Contradiction Arises
 Over Ireland in War

Dublin, Jan. 3.-Eamonn De Va 1era's speeches in America with re- gard to the part played by Irish SOL diers in the war have been read in Irleand with some surprise, and it is pointed out here that in this matter MT. De valera's sentiments differ a good deal from those of his support CTS. Captain McWalter, Dublin physician and member of the Dublin Municipal Council, who served throughout the war in the Army Medical Corps, writes as follows in the Dublin Press:
 tAll the ex-service men, and there are over 10000 of us, were pleased to find MT. De Valera assuring his American audience that we fought for a principle and that Irishm en in the earlier days of the war rushed to the ranks in over whelnling numbers. But whilst Mr. De Valera rightly interprets our po- sition to the Americans his followers and supporters in Dublin never cease , to pour contumely on Irish soldiers and to heap every indignity possible upon them.
 1epers rather than as heroes. Men who had not the manliness to fight either in the army or in the rebellion now find courage to persecute by
 every means in their power those army or ex-army men whom De Va. 1 lera lauds, and even carry their vim l dictiveness against every man who | helps them-''

Argentina Will Not
 Deliver Sugar to U. s.

Buenos Aires, Jan. a.-There ap- pears to be little chance that the United States or any other country suffering from sugar shortage will receive any hSsD for some time to come from Argentina.
 The sugar growers of Tucuman, the principal sugar producing province appealed recently to President Irigo- yen, saying they had a surplus of 50,- 900 tons and asking him to revoke the decree forbidding exportation. Labor organizations raised a protest declaring that exportation would re- suit in an advance in the price to do- mestic consumers and saying that the surplus which the Tucumaa growers had on their hands should be kept for the benefit of Argentina. Soon after President Irigoyen announced that he would not revoke the de- cree.
 Now comes a report from the Di- rector of Rural Economy and Sta tistics estimating that this years sugar harvest will amount to 26O,00C tons and saying that while there vii be a surplus of 52,154 tons, it should be retained in this country as a re- serve stock.

Battles Between
 Arabs and French
 Were Not Serious

Paris, Jan. 2.---Ffghting between French troops anal Arabs at BaaIbek, Syria, on December Is was not of a serious character, according to an off, cial statement issued here today. Cairo despatches reporting the incl dent stated severe losses were inf1ict- ed during the encounter.
 A French officer, acting as liaison officer, on December IS entered Baal- bek, which was occupied by Enir Fta1- sals troops, and was obliged to leave
 the place owing to the hostile attitude
 of the Arabs, it is said. He returned next day to the town with a small de- tachment, sent by General Gouraud to insure his safety. When the detach- ment was about to enter the town, a desultory fire was opened by about 200 natives scattered in the ravines of the road. One French soldier was wounded.
 ! Since that date, there has been nc trouble in the vicinity of Baalbek Enir F'aisal is still in Paris where friendly conversations relative to the future of Mohamm in Syria are taking place.

'sSnowballing' Cause
 of Strikes in America

New York, Jan. 3. Ninety-five per cent of the strikes and 75 per cent of the days of id1eness in the build ing trades in the past have occurred through what is known as "snov- bal1ing" or controversies between wage earners themselves as to which trade should do the work, says Franklin T. Miller, president of the F. w. Dodge Company and formerly Director of the Division of Public Works and Construction of the United States Department of Labor Only per cent, he declares have been on questions between employer and en- ploye.
 MT. Miller who has been in touch with the construction industry in this country for 25 years, cited the ease of a big Chicago hotel costing millions, the work on which had been delayed, he said, more than a year because of a disagreement be- tween skilled workers as to who should handle certain doors because of the preponderance of metal over wood.
