"HE SHOP stewards movement
in England has become a very
important part of the labor
situation there Before the war the shop
stewards were the official representatives
of the unions in the workshops, but they
were quite minor delegates, whose bust
ness was practically confined to seeing
that new employees were members of
the unions and that the old members
kept their contributions up to date
During the war, however, their func-
tions have grown tremendously and
there has, also, grown up an organiza-
ton of unofficial shop stewards, who ex-
ercise vastly greater powers than the
official delegates
By an agreement of the unions with
the Ministry Of Munitions there were to
be no strikes during the war. Hence,

De Valera, keland's Sinn Fem

appeared in "The New York Evening
Sum-" De Valera said that violence would
be the only alternative remaining to
Irish patriots if the peace conference at
Paris fails to take steps to extend self
determination to Ireland. To quote him:
eve hope to avoid violence. II
means bloodshed, deaths, courts-msrtial
and perhaps executions. But if we have
to fight again to gain our rights, If that is
forced on us, we shall not hesitate. Ireland
must have complete independence.

America, with the Irish race convention
in Philadelphia as feature.
President Wilson was willing TO re-
ceive the committee of the convention af-
ter his speech at the Metropolitan Opera
House, but only on condition that Judge
Daniel +. Cohalan, chairman of the con
vention, should not be present.

way in which this snub was admins
tered:
"There was very special reason why the
President should have singled out this man
for disapprobation. 1t was not a personal
small reason. Cohalan had been one of the
most obnoxious pro-Germans holding hlgk
official position who came to view during
our controversy and war with Germany. lie
was another Jeremiah O'Leary, but more
dangerous than O'Lear, for the reason that
he was justice of the Supreme Court o,

and nation, and leader of his people"
Sir Horace Plunkett, of Dublin, told
the State Senate at Boston last week that
the Irish question can only be solved by

might be the highest strategy for Lloyd
George to bring Ireland's problem De-
fore the peace conference. In any event.
"The Kansas City Journal" is in favor
of having America kept out of the DIS

abundant spiritual life which seeks to

The Bishop of Michigan, in a maya
zine called Reconstruction" produces
very strong arguments in favor of a
league of churches. "The war" he
says
"has been reductio ad absurdum for our de-
nominationalsm 1t has proved the futility
of divided church in the face of any great
crisis of need and opportunity. We have
demonstrated that fact in our religious
work in the camps and environments and in
the trenches. The various denominations

without respect of race or person The
primal mission of Christ was to open out
to the gaze of mankind this long obscured
fact of the universal Fatherhood of God,
together with its inseparable corollary of
the universal brotherhood of men: and to
put the divine seal on His mission by the
sacrifice of Himself.
at should obviously have been the prin-
cipal passion Of the churches to proclaim
and promote this primal mission of their
Lord. But for our sad knowledge to the
contrary, it would have appeared inconceiv-
able that any other objects should have
absorbed their interests and their energies
AS the churches, however, have largely
failed to illustrate among themselves this
spirit of brotherhood, it is not surprising
that the nations should have failed also.
But under the stress laid upon them by the
war many nations, witnessed by the gen
eral favor accorded to their proposed
league, are at last becoming alive to the
Tact OF human brotherhood and of the para
mount necessity of bringing themselves
into line with it in their interrel ationships
one with another. In this supreme matter
they are giving splendid lead to the
churches, and happily the best of the
churches are manifesting strong desire
to follow their lead. The most progressive
nations are rapidly drawing toward the
conviction that mutual cooperation is i'm
measurably better than mutual jealousy,
both for the promotion of their own M
tonal interests and the common good of
humanity; and the most Christian churches
are more clearly perceiving that n narrow
excusiveness Is altogether oppugnnnt to
their religion. and that by the exercise of
bfothcrly love they can best advance their
own shcred work, best commend themselves
to each other and the world nt large. l,s.t
adorn the doctrine Of their Founder and
their Lord.

common soldier often turns away in despair

And what has become patent under the
searching test of war conditions is latent
always and everywhere.
This is the common attitude of mind in
the average man toward our chaotic Chris
tendon. A divided Church is sure to break
down under the searching test of any great
crisis. divided Church cannot sneak with
any authority in, or give any adequate in
depreciation of, any great tragedy of his
tory such as this world war divided
Church, ranking with sectarian jealousies,
could not concentrate the stupendous
task of ministry to the spiritual needs
evoked by the war-nor can it efficiently

merchant. Here Eleuthcros Venizclos
was born, in 1864 Because of his po-
litical activities, the father was ban
ished by the Turks. His education,
therefore, took place mainly at Athens,
where he graduated in law in 1880. He
returned to Crete and soon became a
prominent lawyer. At twenty-five he
was member of the Cretan Legislature.
He rendered conspicuous service in the
revolution of 1890-'92. In 1898 he
became Minister Of Justice, in which ca

In 1910, following Il parliamentary
election, which turned out to be an en-

bbliged to summon him to the Premier

chance and accepted.
In 1914, Mt the outbreak Of the great
war, Venizelos did not hesitate mo-
nent before he sided with tho Entente

Venlzelos urged that Greece do the
