since Premier Lloyd George and the
foreign minister. y. Bonar Law, were
at the same time issuing arguments
against clemency for the lord mayor.
it was evident that any action in that
direction by the king would be
against the advice of his ministers
Attitude Toward King.
The newspapers published many
editorials and letters setting forth, on
one hand. that King George should
not be embarrassed by direct appeals
to him, and, on the other hand. that he
should and had the right to exercise
his nominal constitutional power OF
pardoning.
The Weekly Nation, which is one of
the most advanced liberal organs and
not generally rated as a supporter OF
monarchy. argued that this was an
occasion for the king to Vindicate his
constitutional right and protect the
country against, the growing autoc-
racy of the cabinet.
There were many other arguments
to the same effect. An historical
writer combating the theory that the
king always had been cipher IN
such matters, eXhumed new story

Gil chamber with tears pleading for
the pardon of criminals and some
times carrying his point, although
once. when he wrote to the viceroy of
Ireland granting pardon to muir
derer. he was compelled by his cabi
net to cancel his edict.
Did Not Justify Suffering.
One of the chief reasons put for
ward by MacSwiney's advocates, al
though from anti-Sinn Fein quarters.
was that the offenses of which Mac
Swiney was convicted were so com
paratively light they did not justify
his suffering, even though voluntarily.
Premier Lloyd Georges reply was
that MacSwiney undoubtedly was a
high officer of the Irish republican
army" which decreed and executed
murders of officials and police in Ire
land. The republican army, unlike
the Sim Fem. is purely a secret or
ganization. The identity of it's Off
GERS and personnel is kept from the
public, and there is doubt even
whether the Sim Fein controls it or
officially knows it's workings.
The theological argument over the
course of Bishop Colahan and MacSwi-
ney's chaplain, the Rev. Father Domi-
mic. in, as critics say. encouraging him
to commit suicide, was largely biblical
Rev. Father Bernard Vaughn was the
only priest who publicly criticized them

The human aspect of the lord mayor

Interested British people and compelled
the sympathy of even his hardest politi-
cal enemies. Mrs. MacSwiney and his
brothers and sisters were treated every
where with respect, and on their side
had nothing but good to say Of the jail
ers and police with whom they had to
deal
With regard to the theological Is
poets of the lord mayors hunger
strike and that of the Irish prisoners
in the Cork Jail who began similar
abstention from food shortly before
MacSwiney's fast started, it was stated
in a Rome dispatch. on October II,
that Pope Benedict had referred the
problem of these hunger-striking
prisoners to the congregation of the
holy office.
His holiness had received many urg-
ent appeals to make some pronounce
ment regarding these cases from per-
sons of opposing viewpoints. implor-
ing the pontiff to reach diametrically
opposed decisions on the question
whether the deaths of the prisoners
as a result of their hunger strike
would make them suicides.
He had found widely divergent opin-
ions also. it was added, among
learned cardinals and other promi-
nent figures in the church with whom
he had discussed the situation. and
therefore had laid the problem before
the congregation of the holy office.
which settles questions of faith and
morals and judges heresy. There has
been no indication as to when a de-
cision might be expected from this
body.
The first death among the hunger
strikers occurred on Sunday. October
Il, when Michael Fitzgerald, one of
the eleven striking prisoners in the
Cork Jail. succumbed to the results of
his self-imposad fast. He had tasted

Irish republic
The day following his trial Lord
Mayor MacSwiney was deported to
England aboard a destroyer. under
heavy military escort, and was lodged
in Brixton Jail. The government an
nounced on August 10 that he was
sentenced to two years imprison-
ment.
MacSwiney's hunger strike brought
numerous solicitations and protests
ITO the British authorities, many of,
the appeals being from sympathizers
in the United States. An appea! was
taken directly to the king, but this
also proved unavailing.
During his imprisonment the lord
mayor received numerous messages
of encouragement. and also petitions
to abandon his strike. He replied
to the latter that if he gave up his
fight he would give away Irish lib
erty" and that he would rather die
than do that
Within the past week, when it be-
gan to appear that the lord mayor was
approaching the end, he was given
liquid nourishment by the prison doc
tors during periods of Unconscious
ness.
This fact appeared in statements by
both the Irish determination
League, which had been issuing regu-
lar bulletins on MacSwiney's condi-
ton. and by the home office. The
leagues statement showed the lord
mayor as becoming extremely indig-
nant upon regaining consciousness
and realizing that he had been fed.
"They tricked me, and / didn't know
it," he exclaimed.
The leagues bulletin on October 21
contained this statement:
ut should be made clear that the
meat extract given the lord mayor
during his delirium on the sixty ninth
day of his fast was the first nourish-
ment which had passed his lips since
his arrest on August T."
Peter MacSwiney of New York,
a brother of the lord mayor. is an

LONDON. October 25-The story of
The self starvation of Terence Mac
Ewiney. lord mayor of Cork. probably
will become one Of the most moving
chapters of the centuries-long history
of the Irish struggle. No other con-
t.oversy has stirred Great Britain so
deeply as this since the one that CEN
tered upon Cecil Rhodes. when the
Jameson raid was baked by Paul
Kruger and the raiders imprisoned.
The campaign in England for Mac
Swiney's release from prison has been
apart from all political and party con-
Siderations and ever the king was
drawn into it. The movement in Mac
Swiney's behalf was mainly human
itar:sn and enlisted tender hearted

by others with arguments of party
strategy.

have arisen from the case. The first
was whether King George could prop

tive independently of or against the
advice of his ministers. The second
was whether the Catholic clergy, rep
resenting a church which holds sui
eide to be a crime. could consistently
administer the sacraments to hunger
strikers. The kings reply. through
the secretary OF state for war. to the
petition of members of parliament
was generally interpreted to mean
that the kings personal leaning was

TREES BEING PLACED
in THE CITY PARKWAYS

The civic league department of the
Womans Club has taken an active
part in beautifying the city park-ways
of the new paved streets. Under the
direction of Mrs. J. It. Colson, who is
chairman of this department they have
planted sixty palmetto trees about thir
ty feet apart interspaced with dogwood
and crepe mirtle. These trees repre-
sent an expenditure of five dollars
each, and they are a very difficult tree
to plant and get started growing, re-
quiring a good deal of experimenting.
The Woman's Club is very anxious to
get the cooperation of the ladies who
live in the block within which these
trees are planted, to take an interest
in the trees, which beautify their
blocks or Streets An appeal to them
has been made to take an interest in
the work being done and to see that
the trees are not molsted and, if neces-
sary, see that they are watered.
