THE HUNGER STRIKE.

The prison experience Of the mayor
OF Cork has attracted fresh attention
ITO the hunger strike as a lei of
resisting governmental authority. The
hunger strike first came into prom
inence in connection with the impris-
onment of militant su6ragettes in
England. Some OF these women, be-
ing imprisoned for violent demonstra-
tons such as the breaking Of win
dows, refused to eat while in custody.
and several of them were. brought to
the very brink of death. In some
cases forcible feeding was resorted to.
In other cases the prisoners finally
consented to partake OF food. Still
others were released aP the easiest
way. out Of q difficult situation.
In the case Of Mayor MacSwiney
<correct) the authorities appear to
have resolved not to be moved by any
suKerings which the prisoner might
bring upon himself. and not to re-
lease him even though his suicidal
purpose Is actually carried out.
The case Of this man has aroused
= great deal of sympathy. and not a
little indignation. The spectacle of
. man dying by inches when by the
mere act of throwing open his prison
doors he might be made to- live makes
astrong appealato sympathy, and ten
der senaibfttiea are bound to be
wrought mp to q pitch OF indignation
against those who made themselves
his custodians. But the case of this
man. IKE the cases Of allyothers who
seek to obtain their liberty through
tho voluntary infictton Of injury up
IN themselves, rests. not upon the
character or the degree Of that in
jury. but upon the easur Cd justice
which has been, meted out to them in
bringing about their incarceration.
II an individual is imprisoned in
pursuance of~the operation of law to
which he Is properly amenable, no
act OF s~elf-inflicted tortuue. no act

The sharp recovery of prices in the

the Brazilian Government has taken

the action OF Santos at that time failed
to indicate any such contemplated re-

Business Failures in Netherlands

'poo ANNs'o'
The number of business failures in
the Netherlands, according to, the re-
ports of Frank w. Mahin, American
consul at Amsterdam. during the hrst
six months of 1920 was 875. an increase
of 10 per cent over the corresponding
period Of 1910, when the number was
bS4. The number this year is about the
same as that in the years immediate,y
preceding the war. when business fail-
ures In this country numbered between
1900 and 1900 per annum. During Lne
war the number declined to about lOOo.
Tho present increase. therefore. may
fairly be- considered return to normal
conditions. Besides. there is no trade
depression in the Neither lands whlch
would cause an unusual number OF

Ruse Fooled the Bears
One Of the financial news bureaus Is

This mornings newspapers said
stop orders aggregating 5000 shares
were in Baldwin Wednesday from w
to OO1a. Traders were cunning foi
these stops on report that interests tha'
put tnc stops IN were IN sucn posi,ivh
marketwise that stock would have to DC
sold at those figures. The real truth
Of the matter IL that stops were put In
by the Baldwin pool itself and the
specialist in Baldwin was not averse tc
letting traders know about it. Man
ayers Of the Baldwin pool wanted the
news to get around knowing that traders
would go after these stops, but 1t was
their intention in the event that Bald
win got below par to withdraw the
stops. The rusc worked to PERFECTION
and Baldwin was one great big bear tir
throughout Wednesdays session. The
real facts got around yesterday ,ant
traders continued covering their shor'
contracts which resulted in running
the stock up to 104h shortly aftel
