After a short period of service in

With the opening of the war it was
decided to raise and send to France
forestry troops, and their recruiting
was assigned to Col. Greeley. To
prepare the way for their operations
in the French forests. the chief for
ester, Col. Graves, was sent to France
and attached to the general staff. One
Of his first steps was to send for Col.
Greeley to aid in the work. After
Col. Graves returned to the United
States Col. Greeley took his place and
finally became chief of the forestry
section in the American expeditionary

sumed his old position in the forest

TRAFFIC COURT HEARINGS
TO BE RESUMED MONDAY

Representatives of the Washington
Board of Trade and of the Automobile
Association are TO testify tomorrow
when the traffic hearings are resumed
before the subcommittee of the
House District committee on the Zihl-
man bill to establish a traffic court in
the District.
Opposition to the bill was voiced late
yesterday by Judge Hardison of the
Police Court. who said that as soon
as the supply of liquor runs out the
two Police Court judges will be able
TO handle all traffic and other cases in
the Police Court He thought the pro-
vision for making all persons ar
rested for violation Of the traffic
regulations stand trial in court was
too severe. He thought that they
should be given a preliminary hearing
collateral He said that a large num-
Der of arrests might easily result from
ovcrjealous activity by the police.

Life and Death a Unity.

Life Is state which follows upon
death. Death Is state which pre-
cedes life. Which Of us understands
the laws that govern their succession?
The life Of man Is the resultant OF
forces. The aggregation of these forces
Is life; their dispersion, death. II.
then, life and death are but consecu-
tive states of existence, what cause
for sorrow have 1?
And so it Is that all things are but
phases of unity. What men delight
in is the spiritual essence OF life. What
they loathe is the material corruption
of death. But this state Of corrup-
ton gives place to that state OF spir-
ltuality and that state of spirituality
gives place in turn TO this state OF
corruption. Therefore we may say
that all in the universe Is comprised
In unity; and therefore the inspired
among us have adopted unity as their
criterion.-H. A. Giles, in Translated
Gems From Chinese Literature"

FEAR EMBODIMENT
WITH UNITED STATES
BRITISH SECRETARY OF WAR
SEES DANGER OF CLASH
OVER IRELAND.
Visions of England Aiding North and
America South Ireland Are Pre-
scented in Address Delivered
by British Official.

Dundee, Scotland.-Danger of EN-
broilment with the United States if
the north and south of Ireland were
left to fight out their own differences
was predicted by Winston Spencer
Churchill, the secretary of war, in his
speech Sunday night, in which he re,
ferred at length to the Irish situation.
Mr. Churchill, after asserting that
such a course would lead to civil wal
ION such an organized scale that II
would be disastrous and more terrible
than could be imagined" declared that
it would mean that in England sym,
pathy would develop in favor of III.
ster. Influential persons in the United
States, he said, sympathized with the
south of Ireland, and while volunteers
would leave England for the north OF
Ireland, reinforcements would come
from the United States for the south
That, added the war secretary
would create such tension that Great
Britain would be faced with the great.
est danger with which it could be con
fronted namely, quarrel with the
United States.
1.-TWO or three years more os what
we are going through" he added, zap
pears better to me than that we should
leave Ireland to herself and thus open
the floodgates of organized war and
later embroil us with the United
States
Mr.. Churchill previously in his
speech had declared that the reign OF
terror in Ireland would be suppressed
and that it would then be time for a
complete and permanent settlement OF
the Irish question.
