HELPS YOUNG WOMEN.


AS a result Of the prohibition law
becoming effective July l some of
the whisky firms have ALREADY
suspended business and a number of
office people are looking for new
connections. The free employment
bureau for girls and women con-
Quoted by the National Catholic War
Council at esq South Fourth street
has consequently on file applications
from well qualified young women
who have occupied responsible posi-
lions as correspondents, steno-
graphers and book-keepers. The
telephone number of the office is
Main or City 1859. The rest room
will continue to be open during the
summer until $3.50 every evening.
1t is chaperoned from $50 to $40
by volunteers from different parish
es of the city, and If there are any
Catholic women who have not al
ready chaperoned and can give one
evening of their time for this service
Miss Detert will appreciate their call
Ing her up. The rest room has been
quite extensively used as a meeting
place for committees, ETC.. and this
accommodation is extended to all
Catholic women. Books may be
taken from the branch library at any
time without a special card.

WOMEN WAR WORKERS.

One of the most important prob
lens of readjustment is that created
by the presence in industry of inn
mense numbers of women who have
taken the places of men during the
war. Mere justice, to say nothing
of chivalry, dictates that these
women should not be compelled to
suffer any greater loss or incon-
yenience than is absolutely neces-
sary; for their services to the nation
have been second only to the serv-
ices of the men whose places they
were called upon to fill. One general
principle is clear. No female worker
should remain in any occupation
that is harmful to health or morals.
Women should disappear as quickly
as possible from such tasks as con-
Quoting and guarding street cars,
cleaning locomotives, and a great
number OF ether activities for which
conditions of life and their physique
render them unfit. Another general
principle is that the proportion of
women in industry ought to be kept
within the smallest practical limits.
If we have an efficient national en-
ployment service, if goodly num-
Der OF the returned soldiers and
sailors are placed on the land, and
II wages ard demand for goods are
kept up to the level which is easily
attainable. all female workers who
are displaced from tasks that they
have been performing only since the
beginning CT the war will be able
to find suitable employments in
other parts of the industrial field,
or in those domestic occupations
which sorely need their presence.
Those women who are engaged at
the same tasks as men should re-

POSITION NOT ENyIABLE.

Sir Horace Plunketts plans for
Dominion home rule for ireland are
said to have been inspired by Lloyd
George for the purpose of checking
the rising tide OF Sim Feinism. 1t
is not unlikely that this is true. And
If true, is it not safe TO assume that
Lloyd George has weighty reasons
on this matter, for change of front
it is. Is it that he has learned that
in spite of her many votes England's
position in the council of the League
of Nations will not be an enviable
one while Ireland's wrong remain un-
dressed? Or is it that he realizes that
for himself and his Tory friends there
can be no political future unless they
can go to the country as the cham
pions of radical measures including
justice to Ireland which is part of
the Labor and Liberal policies? At
any rate, Sir Horace Plunkett's
Dominion plans are splendid
tribute to the excellence of Sim
Fein tactics and indicate that the
Irish republicans have cornered the
sympathy Of the people of Ireland
and of the world, and whatever be
the outcome of the present agitation,
Sim Fein will have the honor and
the credit Of making the Irish ques-
ton a matter of concern to all the
nations of the earth, for while Ire
land is denied her natural and ma
tional rights there can be no peace
in the world because no people can
trust another people whose practices
are at variance with their profess
sions. and distrust breeds jealousy.
and jealousy is fruitful source of
war.

WELL TO KNOW.

The arraignment of the British
Government for atrocities in Ireland,
an arrangement drawn up by Messrs.
Walsh and Dunno of the Irish-Amer-
lean delegation, comes as revelation
to Americans. For the past five
years the only information that was
allowed to get out of Ireland was
such as the British Government APP
proved. The disclosures made by
Messrs. Dunno and Walsh show how
much has been held back. While
we were talking about atrocities in
Belgium, similar events were taking
place in ireland. and while English
writer's were denouncing the barbara
ties perpetuated on helpless Belgium.
nearer home similar barbarities
were taking place. 1t is well 10
know this.

FIVE YEARS LATE.

