The Dancing PLAY,

The Dancing Play.
~ LINKETY clank! Ding dong!
~ Pufr-pufr-pufr!" went the toy
train through the tunnel. At first it
was very dark-dark as one might
expect a chimney to be. but after a
while lights flashed into view, and
they ran into a station built like a
theater. The stage Of the theater
was bit of pretty woodland and on
it gayly dressed dancers were giving
show. AS Peggy and Billy watch
ed eagerly they found that the
dancing was telling a charming
storytelling it without the use
of words. but with music helping to
make clear the meaning of every
graceful movement.
The story was that Of the birth Of
Joyousness. The dancers were elfs,
fairies and spirits. They gathered
flowers from the turf, glints of sun
shine from the woods, sparkle from
the dew, melody from the songs of
birds. rainbow hues from a foun-
tain spray. smiles from the lips Of
sleeping maiden, gurgles from a
baby, freshness from the passing
breeze and beauty from nature all
round about them. These they
nodded together, and when their
work was done they breathed upon
it, and up sprang Joyousness. liv-
ing, vibrant, a creature of delight.
Joyousness Joined in the dancing
with happy-hearted zest and the
frolic became merry and gay. But
Joyousness had a mission. 1t was
not to stay alone with those who
had created her, but to go out into

Rear Admiral William B. Caper-
ton, who will be placed on the re-
tired list today on account of age,

tion of the country md by famine con-
ditions at Budapest caused by the stop
page of all kinds of supplies from the
regions invaded by Czecho- -Slovaks, Ru-
manians and Jugo-Slavs.
The majority of American. commenta-
tors are inclined to doubt the sincerity
of the proceedings at Budapest, and to
view the setting up of Soviet rule as
bluff to exact better conditions of peace,
or as trick instigated by Germans, or
both. On the other hand, they recog-
nize the danger that will threaten Eu-
rope if Bolshevism really is to gain a
foothold in the Danube basin, and they
construe the latest events as warning
to the peace conference against further
delay.
"The Philadelphia Public Ledger"
headlines its editorial "The Hungarian
Overturn-A German Overture?" and
says: "We know how Germany expects
to win the peace. The Hungarian swing
to Bolshevism looks like a trial trip.
Possibly Germany has sent
Hungary in ahead to find out"
"Dilly-dallying" and "do-nothingness''
at Paris are blamed by "The Detroit
Free Press" while "The Utica Press"
warns that "the whole performance in
Hungary is suspiciously like an attempt
to intimidate the peace conference and
the people of Western Europe, and to
compel change in the purpose to free
the Rumanans of Pennsylvania from
Magyar oppression"
"The Philadelphia Inquirer" fears
that 1--WE are at the beginning of a
new campaign which will result in the
occupation of far-fung European capi-
tails" According to "The Cleveland
Plain Dealer" on the other hand, the
situation is not nearly so bad as it looks,
since "the Budapest illumination of war
against the democracies is mere bonn
bast." And, finally, "The Brooklyn
Daily Eagle" AYERS that "if the revolt
of Hungary has the effect of arousing
the peace conference from it's lesurely

Italians number 27,oO0, the Croats $4,000,
the Magyars and Germans 5000. Social
and commercial life, schools, theatres and
press are overwhelmingly Italian.
3. After the collapse of the Hapsburg
monarchy the government of the city was
taken over by the Italian National Council
which declared Immediately the union with

4. The commercial Importance of Fiume
rests on its being the only sea outlet for
Hungary, and the Hungarians have emphat-
cally declared their preference for an
Italian against Jugo-Slav regime.
5. The Jugo-Slavs claim Fiume on the
ground of economic necessity, maintaining
that the port is the main trade outlet for
Croatia. AS matter of fact. Jugo- Slavia
will possess number of excellent harbors
on the Dalmatian coast; moreover, the com
mercial rights of Croatia will be guaranteed
under Italian sovereignty
The Jugo-Slav argument is summed
up by Milorad Zebitch, who says that:
l. Even though the Italians have the
majority in Fiume proper, the proportion
is reversed if we count the inseparable
suburb of the city, Susak. which is exclu-
sively Slav. So is the Immediate hinter-.

