that under such a state her indus

Hence Ulster is opposing Sim Fein

Accuses Secret Dealings.
What right has Sim Fein to ask
any sympathy from America or
from the allied world? Let her rec
ord be the answer These are the
facts. Sim Fein both before and
during the world war had secret
dealings with Germany looking to
the betrayal of England to Ger
many. Bernhard in urging Ger
many not to fear war with England
said England in case OF way would
have an enemy at home to keep her
troops busy so that she could not
send any great armies TO fight Ger
many. He referred 10 the Sim Fem
element in Ireland. He was a

treachery of Sin Fem has been COM

Sim Fem bitterly fought England
policy of CONSUMPTION, which policy
when applied here in America was
submitted to without protest from
our loyal citizens. Sim Fein pledg-
ed her followers to resist the con-
scription even unto blood. A typi-
cal utterance was this: II England
attempted CONSUMPTION tomorrow
this we would say, we would sooner
see every man in Ireland dead on

other appeal was that every means
be used TO prevent enlistment in the
British forces, on the theory that
this would reduce the fighting force

March 21 unite in services and prayers
for The restoration of peace
The first anniversary of the out
break of the war was the next occa-
sion the Pope seized for an appeal
for peace. He issued appeals to the
rulers of the world, and early in 1916
reiterated his plea.
On October a, 1914, the Pope wrote
to the late Emperor Francis Joseph,
urging him to use his influence to
shorten the war
On February q, 1915. it was learned
that the Pope had sounded the Kaiser
on terms Of peace and it was said
the Pope had the aid of Francis Joseph
in the move.
Dispatches from Petrograd April 16
1913, told Of peace suggestions" that
had come from the Pope at the insti-
CATION of private persons in Austria
Hungary"
The Pope removed his plea for peace
in letter to Francis Joseph on the
latter's birthday, August Is, 1915.
The following Christmas the Pontif
repeated his efforts, sending an cxhor-
tation by cable to the United States for
general prayer for peace.
Early in May, 1916, Monsisnor Bon
zano, Papal Delegate, delivered to Pres
iuciI NHsoH message from the Pope
which lntimated that this nation might
volunteer in restoring peace to Europe.
On january l6, 1917, a message was
delivered at the White House express
ing approval of the Presidents ''peace
without victory" message to all bellig
erents sent earlier in the month.
The final effort for peace made bv
the Pope, and the most direct one, was
on August Ia, 1917, when it was an
nounced at the Vatican that the Pope
had addressed communications to all
belllgerents suggesting terms on which
peace might be concluded.

Word sSTrillion'' Is
Introduced in Peace
Finance Discussion

PARIS, March II (By The Asso.
ciated Pressl.-1he consideration of
reparations by the Supreme Council
has introduced the word "trillion" in
recognizing money, probably for the
first time in any single financial oper-
alton, for. although millions and bill
lions often have been used in war
finance, no sum has yet been reached
touching q trillion.
In estimating the war losses Of all
the powers, the first figures Of one
Of the great powers aggregated tril-
lion francs, and those Of another
power were slightly above half trll-
lion francs, namely, six hundred bill
lion francs. These first estimates have
gradually been reduced until the pres
ent aggregate covering the losses for
all countries is about one-ffth Of the
first highest estimate, and in final
form probably will be in the neigh
borhood of thirty-five or forty billion
dollars.

The Americans who arc recon

finally adopted an amendment further
reducing this figure to 100000
May End All Conscription
One Of Premier Lloyd Georges main
purposes in substituting voluntary SER
vice for the conscription system was to
pave tho way for the disappearance of
the conscription system throughout
Europe. as it was believed that the
effect of the abolition OF the system
in Germany would be that the other
European countries would generally
follow it, thus ending the menace Of
large standing armies and their prov
ocstiop to warfare.
The council has already adopted the
naval terms of the treaty. except for
n few reserved provisions.
Rough Draft Takes Form
The first rough outlines OF the peace
treaty are beginning to take form as
result of the rapid disposal of the main
questions before the council of the
Great powers The preliminary draft
Will be we'll along within the present
week. and with the arrival of President
Wilson. final revision Will proceed 50

cntation by the end of next week, and
thus conform to Marshal Foch's limit
Of March 20. though the British ap-
parcntlv are incNacd to doubt the pos
sibility of carrying out the programme
on time.
The peace treaty promises to be n
very long document, chiefly owing to
detailed provisions concerning the Ger
man military system and methods for
It's control by the Allies. 1t Will en-
body. however. only five or SIX man
divisions. namely:
First Military, naval and aerial
terms.
Second -Roparations for the war

Third German boundaries
Fourth Economic and financial pro
visions, and probably.
Fifth Responsi ibilities for the war.
The American members of the su-
preme council, it is understood, per
mitted the military experts to eXer-
else their judgment regarding the
proper size and character Of the fut-
urc German army.
View of Americans
In order to have basis of discus
sion, the Americans. it is reported,
suggested an army of 100000 men, but
only because that was the number
mentioned in the first armstice pro-
posai.
The decision of the council to limit
Germany to a volunteer twelve year
army is regarded by the Americans as
likely to lead to consideration by the
league of nations when it takes up the
subject of the limitation of arma-
ments of the policy of general pro-
hibition of conscript armies IN all ma
tions. This is on the theory that the
great expense of regular long-term
armies will be such as to automatical-
" keep down militarism.
The council, in accordance with The
decision reached yesterday, to-day
closed the question of the representa-
ton Of the small nations on the eco
nomic and financial commissions By
making the following appointments:
