TRUCE FOR GOD"
 IN IRELAND NOW
 APPEARS LIKELY
Possibility of Cessation of Hos tilities During Christmas Seen in Suggestion of Sim Fein
 Parliament Member
By Associated Press

London December 3.-The possibility of a Christmas truce in Ireland seems to be connected with suggestion made by Roger N. Sweetman, Sim Fein member of Parliament for North Wexford, that advantage be taken of the labor commissions presence in Ire land to bring about conference be- tween the commission and the Irish labor party, the Irisch peace confer ence and the Catholic hierarchy to en- list all moderate opinion in Ireland in the support of Cardinal Logue's appeal for "a truce for God.p
 MT. Sweetman is a wealthy land owner of moderate views and it is be- lieved he will be supported by large number of Sim Feiners representing moderate opinion.
 MT. Sweetmans idea is to bring about cessation of bloodshed in the hope of attaining an atmosphere which will be better suited for political ne : gotiations which are considered i'm possible as long as the extremists br both sides of the controversy are sway ing affairs

 if the plebiscite in that country Sun day should favor the election of Crown Prince George as king, it was stated in authoritative quarters here today
 The allied declaration of yesterday was aimed merely at Constantine, it was added, and the guarantees the allies demanded might be attended in the case of the prince. according to the attitude he adopts.
 Briefly summarized. the position of the allies is that they want to warn the Creeks vigorously that their govern- ment must conform to great extent to the wishes of the allies. and that if the admonition in yesterdays note and today's statement relative to with drawal of financial support are in- effective, the allies are prepared to take even sterner measures, which were discussed today.
 As the Sevres treaty has not been ratified it is within the power of the allies to modify it. and they are con- templating this fact to the fore, at least as regards Smyrna It is known that some of those at the conference today expressed the belief that Smyrna would be safer, from the allied stand point, in Turkish hands than in the hands of the Greeks under Constantine The wish was expressed however, not to go so far as to threaten the Creeks before the plebiscite, with retaking part of the territory allotted them un- der the Sevres treaty
 While the pTemiers are in accord that the sternest measures should be taken if Constantine Is returned, they have not agreed on what stand to take if the Greeks choose. Prince George for their king. In any event they con- sider another conference soon will be necessary to decide definitely what shall be done if Constanfine wins or what steps shall be taken if the Greeks vote otherwise. Tomorrow the con ference will discuss German repara : tiOns !

Tribunal. That is what teeth"
imply.
As the case stands, Senator
Harding and his senatorial mas
ters are trying to destroy the
League of Nations that exist in
order to establish still more
powerful associations of nations
that does not exist. They refuse
to allow the United States to en-
ter a League in which it has an
absolute veto power over the de-
cisions of the Council, but they
promise to make it a member of
an association in which it will be
obligated to uphold by force the
DEGREES of a divided court.
Every argument they have
ever made against the covenant
is nullified by the Harding plea for
a Hague Tribunal with teeth. y
Either The Hague Tribunal must
remain the impotent thing it has
proved to be or the nations must
be prepared to put behind it the
same kind of power that the
United States puts behind the
decisions of the Supreme Court,
which are supported by all the
force at the command of the
government.

that was long ago discussed and
rejected. No nation has ever
agreed to it and no nation is ever
likely to agree to l.. 1t is put

The taxicabs of China are the

There is one characteristic of
the jinrickisha man that the

to fathom and yet he contributes

Modes of Travel

There are three distinct modes
of travel in the Far East that
stand out as being unique, in a
sense, to the American Naval

"NORMALCY" AND "OLD TIMES"

Senator Harding has been say
ing in his. speeches that he
wants to get back to normalcy, J"
and Governor Coolidge processes
to wish for a restoration of "old
times. " ...'
These gentlemen are the can
didates of the "Old Guard" and
must, therefore, voice the wishes
of the "Old Guard" The nor
malcy" of ''old times" Senator
Harding wishes to get back to
must be that of the good old,
golden Mark Hanna days, when
an "Old Guards" campaign fund
exceeded $4,000, 900; when a
price was paid for elections;
when employees at great indus
trial plants were told by their
superintendent, the agents of
special interests, that unless
they voted as they (the repre-
sentatives of special interests)
wished them to vote, their jobs
would be closed to them on the
day following the election; they
were the days when corporation
task masters Wrung immense
dividends from the very blood of
women and children employed in
unregulated "sweatshops.
On the other hand, in the days
of ''normalcy," in the "oid
times" there was no Federal
Reserve system; panics were as
frequent as the seasons, and ma
tional bank failures occurred on
an average of one every three
weeks; there was no Farm Loan
$ stem; small farmers were the
victims of mortgage bank pirates
and tenancy was the curse of the
land; there was no Federal aid
IN road building, and every farm
e. paid mud tax" there was
no merchant marine; there was
none of the many benefcent
legislative enactments of the last
two democratic administrations
which wrested the power of the
government out of the hands of
a few and lodged it in the hands
Of the people. In those days of
"normaley" an insidious lobby
guided the hand that wrote the
laws placed npoa the Nation s
statute books until driven from
the corridors Of the Capitol as the
money-changers Of old were
lashed from the Temple.

''oid tunes" for which the "0ld