Irish Storm Signals

II IRELAND has had a pronounced
habit of cropping up unexpectedly
h in the last four years. Germany
bet on the Emerald Isle as a dis
turbing factor in the late summer Of
1914. How near German intelligence
came to being right probably will never
be known. Later came the declaration
of a republic and bloodshed in Dublin.
Still later a British officer neatly evaded
the censor by summing up the situation
in three words: ireland is Ireland"
Now that the peace conference has dis
covered that Ireland is still Ireland in
spite of the war, the world is wondering
what the peace conference will do about
it. This question even disturbed the
serenity of a White House dinner and
later caused an amusing addition to "The
Congressional Record" AS far as Ire
land is concerned, officials of the most
recent republic are certain of one thing:
The peace conference must recognize Ire
land-or there will be trouble. In any
event, Ireland will be Ireland
AlLnOugh ireland Is one of the
stumbling blocks at the conference,
some writers take rosy view of her
present situation. E. J. Cannon, writing
in 1.-The San Francisco Bulletin" re-
marks that Ireland never occupied the
position Of advantage that she does to-
day:
THE slogan of the brilliant Executive of
the United States, Self-determination for
the small nations of the world has been
adopted by the Irish people, and their claim
to nationhood has been prepared for con-
sideration by the peace conference backed
by the enthusiastic approval of the United
States House of Representatives and thou
sands of prominent Americans who remem-
Der the wrongs of Irish soldiers who
fought so valianty for America. from Val-
ley Forge to Shenandoah"
The writer is the more irritated bv
the phrase, Poor little Ireland. You
could stick her in corner of New
York, which, he alleges, is often heard
in club circles when the Irish question
is under discussion. He says:
How absurd! Let us compare the area

lens to take care of the situation result
ing from the Polish Ukrainian armistice
break This rupture threatens an ir-
reparable gripping of Poland, one of our
allies, unless we send quick military aid
to her.
Every report here indicates that Po-
land now is in distress. Poland to-
day presents the only obstacle the Allies
can nterpose against Trotzky and his
hordes if the Bosheviki assume the of
fensivc. Hence the increased worry here
over the failure to settle the Ukrainan
dispute"
This correspondent reports, further
more, that not only Rumania, but even
Czecho-Slovakia, hitherto thought rea-
sonaby safe, have been penetrated by
the Bolshevik doctrine Trotzky, he
says, will soon be ready to strike with
million men at Poland, whose morale.
also has been undermined by Bolshevl
infiltration.
''The Brooklyn Daily Eagle" is chiefly
concerned about the events in the
Ukraine, which are believed to fore
shadow the conquest of all the Russias
by the Bolshevik duumvirate. 1t de-
clares
"Recapturc of most of Ukraine by Boil
shcvik forces again brings the Russian
problem to the fore with dramatic sud
dcnncss. 1t is hardly necessary to credit
stories of 1rotzkys plans for the invasion
Of Western Europe through Poland to
realize that the situation confronting the
Allies Ia serious. French as we'll as Greek

the most important success achieved by
Trotzky and Lcninc, and it has sinister
look
"Oncc secure il their hold on Ukraine
the Bolshcvik regime may be able 10
maintain itself indefinitely. Ukraine
means food for Bolshevik Russia, and food
means more than anything else"
Another menacing phase of the stu
alton is pointed out by "The Buffalo
Express"
"President Wilson's bewildering policy
toward Russia is beginning to bear fruit
fruit with an extremely sour taste. Word
comes from Vladvostok of an intense anti
American feeling growing in eastern ST.
IBERIA, due largely to the policy, or rather,
lack of policy, in our lilitary operations"
Summing up the situation, with it's
sinister outlook and its ever increasing
tokens of alarm, Frank H. Simonds
declares:
I'VE have two enemies in Europe where
we had one enemy four months ago Ger
manism, which was crushed, is revivine;

covite section OF the old Romanoff empire,

ut remains to be seen whether the pc
lief of many we'll informed people that
Germanism is prompting Bolshevism still
as in the past is accurate or not but more
and more it begins to be the belief in
Europe that German patriots and German
soldiers are encouraging the attack of
Bolshevism upon the Entente in the hope
that Germany may regain her position in
the world when Bolshevism has completed
the exhaustion of the Western Powers"
