have refused money, no matter how it was offered,

"America Has Won For ENGLAND the
He9emony of the Entire World"

The treaty of peace makes England
mistress of the world.
The United States has the spiritual
satisfaction of having won the great
est war in history after it had been
lost by the Allies; but England has
the material advantage of immense
increase in territory, of the complete
control of the seas, and of very much
enlarged relative position Of power
and Importance among the nations of
the world.
After all, everything is RELATIVE.
If we should stand still and another
nation should advance, our RELA-
TIVE position would be less than it
formerly had been.
And England's iElmense gains in
this war which we have won for her
makes her position relatively far
ahead of what she formerly had, not
only toward us but toward all the ma
tions of the world.
In addition to this actual increase
in power and territory, and in addi-
ton to this very marked relative ad-
vance, as compared with other nations
which are not advanced at all or which
have advanced less, England has Sc
cured the very distinct advantage of
having eliminated by this war two of
her three great rivals.
Before the war began the only real
rivals of England were Germany, Rus
sia and the United States.
The United States was an industrial
tions or to the possessions England
already holds in subsection.
Russia has lost large part of her
own possessions, which have been di-
vided up into small, incompetent
states of no international Importance
as long ais they remain disunited; and
it is the policy of England to see that
these states do remain disunited.
The independence of these states is
not so much a matter of self-determi
nation as it. is of the diplomatic deter
mination and political policy of Eng
land.
Germany is similarly subdivided
and every effort will be made to keer
it So,
And thus will the two immediate
rivals of England be put practically
out of existence as effective forces in
the field of industrial and commercial
endeavor as we'll as military impor
tance.
There remains as rival of Eng
land, therefore, merely the United
States of America.
And while England has acquired b!
this war enormous advantages of ter
ritorial, commercial and political char
acter, the United States stands where
it did before the war, except for th'
sacrifice of blood and treasure that
has made ,and the serious financia
burdens which it has incurred.
The RELATIVE advantage of posi-
tion, therefore, is immensely in favo
of the British Empire.
We are not in the least exaggerat
ing when we state that America ha
won for England the hegemony of th'
world and has advanced England rela
lively far beyond the position Englan'
occupied as compared with our owl
country.
It is to be hoped that England real
izes this and is properly appreciativ
of it, but it is to be doubted If an,
nation is ever permanently apprec
ative of sacrifices made for it by an

WILL IRELAND BE A MEMBER OF LEAGUE
OF NATIONS?

Is Ireland precluded from the possibility of enter
ing the League of Nations the covenant is adopted
as it stands? In this connection interesting
point has been raised by the French authorities.
Article Ten of the covenant has been amended, if
correctly interpreted to open the door of such a
procedure. This view is sustained by reason Of
the existence of the present home rule act, which
stands duly enacted British statute. 1t was
passed in 1914 but its operation suspended os-
tensibly or actually because of conditions.
Prma facie, it purports to give self government to
Ireland thus fixing the status Of that country in
theory at least as nation distinct from Great Brit
ain. If such is her status, she would come neces-
sarly within the scope of the Peace Conference and
would be in similar position to that of Canada or
Australia That home rule was not actually put
into force would not alter the principle involved,
Britain would be estopped' by her own act from
denying the status Of Ireland recognized therein
So at the feel of the hunt" it may be that Erin will
take seat as one of the constituent members OF
the international assembly.
This view of the matter accords with the uni
versal principles of jurisprudence as we'll as with
the natural justice of the situation. AS member
of the League of Nations Ireland would thus at
least have an opportunity to have her grievances
|adjudcated in the world tribunal.

The effect of Article X of the League of Nations
Covenant has been neatly described attempt
to stereotype the status quo" When the "status
qto in Ireland is considered this alone ought to be
sufficient argument for the rejection of the article
Unless the proponents of the League are able to
demonstrate that the millennium will come mmed-

will destroy the whole chain. There should be no

PHONE STRIKE ENDS
WITH WAGE INCREASE
Majority Return to Work, While
Others Hold Out for Larger
Concessions

Boston. April 81. BY \. PO-
Telephone service here and in other
places affected by the strike of oper-
ators and electrical workers of the New
England Telephone and Telegraph and
Providence Telephone Companies was
resumed in part early today. Where
ever available on short notice, many
day operators began their duties at the
regular hours at or S a. M. having
been notified of the settlement of the
strike which started last vuesday.
Agreement was reached last night after
an eight hour conference between Of
ticials of the telephone company and
the strike committees.
Although the operators and allied
workers did not receive the full amount
Of their demands. many of them ap-
peared pleased with the results an
nounced, especially the winning of the
right of collective bargaining with the
company's management. Others cX-
pressed dissatisfaction and said they
would not return to work until they
had considered the situation carefully
in mass meeting.
by the undefstandlhg reached last
night operators in Boston would re-
ceive $40 week instead of .Sl6 after
seven years of service and the minimum
wage would be SO instead of SIS. They
demanded So as maximum at the end
of four years. The new scale will be
retroactive to January /.
1t was estimated unofficially that the
! increases granted the operators would
cost the companies more than $500, ,00C
yearly. with more than 81 200, 900 ad,
ditional for allied electrical workers.

Lieutenant Kane is only twenty two
years old. He enlisted in March. 1917,
in the First City Troop and was sent
to Camp Hancock two months later.
There he was transferred to Company
G, 10th Infantry. He saw action at

manding officers of the company and
Lieutenants Thomas Massey and
| Thomas B. Fales, both of Philadelphia
the latter the nephew Of John Wana
maker, were killed, took command OF
the company.
He was wounded in the leg. but re-
fused to quit. After failing to ex-
tract the bullet himself he had his first
sergeant bind up the wound and led
his men into action again.
Heavy shell fire had no terrors for
him at Fismette. He was wounded sew
eral times. One big shell burst near
him and splinters of it wounded hin.
about the arms and shoulders. A mo-
ment later another struck nearby and
wounded him about both legs. His
right leg was broken at the knee and
his left leg was fractured. While down
he was wounded in the back five times
by machine gun bullets.
He was in the st. Parize Hospital
Mt Nevers when notified that he hat
