FORMER UNIONIST CRITICISES
 ENGLAND ON IRISH QUESTION

prison without trial. Lloyd George was, however, absent in Paris and in his absence the Cabinet hesitated to take such a step. It is believed that the chief factor in this reluctance was the attitude of the Home Secre- tary, MT. Shortt, who had formerly been Secretary for Ireland and was thought to be on bad terms with Lord French. In any case, how ever, when Lloyd Georges driving force Is removed, the British Cabin ct is so inert that it probably would have failed to reach decision. At the beginning of February Lloyd George returned, and Lord French hurried over from Dublin to see him, only to fall seriously i'll with bI'on- chitis as soon as he reached Lon don.
 Stoppage of Hunting.
 Meanwhile the agitation in Ire land had increased. and 1t was de- cided by Sim Fein to stop fox-hunt- ing until the prisoners were released. Though many farmers opposed this step, riots took place at several meets and many masters of hounds gave up the sport and removed te England. Anxiety for the health of the prison CTS added fuel to the flames, for the influenza epidemic was raging in England and the prisons were not immune from it's attacks. Sim F'ein had good cry and made the most of it.
 At last Lord French recovered his health sufficiently to place the case before Lloyd George. On the one hand the Premier's Irish advisers urged release mainly on the ground that with the bulk of the more re- sponsible Sim Fein in prison or fug- ttives, the party was being thrown in to the hands of the advocates of vio- lence; on the other hand English Ministers appear to nave suggested that 1enfency to Irish political of lenders would weaken the hands of the Government in dealing with Lab or unrest in England. On such points Lloyd George is a good judge; he rightly considered it of enormous importance to allay the unrest in Ireland, and on March 9th 1t was announced that the Sim Fein pris- oners would be released uncondition- ally,
 If this was intended as a conces- sion it may have come too late. What would in January have been regard ed as an act of magnanimity be- came in March a surrender to agita- ton,
 Unfortunately, too, almost at the hour when release was decided on one of the most popular of the Sinn Fetners, Pierce MacCann, M. P. for T4pperary, died of influenza in pHS- on. He was a sportsman and ath- lete of lovable character, who had won q gold medal for saving life from drowning, and tho grief caus- ed by his death will outweigh the pleasure due to the release of his colleagues It may be feared that once again the words, '-Too Late" will have to be recorded as the yer 1 dict on an act of justice to Ireland.

PROTECT USE
 OF U. s. FLAG

Washington. April 16.-Ena ctment of 8 Federal law to prevent general misuse and desecration of the Ameri- can flag was advocated in a. report yesterday to the 2sth Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolu- don7 in session at Centennial Hall here.
 Mrs James P. Hume, state regent of Wisconsin, chairman of the flag committee, reported that the evil had increased very greatly since the arm istice and that while it was due largely to ignorance, state laws were al statement was needed to assure proper regard for the national em- blem by all classes
 The most frequent misuse of the Tag, Mrs Hume declared, was by theatres, magazines, and in cartoons and posters In the latter days of the war and particularly since the armis- uce and with the returning home ot troops, the house, she said, had used the flag for costumes and decorations in such way as to arouse the resent ment of patriotic organizations
 A campaign of education in the schools and publicity were urged and all the Daughters were asked to CO., operate in the efforts to enlighten the offending elements
 A resolution endorsing the League of Nations was presented It wen, to the committee without comment on the floor.

Every worker for the Victory Lib

thankfulness, do his part toward this

Rev. DR.. David M. Shilling, pastor
Of the Webster Groves Presbyterian
Church, says he will use the force OF
his pulpit and church publication to
win support Of the loan.
The work of destruction is over and
the work Of construction Is just ahead,

SUCCESSFUL
 BAZAAR HELD AT ST. STEPHENS
Fine Program Enjoyed By Several Hundred
 People.

Several hundred people attended by St. Stephens R. c. church on the church grounds at Spruce and Bost- wick avenue last evening.
 The affair began about o'clock and continued until II. During that time articles were sold at the booths and many things were auctioned off. An exceptional and varied program was offered. The first number was a. song and dance entitled ":Fond Mothers" by the small children of the parish ranging in ages from four. to six years. The costumes were white dresses and pink hats. EEch little girl carried a doll to which she sang. The work of training the tots is due to the untiring efforts of Sister Francis of the Order of Divine Char tty. This number was encored sev- eral times.
 A Japanese dance by the older girls was the next feature. Japanese Xii monas vart-colored flowers in the hair, white fans and paper parasols made the number very attractive. This dance was directed by the Mother Superior of the Convent, music by MISS Jennle SanQOr, MISS Madelyn Farley gave vocal selections.
 Another interesting feature was 2 little fellows, who gave an imitation of Italian bootblacks. They were very well received.
 The last number was an original Hungarian peasant dance. The dancers were girls of the parish who showed exceptional talent. Mrs. Irene Ptntcxky directed the dance. Mrs Pinicxky's father. Louis Herly, a well known Hungarian musician, composed special music for the per formance. Elaborate peasant cos tunes were worn by the girls.
 The usual fancy and useful articles were sold and auctioned off. The bag was very popular.
 Much of the success of the affair is due to Father Chernitzky, John Feher, organist of St. Stephens church, also musical director of the different features, and the Sisters of Divine Charity who worked very hard.

A sEAsONABLE AND
 NOVEL SALAD

An original salad for the .urnmer season Is based on nutmeg and canta- loupe melons being halved and placed Tn the Ice chest and thoroughly chill eu. Just previous to placing the salad together, pick from the garden some of the medium sized leaves of nasturitium and some of the light pink, yellow, and deep red flowers of the same. Now. upon the individual dishes in which the salad Is to be served prettily arrange the leaves and flowers, leaving a space in the middle in which to put the filled melons From the inside of the melon halves scoop out with g. spoon some of the fruit pu'r, cut 1t up in pieces. and re- place in the melon halves. This Is done to make the cavities little larger, and when finished. cut up in small pieces ripe peaches and the fresh fruit of the apricots, so that the melon pulp will be below and the peach and apricot portion above. Over all dust shredded nut meats, while here and there pile top either whipped cream, which has been col ored with red vegetable matter to give it a deep red, or marshmallow cream undergoing the same process.
 When the whole salad is completed and placed before your guests you will certainly have a pretty dish, a seasonable salad since 1t has the bright, vivid colofs of the season be- low at the foot on the dainty china dishes the green of the nasturtium with the light yellow, the delicate pink, and the red flowers, above the green or yellowish melon moulds top ped with the light pink of the peach, the yellow of the apricots. and capped oP hn yni ad cream or marshmallow. And it will taste good, too, with the blending of the fruits to give a dish something out of the ordinary.
