in point was President Car
 ranza's proposal of February Il, 1917 With the ostensthle purpose of has, ! tening the advent of peace, he sug- i gested that an embargo be placed by | neutral nations on all supplies being sent to the belligerents. It Is ob- vious that the adoption of such a | policy would have been disastrous to the Allies. AS Is well known the refusal of the United States as well
 as the chief Latin American powers | to lend countenance to this project l caused Its abandonment

MOTOR TRUCKS
 TO COOPERATE
 WITH RAILWAYS

The use of motor trucks as feeders to the railroads up to a distance Of hundred miles will release their facilities for the increasing tonnage that requires long distance haulage. In a few years the truck will be the standard method of hauling short distances. By acting as a feeder with in a radius of terminals, it will pro- vide the railroads with an increas- ed tonnage and assist in making complete delivery, since 1t will pene- trate areas that are now without transportation facilities.
 The Big Four freight houses in Cincinnati have set the example. Two motor truck chassis and about ten bodies were used with tremendous success in relieving the railroads of a large tonnage of short haul traffic. Branch stations received the bodies which were filled and loaded on the chassis On fixed schedule, they were brought to the terminals and their contents transferred to through cars.
 The time will come when each and every motor truck that operates within a fifty-mile radius of large cities will be in effect a branch line of that railroad.
