IRELAND AND THE LEAGUE.

IN the interview printed yesterday in The Eve
/ ming World, Gov. Cox of Ohio ventured on
the ordinarily dangerous ground of the Irish ques-
ton. His statements are so full Of good common
sense, and therefore so different from the usual po
itieal treatment of the subject that they deserve
careful consideration.
Gov. Cox is frankly sympathetic with Ire
land and the Irish cause But he sees in this a
good reason why the United States should join the
League of Nations. He said
''The status Of the Irish people WILL be
lieve be promoted by the League Of Nations
The League would permit them to present
their TO the conscience OF the whole
world"
This is precisely the reverse of the attitude as
slmed by most politicians angling for the "lrish
vote" These have held out vague promises Of
recognition and even aid TO the Irish Republic.
These have sought popularity by the familiar and
tine-won device of Twisting the Lions tal"-at
safe distance.
The plain, unvamished truth Of the matter is:
The United States will not 90 10 war with Great
Britain even for an object so dear to the heart Of
many Americans as the freeing of Ireland
This being true the most effective help to Ireland
would be rendered through the League of Nations,
in which the United States could exercise all the
friendly pressure which could be modified IN all
the nations of the world-including the British col
onieS and dominions
"Hypocritca and political resolutions of smpa-
thy will not free Ireland. Not even recognition of
Irish independence win free Ireland. But once the
United States is in the League of Nations its repre-
sentative can be instructed to act as focal point
for the concentration Of the opinion of the world,
which in the main sympathzes with the rights of
the lrsh
2 Isn't it about time that Irish Sympahizers came
down to earth and ceased to allow denagogues to
play on their hatred for England with half promises
tiat the demagogueS know can never be fulflled2
Isn't it about time Irish synpathizers took ac
count of what may and may not be done and ex
erted their influence In the only way that promises
any measure of success?

SOMETHING TO SHOW FOR 1T.

u EPORTS of the Citizens Transportation Com
IN mittee indicate an increase in the amount of
freight moved even though the new effort has
cleared only trihing fraction of the material con-
gesing the piers
Even more gratifying would be a report Of the
introduction Of improved methods of moving the
freight.
Sooner or later New York mus. follow the lead
of more progressive cities and install something
approximatng a common carrier system of intra
city frsghting which will facilitate and cheaper
transport cost by attaining the closest possible ap
proach to 100 per cent efficiency in the use Of trans
fer equipment
This involves the use Of standardized motor
trucks equipped with removable and interchange
able bodies which may be loaded and unloaded with
out interrupting use of the motor
The Merchants Association is already on record
as favoring such an innovation. In purchasing
equipment the Transportation Committee should
exercise progressive and constructive judgment
Then whatever the outcome Of the industrial dis
pute which called the committee into being II would
have something to show for the money il is spending.

LeUiathan Fire Detection
System ReUeGIed CreW
Smoking After Lights Out

THE Navy officers who COM
manded the Leviathan when
that mighty ship was being used
as a transport are still laughing over
the humorous manner in which mem
bers Of the crew were once caught
breaking rules. For the men were
caught smoking off duty after the
smoking light was out" as they say
in naval paTlance, which Is 20 say
that IL was against the rules at that
hour, and they were caught by means
Of the ships fire detection system.
It appears that the men sought
lower hold far from the haunts of the
officers on duty and there, believing
themselves carefully concealed, they
had begun smoking to their hearts
content. But the ships fire detection
system consisted OF a series of pipes
to the holds through which a suction
fan was continually drawing air
samples to the wheelhouse. Here the
officer on duty noticed the curling
wisps OF smoke coming from the pipe
to one Of the lower holds. Not only
that, but on investigating the smoke
he noticed the old familiar odor Of the
demon nicotine itself.
Since the pipe line carrying the
smoke was labelled 1t was a matter
OF moments to hurry down 10 the
hold, catch the men in the act and
start them on a round of extra duty,
which, II IT did not cure the longing
for a smoke, at least temporarily, re-
formed them of smoking aboard ship.
And the funny part of 1t was that for
n long time after that the men were
puzzled to know how the officer had
traced them. The hold was near the
bottom of the ship, far from the
wheelhouse, and there was not
another man within many yards OF
their position. They knew no officer
had followed them and they thought
at least that there was no direct
connection between the hold and the
wheelhouse. And no one enlightened
them during many trips to France
and back until one OF the men hap
pening to investigate the odd cup-lik
"smoke collectors" learned that 1t
was the fire detecting system which
had proved their undoing,

China believed its cause was just. 1t refused to

now when the victory is almost won II refuses to

aggression. They were laughed at as fools. But
Chinas action against Japan lends strong support
to prove their case.

COIOrGtiOn of Arc lamp

TT is we'll known that arc lamp
globes tend to assume a purple
coloration under the action of
light, phenomenon due to the pres

counteract the greenish coloratiou
which would otherwise take place
owing to the effect OF ferrous salts
in the glass. Mr.. NJ. Lucklesh, writ

for arc globes II should be prescribed
that no manganese Is to be used. This
would avoid the coloring effect