We do not look for the Plunkett
plan OF dominion home rule for Ire
land to cut much figure in the agita-
ton that has now assumed an inter-
national character. 1t is a compro-
mise proposal and comes too late to
be considered seriously. A few years
ago 1t would have been accepted by
Ireland as a great boon. But times
have changed. England lost her
chance to conciliate Ireland when
the home rule biz, passed in 1914.
was held up indefinitely and then
repudiated. Dominion home rule is
essentially q British proposal and
the time for such proposals has
passed Sir Horace Plunkett, we
have little doubt, means well. He
has advocated many industrial re-
forms in Ireland that were bene-
Hcial. But as a statesman he was
never prominent until he was called
upon to preside over the Irish con-
ference two years ago. That con-
ference report was for home rule,
but the report was never acted upon,
because few Carsonites from the
north opposed home rule. They
might today be willing to accept SIR
Horace's proposal, but the sent-
ment in the rest of Ireland has now
advanced to the point where nothing
short of characterization will be
satisfactory. AS conciliator. Sir
Horace comes on the scene about
five years too late.

CARDINAL GIBBONS.

Cardinal Gibbons celebrated last
week his thirty-third anniversary as
"a member of the Sacred College and
the fifty-eight anniversary of his
ordination TO the priesthood by a
visit to the home of the Right Rev.
Msgr. William e. Starr, who was
himself celebrating the golden jubi-
lee of his ordination, and who was
associated with the Cardinal at the
Cathedral years ago. In the morn
ing Cardinal Gibbons celebrated a
low mass on the main altar of the
Cathedral. and with the exception
of the visit passed the remaining
hours of the day quietly in his
room When interviewed during the
afternoon Cardinal Gibbons express
sed his qualification at the termina-
ton of the great war. and recalled
the fact that at the time Of his
ordination the country was just
entering another great conflict-the
Civil War-during which he served
as chaplain at Fort McHenry and
Fort Marshall. He spoke OF the
pleasure 1t afforded him to recall
Incidents of those stirring days be-
fore an audience OF wounded
soldiers whom he addressed few
weeks ago at Fort McHenry.

PEACE TREATY AND IRELAND

The peace treaty has been signed
at Versailles; and, all things con-
sidered, says the Catholic Telegraph,
its provisions make for vast I'M
provement over the international
conditions of the pre-war period.
The recognition and the establish
ment of the right and the justice
of the principle of the self-determi-
nation of nations regarding the form
of their own governments is the
paramount feature of the new dis
pensation; and the precautions
against the recurrence of war should
commend themselves to the admira-
ton of humane people everywhere.
We are inclined to believe that the
treaty is the best that could be OBJ
tanned under the circumstances.
There is, however. an egregious de-
feet in the resettlement of the Euro
pean world, in that Ireland has been
denied the Justice that is her due.
The Irish people of the Emerald Isle
constitute a distinct nation. They
were a nation before there was such
a body polite as England. They
have never acduiesced in the in
fringement upon their rights Of ma
tionhood by Great Britain. They
have always struggled for self-de-
termination against superior physi-
cal force. They have recently voted
in favor of establishing a democratic
form of government for their home
land, and they have elected re-
representatives. to constitute the Irish
Republic. II the characterization

quate return. Ian Macpherson, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, says that in
Dublin $40 persons out of every
1000 were living in dwellings OF
one room. The situation in rural
districts also is deplorable and the
difficulty of remedying 1t is doubled
by the fact there is little property
on which to levy taxes. Hence the
Government plans that rural local
authorities shall have power to bor-
row money, the Government paying
half the interest. The Government
also will defray half of the upkeep
expenses, management and other
costs in putting through the housing
scheme. Three-quarters of Ireland
comprise rural population, but in the
two principal urban centers, Dublin
and Belfast, the taxes already are
so high that the housing situation
could be carried out, Macpherson
said, only by Government subsidiary.

An important question has been
raised and an important decision OBJ
tanned by the Society of st. Vincent
de Paul in France. The local con-
ferences presented themselves in
various departments of France as
legal guardians under the State
scheme for the wards of the nation,
which is TO benefit the orphans of
the war. Several projects welcomed
this proposal and acceded to it, while
others refused recognition OF the
great Catholic society. In the latter
case an appeal was made to the
Council of State by the st. Vincent

has now bean given which recognizes
