acted for her, unless she assents to the permanent amputation of a DOT tion of a province which contains substantial proportion of her most patriotic citizens, and which historic ally, geogra phically, racially, consti- tutionally, economically, and admin istratively is, and always has been, an integral portion of her island terri tory, and an essential factor in her composite nationality. If the dissen- tient minority be temporarily estrang- ed from the majority, that is largely the result of an external intrigue which has sought to foster and in flame that arrangement in order to fashion for itself a weapon against the kindred causes of liberty for Ire land and democratic progress in Great Britain.
 In our opinion Ireland as nation has been robbed of her treaty rights, and the Irish people, as a race, re- duced to the position of heIots by the withholding of that which, in virtue of their citizenship, they had won by constitutional action. Of those for whom we speak, the survivors feel that their reliance on the Home Rule compact was ill-founded, and that
 
 lives in that reliance have made a sacrifice fruitless, up to the present, of benefit for the Fatherland that they loved.
 That there has been a violent emo tionaI upheavaL in Ireland, with po- litical reactions, is a result that could have been foretold with mathematical precision; and it is our knowledge of he II o11 I
 Ireland with the stigma of these con- sequences, as well as of the true con- ditions at present existing in Ireland, which leads us to present this, our petition, to Your Majesty in so much detail.
 We appeal to Your Majesty under these circumstances of unprecedented difficulty for a sympathetic considera- ton of the cause of your Irish sub jects. We submit that under present conditions it is in accordance neither
 with eXpediency nor natural justice that the issue between the Kingdom of Ireland and the Kingdom of Great Britain should be finally determined by Your Majesty's Ministers, who represent the preponderant British
 majority in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. We believe that the scales of justice would be held more evenly by that tribunal which has been charged, with the full as sent of Your Majesty's government with the task of applying, in irterna- | tional affairs, the principles for which Your Majesty's armed forces, in cooperation with your Allies and the United States of America, have recently achieved signal victory.

THE ROMANTIC
 RENAISSANCE |?

Otis Skinner's great success in 'The Honor of the Family" at the Globe Theatre, New York. has emboldened some of the writers about the theatre to declare that a Romantic Renais- \ Asapce'' has begun. MT. Skinner him self doesn't believe it.
 The frankly theatrical costume play, by which is usually meant the romantic play" he says, stands no better or worse chance now than it ever did. If it is a dull play, no amount of costuming or quaint yer nacular will save 1t. 'Kismet' suc- ceeded in a season when the costume play was considered quite extinct, but it did not succeed wholly by its pie torial quality. Something robust in the character caught the imagination. The" romantic play may have its colors laid on more richly and with a heavier brush, but 1t must have form and substance as we'll"
 MT. Skinner also has his own idea about realism on the stage.
 "The fact is,'' he says, ''the stage may not reproduce life-it may only recreate 1t. And, by this test, any thea atricaIity which recreates life amusingly or interestingly is justified I do not mean by this that only gilded and artificial things belong on the stage, but I do believe that only life which has been retouched so that il Is pictorial can fit into the pros senium."

tional interests.
 We respectfully pray, therefore, that Ireland's claims may be referred to the Peace Congress, of which the President of the French Republic in his opening address, described the ob- jects as nothing by justice, justice that has no favorites, justice in terri torial problems, justice in financial problems, justice in economic pro- blems," and whose task ito remake the map of the world. in the name of the peoples" on condition that it shall faithfully interpret their thoughts and respect the right of na- uOns, small and great, to dispose of themselves and reconcile it with the right, equally sacred, of ethnicaI and religious minorities."
 We pray Your Majesty that the long agony of Ireland may thus be at length assuaged, and that her future may be moulded by the application of those great principles which we, as IreIand's devoted sons and humble representatives, and as portion of Your Majesty's armed forces, have aided in enthroning upon the judg- ment seat of human civilization.

Walkout-PIan Secretly
Discussed.

Chicago, Nov. 26.-National leaders
OF the four great railway brotherhoods
held a secret session at which the
i%nsistence Of many local unions that
a general strike of. all railway work
ers in the United States be called De-
cember 1 to enforce demands for gen
eral increases in pay was given seri-
u consideration according to in
formation obtained from union railway
men. 1t was said by one union official
that many of the delegates who are
nov in Cleveland went there with the
specific purpose of forcing the general
committee to call the nationwide
strike.
1t became known that the Kansas
City local of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen had telegraphed ma
tional officials of their organization
taking permission to call a strike of
trainmen and yardmen at once. 1t
was reported that the national Off
GERS replied in such a way as to leave
the question entirely open and subject
to the decision of local officials.
mo MocIonS Yet Presented.
The union officials in Chicago from
whom the information was obtained
stated that so far as they were aware
the secret conference in Cleveland
had not yet reached the point where
resolutions or motions for the strike
actually had been presented, but that
the discussion concerning it, accord
ing to their information, was favor
able to the project and that the tie-up
could be expected within three days.
A similar announcement was made at
the convention of the newly organized
labor party here.
Buffalo, Detroit, Pittsburgh and st.
Louis were declared to have been
among the cities whose locals were
particularly insistent that a strike be
called in view of recent government
statements to the effect that general
advances in the pay of railway work
ers could not be considered at this
time. The IA locals of Chicago rail
way men, it was said, had voted un-
animously in favor of the strike and
that a resolution asking for a strike
decision had been sent to w. G. Lee,
president of the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen.
Other union officials who discussed
the situation insisted that their names
be withheld from publication in con
nection with the information they
gave. Fear Of possible restraining or
ders directed at them in event of a
strike, was said to be the reason, and
in that connection it was stated by the
same officials that the higher officials
of the organization most probably
would deny positive knowledge of the
situation.

in the stock market and subsequent
relapses from the partial recovery,

market favorites on the New York
stock exchange have demonstrated
cleary the dangers of speculation.
Fol six months the stock market adj

usual "~profit-taking reactions and in

There was reaso behind the ad-

it beyond reason. Eastern market
reports for months have carried men

wages, war profits, the prosperity of
industry and agriculture have given
many the fever to speculate.
Investments Prove Disappointing.
Financing of new and old corpora
lions by stock, bond and note issues
called for hundreds of millions Of dol
lars. Issues of preferred stock alone
since January 1 have totaled more
than $500, 1000, 900 and common stock
a billion more. Foreign loans with
more in prospect to finance Europe's
buying added to the burden. The
immense buying power of the coun-
try shouldered the load, but specu-
lation in listed shares was getting
out of bounds. Money rates began
to show the strain. Three weeks
ago call money in New York rose
to 1870, the next week to 2O% and last
week to 800, the highest point since
the panic of 1907. Renewals touched
14%, the highest in years, and time

warning from the banks to go slow.
