ALL IRISH FACTIONS
FEAR BRITISH TRAP
Orange, Nationalist, and Sim
Fein Alike Suspicious of
Mnistry's Efforts.

LONDON, Oct. 12.-Although the
ministry's new effort to settle the
Irish question hardly has been begun,
attacks already are being made on the
program.
A Belfast Orange newspaper says
the governments proposed offer Of
an olive branch to Ulster will be un-
availing. while a Dublin dispatch to
the Daily Mail says that Sim Fein
preserves its rigid indifference, while
elsewhere there is little confidence
that any government proposal can
deal adequately with Irish affairs.
The Nationalists point to the recall
and suspension Of the home rule act
and ask how they can be expected to
have any confidence after such eT-
| perience. According to the Mail they
| inquire why no Irish leader. or politi-
clan, conspicuously friendly to Ire
land is on the committee appointed
| to draft the new bill
eeHidden Hand OF COeFelOn.7
Lord French is regarded as a mill
Itary figure. The lord. chancellor is
recalled as "Galloper Smith" in the
Ulster campaign, and longa was re-
garded as the hidden hand Of coercion
from Dublin Castle. Edward Shortt
/ is indicated as the habitual pro-
claimer Of convenient and improved
German plots"
This feeling emphasizes the neces-
/ sity Of real statesmanliSe and gem
erpus proposition. Another fasco
would be deploTabIe business; Il would
be better to do nothing" says the
Mafps Dublin commeutatdr
From Nationalist sourc4s IN Dublin
comes the suggestion that the new
scheme is merely to throw some
proposition into Parliament that will
be rejected, thereby permitting the
government 70 escape by saying Il
had done all that was possible, but
that It was baked BY the peoples rep
resentatives.
This view suggests that Parliament
Is the ''puppet" Of the government IN
stead OF its master. and emphasizes
the danger OF a coalition government
whereby no party must bear the re-
sponsibility.
The Manchester Guardian takes the
proposition more seriously, saying:
An InteEnntiOhaI Question.
"The enormous scandal Of Irish
nisgovernment appears to be about
to be taken In hand seriously By the
cabinet. The whole conditions Of the
problem have changed, and the meas
ure which flve years ago might have
brought peace in Ireland s. repudiated
now as wholly inadequate.
''Ths question OF Ireland has ceased
to be a purely domestic question; Il
has become an international question.
Other nations have acquired an in
terest in this settlement and ip. the
court OF opinion and conscience this
country IS compelled to defend fits
policy and clear its record in the face
Of the world.
1--WE have been engaged In settling
the affairs OF Europe in principles
wholly incompatible with the main
tsnancs Of the existing form Of miH-
taFy government in Ireland. For the
sake Of our credit, the discharge Of
the most elementary duties OF govern
ment IN Ireland must be dealt with
and the remedy at last be applied"

SEEKS MONEY FOR
WORLDLABORM MEET

Ernest H. Greenwood, Assistant
Secretary Of Labor in charge Of the
arrangements for the international
Labor Conference to be held here
beginning October 20, appeared be-
fore the House Appropriations Com
mittee. yesterday to ask an appro-
priation Of 100000 for the expenses
of the meeting.
Mr.. Greenwood said it was expect
ed that the United States would be
reimbursed by the League OF Ma
tions. Each nation pays the ex-
penseb Of its own delegates. many Of
whom now are on the way here, he
said. This country will not be repre-
sented at the conference unless the
peace treaty is ratified in the mean
time.
without ratification Of the treaty,
he added, the only representation the
United States will have will be by
invited guests" whose only function
will be to supply information about
labor conditions here
There Is no official knowledge that
German or Austrian delegates viii
attend, as Il Is a question whether
they win be permitted to participate
because they are not members of
the League Of Nations, the Labor
Department representative told the
committee. but II Is understood that
the peace conference has been re-
quested to approve the sending Of
delegates from those countries.
Reference by the witness TO the
resolution passed by Congress IN

many members OF the committee
were not aware Of the significance
OF the measure.

SALT LAKE CITY, oct. 12-Sena-
tor Hiram W. Johnson closed his tFi-

are written IN a speech last night
before an immense .audiencs In the

cheering him to the last word OF en-
thusiasm, Senator johnson flung forth
the challenge to President Wilson on
the reservations IN the treaty and the
amendments to the league for which
he Is leading the fight in washing
ton.
Only q few weeks ago ih the Taber-
nacle, President Wilson chided his
audience for applauding when he
read q reservation Of the senate
which provided explicitly that the
Congress Of the United States shall
under the League Of Nations retain
its constitutional power to declare
war and TO control the military and
the economic forces Of the United
States,

III you have q desire 70 cut out
the heart Of the treaty" said the
President, "then applaud. This reser-
walton means the rejection Of the
covenant"
The Presidents words, Senator
Johnson quoted, and then he declared:
III this reservation means to cut Ghe
heart out Of the treaty, then we win
cut out the heart"
Senator johnson said he yielded to
no man IN a desire 70 prevent war,
but he said:
your boys to maintain the empires Of
Great Britain and japan under this
League OF Nations"
He declared he would not accept
the ipse dixit Of any man. President
Wilson or anyone else, to adopt a
document. which, as he said the
League Of Nations does, imperils the
republic.
He called for AmericaniBm. He
said he was preaching that faith
alone. BE had no other message to
the people than that
sDoeu Net Prevent war"
He said the treaty had been sur
rounded By glamor and sentiment and
that just as soon az an analysis could
be made OF it the truth was brought
to the American people showing them
that all Of the idealisul and altrufsm
which had been preached upon Il was
swept away.
He declared Il did not prevent war,

THE OCCULT PLANE
Boutwell, Browne Finds inspiration N
in the Astral

"Come where the incense is burning "
This is the slogan of Boutwell, Browne,
who will appear personally in his dance
revue in conjunction with Yankee
Doodle in Berlin next week at the
Opera House.
There are always times" says
Browne, when we wish to forget the
hurry of this twentieth century; when
we are keen to grasp out into space for
unseen but desired restfulness. Il know
of no better method than entering the
plane of orientalism. This is the plane
upon which worry never frequents
Here you find absolute contentment-
harmony-quietudP Nothing could be
more restful than the subdued lightings,
the odor of foreign incense which hangs
in low haze throughout the room and
the soft sound of weird oriental instru-
ments. You depart entirely from this
world. You bow to the shrine of the
mystic Orient. You unconsciously de-
velop a keen imagination-a clearer
perspective"
