EXPECTS IRISH TO
TAKE COMPROMISE
Prof. Turner Makes Predic'
ton to American Histori-
cal Association.

Failure OF the Sim Fein organiza-
ton to carry out its program for COM
plete Independence and an eventual
compromise Of the Irish extremists
with England were predicted today by
Prof. Edward r. Turner. OF the Uni
versity of Michigan. in a paper read
before the American Historical Asso-
otation. now holding it's thirty-fifth
annual meeting at the New Willard
Hotel.
Prof. Turner. whose recent book on
ireland and England" attracted wide
attention, discussed the Sim Fem
movement from an impartial stand
point, and at the close one of his audi
ence, who said he WAS an ardent
home ruler" thanked the educator
for his fairness.
The speaker told Of the efforts to
revive Irish speech .and customs
which resulted in the Organization of
the Gaelic League in 1881, termed by
many the turning point of all mod
ern Irish development" From this
start Irish nationalist feeling con-
tinued to grow until the defeat of
the Sinn Fein political organization
in 1908. after which 1t declined until
1914.
1T is almost certain that in time
there will rise up more modern SEN
timent that will effect a compromise
with England said Prof. Turner.
But this sentiment undoubtedly has
had very beneficial effect, revitaliz-
ing the Irish character"
George NJ. butcher of the Wesleyan
University. Miss Ruth Putnam of
Washington and Col L. II. Holt of
West Point, who discussed The Es-
Enlistment of a New Poland" were
the other speakers before the modifi-
cation European history group OF the

cient and medieval history group dis
cussed the problems Of teaching that

terms of Harvard and the University
Of Michigan at various times.
Ordained I'm 1880.
He was ordained in the UniversaIist

which will be more difficult to control.
Senator Harding knows the Senate,
knows its customs and its tempera-
fIcnt. but unlike most senator's, he
saw no service on the House side a
the Capitol and is not so familiar
with the disposition Of the lower
branch of Congress. The new Presi-
dent will depend heavily upon the
Senate to check the House, but he
will be ready at all times to check the
senate il it should be swept OF its
feet.
That Congress will need a lot of
watching was evidenced recently by
the manner in which a drastic tariff
bill was rushed through the House
ri Representa- tives-a bill which, it Is
have helped the farmers out Of their
present difficulties. but which sue
ceeded in building up further iii-feel-
ing abroad against the United States.
The proposal to shut out all imports
of the necessaries of life for q time
brought quick threat of reprisal, not
from Europe. but from South America.
Senator Harding is particularly in
in South America, and he
believes in the southern half of this
hemisphere lies the greatest oppor-
unity for the United States. AT a
time when this country Is reaching
ont for the rich South American mar
ket il has been particularly regret
t. BILE TO have a threat of commercial
reprisal come from that quarter.
Mr. Harding is watching all these
things closely and he is going to let
the Congress leaders know that, even
in the short session. they are in effect
acting as a part Of the new admin
istration. Nothing that Congress can
90. or win do, at this time viii affect
he dying Wilson administration. All
Il does will have its effect upon Mr.
liarding's plans and hopes.
Hence the congressional conferences
which are in progress this week.
